5.12 Tips on storing fresh food

5.12.1 Storing into the refrigerator compartment

▶ 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

air owing around them, for a better and more homogeneous cooling.

▶ Foods eaten daily should be stored at the front of the shelf. ▶ Leave a gap between foods and the inner walls, allowing air owing. 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 thawed in the refrigerator compartment. This saves en-

ergy.

▶ The ageing process of fruit and vegetables such as courgettes, melons, papaya, ba-

nana, 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 clean-

ing is required. See CARE AND CLEANING.

▶ Dierent foods should be placed in dierent areas according to their properties (Fig.:

5.12.1).

5.12.2 Storage into the freezer compartment

▶ Keep the freezer temperature at- 18°C. ▶ 24 hours before freezing switch on the Super-Freeze function; -for small quantities

of food 4-6 hours are sucient.

▶ Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the freezer com-

partment.

▶ 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 pack-

aging 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.

Do not place the food having these substances (e.g. sea sh) directly on the internal

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

rst cooked, otherwise it may bless edible.

▶ 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!

5.12.3 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 – temper-

ature rises aect the quality of food.

6- Energy saving tips

Energy saving tips

▶ Make sure the appliance is properly ventilated (see INSTALLATION). ▶ Do not install the appliance in direct sunlight or in the near of heat sources(e.g. stoves,

heaters).

▶ Avoid unnecessarily low temperature in the appliance. The energy consumption in-

creases the lower the temperature in the appliance is set. ▶ Functions like SUPER-FREEZE consume more energy. ▶ Allow warm food to cool down before placing it in the appliance. ▶ Open the appliance door as little and as briey as possible. ▶ Do not overll the appliance to avoid obstructing the air ow. ▶ Avoid air within the food packaging. ▶ Keep door seals clean so that the door always closes correctly. ▶ Defreeze frozen food in the fridge storage compartment.

9.2 Power interruption

In the event of a power cut, food should remain safely cold for about 20 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 20 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 fail-

ure, the storage period and edible quality of food will be reduced. Any food that de-

frosts 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.
