HOW TO STORE FRESH FOOD AND BEVERAGES

* The number and type of door balconies depends on the model

Refrigerator compartment defrosting is completely automatic. Droplets of water on the rear wall inside the refrigerator compartment indicate that the automatic defrost phase is in progress. The defrost water is automatically run into a drain hole and collected in a container, where it evaporates.

Multi-fresh Zone (drawer)\*

You can customize the temperature in the Multi-fresh Zone (b) to preserve the type of food you place inside as best possible. Turn the knob on the drawer to set the food type:

• Fish and meat*
• Cheese and dairy products
• Fruit and vegetables

Note: we recommend you do not put fish and meat inside the drawer at the same time unless they are properly packed, to avoid cross contamination.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

Total No Frost freezers provide chilled air circulation around the storage areas, and prevent the formation of ice, thereby completely eliminating the need for defrosting.

Frozen items don't stick to the walls, labeling stays legible and storage space remains neat and clear.

The freezer compartment allows for the storage of frozen food and the freezing of fresh food. The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in a specific time period is indicated on the rating plate. Arrange the fresh food in the freezing area inside the freezer compartment, leaving enough space around it to allow air to circulate freely. Avoid allowing fresh food to come into direct contact with frozen food. Load limits are determined by baskets, flaps, drawers, shelves etc..

Make sure that these components can still close easily after loading. The freezing zone's drawer/compartment is shown in the picture above. To optimize freezing speed and get more storage space, the freezer compartment can be used without the freezer drawers and the food can be placed directly on the bottom of the compartment. To avoid food waste, please refer to the recommended setting and storage found in the online user manual.

Ice cubes

Fill 2/3 of the ice tray with water and place it back in the freezer compartment. Do not use sharp or pointed objects to remove the ice.

ACCESSORIES\*

GENERAL INFORMATION

The drawers, baskets, and shelves should be kept in their current position unless otherwise specified in this quick guide. The light system inside the refrigerator compartment uses LED lights, which provide better lighting and use less energy than traditional bulbs.

Doors and lids of the refrigerator should be removed before disposal, to avoid children or animals getting trapped inside.
