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 mois-
ture content in the fruit and vegetable compart-
ments.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

Normal Operating Sounds

• You may hear a faint gurgling and a bubbling sound when the refrigerant is pumped
through the coils or tubing. This is correct.
• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped around and you will hear
a whirring sound and a pulsating noise from the compressor. This is correct.
• The thermic dilatation might cause a sudden cracking noise. It is natural, not danger-
ous physical phenomenon. This is correct.
• When the compressor switches on or switches off, you will hear a faint "click" of the
temperature regulator. This is correct.

Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the Temperature Regulator is set to low tem-
perature and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, caus-
ing frost or ice on the evaporator. If this happens, set the Temperature Regulator to-
ward warmer settings to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in electricity con-
sumption.

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 vegeta-
ble drawer.
