Tips on storing fresh food
Storing into the refrigerator compartment
► Keep your fridge temperature below 5°C.
► Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the appliance.
► Foods stored in the refrigerator should be washed and dried before storing
► Food to be stored should be properly sealed to avoid odor or taste alterations.
► Do not store excessive quantities of food. Leave spaces between foods to allow cold air to flow around them, for better and more homogeneous cooling.
► Foods eaten daily should be stored at the front of the shelf.
► Leave a gap between foods and the inner walls, allowing air to flow. In a special way don’t store foods against the rear wall: foods could freeze against the rear wall. Avoid direct contact of food (especially oily or acidic food) with the inner liner, as oil/acid can erode the inner liner. Clean away oily/acid dirt whenever it is found.
► Defreeze frozen food in the fridge storage compartment. This way, you can use the frozen food to decrease the temperature in the compartment and save energy.

► The aging process of fruit and vegetables such as courgettes, melons, papaya, and banana. pineapple, etc. can be accelerated in the refrigerator. Therefore, it is not advisable to store them in the refrigerator. However, the ripening of strongly green fruits can be promoted for a certain period. Onions, garlic, ginger, and other root vegetables should also be stored at room temperature.
► Unpleasant odors inside the fridge are a sign that something has spilled and cleaning is required. See CARE AND CLEANING.
► Different foods should be placed in different areas according to their properties:
Notice
► Please keep the distance more than 10 mm between the food placed and the air duct or sensors to ensure the cooling effect.

1. Butter, cheese, etc.
2. Eggs. cans, canned food, spices. etc.
3. Drinks and bottled foods.
4. Pickled foods, canned food, etc.
5. Meat products, snack foods, pasta, canned food, milk, tofu, dairy, etc
6. Cooked meat, and sausages. etc.
7. Dry zone drawer: dry fruits. butter oils, chocolate
8. Humidity zone drawer: Fruit. vegetables, sal-ad. etc.

Storage into the freezer compartment

► Keep the freezer temperature at 18°C.
► 24 hours before freezing switch on the Power-freeze function: -for small quantities of food 4-6 hours are sufficient.
► Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the freezer compartment.
► Food cut into small portions will freeze faster and be easier to defrost and cook. The recommended weight for each portion is less than 2.5 kg
► It is better to pack food before putting it into the freezer. The outside of the packaging must be dry to avoid bags sticking together. Packaging materials should be odor-free. airtight, non-poisonous, and nontoxic.
► In order to avoid expiration of storage periods. please note the freezing date, time limit, and name of the food on the packaging according to the storage periods of different foods.
► WARNING!: Acid, alkali, and salt, etc. could erode the internal surface of the freezer. Do not place the food having these substances (e.g. sea fish) directly on the internal surface. Saltwater in the freezer should be cleaned up immediately.
► Do not exceed the food storage times recommended by the manufacturers. Only take the required amount of food out of the freezer.
► Consume defrosted food quickly. Defrosted food cannot be re-frozen unless it is first cooked, otherwise it may bless edible.
► Do not load excessive quantities of fresh food in the freezer compartment. Refer to the freezing capacity of the freezer — See TECHNICAL DATA or data at the type plate. ► Food can be stored in the freezer at a temperature of at least -18°C for 2 to 12 months. depending on its properties (e.g.. meat: 3-12 months, vegetables: 6-12 months)
► When freezing fresh food. avoid bringing it in contact with already frozen food. Risk of thawing!
When storing commercially frozen foods, please follow these guidelines:
► Always follow manufacturers’ guidelines for the length of time you should store food. Do not exceed these guidelines!
► Try to keep the length of time between purchase and storage as short as possible to preserve food quality.
► Buy frozen foods, which have been stored at a temperature of —18 °C or below.
► Avoid buying food that has ice or frost on the packaging — This indicates that the products might have been partially defrosted and refrozen at some point— temperature rises affect the quality of food.

Notice
► Please keep the distance more than 10 mm between the food placed and the air duct to ensure the cooling effect.

► Keep all packaging materials out of children’s reach and dispose of them in an environmentally friendly manner.
► Take the appliance out of the packaging.
► Remove all packaging materials.

Environmental conditions

The room temperature should always be between 10° C and 43° C. since it can influence the temperature inside the appliance and its energy consumption. Do not install the appliance near other heat-emitting appliances (ovens, refrigerators) without isolation.
Space requirement
Required space when the door is opened:
W1=1117 mm
W2=1403 mm
D1=580 mm
D2=1024 mm
