Daily use

Movable shelves

The walls of the refriger­ator are equipped with a
series of runners so that
the shelves can be posi­tioned as desired.

Vegetable 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 (if foreseen) on the bottom of the drawer
to separate the fruit and vegetables from any humidity
that may form on the bottom surface.
All parts inside the drawer can be removed for cleaning
purposes

Humidity control

The glass shelf incorporates a device with slits (adjust­able by means of a sliding lever), which makes it pos­sible to regulate the temperature in the vegetable draw­er(s).
When the ventilation slots are closed:
the natural moisture content of the food in the fruit and
vegetable compartments is preserved for longer.
When the ventilation slots are opened:
more air circulation results in a lower air moisture con­tent in the fruit and vegetable compartments.

Positioning the door shelves

To permit storage of food
packages of various
sizes, the door shelves
can be placed at different
heights.

Gradually pull the shelf in
the direction of the ar­rows until it comes free,
then reposition as re­quired.
