Air in the refrigerator circulates naturally so that colder,
heavier air tends to descend towards the bottom. This is
why meat and fish should be stored just above the crisper.
Remember to follow our instructions on the storage life of
different foods: If not stored correctly, even the freshest
food will deteriorate quite quickly.
Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not keep longer
than fresh food.
Remember to cool hot food before storing, otherwise the
temperature inside the appliance will increase, causing the
compressor to work harder and use more energy.
Do not store liquids in unsealed containers since this will
increase the humidity and lead to the formation of frost in
the refrigerator.
Be careful not to place containers (plastic or glass), food
or other objects in direct contact with the cooling area
of the back wall of the refrigerator. This could harm
the food, increase energy consumption and facilitate
the formation of condensate (on food, containers, etc.).

How to use the freezer compartment...

Consult a specialized manual when packaging foods
for freezing.
- Remember that you should never re-freeze products you
have allowed to thaw, even if only partially: cook the food,
then either eat (within 24 hours) or re-freeze it.
- When freezing fresh foods, remember that they should
not touch other previously frozen or deep frozen foods. Place
the food that you wish to freeze in the top compartment
where the temperature will fall below -18°C, which is ideal
for freezing food properly. Remember that proper conser-
vation depends on the speed of freezing.
- Do not open the freezer door during freezing.
- Freeze only the quantities (in kg) shown on the data plate
on the left of the crisper.
- For the best conservation and defrosting, remember to
freeze small portions; this will ensure rapid and uniform freez-
ing. Mark package with a description of the contents and
the date it was frozen.
- In order to have a larger storage volume, the freezer com-
partment can be used without its drawers (except for the
first one from the bottom), placing food directly onto the
evaporator plates. After introducing the food to be stored,
make sure that the door shuts properly.
- In the case of power failure or breakdown, do not open
the freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature
inside the freezer ensuring that foods are conserved for at
least 9-14 hours.
The refrigerator compartment of your appliance is fitted with
practical, removable shelves (Fig. 1) whose height can be
adjusted to allow for storage of large containers. These
shelves can also be tilted for storage of opened bottles.

- Do not store full bottles in the freezer since they could
explode when they freeze. (Remember that liquids increase
in volume when frozen).
- If the room temperature remains below 14°C for an ex-
tended period of time the freezer will not reach the tem-
peratures required for storage, and storage life will be shorter.
In this case, frozen foodstuffs should be used within a rela-
tively short period of time.
