warning system which ensures that the
temperature in the appliance cannot
rise unnoticed and to avoid energy
being wasted if the door is left open.

Different storage zones
Due to the natural circulation of the air
in the appliance, there are different
temperature zones in the refrigerator.
Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest
section of the appliance. Make use of
the different zones when placing food
in the appliance.
This appliance has automatic
dynamic cooling, which helps to
keep an even temperature when the
fan is running, making the difference
between the various zones less
pronounced.
Warmest area
The warmest area is in the top section
of the...

Ensure that when placing food in the
refrigerator, a gap of at least 35 mm
is maintained under the ceiling of
the appliance to enable the air to
circulate freely.
Only use the area to the front of the
refrigerator zone floor to place food
temporarily. Do not leave it there, as
when you shut the door it may get
pushed over, causing spillages.
Food which is not suitable for
storing in a refrigerator
Not all food is suitable for storing in a
refrigerator at temperatures below 5 °C,
as some food is sensitive...

Food is stored at a lower temperature in
the MasterFresh zone than in the
refrigerator section. The humidity in the
MasterFresh zone compartments can
also be regulated to suit the food being
stored, providing ideal storage
conditions and ensuring that food stays
fresh considerably longer while
retaining both flavour and vitamins.
Storage temperature
The optimum storage temperature for
fresh food which is not sensitive to cold
is0-3°C.This is the temperature
range which is automatically
maintained in the...

You cannot store food that likes high
humidity in a drawer with food that
prefers a dry atmosphere. However,
you can store several types of food
from the same humidity/dry group at
the same time.
The food can now be placed in the
MasterFresh drawer.
A humidity filter above each
MasterFresh drawer helps to regulate
the humidity in the drawers. These
filters are air permeable, but retain the
humidity.
Food that prefers a higher humidity
include:
– Freshly picked vegetables, lettuce,
herbs, mushrooms,...

Can all types of food be stored
together?
Do not place all types of food together
in one drawer. Some types of food do
not store well together. Aromas and
flavours can transfer from one type of
food to another (e.g. carrots absorb the
smell and flavour of onions very easily).
Some food also gives off a natural gas
(ethylene) which speeds up the rate at
which other food perishes. Some fruit
and vegetables react strongly to this
gas and should not be stored together.
Examples of fruit and vegetables
which...

The following tips may help if you find that food you have stored does not
keep well (e.g. food becomes limp or wilts after only being stored for a short
time):
Only use the appliance for storing fresh food. The condition of the food when it
is first placed in the appliance is an important factor in determining how long it
stays fresh.
Clean the MasterFresh zone before placing food in it.
Allow very moist food to drain before placing it in the MasterFresh zone.
Do not store food which is sensitive to...

Moving the shelves
The shelves can be adjusted according
to the height of the food.
Hold the shelf on both sides and
raise it slightly so that it can be lifted
over the catches at the back.
Pull the shelf forwards.
Place the shelf at the required level,
ensuring that it has engaged in the
catches at the back.
Make sure that the shelf is on
straight.
Fully extendable drawer
The drawer above the MasterFresh
zone sits on telescopic runners, and
can be fully pulled out for loading and
unloading.
