Fig. 12 40 Instructions for the user 6. ARRANGING AND STORING FOODS IN THE FRIDGE CELL Arrange the foods on the various shelves/compartments, taking care to pack and cover them in such a way that they are hermetically sealed. This precaution ensures that: - the flavour, moisture and freshness of the foods can be preserved; - any contamination of foods with odours or tastes from other foods can be avoided. - excessive accumulation of moisture in the compartment can be avoided, due to normal transpiration of foods (in particular fresh fruit and vegetables), which in certain operating conditions (increase in ambient temperature and humidity, increased frequency of door opening) could lead to the formation of condensation on the shelves. Only use containers suitable for keeping food. Always allow hot foods and drinks to cool at room temperature before putting them in the compartment. Do not keep explosive substances in the appliance and only keep drinks with a high alcohol content in it if they are properly closed and kept vertical. You must always strictly observe the expiry date for food indicated by the manufacturer on the product packaging. 7.
