Storing and freezing food The temperatures inside the refrigerator cabinet and freezer compartment depend mainly on the ambient temperature, the temperature control setting and the amount of food stored. It should also be noted that the interior temperature may increase every time the door is opened. Main cabinet Different areas of the refrigerator cabinet are affected differently by the cooling effect. The warmest area is around the door in the higher part of the cabinet, the coldest around the rear wall and in the lower part of the cabinet. The food should therefore be stored as follows: On main cabinet shelves (from top to bottom): bakery items, ready meals, dairy products, meat, fish and cold meats/ sausages. In the door (from top to bottom): butter, cheese, eggs, tubes (eg mustard), small bottles, large bottles, milk and fruit-juice tetra-packs. Liquid or strong-smelling food, or food which is likely to absorb strong odours (e. Cheese, fish, butter), should be stored separately or in hermetically sealed containers. Warm food should be left to cool down to room temperature before being placed in the refrigerator. Always ensure that the door is properly closed and that the seal is not obstructed by food stored inside the cabinet or door. freezer compartment: The freezer compartment is designed for deep-freezing and Long-term storage of frozen food, and for making ice cubes. To ensure that nutritious elements such as vitamins are Not lost, fresh food should be deep-frozen right through as quickly as possible. For this reason, prepared food should be put in the quick-freeze compartment, spaced out in one or two rows. The quick-freeze area inside the freezer compartment is marked Fast Freeze, where we recommend you first put the food to be frozen for quick-freezing, before moving it to other compartments (as appropriate) after 24 hours.  To ensure sufficient distribution of cold air, keep a minimum distance of 3 cm between the vapouriser assembly and the tray containing the food to be frozen. Do not allow unfrozen food to come into contact with food that is already frozen. The product data sheet at the end of this manual contains details of the maximum daily freezing capacity. After 24 hours, once the food is well frozen, the temperature control can be set back to its original position. The time required to freeze food may be shortened by dividing it into smaller portions.
