Tips for keeping food perfect

• Take extra care with meat and fish: cooked meats should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats on a  plate which is large enough to collect juices and cover it with cling film or foil.
• Leave space around food: this allows cold air to circulate around the Fridge, ensuring all parts of the Fridge are kept cool.
• Wrap up food!: to prevent transfer of flavors and drying out, food should be separately packed or covered. Fruit and vegetables need not be wrapped.
• Pre-cooked food should be cooled properly: allow pre-cooked food to cool down before placing in the Fridge. This will help to stop the internal temperature of the Fridge from rising.
• Shut the door!: to prevent cold air escaping, try to limit the number of times you open the door. When retuning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in  your Fridge before opening the door. Only open the door to put food in or take it out.

Food storage
Position different food in different compartments according to be below table

• It’s suggested to set the temperature at 4°C in the fridge compartment, and, whether possible, at -18°C in the freezer compartment.
• For most food categories, the longest storage time in the fridge compartment is achieved with colder temperatures. Since some particular products (as  fresh fruits and vegetables) may be damaged with colder temperatures, it is suggested to keep them in the crisper drawers, whenever present. If not present,  maintain an average setting of the thermostat.
• For frozen food, refer to the storage time written on the food packaging. This storage time is achieved whenever the setting respects the reference  temperatures of the compartment (one-star -6°C, two stars -12°C, three stars -18°C)

DOOR REVERSIBILITY
