It is very important to set the correct temperature for storing food in the appliance. Micro-organisms will cause food which is not stored at the correct temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influences the growth rate of these micro-organisms. Reducing the temperature reduces their growth rate. The temperature in the appliance will rise:[...]

Setting the temperature The temperatures in the refrigerator and freezer sections are set independently of one another. ^ Select the refrigerator or the freezer section. The "Refrigerator" symbol or the "Freezer" symbol will light up yellow. ^ You can now use the arrow sensors on either side of the temperature display to set the[...]

Food which should not be stored in a refrigerator Not all food is suitable for refrigeration, as some food is sensitive to cold. Cucumbers, for example, become glassy, aubergines bitter and potatoes sweet. Tomatoes and oranges lose their aroma, and the peel on citrus fruit hardens. Food which should not be stored in a refrigerator includes: – pin[...]

– Examples of fruit and vegetables which react strongly to the natural gases given off by other types of fruit and vegetables are: Kiwis, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, mangos, honeydew melons, apples, apricots, cucumbers, tomatoes, pears, nectarines and peaches. Example : Broccoli should not be stored with apples, as apples produce a l[...]

Moving the shelves The shelves in the refrigerator section can be adjusted according to the height of the food. ^ Raise the shelf, and pull it forwards slightly until the notch at the side is in line with the shelf support.

This also helps to prevent food that is already in the freezer from startin[...]

Defrosting Frozen food can be defrosted in different ways: – in a microwave oven, – in an oven using the "Fan" or "Defrost" setting, – at room temperature, – in the refrigerator (the cold given off by the frozen food helps to keep the other food cold), – in a steam oven. Poultry It is particularly important to observe [...]

Freezer tray The freezer tray is useful for freezing small items such as berries, herbs and vegetables. They can be frozen individually and therefore maintain their shape when defrosted. ^ Space the food out loosely on the tray. ^ Hang the tray in the top or middle freezer drawer. Leave the food for 10-12 hours to freeze thoroughly on the tray. Tra[...]

Refrigerator section The refrigerator defrosts automatically. Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the refrigerator section whilst it is in use.
