Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a
series of runners so that the shelves can be
positioned as desired.
Do not move the glass shelf above
the vegetable drawer and the bottle
shelf to ensure correct air
circulation.

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.

Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various
sizes, the door shelves can be placed at
different heights.
1. Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of
the arrows until it comes free.
2. Reposition as required.
• 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.
• Bottles: these need a cap and should be
stored on the door bottle shelf, or (if
equipped) on the bottle rack.
• Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not
packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.
