Children and vulnerable people safety • • • • This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not carry out cleaning and user maintenance of the appliance without supervision. [. . . ] Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, chlorine or oil-based cleaners as they will damage the finish. Positioning the door shelves To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be placed at different heights. Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows until it comes free. Reposition as required. This model is equipped with a variable storage box which can be moved sideways. Movable shelves The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired. 25 Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer. NaturaFresh Compartment The storage temperature and the relative humidity (between 45 and 90 %) provide optimal conditions for the storage of various kinds of food.

Not to be placed in the NaturaFresh compartment: • Cold sensitive fruit which have to be stored at cellar or room temperature like pineapple, bananas, grapefruit, melons, mango, papaya, oranges, lemons, kiwi fruit. • The types of food not mentioned above should be stored in the refrigerator compartment (e. g. all sorts of cheese, cold cuts, etc. ) The level of air humidity in the drawers depends on the content of humidity in the stored food, vegetable and fruit and on the frequency of door opening The NaturaFresh compartment is also suitable for slow thawing of food. In this case the thawed food can be stored in the NaturaFresh compartment for up to two days. • Pay attention to the freshness of the food, especially on the expiry date. • The whole storage cycle time will depend on the preservation conditions made prior to the final storage in the fridge. • Food, fruit or vegetables should always be packed or wrapped up before storage. • Animal food: always store packed and dry. • Food rich in proteins will go bad quicker. This means seafood will spoil before fish which in turn will spoil before meat. While storing food in a NaturaFresh compartment storage time for that kind of food can be increased by up to three times as well without loss on quality. • All food stored in a NaturaFresh compartment should be taken out of the drawers roughly 15-30 min before consumption, particularly fruit and vegetables to be consumed without any additional cooking process. Allowing fruit and vegetables to return to room temperature will improve the texture and flavour. Temperature indicator For proper storage of food the refrigerator is equipped with the temperature indicator. The symbol on the side wall of the appliance indicates the coldest area in the refrigerator. If OK is displayed (A), put fresh food into area indicated by symbol, if not (B), adjust the temperature controller to a colder setting and wait 12 hours before checking the temperature indicator again. A OK OK B 28 After putting fresh food into the appliance or after opening the door repeatedly or for a long period, it is normal for the indicator not to show OK; wait at least 12 hours before readjusting the temperature controller. Fan The refrigerator compartment is equipped with a device that allows rapid cooling of food and keeps a more uniform temperature in the compartment. This device activates automatically when needed, for example for a quick temperature recovery after door opening or when the ambient temperature is high. The Fan device stops when the door is open and restarts immediately after the door closing. HINTS AND TIPS Normal operating sounds The following sounds are normal during operation: • A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from coils sound when refrigerant is pumped. • A whirring and pulsating sound from the compressor when refrigerant is pumped. • A sudden cracking noise from inside appliance caused by thermic dilatation (a natural and not dangerous physical phenomenon). • A faint click noise from the temperature regulator when the compressor switches on or off. Hints for refrigeration Useful hints: • Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable packaging and place it on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. [. . . ] The compressor does not start immediately after pressing the Shopping, or after changing the temperature. Water flows inside the refrigerator. This is normal, no error has occurred. This is normal, no error has occurred. The compressor starts after a period of time. The water outlet is clogged. Food products prevent that water flows into the water collector. Clean the water outlet. Attach the melting water outlet to the evaporative tray. Water flows on the floor. The melting water outlet is not connected to the evaporative tray above the compressor.
