It is proper for keeping dairy products, cold cuts, sausage and meat. If necessary, remove the fresh control compartment for cleaning. DRAWER (depending on the model) The drawer has four containers which can be used to store small food items. For ease of use and optimum food storage, you can move the drawer to the right or left. Furthermore, you can easily remove the drawer if necessary. Note: close the drawer lids to prevent food from drying out and odours from mixing. BOTTLE RACK (depending on the model) Designed to hold bottles in the horizontal position. The shelf beneath the bottle rack can be easily fitted by simply moving the rack to the right or left. The bottle rack is easy to remove: simply pull the glass shelf outwards, slide the bottle rack to the right or left and remove it. The bottle rack can be fitted on any glass shelf. Use plastic containers with tight fitting lids, aluminium trays, aluminium foil, cling film and waterproof plastic wrappings. Important: • When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and transport the products in a thermally insulated cool bag. • Place the items in the freezer compartment as soon as you get home. • Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum. • Respect the best-before date on the package. • Always observe the storage information on the package. SEALING When sealing food in bags, squeeze out the air first. Place labels on the inside of clear freezer bags; use self-adhesive labels on the outside of opaque ones. Fasten the top of the bag with a string. DEFROSTING Here are some helpful tips. Raw vegetables: do not thaw, put straight into boiling water and cook as usual. Meat (large cuts): thaw in the refrigerator compartment without unwrapping. Before cooking, leave at room temperature for a couple of hours. [. . . ] The more often the door is opened, the faster humidity builds up, especially when the room itself is very humid. • If the room is very humid, it is normal for moisture to build up inside the refrigerator. • It is normal for droplets of water to form on the back wall after the refrigerator self-defrosts. If the doors do not open and close properly • Check that food packages are not blocking the door. [. . . ]
