How to use the fridge compartment The temperature inside the fridge compartment is adjusted manually according to the position of the thermostat knob. MIN = less cool MAX= more cool It is advised to turn the thermostat knob on to the medium (MED) position. Please comply strictly with our recommendations about the maximum durations for conservation. Some food, even it is very fresh, can not stay without deterioration for a long time. On contrary to what is believed, cooked foods are more perishable than uncooked foods. Before adjusting the thermostat, please take the quantity of food inside the fridge compartment, the ambient temperature and the frequency of opening of the refrigerator door into consideration. Cold cuts/cheese Box To use the cold cuts/cheese box, unhook it and remove it form the shelf and to optimize space according to your needs, the same can be moved laterally. Fruit and Vegetable Box WARNING: Please place your foods inside your refrigerator in such a way that the air is freely circulated. The fruit and vegetable box is designed to keep the fruits and vegetables fresh and alive. If a lower temperature for the foodstuffs is desired, open the moisture regulator or if a higher temperature is desired, close the moisture regulator half or completely. Fresh Box This compartment was designed to allow for longer preservation times for fresh meat and fish (for as long as a week). This is possible as the coldest temperature of the entire fridge is available inside this specific compartment. Moreover, the “Fresh Box” compartment can also be used to cool dishes that are normally eaten “cold”. The cover of the fresh box is opened towards to the basement of the same compartment. 4 Beverage Can Shelves Beverage can shelves give the possibility for placing not only the beverages but also yogurt, butter and other cups according to your need.
