To prevent the transfer of flavors and to keep from drying out, wrap or cover food separately. Fruits
and vegetables do not need to be wrapped and can be placed in the crisper designated for fresh fruit
and vegetables.
•
Always let cooked foods cool before putting them in the refrigerator or the freezer. This will help
maintain the internal temperature of the appliance.
•
To prevent loss of cold air, try to limit the number of times you open the door. We recommend not
opening the door only when necessary.
• To reduce moisture and subsequent ice build-up, never put liquid into the refrigerator in unsealed
containers. Frost tends to concentrate in the coolest parts of the evaporator. Storing uncovered
liquids results in a more frequent need for defrosting.
• Never put warm foods in the refrigerator. These should first cool down at room temperature and
then be placed so as to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator.
• Foods or food containers should not touch the back wall of the refrigerator because they could freeze
to the wall. Do not keep regularly opening the door of the refrigerator.
FREEZER COMPARTMENT CONSERVATION TIPS
• The freezer is designated for the storage of food frozen at very low temperature, long-term storage of
frozen food, and for the production of ice.
• Only use the shelves in the door of the freezer to store frozen food.
• Do not put fresh and frozen food next to each other. The frozen food may thaw.
• Storing frozen food: instructions are usually stated on the packages, which must be followed. If there
is no information on the packaging, food should not be stored for longer than three months from the
date of purchase.
• When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it was frozen at a suitable temperature and that the
packaging is not damaged.
• Frozen food should be kept in suitable packages to retain the quality and should be returned to the
freezer compartment as soon as possible.
• If a package of frozen food shows moisture or abnormal bulging, it is probable that it was stored at the
wrong temperature and the content has spoiled.
• The storage period for frozen food depends on the room temperature, the thermostat setting, the
frequency of opening the door of the freezer, the type of food and the time of transporting the product
from the shop to the household. Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging and never
exceed the maximum storage time stated on the package.
RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURE
The optimal temperature setting for food storage ;
•
Fridge: 4 °C
•
Freezer: -19°C
NOTE: The optimal temperature setting of each compartment also depends on the ambient
temperature. The suggested optimal temperatures above are based on an ambient temperature of 25
°C.
