smell of a brand-new product, then dry
thoroughly.
Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage
the finish.
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of runners so that the
shelves can be positioned as desired.
For better use of space, the front halfshelves can lie over the rear ones.
To permit storage of food packages of
various sizes, the door shelves can be
placed at different heights.
To make these adjustments proceed
as follows:
gradually pull the shelf in the direction
of the arrows until it comes free, then
reposition as required.
3.4 Naturafresh 0°C
Compartment
In the Naturafresh 0°C compartment the
temperature is controlled automatically. It
stays constantly at about 0°C, no adjustment is necessary.
The constant storage temperature of
about 0°C and the relative humidity of between 45 and 90 % provide optimal conditions for the various kinds of food.
You can therefore store a variety of fresh
food in the Naturafresh 0°C compartment,
where it will last up to 3 times longer with
better quality compared to normal refrigerator compartments. This allows you to
stock more fresh food. Taste, degree of
freshness, quality and nutritional values
(vitamins and minerals) are well preserved.
Loss of weight in vegetables and fruit diminishes. Food yields a higher degree of
nutritional value.
The Naturafresh 0°C compartment is also
suitable for defrosting food.
In this case the thawed food can be stored up to two days.
3.5 Humidity control
Both drawers can be used according to
the desired storage conditions independently of each other with lower or
higher humidity.
Regulation for each drawer is separate
and is controlled using the slide valve at
the front of the drawer.
• „Dry“: low air humidity - up to 50 %
relative humidity
This humidity level is reached when
both sliders are set into this position
and the ventilation openings are
wide open.
• “Humid“: high relative humidity - up
to 90%
This humidity level is reached when
both sliders are set in this position
and the ventilation openings are closed.
Humidity is kept and can not escape.

Cakes containing cream and other kinds
of pastry products can be stored in the
Naturafresh 0°C compartment for 2 or 3
days.
Not to be placed in the Naturafresh 0°C
compartment:
• cold sensitive fruit which have to be
stored at cellar or room temperature
like pineapple, bananas, grapefruit,
melons, mango, papaya, oranges, lemons, kiwi fruit.
• The types of food not mentioned above
should be stored in the refrigerator
compartment (e.g. all sorts of cheese,
cold cuts, etc.)
The level of air humidity in the drawers depends on the content of humidity in the
stored food, vegetable and fruit and on
the frequency of door opening
The Naturafresh 0°C compartment is also
suitable for slow thawing of food. In this

case the thawed food can be stored in
the Naturafresh 0°C compartment for up
to two days.
Tips:
• Pay attention to the freshness of the
food, especially on the expiry date.
Quality and freshness influence the
storage time.
• The whole storage cycle time will depend on the preservation conditions
made prior to the final storage in the
fridge.
• Food, fruit or vegetables should always
be packed or wrapped up before storage.
• Animal food always store packed and
dry.
• Food rich in proteins will go bad quicker. This means seafood will spoil before
fish which in turn will spoil before meat.
While storing food in a Naturafresh 0°C
compartment storage time for that kind
of food can be increased by up to three
times as well without loss on quality.
• All food stored in a Naturafresh 0°C
compartment should be taken out of
the drawers roughly 15-30 min before
consumption, particularly fruit and vegetables to be consumed without any

temperature will improve the texture
and flavour.
The wire shelves inside the drawers permit that air can circulate freely and consequently a better conservation of foods.
The compartment has stops to prevent
the drawers from falling out when fully extended.
To remove the drawers (e.g. for cleaning
purposes), pull them out as far as the
stops, lift and extract.
4.1 Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than absolutely
necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and
the Temperature Regulator is set to low
temperature and the appliance is fully
loaded, the compressor may run continuously, 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.
4.2 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
4.3 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 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
wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene
bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk 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.
