This is why meat and fish should be stored just above the crisper. - Remember to follow our instructions on the storage life of different foods: If not stored correctly, even the freshest food will deteriorate quite quickly. - Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not keep longer than fresh food. - Remember to cool hot food before storing, otherwise the temperature inside the appliance will increase, causing the compressor to work harder and use more energy. - Do not store liquids in unsealed containers since this will increase the humidity and lead to the formation of frost in the refrigerator. - The refrigerator compartment of your appliance is fitted with practical, removable shelves (Fig. 1) whose height can be adjusted to allow for storage of large containers. These shelves can also be tilted for storage of opened bottles. 1 2 Fig. 1 How to use the freezer compartment. . . Consult a specialized manual when packaging foods for freezing. - Remember that you should never re-freeze products you have allowed to thaw, even if only partially: cook the food, then either eat (within 24 hours) or re-freeze it. - When freezing fresh foods, remember that they should not touch other previously frozen or deep frozen foods. Place the food that you wish to freeze in the top compartment where the temperature will fall below -18°C, which is ideal for freezing food properly. Remember that proper conservation depends on the speed of freezing. Once the ice has formed, all you need to do is to knock the tray against a hard surface so that the ice cubes come away from their housing and come out of the same hole used to fill the tray with water. To make it easier for the ice cubes to come out, wet the outside of the tray. WARNING: every time you fill up the ice tray with water , make sure that the same is completely empty and that there are no traces of ice left inside it. The minimum time required for ice to form well is approximately 8 hours. /* 6 Guide to Using the Freezer Meat and Fish Food Beef Roast Lamb Pork Roast Veal Roast Veal/Pork Chops Wrapping Tinfoil Tinfoil Tinfoil Tinfoil Each piece wrapped in cling wrap and then in tinfoil (4 to 6 slices) Each piece wrapped in cling wrap and then in tinfoil (4 to 6 slices) In aluminium containers covered with cling wrap.
