Humidity control

The glass shelf incorporates a device with slits
(adjustable by means of a sliding lever), which
makes it possible to regulate the temperature in
the vegetable drawer(s).
When the ventilation slots are closed:
the natural moisture content of the food in the
fruit and vegetable compartments is preserved for
longer.
When the ventilation slots are opened:
more air circulation results in a lower air moisture
content in the fruit and vegetable compartments.

Helpful hints and tips

Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high, the Temperature Regulator is on the higher setting
and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost
or ice on the evaporator. If this happens, turn the Temperature Regulator toward lower
settings to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in electricity consumption.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour
• position food so that air can circulate freely around it

Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:
Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable
drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s)
provided.
Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in
aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.
