• To limit the defrosting process buy frozen
goods at the end of your grocery shopping
and transport them in a thermal and
insulated cool bag.
• Place the frozen foods immediately in the

6.6 Hints for fresh food refrigeration
• Good temperature setting that ensures
preservation of fresh food is a temperature
less than or equal to +4°C.
Higher temperature setting inside the
appliance may lead to shorter shelf life of
food.
• Cover the food with packaging to preserve
its freshness and aroma.
• Always use closed containers for liquids
and for food, to avoid flavours or odours in
the compartment.
• If food has defrosted even partially, do not
re-freeze it. Consume it as soon as
possible.
• Respect the expiry date and the storage
information on the package.
• To avoid the cross-contamination between
cooked and raw food, cover the cooked
food and separate it from the raw one.
• It is recommended to defrost the food
inside the fridge.
• Do not insert hot food inside the
appliance. Make sure it has cooled down
at room temperature before inserting it.
• To prevent food waste the new stock of
food should always be placed behind the
old one.
