Tips on storing fresh food

Storing in the refrigerator compartment

▶ Keep your fridge temperature below 5°C.

▶ Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the appliance.

▶ Foods stored in the refrigerator should be washed and dried before storing.

▶ Food to be stored should be properly sealed to avoid odour or taste alterations.

▶ Do not store excessive quantities of food. Leave spaces between foods to allow cold air flowing 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 airflow. Don’t store foods against the rear wall: foods could freeze against 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.

▶ Defreeze frozen food in the fridge storage compartment. This way, you can use the frozen food to decrease 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 refrigerator. Therefore, it is not advisable to store them in the refrigerator. However, the ripening of strongly green fruits can be promoted for a certain period. Onions, garlic, ginger and other root vegetables should also be stored at room temperature.

▶ Unpleasant odours inside the fridge are a sign that something has spilled and cleaning is required. See CARE AND CLEANING.

▶ Different foods should be placed in different areas according to their properties:

Storage in the freezer compartment

▶ Keep the freezer temperature at -18°C.

▶ 24 hours before freezing, switch on the Super Freeze function; for small quantities of food 4-6 hours are sufficient.

▶ Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the freezer compartment.

▶ Food cut into small portions will freeze faster and be easier to defrost and cook. The recommended weight for each portion is less than 2.5Kg

▶ 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 nontoxic.

▶ In order to avoid expiration of storage periods, please note the freezing date, time limit and name of the food on the packaging according to the storage periods of different foods.

▶ WARNING! Acid, alkali and salt etc. could erode the internal surface of the freezer. Do not place food with these substances (eg. seafood) directly on internal surfaces. 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 be less edible.

▶ Do not load excessive quantities of fresh food in the freezer compartment. Refer to the freezing capacity of the freezer (see TECHNICAL DATA).

▶ Food can be stored in the freezer at a temperature of at least -18°C for 2 to 12 months, depending on its properties (eg. meat: 3-12 months, vegetables: 6-12 months).

▶ When freezing fresh food, avoid bringing it in contact with already frozen food. Risk of thawing!

▶ Defreeze frozen food in the fridge. This way, you can use the frozen food to decrease the temperature in the fridge compartment and save energy.

Different foods should be placed in different areas according to their properties:

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 indicates that the products might have been partially defrosted and refrozen at some point, which may affect the quality of food.

Power interruption

In the event of a power cut, food should remain safely cold for about 16 hours. Follow these tips during a prolonged power interruption, especially in summer:

▶ Open the door/drawer as few times as possible.

▶ Do not put additional food into the appliance during a power interruption.

▶ If prior notice of a power interruption is given and the interruption duration is longer than 16 hours, make some ice and put it in a container in the top of the refrigerator compartment.

▶ An inspection of the goods is required immediately after the interruption.

▶ As temperature in the refrigerator will rise during a power interruption or other failure, the storage period and edible quality of food will be reduced. Any food that de-frosts should be either consumed, or cooked and refrozen (where suitable) soon afterwards in order to prevent health risks.
