ACTIVESMART™ SPECIAL FEATURES
Bottle chill
This feature allows you to rapidly chill your beverages in the freezer without the worry
of forgetting about them. Activating ‘bottle chill’ drops the freezer down to its coldest
setting for 15minutes. After 15minutes, an alarm will sound and the ‘bottlechill’ light
will flash to remind you to remove your beverage.

Deep freeze
Activating ‘deep freeze’ sets the freezer temperature to -13°F (-25°C) keeping frozen
foods at its best for longer periods when stored in thick freezer proof packaging.
Note: ‘deep freeze’ feature has no additional temperature adjustment. While ‘deepfreeze’
is active no lights will be displayed on the temperature adjustment area.
Wine mode
‘Wine’ mode offers the ideal environment for both short and long-term wine storage
for red or white wines. Temperature control is critical for the maturation of wines and
‘wine’mode ensures temperature fluctuations are low allowing wines to develop to their
full potential.
With manual/independent adjustability choose a storage temperature from 45–59°F
(7–15°C) to suit your personal needs. Some wines are best consumed at a young age,
while others have remarkable ageing capabilities. Do check with your wine merchant for
more information.

ACTIVESMART™ SPECIAL FEATURES
Fruit and vegetable storage
The top and bottom bins on the left-hand side of the drawer are fitted with a
HumidityControl Lid that creates a humid microclimate to ensure optimum fruit and
vegetable storage.
The Humidity Control Lid functions to prevent condensation from dripping onto the fruit
and vegetables below by retaining the moisture into the specially designed grooves.
Select the appropriate humidity control button depending on what is stored in the bins.
The humidity controls are located on the left-hand side of the CoolDrawer™.
To adjust the humidity setting:
The picture on the top of the humidity control button will show the current setting.
Tochange the setting, simply push the adjustment button.
Suitable for salad greens such as:
Suitable for fruit with skin/peel such as:
Lettuce
Spinach
Broccoli
Cabbage
Carrots
Oranges
Lemons
Limes
Apples
Pears
Kiwifruit
Store fruits and vegetables in separate bins if possible and without external packaging.
Separating these will prevent ethylene-sensitive produce from ripening too quickly and
help extend their storage life.
If there is too much water in the bins (due to high humidity) the control can be
adjusted to the
setting. Wipe dry if required remembering that a small amount of
condensation in the bins is beneficial for optimum storage.
