Note:
Thermostat levels 6 or 7 are suitable when the room temperature is below 16 °C, but frost may
appear if the refrigerator continues to run on one of these settings for a long time at normal
ambient temperature, which is normal. In that case, it is recommended to set the thermostat
knob accordingly.
Note: Temperatures may vary from the set temperatures due to compressor cycling and
outdoor conditions.
Fast freezing
1. Fast freezing causes the water in food to turn into fine ice crystals to prevent cell-
membrane damage and cytoplasm loss upon thawing, thus preserving the original
freshness and nutrition of the food.
2. Fresh food and fish to be stored for a long time should be frozen quickly. For fast freezing,
set the thermostat knob to 7 before storing food.
After fast freezing, turn the thermostat knob back to its original setting (fast-freezing
3.
time should generally not exceed 4 hours, although time may vary depending on a variety
of factors).
5. INSTRUCTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE
Use precautions
- The appliance may not operate consistently (there may be some defrosting of the contents
or the temperature may become too hot in the freezer compartment) if placed in locations
with a temperature outside of the temperature range for which the refrigerator is designed
for a long period of time.
- Information on the climatic class of the appliance can be found in the Technical
Specifications section and on the appliance marking.
The internal temperature may be affected by factors such as the location of the appliance,
-
room temperature, door opening frequency, etc., and you should take these factors into
account if you decide to use any temperature-control devices.
- Effervescent or carbonated drinks should not be stored in the freezer or the refrigerator.
It is not recommended to store liquids in glass containers or soft drink cans in the freezer
compartment.
Food location
Due to the circulation of cold air in the refrigerator, the temperature in each zone is
-
different, so food must be placed in different zones.
- The refrigerator compartment is suitable to store food that does not need to be frozen,
cooked food, beer, eggs, some seasonings that need to be kept cold, milk, fruit juice, etc.

The crisper drawer is the best place to store fruit and vegetables.
- The freezer compartment is suitable to store ice cream, frozen foods, and foods that need
to be kept for a long time.
Shelves
To remove the shelves, first lift them up and then pull them out; to put them back, put them into
their position before lowering them. (For the two-section shelf, push the first section towards
the rear end and pull the second section out). Keep the rear edge of the shelf facing upwards to
prevent food from coming into contact with the wall. When removing and fitting shelves, hold
them firmly and handle them carefully to avoid damage.
Crisper drawer
Pull out the crisper drawer to access the food. After using or cleaning the bottom shelf of the
refrigerator (the drawer cover), put it back in place so that the internal temperature of the
drawer is not affected.
Tipps for buying frozen food
- When buying frozen food, pay attention to the storage instructions on the package. You
may store each frozen food for the period indicated in the star rating. This is usually the
period indicated as "best before" on the front of the package.
- Make sure that the packaging of frozen food is in perfect condition.
- Do not buy frozen foods unless you can freeze them immediately. Special insulated bags
are available in most supermarkets and department stores. In them, frozen food is kept
cold for a longer period of time.
- Some foods do not require defrosting before cooking. Vegetables and pasta can be added
directly to boiling water or steamed. Frozen sauces and soups can be placed in a pan and
heated gently until thawed.
Use quality foods and alter them as little as possible. When food is frozen in small
-
quantities, it takes less time to freeze and thaw.
- Calculate the amount of food to be frozen. When freezing large quantities of fresh food, set
the temperature knob to a lower freezing temperature. This way food can be frozen quickly
maintaining its freshness.
Care for food storage
- Clean and dry food completely before storing it in the refrigerator. Before introducing food
in the refrigerator, it is advisable to seal it to prevent water evaporation and thus keep fruit
and vegetables fresh on the one hand, and to prevent odours on the other.
- Do not put too much or too heavy food in the refrigerator. Leave enough space between
the food; if they are too close together, they will block the flow of cold air, which will affect
the cooling effect. Do not store too much or too heavy food to prevent the shelves from
bending. When storing food, leave a distance from the interior wall; do not place water-
