Tips & Tricks
Storing food
Freezer compartment
The freezer compartment is designated for the low-temperature
freezing of food, long-term storage of frozen food, and for the
production of ice cubes.
Do not put fresh and frozen food next to each other. The frozen food
may thaw.
When freezing large amounts of fresh food (such as meat, fish or
chopped meat), please divide them into several small pieces before
putting in, so that they can be quickly frozen and pick up easily.
Abide by the storage times recommended by food manufacturers on
the packages, there is no information on the packaging, food should
not be stored frozen for longer than three months from the date of
purchase.
When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it was frozen at a
suitable temperature and that the packaging is not damaged.
Frozen food should be kept in suitable individual packages to ensure
that adjacent food cannot be contaminated. Consume thawed and
defrosted foods immediately, do not refreeze them.
In case of prolonged power failure or malfunction of the appliance,
remove the stored frozen food and check whether they are still edible,
then store them in a suciently cool place or in another appliance.
To defrost food, remove it from the freezer and let it defrost at room
temperature or in the refrigerator. To defrost food quickly, you can use
the defrost function on your microwave, for example.
If you only want to defrost part of a pack, remove the portion you
need and immediately close the rest of the pack. In this way, you will
avoid “freezer burn” and will reduce ice formation on the remaining
foods.
Refrigerator compartment
The Refrigerator compartment is the ideal storage location for ready
meals, cakes and pastries, preserved food, condensed milk, milk,
cheese, spreads, sauces, dips and eggs.
The freshness at point of purchase is important for the shelf-life of your
food. In principle, the fresher the produce when placed in the crisper
drawers, the longer it stays fresh. Therefore, when buying food, always
pay attention to the degree of freshness.
Never put warm foods in the fridge compartment. These should first
cool down at room temperature and then be placed so as to ensure
adequate air circulation in the fridge compartment.
Meat and clean fish (packed in a package or plastic foil) can be placed
in the fridge compartment, which can be used in 1–2 days.
Fruit and vegetables without packaging can be placed in the part
designated for fresh fruit and vegetables
.
• | Notes:
Storage of too much food during operation after the initial connection to
power may adversely affect the freezing effect of the refrigerator.
Storage times and temperature
Note: Overlong storage or storage at inappropriate freezing
temperature may cause a quality loss or spoiled foods, which causes
food waste, is inedible and may cause food poisoning. The minimum
temperature in most cases should be -18°C or colder. Follow the
maximum recommended storage times below:
Stew, ice cream, sausages, bread: 2-6 months.
Fish, shrimp, lamb, meat: 4-8 months.
Vegetables, fruits, poultry, beef: 6-12 months.
Tips for energy saving
Do not place the appliance near cookers, radiators or other heat sources.
If the ambient temperature is high, the compressor will run more frequently
and for longer, resulting in increased energy consumption.
Ensure that there is sucient ventilation at the base of the appliance, on
the sides of the appliance and at the back of the appliance.
Please also observe the spacing dimensions in the chapter “Installation”.
An evenly filled refrigerator/freezer compartment contributes to optimal
energy use.
Allow warm food to cool before placing it in the refrigerator/freezer
compartment. Food that has already cooled down increases energy
eciency.
Allow frozen food to defrost in the refrigeration compartment The coldness
of the frozen food reduces the energy consumption in the refrigerator
compartment and thus increases the energy eciency.
Setting the temperature no colder than necessary contributes to optimal
energy use.
The door gaskets of your appliance must be perfectly intact so that
the doors close properly and energy consumption is not increased
unnecessarily.
