5.13 Tips on storing fresh food

5.13.1Storingintotherefrigeratorcompartment

Keep your fridge temperature below 5°C.

Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the appliance.Foods stored in the refrigerator should be washed and dried before storing

Food to be stored should be properly sealed to avoid odour or taste alterations.

Do not store excessive quantities of food. Leave spaces between foods to allow cold airflowingaroundthem,forabetterandmorehomogeneouscooling.

Foods eaten daily should be stored at the front of the shelf.

Leave a gap between foods and the inner walls, allowing air flowing. In special way don’t store foods against the rear wall: foods could freeze against rear wall. Avoid direct contact of food (especially oily or acidic food) with the inner liner, as oil/acid can erode the inner liner. Clean away oily/acid dirt whenever it is found.

Frozen food can be gently defreezed in the refrigerator compartmentor with defrost function in the MyZone box. This saves energy.

The ageing process of fruit and vegetables such as courgettes, melons, papaya, banana, pineapple, etc. can be accelerated in the refrigerator. Therefore, it is not advisable to store them in the refrigerator. However, the ripening of strongly green fruits can be promoted for a certain period. Onions, garlic, ginger and other root vegetables should also be stored at room temperature.

Unpleasant odours inside the fridge are a sign that something has spilled and cleaning is required. See CARE AND CLEANING.

5.13.2Storageintothefreezercompartment

5- Use

Keep the freezer temperature at18°C.

24 hours before freezing switch on the Super-Freeze function; -for small quantities offood4-6hoursaresufficient.

Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the freezer compartment.

Food cut into small portions will freeze faster and be easier to defrost and cook. The recommended weight for each portion is less than 2.5 kg

It is better to pack food before putting it into the freezer. The outside of the packaging must be dry to avoid bags sticking together. Packaging materials should be odour-free, airtight, non-poisonous and nontoxic.

In order to avoid expiration of storage periods, please note the freezing date, time limit and name of the food on the packaging according to the storage periods of different foods.

WARNING!: Acid, alkali and salt etc. could erode the internal surface of the freezer.

Donotplacethefoodhavingthesesubstances(e.g.seafish)directlyontheinternal surface. Salt water in the freezer should be cleaned up immediately.

Do not exceed the food storage times recommended by the manufacturers. Only take the required amount of food out of the freezer.

Consume defrosted food quickly. Defrosted food cannot be re-frozen unless it is firstcooked,otherwiseitmayblessedible.

Do not load excessive quantities of fresh food in the freezer compartment. Refer to the freezing capacity of the freezer – See TECHNICAL DATA or data at the type plate.

Food can be stored in the freezer at a temperature of at least -18°C for 2 to 12 months, depending on its properties (e.g., meat: 3-12 months, vegetables: 6-12 months)

When freezing fresh food, avoid bringing it in contact with already frozen food. Risk of thawing!

When storing commercially frozen foods, please follow these guidelines:

Always follow manufacturers’ guidelines for the length of time you should store food for. Do not exceed these guidelines!

Try to keep the length of time between purchase and storage as short as possible to preserve food quality.

Buy frozen foods, which have been stored at a temperature of –18 °C or below.

Avoid buying food which has ice or frost on the packaging – This indicates that the products might have been partially defrosted and refrozen at some point – temperaturerisesaffectthequalityoffood.

9.2 Power interruption

In the event of a power cut, food should remain safely cold for about 16 hours. Follow these tips during a prolonged power interruption, especially in summer:

Open the door/drawer as few times as possible.

Do not put additional food into the appliance during a power interruption.

If prior notice of a power interruption is given and the interruption duration is longer than 16 hours, make some ice and put it in a container in the top of the refrigerator compartment.

An inspection of the goods is required immediately after the interruption.

As temperature in the refrigerator will rise during a power interruption or other failure, the storage period and edible quality of food will be reduced. Any food that defrosts should be either consumed, or cooked and refrozen (where suitable) soon afterwards in order to prevent health risks.

Notice: Memory function during power interruption

After restoration of power the appliance continues with the settings that were set before the power failure.

Keep all packaging materials out of children´s reach and dispose them in an environmentally friendly manner.

Take the appliance out of the packaging.Remove all packaging materials.

10.2 Environmental conditions

The room temperature should always be between 10° C and 43° C, since it can influence the temperature inside the appliance and its energy consumption. Do not install the appliance near other heat-emitting appliances (ovens, refrigerators) without isolation.

10.3 Door reversibility

Before the appliance is permanently installed, check the correct position of the door hinge. If necessary see section the DOOR REVERSIBILITY.

10.4 Space requirement

Required space when door is opened (Fig. 10.4):

Appliance width in mm		Appliance depth in mm
W1	W2	D1	D2
595	925	580	1200

10.5 Ventilaton cross-section

To achieve sufficient ventilation of the appliance for safety reasons, the information of the required ventilation cross sections must be observed (Fig. 10.5).

10.6 Aligning the appliance

The appliance should be placed on a fllat and solid surface.

1.Tilt the appliance slightly backwards (Fig. 10.6).

2.Set the feet to the desired level.

3.The stability can be checked by alternately bumping on the diagonals. The slightly swaying should be the same in both directions. Otherwise the frame can warp; possible leaking door seals are the result. A low tendency to the rear facilitates the closing of the door.

10.7Waiting time

To the maintenance-free lubrication oil is located in the capsule of the compressor. This oil can get through the closed pipe system during slanting transport. Before connecting the appliance to the power supply you have to wait 2 hours (Fig.10.7) so that the oil runs back into the capsule.

10.8 Electrical connection

Before each connection check if:

power supply, socket and fusing are appropriate to the rating plate.the power socket is earthed and no multi-plug or extension.

the power plug and socket are strictly according. Connect the plug to a properly installed household socket.

WARNING!

To avoid risks a damaged power cord must be replaced by the customer service (see warranty card).
