What Not to Store in the Refrigerator

Citrus fruits.
Potatoes and root vegetables (store in dark, dry places).
- Air in the refrigerator circulates naturally so that colder,
heavier air tends to descend towards the bottom. This is
why meat and fish should be stored just above the crisper.
- Remember to follow our instructions on the storage life
of different foods: If not stored correctly, even the freshest
food will deteriorate quite quickly.
- Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not keep longer
than fresh food.
- Remember to cool hot food before storing, otherwise the
temperature inside the appliance will increase, causing the
compressor to work harder and use more energy.
- Do not store liquids in unsealed containers since this will
increase the humidity and lead to the formation of frost
in the refrigerator.
ATTENTION
After transport stand the appliance upright and wait
at least 3 hours before plugging the appliance into the
mains to ensure proper performance.
Use these average temperature settings to ensure op-
timum performance and to save energy. Before storing food in your refrigerator, wipe the interior with
a solution of warm water and bicarbonate of soda.
After having plugged the appliance into the socket, make
sure that the refrigerator light has turned on. Then turn the
thermostat knob “A” to setting “3”.
After a couple of hours, you can place fresh food in the
refrigerator.
