PAGE 42 23 BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE • Your new appliance is designed exclusively for domestic use. To get the most out of your new appliance, read the user handbook thoroughly. The handbook contains a description of the appliance and useful tips for storing food. Keep this handbook for future consultation. [. . . ] IMPORTANT: • If food is placed in the refrigerator before the appliance has reached a suitable temperature for storing food, it may deteriorate. • Turning the refrigerator and freezer controls to a cooler than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster. • A built-in exterior moisture control continuously guards against moisture build-up on the front edges; do not be alarmed if these edges feel warm to the touch. The inside light switches on when the refrigerator door is opened. EXTRA SHELF (depending on the model) Your refrigerator is provided with extra wire shelf. • To use it, pull it frontward to the position indicated in the pictures. • When not in use, just pull it upward and then push it backward. • To remove the shelf, just slide the side locks (if available) as in the picture, and pull it toward you. • After replacing the extra shelf, slide the side locks in its original position. 1 2 3 35 SLIDING GLASS SHELVES (depending on the model) Your refrigerator is provided with sliding glass shelves which make it easier for you to access foods stored at the shelves or at lower shelves. • The shelves are made of highly resistant hardened glass. • The edges of the shelves prevent split liquids from going to other compartments. Changing the position of shelves: Your refrigerator allows you to change the position of shelves according to your needs. • To remove the shelf, pull it forward to the stop. • Keep the lock pressed down ad shown in the picture detail, and pull the shelf frontward until it is released. • Pull the pins outward to remove the rails. • Remove the rails as in the picture and place them where you wish. • To place the rails observe the inscrition “ ” written on the rail. • After that, place the shelf on them. 1 HOW TO OPERATE THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE: To change the temperature inside the freezer compartment, press the Menu button until the freezer temperature symbol turns on.

The temperature adjustment range is from -18°C to -24 °C. 36 V 2 3 4 5 GUIDE TO STORAGE AND THAWING OF FOOD After switching on the appliance, the freezer compartment takes approximately 3 hours to reach a suitable temperature for frozen food storage. The freezer compartment, marked with the symbol , is used for storing frozen food and freezing fresh or cooked food. It can also be used for making ice cubes. The inner door of the freezer is especially suitable for storing pizza or frozen food with a short storage time. The maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in a 24 hour period, at an ambient temperature of 25°C, is stated on the rating plate, inside the refrigerator compartment. [. . . ] If there is moisture build-up • Make sure that the food is properly packaged. Dry any dampness on food containers before placing them in the refrigerator. • Check that the doors are not opened too often. When the door is opened, humidity from the room air enters the refrigerator. [. . . ]
