Correct storage
For physical reasons, there are dif- ferent temperature regions in the fridge. The coldest region is on the lowest storage shelf. Warmer regions are the top storage shelf, the vegetable drawer and the stor- age compartments on the door. The arrangement example shows at which places in the refrigerator suitable temperatures for various types of foods exist.
Tip: Food in the fridge should always be covered or packaged, to prevent drying and tainting of other food.
The following are suited for packaging:
–Polyethylene airtight bags and wraps;
–Plastic containers with lids;
–Special plastic covers with elastic;
–aluminium foil.

•Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time (max. 2 kg per 24 hrs). The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.
•Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
•Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufac- turer.
•Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
