There is an adjustable air grille in front of the shelf above the fruit and
vegetable compartments. The opening in the ventilation slots can be
adjusted with the slider. Right slider: Ventilation slots opened.
With the ventilation slots open, 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.

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 allow for the
subdivision best suited to
personal needs.
There is a grille on the bottom of
the drawer to separate the fruit
and vegetables from any
humidity that may form on the
bottom surface.
To remove the drawer, use the side handles (as shown in the Fig.).
All parts inside the drawer can be removed for cleaning purposes.

Air recycling
The refrigerator compartment is
equipped with a special D.A.C.
(Dynamic Air Cooling) fan which
can be turned on with the switch B
(seefig.).
The green light, when on, means
that the fan is working.
It is suggested that the device be
used when the ambient temperature
exceeds 25°C .
This device allows for rapid cooling
of foods and a more uniform
temperature in the compartment.
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
possible.
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.

Freezing and storing frozen food
You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself.
Important!
• The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18 °C or colder
before freezing food.
• Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The freezing
capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be frozen within
a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food several days in a row,
please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4 of that on the
rating plate. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen
right through to the core as quickly as possible.
• Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause
increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
• Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufacturer.
• Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals)
may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
• Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures.
There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flammable
materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill
cartridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.
• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst when
the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even explode!
Never store lemonade, juices, beer , wine, sparkling wine etc. in the freezer .
Exception: high alcohol content spirits can be stored in the freezer.
• All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not
dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of
other frozen goods occurs.
• Not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely
necessary.
• Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the fr ozen
food could begin to defrost.
Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze
to the food.
1. Place the food to be frozen on the freezer shelf.

to remove the trays from the
freezer .
Freezing Calendar
• The symbols show different types of frozen goods.
• The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types
of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage
time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating before
freezing. The lower value applies to foods with high fat content.
