7 A B C#e#FOOD-STORAGE TIPS
FRIDGE COMPARTMENT
The refrigerator is the ideal storage location for ready meals, fresh and preserved food, dairy products, fruit and vegetables and beverage.
AIR VENTILATION
The natural circulation of air in the refrigerator compartment results in zones with different temperatures. It is coldest directly above the fruits and vegetables crisper and at the rear wall. It is warmest at the top front of the compartment.
Insufficient ventilation results in an increase in energy consumption and reduction of the refrigerating performance.
Do not cover air slots by food on other staff - they are optimized for proper air circulation and food preservation.
HOW TO STORE FRESH FOOD AND BEVERAGE
Use recyclable plastic, metal, aluminum and glass containers and cling film to wrap foods.
Always use closed containers for liquids and for food that may give off or be tainted by odor or flavor transfer or cover them.
Foods which give off a large amount ethylene gas and those that are sensitive to this gas, such as fruit, vegetables and salad, should always be separated or wrapped so as not to reduce the storage life; for example do not store tomatoes together with kiwi fruits or cabbage.
Do not store food too close together to enable sufficient air circulation.
To avoid bottles falling over, you can use the bottle holder.
If you have a little quantity of food to store in the refrigerator, we recommend to use the shelves above the crisper for fruits and vegetables since this is the coolest area of the compartment.
WHERE TO STORE FRESH FOOD AND BEVERAGE
On the fridge shelves: ready meals, tropical fruits, cheeses, deli.
In the coldest area (the one above the fruits and vegetables crisper): meat, fish, cold cuts, cakes
In the fruits and vegetables crisper: fruits, salad, vegetables.
In the door: butter, jams, sauces, pickles, cans, bottles, beverage cartons, eggs.

FREEZER DRAWERS
Note
The Grey tone of the legend doesn't match with the color of drawers
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
The freezer is the ideal storage location for store frozen food, make ice cubes and freeze fresh food in the freezer compartment.
The maximum number of kilograms of fresh food that can be frozen within a 24-hour period is indicated on the rating plate (…kg/24h). If you have a little quantity of food to store in the freezer, we recommend to use the middle area.
TIPS FOR FREEZING AND STORING FRESH FOOD
We recommend to label and date all your frozen food. Adding a label will help you to identify foods and to know when they should be used before their quality deteriorates.Do not re-freeze defrosted food.
Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags, polythene containers with lids or freezer containers suitable for freezing fresh food.
Food must be fresh, mature and of prime quality in order to obtain high quality frozen food.
Fresh vegetables and fruit should preferably be
frozen as soon as they are picked to maintain the full original nutritional value, consistency, colour and flavor. Some meat, especially game, should be hung before it is frozen.
Always leave hot food to cool before placing in the freezer.
Eat fully or partially defrosted foods immediately. Do not refreeze unless the food is cooked after it has thawed. Once cooked, the thawed food can be refrozen.
Do not freeze bottles with liquid.
Please use fast cooling function to speed up cooling of freezing process (see Daily Reference Guide).
FROZEN FOOD: SHOPPING TIPS
When purchasing frozen food products:
Ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen food in damaged packaging may have deteriorated). If the package is swollen or has damp patches, it may not have been stored under optimal conditions and defrosting may have already begun.
When shopping, buy frozen foods at the end of your trip and transport them in a thermally insulated cool bag.
Once at home, place the frozen foods immediately in the freezer.
If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it. Consume within 24 hours.
Avoid or reduce temperature variations to the minimum. Respect the best-before date on the package.
Always observe the storage information on the package.

RECOMMENDATION IN CASE OF NO USE OF THE APPLIANCE
ABSENCE / VACATION In case longer absence its recommended to use up
food and to disconnect the appliance to save energy.
MOVING
- Take out all internal parts.
-
Wrap them well, and fix them together with adhesive tape so that they do not bang together or get lost.
-
Screw the adjustable feet so that they do not touch the support surface.
-
Close and fix door with adhesive tape and, again using adhesive tape, fix the power cable to the appliance.
POWER FAILURE
In the event of a power failure, call the local office of your electricity supply company and ask how long it is going to last.
Note: Bear in mind that a full appliance will stay cold longer than a partially filled one.
If ice crystals are still visible on the food, it may be frozen again, although flavour and aroma may be affected.
If food is found to be in a poor condition, it is best to throw it away.
For power failures lasting up to 24 hours. Keep the door of the appliance closed. This will allow the stored food to stay cold as long as possible.
For power failures lasting more than 24 hours. Empty the freezer compartment and arrange the food in a portable freezer. If this type of freezer is not available and, likewise, no artificial ice packs are available, try to use up the food, which is more easily perishable.
Empty the ice tray.

BEFORE CONTACTING AFTER-SALES SERVICE...
Performance problems often result from little things you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind.
FUNCTIONAL SOUNDS
Sounds coming from your appliances are normal since it has a number of fans and engines to
regulate performances that switch on and off automatically.
SOME OF THE FUNCTIONAL SOUNDS CAN BE REDUCED THROUGH:
Leveling the appliance and installing it on an even surface.
Checking if the internal components are correctly placed.
Separating and avoiding contact between the appliance and furniture.
Checking if bottles and containers are not in contact with each other.
SOME OF THE FUNCTIONAL SOUNDS YOU MIGHT HEAR
A hissing sound when switching on the appliance for the first time or after a long pause.
