[. . . ] Before being packaged and leaving the manufacturer, the appliance was thoroughly checked with regard to safety and functionality. Before using the appliance, please carefully read these Operating Instructions Figures in this user manual are for illustra- The appliance is intended for household use only. The manufacturer reserves the right to introduce changes which do not affect the operation of the appliance. Some provisions in this user manual are unified for refrigerating products of different types (for a refrigerator, refrigerator-freezer or freezer) The Manufacturer shall not be held liable for damage arising from the failure to observe the instructions contained in this manual. [. . . ] Fresh Zone box The temperature in the Fresh Zone crisper does not exceed 3°C for the temperature setting in the fridge compartment of approx. For higher settings ­ the temperature in the Freshzone crisper may rise above 3°C. These are perfect conditions for storing meat, fish, and other food products that require special conditions. Lower temperature preserves food products flavour, aroma and nutritional values. Due to special guides, access to the Fresh Zone box is extremely simple and convenient. Storage of food in the fridge-freezer Observe the following recommendations to ensure the food remains fresh. The products should be placed on plates, in containers or packed in food wrap. If the food contacts the rear wall, it may cause frosting or wetting of the products. Do not put dishes with hot food into the fridge Products which absorb flavours easily such as butter, milk, white cheese and products with intense flavour, such as fish, smoked meat, hard cheese must be placed on shelves, packed in food wrap or in tightly sealed containers. The storage of vegetables containing significant quantities of water will cause the deposition of condensation on the vegetable containers, it does not impact on the proper functioning of the fridge. Excessive moisture shortens the shelf life of vegetables, especially the leafed vegetables. Washing removes the natural protection, therefore it is better to wash the vegetables directly before consumption. ** In order to increase the loading capacity of the freezer chamber and allow the stacking of products on the freezer evaporator wire shelves up to maximum height it is possible to remove drawers 1 and 2. We advise you not to place more of fresh food at a time to the freezer per day (see table witch technical specification). In order to maintain optimum quality of the frozen food, reorganise the food that is in the middle of the freezer, so that it does not touch the products that are not yet frozen. It is recommended that you move the already frozen products to one side and place the fresh products that are to be frozen on the opposite side, as close to the rear and side walls as possible. Bear in mind that the temperature in the fre- Ezer is affected by several factors, including the ambient temperature and the quantity of food products in the chamber, the frequency of opening the door, the amount of frost in the freezer, and the thermostat setting. If you cannot open the freezer door immediately after closing it, allow 1-2 minutes for the negative pressure to com- pensate, and try again to open the door. The storage time for frozen products depends on their quality before freezing when fresh, and on the storage temperature. The following storage periods are recommended when the temperature of -18°C or lower is maintained: Practically all the food products, except for vegetables consumed raw, such as lettuce can be frozen. Only food products of the highest quality, divided into small portions for single use, should be frozen. Products should be packed in materials that are odourless, resistant to air and moisture penetration, and not susceptible to fat.
