Grids (adjustable in height) Depending on the model: - it is possible to adjust grids slant - it is possible to lift the flap of one of the grids to fit bottles - a grid consisting of various sections makes food storage easier 2. Moisture filter for low temperature crispers and/or fruit and vegetables drawers, (depending on the model) 6. Air inflow control sliders for low temperature crispers and/or fruit and vegetables crispers, (depending on the model) 7. [. . . ] Bottles In order to better preserve all its characteristics (vitamins, flavour, texture and freshness), we suggest to wrap food in aluminium foil or plastic film or to place it into appropriate containers with tight fitting lids. This also avoids the transfer of odours and flavours throughout 16 the compartment. Since the temperature is practically the same everywhere because of the ventilated cooling system, food wrappings may be placed on any shelf Important: • Make sure that air circulates freely between stored food. • Do not store food that is still warm in the refrigerator compartment. • For a more uniform temperature in the refrigerator compartment, you should not put food in front of the ventilation aperture (7). HOW TO USE THE LOW TEMPERATURE COMPARTMENT The appliance (depending on the model) has a compartment that is especially designed for storing delicate and perishable food at the optimum temperature of approximately 0°C. This allows to significantly stretch food storage time without having to freeze it and without changing the nutritional values and the original freshness. The food most suitable for being preserved in this compartment is meat, fish and furthermore vacuum-packed food, not frozen, for which storage at 0°C is always recommended. We remind you that correct storage always depends on such factors as the original freshness of food when purchased and its packaging. Caution: • This compartment has its own temperature control; optimum temperature is approximately 0°C. • The knob (7) is already set for the appropriate storage of normal quantities of food at a room temperature between + 20°C and + 25°C. • The larger drawer can be equipped with a special filter which provides a different moisture value particularly for food that should be stored at 0°C. If you have to change the inside temperature • If you want an inside temperature slightly less cold, or colder, turn the knob (7) towards MIN or MAX, respectively. If you don’t want to use the low temperature drawers and would like to have more room in the refrigerator compartment, proceed as follows: • Remove the lower crispers • Set the thermostat knob (7) beyond MIN on option G. In this way there will be the same temperature as in the refrigerator compartment. (For food storage, see chapter “How to use the refrigerator compartment”). 17 HOW TO USE THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT The freezer compartment, marked with the symbol, is on the bottom, of the appliance and allows the perfect freezing of fresh and cooked food as well as the storage of frozen food and the making of ice cubes. Place food in the bottom section, leaving enough room between the wrapped items so that air circulates freely. When it is turned from MAX to SUPER, the knob opposes a slight resistance and, at the same time, the yellow pilot light (3) on the control panel turns on (depending on the model). • Freezing is completed after 24 hours. Turn the knob from SUPER to MAX to switch super-freezing off. Caution: • In order to render freezing more efficient, we suggest to set the super-freeze system 24 hours before putting food in and to let it run for the next 24 hours. Also set knob (5) on , MAX and remember to reset knob (5) on MED after 24 hours. • The maximum quantity (in kg. ) of food which can be frozen in 24 hours at a room temperature of +25°C is stated on the rating plate. • Never store food that is still warm in the freezer compartment. [. . . ] • Make sure that the appliance is level. • Leave a gap of at least 50 mm above the appliance. • Some models have projecting side walls which allows the appliance to be positioned against the back wall. Otherwise, fit the spacers (if supplied) on the upper part of the condenser, on the back of the appliance. [. . . ]
