Fruit and vegetable box with automatic humidity control
Fruits and vegetables will remain fresh for a longer time if they are stored
in this compartment with automatic humidity control.
The fruit and vegetable box cover is equipped with an ecological plant
membrane with respiratory function.
If the humidity increases due to respiration of fresh vegetables, the structure
of the membrane opens and allows excess moisture to escape to the
outside air. If the vegetable/fruit loses too much water, the membrane
prevents water evaporation so the fruit and vegetable box can be
maintained at optimum humidity of 90%.
Note: Do not cover the plant membrane
OK temperature indicator
The OK temperature indicator can be used to determine temperatures
below 4
o
C
.
Gradually reduce the temperature if the sign does not indicate
OK.
Note: It may take up to 12 hours after the product has been switched on
for the correct temperature to be reached.

– Do not store excessive quantities of food. Leave space between
foods to allow cold air to flow around them, for a better and more
homogeneous cooling.
– Foods eaten daily should be stored at the front of the shelf.
– Leave a gap between foods and the inner walls, allowing air flow.
– Do not store foods touching the rear wall. Food could freeze against
the rear wall.
– Avoid direct contact of food (especially oily or acidic food) with the
inner liner, as oil/acid can erode the inner liner. Clean away oily/acid dirt
whenever it is found.
– Defrost frozen food in the fridge storage compartment. This way, you
can use the frozen food to reduce the temperature in the compartment
and save energy.
– The ageing process of fruit and vegetables such as courgettes, melons,
papaya, banana, pineapple, etc. can be accelerated in the fridge.
Therefore, it is not advisable to store them in the fridge. However, the
ripening of strong green fruits can be promoted for a certain period.
– Onions, garlic, ginger and other root vegetables should be stored at
room temperature.
– Unpleasant odours inside the fridge are an indication that something has
spilled and should be cleaned immediately.
– Different kinds of food should be placed in different areas according to
their properties:
Food Location
Butter. cheese Upper door rack
Eggs Door rack
Fruit. vegetables, salad Fruit and vegetable box or Variable
temperature box
(2 °C – 5 °C)
Meat. sausage, cheese. milk Lower area (lowest shelf/ coverage above the
fruit and vegetable box)
Dairy products. canned food, cans Upper area or door rack
Drinks, bottles. tubes Door rack
Fresh meat. fresh fish. Sausages, Cooked foods Variable temperature box
(-2 °C – 2 °C)

Tips on storing frozen food
– Keep the freezer temperature at -18 °C.
– 24 hours before freezing additional items switch on Fast freeze mode
(for small quantities of food 4-6 hours is sufficient).
– Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the
freezer compartment.
– Food cut into small portions will freeze faster and is easier to defrost
and cook. The recommended weight for each portion is less than 2.5 kg
– It is better to pack food before putting it into the freezer. The outside
of the packaging must be dry to avoid bags sticking together. Packaging
materials should be odour-free, airtight, non-poisonous and non-toxic.
– To avoid expiration of storage periods, we recommend that you make
a note of the freezing date, time limit and name of the food on the
packaging according to the storage periods of different foods.
– Acid, alkali and salt etc. can erode the internal surface of the freezer. Do
not place food which includes these substances (e.g. sea fish) directly
on the internal surface. Salt water in the freezer should be cleaned up
immediately.
– Do not exceed the food storage times recommended by the
manufacturers.
– Only take the required amount of food out of the freezer.
– Consume defrosted food quickly. Defrosted food cannot be re-frozen
unless it is first cooked, otherwise it may cause a health hazard.
– Do not load excessive quantities of fresh food in the freezer
compartment. Refer to the freezing capacity of the freezer – see the
technical data or the type plate.
– Food can be stored in the freezer at a temperature of at least -18 °C
for 2 to 12 months, depending on its properties (e.g., meat: 3-12
months, vegetables: 6-12 months).
– When freezing fresh food, avoid bringing it in contact with already
frozen food as there may be a risk of thawing the frozen food.
When storing commercially frozen foods, please follow these guidelines:
– Always follow manufacturers’ guidelines for the length of time you
should store food for. Do not exceed these guidelines.
– Try to keep the length of time between purchase and storage as short
as possible to preserve food quality.
– Buy frozen foods which have been stored at a temperature of -18 °C
or below.
– Avoid buying food which has ice or frost on the packaging – this may
indicate that the products have been partially defrosted and refrozen at
some point.
