3.4.1 The Fresh Dial

Fresh dial If the crisper is full, the fresh dial located in front of the crisper should be opened. This allows the air in the crisper and the humidity rate to be controlled, to increase the life of food within. The dial, located behind the shelf, must be opened if any condensation is seen on the glass shelf. V.2EN - 56 4 FOOD STORAGE

• To redu ce humidity and avoid the con- sequent formation of frost, always store liquids in sealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporating liquid and, in time, your appliance will require more frequent defrosting.

• Never place warm food in the refri- gerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool at room temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator compart- ment.

• Make sure no items are in direct contact with the rear wall of the appliance as frost will develop and packaging will stick to it. Do not open the refrigerator door frequently.

• We recommend that meat and clean fish are loosely wrapped and stored on the glass shelf just above the vegetable bin where the air is cooler, as this provides the best storage conditions.

• Store loose fruit and vegetable items in the crisper containers.

• Store loose fruit and vegetables in the crisper.

• Storing fruit and vegetables separately helps prevent ethylene-sensitive vege- tables (green leaves, broccoli, carrot, etc.) being affected by ethylene-releaser fruits (banana, peach, apricot, fig etc.).

• Do not put wet vegetables into the refrigerator.

• Storage time for all food products depends on the initial quality of the food and an uninterrupted refrigeration cycle before refrigerator storage.

• To avoid cross-contamination do not store meat products with fruit and vegetables. Water leaking from meat may contaminate other products in the refrigerator. You should package meat products and clean any leakages on the shelves.

• Do not put food in front of the air flow passage.

• Consume packaged foods before the recommended expiry date. NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.

• For normal working conditions, it will be sufficient to adjust the temperature setting of your refri- gerator to +4 °C.

• The temperature of the fridge com- partment should be in the range of 0-8 °C, fresh foods below 0°C are iced and rotted, bacterial load increases above 8 °C, and spoils.

• Do not put hot food in the refri- gerator immediately, wait for the temperature to pass outside. Hot foods increase the degree of your refrigerator and cause food poisoning and unnecessary spoiling of the food.

• Meat, fish, etc. should be store in the chiller compartment of the food, and the vegetable compartment is preferred for vegetables. (if avai- lable)

• To prevent cross contamination, meat products and fruit vegetables are not stored together.

• Foods should be placed in the refrigerator in closed containers or covered to prevent moisture and odors. V.2EN - 57 The table below is a quick guide to show you the most efficient way to store the major food groups in your refrigerator compartment.

Do not wash your appliance by pouring water on it. Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps for clea- ning the appliance. After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When you have finished cleaning, reconnect the plug to the mains supply with dry hands.

• Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical components.

• The appliance should be cleaned regularly using a solution of bicar- bonate of soda and lukewarm water.

Clean the accessories separately by hand with soap and water. Do not wash accessories in a dish washer. Clean the condenser with a brush at least twice a year. This will help you to save on energy costs and increase productivity. The power supply must be disconnected during cleaning. V.2EN - 58

Defrosting the Refrigerator Compartment

• Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator compartment during operation. The water is collected by the evaporation tray and evaporates automatically.

• The evaporation tray and the water drain hole should be cleaned periodically with the defrost drain plug to prevent the water from collecting at the bottom of the refrigerator instead of flowing out.

• You can also clean the drain hole by pouring half a glass of water down it. Replacing LED Lighting To replace any of the LEDs, please contact the nearest Authorised Service Centre. Note: The numbers and location of the LED strips may change according to the model. 6 SHIPMENT AND REPOSITIONING

8 TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY

1. Install the appliance in a cool, well-

ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight and not near a heat source (such as a radiator or oven) other- wise an insulating plate should be used.

2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool

before placing them inside the appliance.

3. Drinks or other liquids should be

covered when inside the appliance. If left uncovered, the humidity inside the appliance will increase, therefore the appliance uses more energy. Keeping drinks and other liquids covered helps preserve their smell and taste.

4. Avoid keeping the doors open for

long periods and opening the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the appliance and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.

5. Keep the covers of the different

temperature compartments ( such as the crisper and chiller) closed.

6. The door gasket must be clean and

pliable. In case of wear, replace the gasket. 9 TECHNICAL DATA The technical information is situated in the rating plate on the internal side of the appliance and on the energy label.
