6.1 Refrigerator Compartment
For normal operating conditions, set the
temperature of the refrigerator compart-
ment to +39 or +43 °F.
• 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 refrig-
erator. War
m food should be allowed
to cool at room temperature and
should be arranged to ensure ade-
quate air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment.
• Make sure no items are in direct
contact with the rear wall of the
appliance as frost can develop and
packaging will stick to it. Do not open
the refrigerator door frequently.
• We recommend that meat and clean
sh are loosely wrapped and stored
on the glass shelf just above the veg-
etable bin where the air is cooler
, as
this provides the best storage condi-
tions.
• Store loose fruit and vegetable items
in the crisper containers.
• Store loose fruit and vegetables in the
crisper.
• Storing fruit and vegetables separate-
ly.
• Do not put wet vegetables into the
refrigerator.
• Storage time for all food products de-
pends on the initial quality of the food
and an uninterrupted refrigeration cycle
before refrigerator storage.
• To avoid cross-contamination do not
store meat products with fruit and
vegetables. Water leaking from meat
may contaminate other products in the
refrigerator. You should package meat
products and clean any leakages on
the shelves.
• Do not put food in front of the air ow
passage.
• Consume packaged foods before the
recommended expiry date.
Note: Potatoes, onions and garlic
should not be stored in the refrigerator.
