DAILYUSE

WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.

Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the first time, the interior and all internal accessories should be washed with lukewarm water and some neutral soap to remove the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dried thoroughly.

CAUTION! 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.

1. Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows until it comes free.
2. Reposition as required.

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 to ensure correct air circulation.

NaturaFresh Compartment

The storage temperature and the relative humidity (between 45 and 90% ) provide optimal conditions for the storage of various kinds of food.

To learn about the temperature settings in the NaturaFresh compartment please refer to the "NaturaFresh compartment setting" section

NaturaFresh compartment is suitable for the storage of a variety of fresh food as it preserves its high nutritional values as well as high humidity level much longer in comparison to the regular refrigerator.

The NaturaFresh compartment is also suitable for defrosting food.

The thawed food can be stored up to two days.

Humidity control

The compartment has stops that prevent the drawers from falling out when fully extended. To remove the drawer:

1. Pull the drawer to the maximum.
2. Lift and pull out the drawer.

The drawers marked with water drop symbols: and can be used

according to the desired storage conditions independently of each other with lower or higher humidity.

Regulation for each drawer is separate and is controlled 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 ventilation openings are wide open.

• Humid: high relative humidity - up to 90%

This humidity level is reached when both sliders are set in this position and the ventilation openings are closed. Humidity is kept and can not escape.

Type of food Air humidity adjustment Storage time
Onion	♂ "dry"	up to 5 months
Butter	♂ "dry"	up to 1 month
Beef, venison, small meat cuts, poultry	♂ "dry"	up to 7 days
Tomato sauce	♂ "dry"	up to 4 days
Fish, shellfish, cooked meat products	♂ "dry"	up to 3 days
Cooked seafood	♂ "dry"	up to 2 days
Salad, vegetables Carrots, herbs, brussels sprouts, celery	\( \bigtriangleup \bigtriangleup \) "humid"	up to 1 month
Artichokes, cauliflower, chicory, iceberg lettuce, en-dive, lamb's lettuce, lettuce, leeks, radicchio	\( \bigtriangleup \bigtriangleup \) "humid"	up to 21 days
Broccoli, Chinese leaves, kale, cabbage, radishes, Savoy cabbage	\( \bigtriangleup \bigtriangleup \) "humid"	up to 14 days
Type of food Air humidity adjustment Storage time
Peas, kohlrabi	“humid”	up to 10 days
Spring onions, radishes, asparagus, spinach	“humid”	up to 7 days
Fruit Pears, dates (fresh), strawberries, peaches	“humid”	up to 1 month
Plums rhubarb, gooseberries	“humid”	up to 21 days
Apples (not sensitive to cold), quinces	“humid”	up to 20 days
Apricots, cherries	“humid”	up to 14 days
Damsons, grapes	“humid”	up to 10 days
Blackberries, currants	“humid”	up to 8 days
Figs (fresh)	“humid”	up to 7 days
Blueberries, raspberries	“humid”	up to 5 days

Cakes containing cream and other kinds of pastry products can be stored in the NaturaFresh compartment for 2 or 3 days.

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. Quality and freshness influence the storage time.
  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.

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.

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.

FreeStore

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 FreeStore device stops when the door is open and restarts immediately after the door closing.

• A faint click noise from the temperature regulator when the compressor switches on or off.

Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.

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
