STORAGE TIPS
• Correct use of the appliance, appropriate packaging, maintaining the right temperature, and
observing the food hygiene standards have a decisive impact on the quality of food storage.
• Observe the expiry dates for the food, indicated on the packaging.
• Food stored in the refrigerator should be kept in closed containers or in appropriate packaging to
prevent it from emitting or receiving odors and humidity.
• Do not store inflammable, volatile, and explosive substances in the refrigerator.
• Bottles with high alcohol content should be tightly sealed and stored in an upright position.
• Some organic solutions, essential oils in lemon and orange peel, butter acid, etc. may damage
the plastic surfaces in case of a prolonged contact, causing damage and premature ageing of
these materials.
• Unpleasant odor warns of lacking cleanliness of the appliance or perished contents (see chapter
Cleaning the Appliance).
• If you are leaving home for a longer period of time, remove perishables from the refrigerator.
Avoid Food Contamination
• To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions:
• Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the
compartments of the appliance.
• Regularly clean surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems.
• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or
drip onto other food.
• If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and
leave the door open to prevent mold developing within the appliance.
Freezing
• To make use of the entire freezer volume, remove all drawers. To make sure the food is frozen
as soon as possible, place it directly onto the bottom of the freezer compartment.
• Activate the super freeze function 24 hours before freezing fresh food:
o Press and hold the B key until the light above the D symbol lights up. Make sure the fresh
food is not in contact with the food that is already frozen.
• When freezing smaller amounts of food (2-4 pounds), activating the super freeze function is not
required.
• Only use the freezer to freeze food appropriate for freezing. Always use quality and fresh food.
• Select the most suitable packaging for the food and use the packaging correctly.
• Make sure the packaging is air and water tight so that the food does not dry out and loose its
vitamins.
• Indicate the type of food, amount, and date of freezing on the packaging.
• It is important that the food freezes quickly. Therefore, smaller packages are recommended.
Refrigerate the food before freezing.
Thawing Frozen Food
• Defrost foods either in the refrigerator, in cold water, or in a microwave oven or a convection
oven with a suitable defrosting program
• Some frozen products can be cooked without prior defrosting. This will be specified by the
manufacturer on the packaging.
• Pack the food in small amounts. This will allow the food to defrost quicker.
• Use partly or completely defrosted food as soon as possible. Bacteria in defrosted food is
reactivated and the food will spoil fast. This applies particularly to fruit, vegetables, and ready-
made food.
• Do not re-freeze food that has been partly or completely defrosted.
