Positioning the door shelves

To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be placed at dif-
ferent heights.

Carbon Air Filter

Your appliance is equipped with a carbon filter
CLEAN AIR CONTROL behind a flap in the rear wall
of the fridge compartment.
The filter purifies the air from unwanted odours in
the fridge and LONGFRESH compartment meaning
that the storage quality will be further improved.
During the operation, always keep the air ventila-
tion flap closed.

LONGFRESH Compartment

In the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment the temperature is controlled automatically. It stays
constantly at about 0°C, no adjustment is necessary.
The constant storage temperature of about 0°C and the relative humidity of between 45
and 90 % provide optimal conditions for the various kinds of food.
You can therefore store a variety of fresh food in the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment, where
it will last up to 3 times longer with better quality compared to normal refrigerator com-
partments. This allows you to stock more fresh food. Taste, degree of freshness, quality and
nutritional values (vitamins and minerals) are well preserved. Loss of weight in vegetables
and fruit diminishes. Food yields a higher degree of nutritional value.
The LONGFRESH 0°C compartment is also suitable for defrosting food.
In this case the thawed food can be stored up to two days .

Humidity control

Both drawers can be used according to the de-
sired storage conditions independently of each
other with lower or higher humidity.
Regulation for each drawer is separate and is con-
trolled using the slide valve at the front of the
drawer.
• „Dry": low air humidity - up to 50 % relative
humidity
This humidity level is reached when both sliders are set into this position and the ven-
tilation openings are wide open.
• Humid": high relative humidity - up to 90%
