During this time, do not open the door and do not keep a large quantity of food inside. Unplug your appliance during a power cut to prevent damage to the compressor. Once power is restored, delay plugging in your appliance for 5 to 10 minutes. This will help prevent damage to the appliance's components.
4 FOOD STORAGE 4.1 Refrigerator Compartment • To reduce humidity and avoid the consequent formation of frost, always store liquids in sealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporating liquid and, in time, your appliance will require more frequent defrosting. • Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool at room temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator compartment.
• Consume thawed frozen food within a short period of time after defrosting • Never place warm food in the freezer compartment as it will thaw the frozen food. • Always follow the manufacturer's instructions on food packaging when storing frozen food. If no information is provided food, should not be stored for more than 3 months from the date of purchase. • When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it has been stored under appropriate conditions and that the packaging is not damaged.
