Using the freezer to its full potential
Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has
already been defrosted. These foods must be
cooked and eaten (within 24 hours).
Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come
into contact with food that has already been
defrosted.
Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids,
and which are corked or hermetically sealed in the
freezer because they could break.
The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen
daily is indicated on the plate containing the
technical properties located on the bottom left side
of the refrigerator compartment (for example: Kg/
24h: 4)
! Do not open the door during freezing.
! If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open
the freezer door. This will help maintain the
temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are
conserved for at least 9 -14 hours.
! If the room temperature drops below 14°C for an
extended period of time, the ideal temperature will not
be reached in the freezer compartment and food
preservation will be reduced.
Food hygiene
1. Once you have bought your food, remove all
external packaging made of paper/cardboard or
other wrappers, which could introduce bacteria or
dirt inside your refrigerator.
2. Protect the food, (especially easily perishable
items and those that have a strong smell), in order
to avoid contact between them, thereby removing
both the possibility of germ/bacteria contamination
as well as the diffusion of strong odours inside the
fridge.
3. Store all food in such a way as to ensure air can
circulate freely between different items.
4. Keep the inside of your fridge clean, taking care
not to use oxidiser or abrasive products.
5. Remove all food past its expiry date from the
refrigerator.
6. For the correct preservation of food, all easily
perishable items (soft cheeses, raw fish, meat, etc.)
should be stored in the coldest zone of the fridge
compartment, i.e. just above the salad crisper
where the temperature indicator is situated.
