Note

• Cover food to prevent it drying out.

• Hot food must be allowed to cool properly before being placed in the refrigerator.

• Make sure sufficient space is left for air to circulate around the food.

Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is completely automatic.

Fan

The fan guarantees a uniform temperature inside the refrigerator compartment to create
optimal food storage conditions.

Button-operated fan (if present):

To activate the fan, press the corresponding button (6a). We recommend the fan is
switched on whenever the ambient temperature exceeds 27-28°C, or if water droplets
begin to form on the glass shelves, or in very humid conditions.

Remember to switch off the fan when the ambient temperature drops.
Note: do not place food in front of the the air inlet grille (6b).
The fan will ONLY run if the compressor is working.
