Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food
packages of various sizes,
the door shelves can be
placed at different heights.
Gradually pull the shelf in
the direction of the arrows
until it comes free, then re-
position as required.
Important! Do not move the big lower door shelf to
ensure correct air circulation.
Helpful hints and tips
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open lon-
ger than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the Tempera-
ture Regulator is set to low temperature and the ap-
pliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run con-
tinuously, causing frost or ice on the evaporator. If
this happens, set the Temperature Regulator toward
warmer settings to allow automatic defrosting and
so a saving in electricity consumption.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the
refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a
strong flavour
• position food so that air can circulate freely around it
Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags and place on
the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the
most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc.: these should be cov-
ered and may be placed on any shelf.
Fruits and vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s) provided.
When in contact, lemon juice can discolor the plastic
parts of your fridge. It is therefore recommended to
keep citruses in separate containers.
Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special
airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or poly-
thene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored
in the bottle rack on the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed,
must not be kept in the refrigerator.
Hints for temperature inside the fridge
A suitable temperature inside the fridge is approx. +5°
C. It is normal with higher temperature in the top of the
fridge and lower temperature in the lower part. If the
temperature regulator is set to a too cold temperature,
the ambient temperature is high or if the fridge is fully
loaded the compressor will run for a longer time. This
results in colder temperature in the lower part of the
fridge due to the cold air that falls down. It may result in
that food with high water content start to freeze. If too
cold, change to a higher temperature setting.
Do not place any shelves towards the water drain hole.
This can result in too cold temperatures.
If you want to check the temperature of food stored in
the refrigerator, place a glass of water centrally in the
cabinet, and put a proper thermometer with an accura-
cy of +/– 1 °C into it. After 6 hours the temperature can
be monitored. The measuring shall be performed under
steady-stated conditions (without changing the load).
