Interior Accessories

Storage Shelves

The glass shelf above the fruit and vegetable compartment should always remain in position, to ensure fruit and vegetables stay fresh lon- ger.

The remaining storage shelves can be adjusted to various heights:

Pull the storage shelf forward until it

can be tipped up or down and remo- D338 ved.

To insert at a different height use the same procedure in reverse. Adjustment for tall goods:

Remove the front half of the two-part vario glass storage shelf and insert it at a different level. Space is thus gained for storage of tall goods on the underlying storage shelf.

Variable Inner Door

The door compartments can be pulled up and removed, and inserted at other positions as needed.

Fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance:

•do not store warm food or evaporating liquide in the refrigeator

•do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.

•Position food so that air can circuiate freely round it.

Useful hints:

Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer(s)For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.

Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc: these should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.

Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s) provided.

Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as pos- sible.

Milk bootles: 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.

Defrosting

Refrigerator

Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water drains out through a trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the motor compressor, where it evaporates.

Switching off the appliance

To switch off, hold down the ON/OFF button for approx. 3 seconds. This will result in a countdown from "3" to "1" taking place in the temperature display. On reaching "1" the fridge will switch off. The temperature display will go off.

If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period:

1.Remove all refrigerated and deep-frozen packages as well as ice trays.

2.Switch off the appliance, holding down the ON/OFF button until the display goes off (see above).

3.Remove the mains plug or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.

4.Leave the door open to avoid the build up of odours.
