HOW TO STORE FOOD
AND BEVERAGE
FRIDGE COMPARTMENT
Use recyclable plastic, metal, aluminum and
glass containers and cling lm to wrap
foods.
Always use closed containers for liquids and
for food that may give o or be tainted by
odor or avor transfer or cover them.
If you have a little quantity of food to store
in the refrigerator, we recommend to use
the shelves above the crisper for fruits and
vegetables since this is the coolest area of
the compartment.
Foods which give o a large amount
ethylene gas and those that are sensitive to
this gas, such as fruit, vegetables and salad,
should always be separated or wrapped so
as not to reduce the storage life; for
example do not store tomatoes together
with kiwi fruits or cabbage.
To avoid bottles falling over, you can use the
bottle holder (available on selected models).
Do not store food too close together to
enable sucient air circulation.
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
The freezer is the ideal storage location for
store frozen food, make ice cubes and freeze
fresh food in the freezer compartment.
The maximum number of kilograms of fresh
food that can be frozen within a 24-hour
period is indicated on the rating plate (
kg/24h).
If you have a little quantity of food to store
in the freezer, we recommend to use the
coldest areas of your freezer compartment,
corresponding to the middle area.
