The level of air humidity in the drawers de-
pends on the content of humidity in the stor-
ed food, vegetable and fruit and on the fre-
quency of door opening
The 0°C compartment is also suitable for
slow thawing of food. In this case the thawed
food can be stored in the 0°C compartment
for up to two days.
Tips:
• Pay attention to the freshness of the food,
especially on the expiry date. Quality and
freshness influence the storage time.
• The whole storage cycle time will depend
on the preservation conditions made prior
to the final storage in the fridge.
• Food, fruit or vegetables should always be
packed or wrapped up before storage.
• Animal food always store packed and dry.
• Food rich in proteins will go bad quicker.
This means seafood will spoil before fish
which in turn will spoil before meat. While
storing food in a 0°C compartment storage
time for that kind of food can be increased
by up to three times as well without loss on
quality.
• All food stored in a 0°C compartment
should be taken out of the drawers roughly
15-30 min before consumption, particu-
larly fruit and vegetables to be consumed
without any additional cooking process.
Allowing fruit and vegetables to return to
room temperature will improve the texture
and flavour.
Drawer
The wire shelves inside the drawers permit
that air can circulate freely and consequently
a better conservation of foods.
The compartment has stops to prevent the
drawers from falling out when fully extended.
To remove the drawers (e.g. for cleaning pur-
poses), pull them out as far as the stops, lift
and extract.. .
Helpful hints and tips
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the
Temperature Regulator is set to low tem-
perature and the appliance is fully loaded,
the compressor may run continuously,
causing frost or ice on the evaporator. If
this happens, set the Temperature Regu-
lator toward warmer settings to allow au-
tomatic defrosting and so a saving in elec-
tricity consumption.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating liq-
uids in the refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it
has a strong flavour
• position food so that air can circulate freely
around it
Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags and
place on the glass shelf 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.
