Important!
The level of air humidity in the drawers de-
pends on the content of humidity in the
stored food, vegetable and fruit and on the
frequency of door opening
The NaturaFresh 0°C compartment is also
suitable for slow thawing of food. In this
case the thawed food can be stored in the
NaturaFresh 0°C compartment for up to
two days.
Tips:
• Pay attention to the freshness of the
food, especially on the expiry date. Quali-
ty and freshness influence the storage
time.
• The whole storage cycle time will depend
on the preservation conditions made pri-
or to the final storage in the fridge.
• Food, fruit or vegetables should always
be packed or wrapped up before stor-
age.
• 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 NaturaFresh 0°C com-
partment 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 NaturaFresh 0°C
compartment should be taken out of the
drawers roughly 15-30 min before con-
sumption, particularly fruit and vegetables
to be consumed without any additional
cooking process. Allowing fruit and vege-
tables 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 consequent-
ly a better conservation of foods.
The compartment has stops to prevent the
drawers from falling out when fully exten-
ded.
To remove the drawers (e.g. for cleaning
purposes), 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
temperature and the appliance is fully
loaded, the compressor may run continu-
ously, causing frost or ice on the evapo-
rator. If this happens, set the Tempera-
ture Regulator toward warmer settings to
allow automatic defrosting and so a sav-
ing in electricity consumption.
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
• position food so that air can circulate
freely around it
