Fresh food refrigeration To obtain the best performance: do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour. Position food so that air can circulate freely round it. Useful hints: Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most. Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc. . : these should be covered and may be placed on any shelf. Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s) provided. Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible. Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door. Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator. Important When the thermostat is on the coldest setting and the room temperature is particularly high, the appliance may run uninterruptedly with consequent frost formation on the back wall of the refrigerator compartment. In such a case it is necessary to set the thermostat to a warmer setting so as to enable automatic defrosting to take place and consequently save electricity consumption. 55 Movable wire shelves ZFK 22/9 R The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired. 6 D351 ZFK 22/9 LR The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired. [. . . ] Another point to remember is that lean food keeps better and longer than fatty food. Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen. Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer. Important If there is a power failure when food is in the freezer, do not open the door of the freezer compartment. The frozen food will not be affected if the power cut is of short duration (up to 6-8 hours) and the freezer compartment is full, otherwise, it is recommended that the food should be used within a short time (a temperature increase of the frozen food shortens its safe storage period). Thawing Before being used, deep-frozen and frozen food can be thawed out either in the refrigerator compartment or at room temperature, depending on the time available for this operation. [. . . ]
