FOOD STORAGE IN THE APPLIANCE

Refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator compartment is used for storing fresh food for a few days.

• Do not place food in direct contact with the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment. Leave some space around food to allow circulation of air.
• Do not place hot food or evaporating liquid in the refrigerator.
  • Always store food in closed containers or wrapped.
• To reduce humidity and avoid formation of frost, never place liquids in unsealed containers in the refrigerator.
• Meat of all types, wrapped in packages, is recommended to be placed on the glass shelf just above the vegetable bin, where the air is colder.
• You can put fruit and vegetables into the crisper without packaging.
• To avoid cold air escaping, try not to open the door too often, and not leave the door open for a long time.
• For normal working conditions, it will be sufficient to adjust the temperature setting of your refrigerator to +4 °C.
• The temperature of the fridge compartment should be in the range of 0-8 °C, fresh foods below 0 °C are iced and rotted, bacterial load increases above 8 °C, and spoils.
• Do not put hot food in the refrigerator immediately, wait for the temperature to pass outside. Hot foods increase the degree of your refrigerator and cause food poisoning and unnecessary spoiling of the food.
• Meat, fish, etc. should be store in the chiller compartment of the food, and the vegetable compartment is preferred for vegetables. (if available)
• To prevent cross contamination, meat products and fruit vegetables are not stored together.
• Foods should be placed in the refrigerator in closed containers or covered to prevent moisture and odors.

Freezer compartment

The freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh foods and for storing frozen foods for the period of time indicated on packaging, and for making ice cubes.

• For freezing fresh food; wrap and seal fresh food properly, that is the packaging should be air tight and shouldn't leak. Special freezer bags, aluminum foil polythene bags and plastic containers are ideal.
• Do not allow the fresh food to be frozen to come into contact with the already frozen food.
• Always mark the date and the content on the pack and do not exceed the stated storage time.
• In case of a power failure or malfunction, the freezer compartment will maintain a sufficiently low temperature for food storage. However, avoid opening the freezer door to slow down the temperature rise within the freezer compartment.
• The maximum amount of fresh foods that can be loaded in the freezer within 24 hours is indicated on the name plate (see Freezing Capacity).
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment.

- When purchasing and storing frozen food products; ensure that the packaging is not damaged.

- The storage time and the recommended temperature for storing frozen foods are indicated on the packaging. For storing and using, follow the manufacturer's instructions. If no information is provided, food should not be stored for more than 3 months.

- Place frozen food in the freezer compartment as soon as possible after buying it.

- Once the food is thawed, it must not be refrozen; you must cook it as quickly as possible in order to consume or to freeze once again.

- Storage: If you want to use the maximum net capacity, you can remove the drawers and store the items directly on the cooling tubes. This will enable you to make use of the entire volume of the compartment.

• Suggestion for Food Storage:

- It's suggested to set the temperature at 4^ in the fridge compartment, and, whether possible, at -18^ in the freezer compartment.

- For most food categories, the longest storage time in the fridge compartment is achieved with colder temperatures. Since some particular products (as fresh fruits and vegetables) may be damaged with colder temperatures, it is suggested to keep them in the crisper drawers, whenever present. If not present, maintain an average setting of the thermostat.

- For frozen food, refer to the storage time written on the food packaging. This storage time is achieved whenever the setting respects the reference temperatures of the compartment (one-star -6°C, two stars -12°C, three stars -18°C

- Set the knob to a low/medium position, up to 3, for short term stroge of food in the appliance.

- Set the knob to a medium position, 3, or 4 for lpng-term storage of food in the appliance.

- Set the knob to 5 position for freezing the fresh food. The appliance will run for colder temperatures.

SCRAPPING OLD APPLIANCES

This appliance is marked according to the European directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).

WEEE contains both polluting substances (which can cause negative consequences for the environment) and basic components (which can be re-used). It is important to have WEEE subjected to specific treatments, in order to remove and dispose properly all pollutants, and recover and recycle all materials.

Individuals can play an important role in ensuring that WEEE does not become an environmental issue; it is essential to follow some basic rules:

• WEEE should not be treated as household waste;
• WEEE should be handed over to the relevant collection points managed by the municipality or by registered companies. In many countries, for large WEEE, home collection could be present.

In many countries, when you buy a new appliance, the old one may be returned to the retailer who has to collect it free of charge on a one-to-one basis, as long as the equipment is of equivalent type and has the same functions as the supplied equipment.

Conformity

By placing the CE mark on this product, we are confirming compliance to all relevant European safety, health and environmental requirements which are applicable in legislation for this product.
