• This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians.

Use

• The domestic refrigerators and freezers are designed to be used specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs only.

Warning: when the ambient temperature is not included within the range indicated for the class of this appliance, the following instructions must be observed: when the ambient temperature drops below the minimum level, the storage temperature in the freezer compartment cannot be

guaranteed; therefore it is advisable to use the food stored as soon as possible.

Drawer

The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and vegetables. There is a separator inside the drawer that can be placed in different positions to suit personal needs. There is a grille (if forseen) on the bottom of the drawer to separate the fruit and vegetables from any humidity on the bottom surface. All parts inside the drawer can be removed for cleaning purposes.

Humidity Control

The drawer incorporates a device with slots (adjustable by means of a sliding lever),which makes it possible to regulate the temperature in the vegetable drawer(s).

The opening in the ventilation slots can be adjusted with the slider. Right slider: Ventilation slots opened.

With the ventilation slots opened, more air circulation results in a lower air moisture content in the fruit and vegetable compartments. Left slider: Ventilation slots closed. When the ventilation slots are closed, the natural moisture content of the food in the fruit and vegetable compartments is preserved for longer.
