- The air circulates naturally, with the colder air falling be-
cause it is heavier. This is the reason why meat and cheeses
should be placed above the vegetable crisper.
- Please follow our instructions carefully on maximum stor-
age time: any food, even the freshest, will not remain edible
for any extended amount of time.
- Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not store
any longer than raw food.
- Do not place liquids in containers without covering them
because this will lead to an increase in the level of moisture
within the refrigerator, causing the formation of frost.
- Be careful not to place containers (plastic or glass), food
or other objects in direct contact with the cooling area of
the back wall of the refrigerator. This could harm the food,
increase energy consumption and facilitate the formation
of condensate (on food, containers, etc.).
- The refrigerator compartment is equipped with conven-
ient, removable shelves (Fig. 1) which can be adjusted for
height using the shelf guides. This allows you to place
even large containers and foodstuffs in the refrigerator.

- For the preparation of food to be frozen,
please consult a specialized manual.
- Food that has thawed, even partially, must not be re-
frozen: you must cook it in order to consume it (within 24
hours) or to freeze it once again.
- Fresh foods that you intend to freeze must not be placed
in contact with those that are already frozen or those that
have been fast-frozen. Place the food you wish to freeze
in the top compartment where the temperature will fall
below -18°C, which is ideal for freezing food properly.
Please keep in mind that proper conservation of frozen
foods depends on the speed with which they are frozen.
- During the freezing process, avoid opening the door of
the freezer.
- The maximum daily quantity of food that can be frozen is
indicated on the rating plate located to the left of the veg-
etable crisper.
- In order to freeze and then thaw foods optimally, it is
recommended that you divide food into small portions so
that they freeze quickly and uniformly. The packages
should be clearly marked with the content and the date
they were frozen.
- Do not open the freezer door in the event of a power
failure or malfunction. This precaution will slow the rise in
temperature within the compartment. If the door is not
opened, frozen and fast-frozen foods will remain in their
current state for approximately 9-14 hours.
- Do not place full bottles in the freezer: they could easily
burst because all liquids increase in volume when they
freeze.
- Fill the ice cube trays about 3/4 full.
- If the room temperature remains below 14°C for an ex-
tended period of time, the temperature needed for extended
storage of food in the freezer will not be reached, resulting
in reduced storage life of the food.
