Hints for storage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should: make sure that the
commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer; be sure that frozen
foodstuffs are transferred from the food store to the freezer in the shortest possible time;
not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen.
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacture.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator
• Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour
• Make (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelves above the
vegetable drawer.
• For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.
• Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc...: these should be covered and may be placed on any
shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special
drawer(s) provided.
• Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in
aluminum foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
• Milk bottle: these should have a cap and should be stored in the balconies on the door.
• Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the fridge.
To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions:
• Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the
temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
• Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage
systems.
• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in
contact with or drip onto other food.
• Two-star frozen-food compartments are suitable for storing pre-frozen food,
storing or making ice cream and making ice cubes.
• One-, two- and three-star compartments are not suitable for the freezing of fresh
food.
Note: Please store different foods according to the compartments or target storage
temperature of your purchased products.

leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.
