In this condition, the
refrigerator compartment
temperature might drop
below 0°C. If this occurs
reset the temperature
regulator to a warmer
setting.
4.5 Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period
out of use, before putting the products
in the compartment let the appliance run
at least 2 hours on the higher settings.
WARNING!
In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due
to a power failure, if the
power has been off for
longer than the value shown
in the technical
characteristics chart under
"rising time", the defrosted
food must be consumed
quickly or cooked
immediately and then re-
frozen (after cooling).
4.6 Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to
being used, can be thawed in the
refrigerator compartment or at room
temperature, depending on the time
available for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still
frozen, directly from the freezer: in this
case, cooking will take longer.
4.7 LongFresh Compartment
The storage temperature and the relative
humidity (between 45 and 90 %) provide
optimal conditions for the storage of
various kinds of food.
To learn about the temperature settings
in the LongFresh compartment please
refer to the "LongFresh compartment
setting" section
LongFresh compartment is suitable for
the storage of a variety of fresh food as it
preserves its high nutritional values as
well as high humidity level much longer
in comparison to the regular refrigerator.
The LongFresh compartment is also
suitable for defrosting food.
The thawed food can be stored up to
two days.
4.8 Humidity control
The compartment has stops that prevent
the drawers from falling out when fully
extended. To remove the drawer:
1. Pull the drawer to the maximum.
2. Lift and pull out the drawer.
The drawers marked with water drop
symbols:
and
according to the desired storage
conditions independently of each other
with lower or higher humidity.
Regulation for each drawer is separate
and is controlled using the slide valve at
the front of the drawer.
• "Dry": low air humidity - up to 50 %
relative humidity
This humidity level is reached when
both sliders are set into this position
and the ventilation openings are
wide open.
• Humid": high relative humidity - up to
90%
This humidity level is reached when
both sliders are set in this position
and the ventilation openings are
closed. Humidity is kept and can not
escape.
