Using the refrigerator
I
NOTE
The cooling capacity can be influenced by
• The ambient temperature
• The amount of food to be conserved
• The frequency with which the door is opened.
Conserving foodstuffs
You can conserve foodstuffs in the refrigerator compartment. The time for which the
food can be conserved in this way is usually stated on the package.
A
NOTICE!
Do not conserve warm food in the refrigerator compartment.
Do not place glass containers with liquid in the freezer compartment.
I
NOTE
Food which can easily absorb tastes and odours and liquids and
products with a high alcohol content should be conserved in air-tight
containers.
The refrigerator compartment is divided in different zones with different tempera-
tures:
• The colder zones are immediately over the drawers for fruit and vegetables near
the back wall.
• Observe the temperature information and best before date on the food
packaging.
➤ Observe the following when using the device:
– Do not re-freeze products which are defrosting or have been defrosted,
consume them as soon as possible.
– Wrap food in aluminium foil or cling film and shut in in a suitable box with a lid.
This ensures that aromas, the shape and the freshness are better conserved.

Humidity can form frost in the interior of the refrigerator or on the vaporiser. This
reduces the cooling capacity. Defrost the device in good time to avoid this.
A
NOTICE!
Never use hard or pointed tools to remove ice or to loosen objects
which have frozen in place.
