ALARM TABLE

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.
