[. . . ] Once you have bought your food, remove all external packaging made of paper/cardboard or other wrappers, which could introduce bacteria or dirt inside your refrigerator. Protect the food, (especially easily perishable items and those that have a strong smell), in order to avoid contact between them, thereby removing both the possibility of germ/bacteria contamination as well as the diffusion of strong odours inside the fridge. Store all food in such a way as to ensure air can circulate freely between different items. Keep the inside of your fridge clean, taking care not to use oxidiser or abrasive products. Remove all food past its expiry date from the refrigerator. For the correct preservation of food, all easily perishable items (soft cheeses, raw fish, meat, etc. ) should be stored in the coldest zone of the fridge compartment, i. Just above the salad crisper where the temperature indicator is situated. 15 GB Using the freezer to its full potential • Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten (within 24 hours). • Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact with food that has already been defrosted. Fresh food must be stored in the top FREEZER and STORAGE compartment where the temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees rapid freezing. WARNING: to avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer compartment, it is advisable not to obstruct the ventilation holes with food or containers. • Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they could break. • The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is indicated on the plate containing the technical properties located on the bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment (for example: Kg/24h: 4) !If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours. To avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer, it is advisable not to obstruct the ventilation holes with food or containers. 16 Maintenance and care Switching the appliance off During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply: It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs on OFF (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact.
