-Air in the refrigerator circulates naturally so that colder, heavier air tends to descend towards the bottom. 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.

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 conser- vation depends on the speed of freezing.

-Do not open the freezer door during freezing.

-Freeze only the quantities (in kg) shown on the data plate on the left of the crisper.

-For the best conservation and defrosting, remember to freeze small portions; this will ensure rapid and uniform freez- ing. Mark package with a description of the contents and the date it was frozen.

-In the case of power failure or breakdown, do not open the freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9-14 hours.

-Do not store full bottles in the freezer since they could explode when they freeze. (Remember that liquids increase in volume when frozen).

-Fill the ice trays so that they are no more than 3/4 full.

-If the room temperature remains below 14°C for an ex- tended period of time the freezer will not reach the tem- peratures required for storage, and storage life will be shorter. In this case, frozen foodstuffs should be used within a rela- tively short period of time.

Ice trays

This new concept of ice trays is an exclusive Merloni patent. The fact that they are situated on the inner door of the freezer compartment ensures greater ergonomics and cleanliness: the ice no longer comes into contact with the food placed inside the freezer compartment; furthermore, the dripping of the water during filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the hole after filling with water is also provided).

Instructions for use (Fig. 2)

Fill up the tray with water via the special hole up to the level indicated (MAX WATER LEVEL), taking care not to exceed it: inserting more water than is necessary will lead to the formation of ice which could obstruct the exit of the ice cubes.

If you have used an excessive amount of water, you will have to wait until the ice has melted, empty out the tray and re-fill it with water.
