Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped

with a series of runners so that the shelves

can be positioned as desired.

Hints and tips

Hints for energy saving

• Most efficient use of energy is ensured in

the configuration with the drawers in the

bottom part of the appliance and shelves

evenly distributed. Position of the door

bins does not affect energy consumption.

• Do not open the door frequently or leave

it open longer than necessary.

• Do not set too high temperature to save

energy unless it is required by the

characteristics of the food.

• If the ambient temperature is high and

the temperature control is set to low

temperature and the appliance is fully

loaded, the compressor may run

continuously, causing frost or ice

formation on the evaporator. In this case,

set the temperature control toward

higher temperature to allow automatic

defrosting and to save energy this way.

• Ensure a good ventilation. Do not cover

the ventilation grilles or holes.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

• The medium temperature setting ensures

good preservation of fresh food.

Higher temperature setting inside the

appliance may lead to shorter shelf life of

food.

• Cover the food with packaging to

preserve its freshness and aroma.

Do not move the glass shelf

above the vegetable drawer to

ensure correct air circulation.

Vegetable drawer

There is a special drawer in the bottom part

of the appliance suitable for storage of fruits

and vegetables.

• Always use closed containers for liquids

and for food, to avoid flavours or odours

in the compartment.

• To avoid the cross-contamination

between cooked and raw food, cover the

cooked food and separate it from the raw

one.

• It is recommended to defrost the food

inside the fridge.

• Do not insert hot food inside the

appliance. Make sure it has cooled down

at room temperature before inserting it.

• To prevent food waste the new stock of

food should always be placed behind the

old one.

Hints for food refrigeration

• Fresh food compartment is the one

marked (on the rating plate) with

• Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable

packaging and place it on the glass shelf

above the vegetable drawer. Store meat

for at most 1-2 days.

drawer (vegetable drawer).

• It is advisable not to keep the exotic fruits

like bananas, mangos, papayas etc. in the
