Using the refrigerator compartment
Arranging food
Arrange food on the various shelves, making
sure that they are wrapped and covered
hermetically. This precaution ensures that:
• the flavour, moisture and freshness of the
foods is preserved;
• any contamination of foods with odours or
tastes from other foods can be avoided;
• the humidity level inside the refrigerator is
prevented from becoming too high as a
result of the normal transpiration of food
(especially fresh fruit and vegetables). In
some operating conditions (rise in ambient
temperature and humidity, more frequent
opening of the door) this might cause
condensation to form on the shelves.
Storage life table
Using the freezer compartment
To keep and freeze foods properly:
• pack fruit and vegetables in portions of no
more than 1 kg; meat and fish in portions of
up to 2 kg.
• small packages freeze quickly which means
that the foods' nutritional properties are
preserved better, including after defrosting/
preparation.
• package foods in hermetically sealed
packages, expelling air as much as
possible.
• Do not use paper bags or shopping bags,
use the suitable freezer bags/containers.
Frozen foods storage life table
Defrosted foods
Food must be consumed as soon as possible
once defrosted. Freezing foods preserves them,
but it does not destroy any micro-organisms,
which are activated after thawing, damaging
the foods.
Partial defrosting lowers the nutritional value of
the foodstuffs, particularly of fruit, vegetables
and ready meals.
Noises during operation
The refrigerator and freezer compartments are
cooled by means of a compression system. In
order to maintain the preset temperature inside
the refrigerator and freezer compartments, the
compressor comes into operation in response to
the level of cooling required, and may operate
continuously if necessary. When the compressor
starts up a humming sound will be heard,
tending to drop in volume after a few minutes.
Another normal operating noise of the
appliance is a gurgling due to the coolant
flowing through the pipes in the circuit. This noise
is normal and does not indicate an appliance
malfunction. If it becomes too loud, this may
mean that there are other causes. Checks must
then be made to ensure that:
• The refrigerator is properly levelled on the
floor and does not vibrate when the
compressor is in operation: if this is not the
case, adjust the appliance's feet until it is
level;
• The drawers, shelves and trays on the door
are correctly positioned in their holders: if
they are not, put them in correctly;
• Bottles and containers on the various shelves
are stable and not touching each other:
otherwise, the vibration resulting from
compressor operation could generate
Always allow hot foods and drinks to
cool to room temperature before putting
them in the appliance.
