C led 4 led 3 led 2 led 1 B A 17 USING THE MEAT & FISH COMPARTMENT (if present) The appliance has a special compartment designed for best storage of Meat and Fish products. Inside this compartment, the temperature will be colder than in the rest of the refrigerator compartment. This ensure that fresh foods (meat & fish) can be stored for longer periods, without the need to freeze them, and without any alteration to their original freshness and nutritional values. The optimum temperature inside the meat-fish compartment is guaranteed with the intermediate settings (LEDs 2 and 3 on). This special compartment is not recommended for storing fruit and vegetables, as the temperature could fall below 0°C, causing the water naturally contained in them to freeze. Temperature indicator • The temperature inside the compartment is displayed on a temperature indicator, on the door of the compartment itself (Fig. 1). • The coloured sector indicates the ideal temperature range for storing meat & fish products. • The temperature inside the compartment takes approximately one hour to stabilise. Warning: The temperature inside the meat & fish compartment is dependant on the temperature inside the rest of the refrigerator. Therefore, if the compartment temperature indicator is in the or °C sectors, change the refrigerator temperature using the (A) key.
