4.2 Hints for fresh food
refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporat-
ing liquids in the refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly
if it has a strong flavour
• position food so that air can circulate
freely around it
4.3 Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags
and place on the glass shelf above the
vegetable drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or
two days at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these
should be covered and may be placed
on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be
thoroughly cleaned and placed in the
special drawer(s) provided.
Butter and cheese: these should be
placed in special airtight containers or
wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene
bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap
and should be stored in the bottle rack
on the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if
not packed, must not be kept in the re-
frigerator.
4.4 Hints for temperature
inside the fridge
• A suitable temperature inside the
fridge is approx. +5° C. When the
temperature regulator is set to +5°C
this represents the mean temperature
in the fridge. It is normal with higher
temperature in the top of the fridge.
If the temperature regulator is set to a
cold temperature, the ambient tempera-
ture is high or if the fridge is fully loaded
the compressor will run for a longer
time. If too cold, change to a higher
temperature setting.
Do not place food against or
close to the temperature sensor
(A) or any shelves towards the
water drain hole. This can result
in too cold temperatures.
A
• If you want to check the temperature
of food stored in the refrigerator,
place a glass of water centrally in the
cabinet, and put a proper thermome-
ter with an accuracy of +/– 1 °C into it.
After 6 hours the temperature can be
monitored. The measuring shall be
performed under steady-stated condi-
tions (without changing the load).
