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.

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

PROGRESS PKV1446 - Humidity control - 3

Not to be placed in the VitaSafe 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.).

PROGRESS PKV1446 - Humidity control - 4

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 VitaSafe compartment is also suitable for slow thawing of food. In this case the

thawed food can be stored in the VitaSafe 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 VitaSafe 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 VitaSafe 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.

PROGRESS PKV1446 - Temperature indicator - 1

PROGRESS PKV1446 - Temperature indicator - 2

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.
  • A whirring and pulsating sound from the compressor when refrigerant is pumped.
  • A sudden cracking noise from inside appliance caused by thermic dilatation (a natural and not dangerous physical phenomenon).

Fan

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.
