5.14 Tips on storing fresh food

5.14.1 Storing into the fridge 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 fridge 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.

▶ Defreeze frozen food in the fridge storage compartment. This way, you can use the

frozen food to decrease the temperature in the compartment and save energy.

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

nana, pineapple, etc. can be accelerated in the fridge. Therefore, it is not advisable to store them in the fridge. 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.

5.14.1):

5.14.1

1 Butter, cheese etc. 2 Eggs, canned food, spices etc. 3 Drinks and bottled foods. 4 Pickled foods, canned food, etc. 5/6 Meat products, snack foods, etc. 7 Pasta, canned food, milk, tofu, dairy etc. 8 Cooked meat, sausages, etc. 9 Fruits, vegetables, salad, etc

Page 20

5- Use

1 Less weighty items, such as ice cream, vegeta-

bles, bread etc.

2 Large/heavier portions of food, such as meats

joints for roasting

3 Beverage without high alcohol and temporary

storage of spirits with a high alcohol content, small parts like Pizza or herbs.

5.14.2

5.14.2 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.

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

5.14.2):

Notice: Storage

▶ Please keep the distance more than 10 mm between the food placed and the sensor

to ensure the cooling eect.

▶ Please keep the lowest drawer when the appliance working in order to ensure the

cooling eect.

▶ The food with ice (like ice cream etc.) should be stored inside the freezer compart-

ment instead of on the bottle holder, for the temperature changes at bottle holder caused by door opening and closing may thaw the food.

Page 21

5- Use

5.14.3 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.

▶ 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!

▶ Defreeze frozen food in the fridge. This way, you can use the frozen food to de-

crease the temperature in the compartment and save energy.

9.2 Power interruption

In the event of a power cut, food should remain safely cold for about 5 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 5 hours, make some ice and put it in a container in the top of the fridge com-

partment. ▶ An inspection of the goods is required immediately after the interruption. ▶ As temperature in the fridge 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 after-

wards 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.
