FRIDGE COMPARTMENT
The refrigerator compartment is the ideal storage
location for ready meals, cakes and pastries,
preserved food, condensed milk, hard cheese, fruit
and vegetables sensitive to cold as well as tropical
fruit.
The natural circulation of air in the refrigerator
compartment results in zones with different
temperatures. It is coldest directly above the
vegetable drawers and at the rear wall. It is
warmest at the top front of the compartment.
NOTE: Insufficient ventilation results in an increase
in energy consumption and reduction of the
refrigerating performance.
Advice for storing fresh food
• Use recyclable plastic, metal, aluminum and glass
containers and cling film to wrap foods.
• Always use closed containers for liquids and for
food that may give off or be tainted by odor or
flavor transfer or cover them.
• Foods which give off a large amount ethylene
gas and those that are sensitive to this gas, such
as fruit, vegetables and salad, should always be
separated or wrapped so as not to reduce the
storage life; for example do not store tomatoes
together with kiwi fruits or cabbage.
• Do not store food too close together to enable
sufficient air circulation.
• To ensure bottles do not tip over: move the
bottle holder.
Is recommended to arrange the food as
follows:
• On the fridge shelves: baked products, ready
meals, fruit and vegetables sensitive to cold,
small packages.
• In the cooler compartment: dairy products,
meat and sausage.
• In the fruits and vegetables crisper: vegetables,
salad, fruit.
• In the door (from top to bottom): butter,
cheese, eggs, tubes, small bottles, milk, juice
cartons.

Advice for storing frozen food
When purchasing frozen food products:
• Ensure that the packaging is not damaged
(frozen food in damaged packaging may have
deteriorated). If the package is swollen or has
damp patches, it may not have been stored
under optimal conditions and defrosting may
have already begun.
• When shopping, leave frozen food purchases
until last and transport the products in a
thermally insulated cool bag.
