Using the refrigerator

To maintain the selected cooling temperature within the refrigerator air must be allowed to circulate.

Ensure the air circulation gaps behind the shelves are not covered.

Always allow hot foods to cool to room temperature before placing into the

refrigerator. this will avoid a build up of frost.

Foods can transfer to or take in, odours from other foods. So it is essential to put foods in closed dishes or wrap them in cellophane, aluminium foil, grease-proof paper or cling film before placing them into the refrigerator. This way foods will keep their moisture e.g. vegetables will

not dry out after some days.

Drawer

The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and vegetables.

There is a separator inside the drawer that can be placed in different position to allow for the subdivision best suited to personal needs.

Shopping mode

Before placing large quantities of foods into the refrigerator (e.g. when returning from shopping) before shopping press the function button (E) once or twice as required to select shopping mode (the shopping mode symbol will appear on the display). The temperature inside the refrigerator will cool down to its lowest possible temperature to cool the quantity of food to be placed inside.

To exit from shopping mode press the function selection button again. Should you not do so, after a while the refrigerator returns to automatic mode.

Storage time and temperature of foods

The food storage time chart in this manual give approximate information about food storage times.

It is not possible to be precise, as the food storage time will depend on the foods freshness and how the food has been handled through the food chain.

If you do not want to place pre-frozen foods purchased from the supermarket into the freezer, they can be stored for about 1 day (until defrosted) in the refrigerator.
