It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the
appliance. Micro-organisms will cause
food which is not stored at the correct
temperature to deteriorate rapidly.
Temperature influences the growth rate
of these micro-organisms. Reducing
the temperature reduces their growth
rate.
The temperature in the appliance will
rise:
–the more often the door is opened
and the longer it is kept open,
– if too much food is stored in it at
once,
– the warmer the food is which is being
put...

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.
Warmest area
The warmest area is in the top section
of the door. Use this for storing butter
and cheese.
Coldest area
The coldest area in the refrigerator is
inside the pull-out container above the
fruit and vegetable container.
Use...

Food which is not suitable for
storing in the refrigerator
Not all food is suitable for storing in a
refrigerator at temperatures below 5 °C,
as some food is sensitive to cold.
Cucumbers, for example, become
glassy, aubergines bitter and potatoes
sweet. Tomatoes and oranges loose
their aroma, and the peel on citrus fruits
hardens.
Food which is sensitive to cold
includes:
–Pineapple, avocado, bananas,
pomegranate, mango, melon,
papaya, passion fruit,
citrus fruit (such as lemons, oranges,
mandarins,...

Examples of fruit and vegetables
which react strongly to the natural
gases given off by other types of fruit
and vegetables are:
Kiwis, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels
sprouts, mangos, honeydew melons,
apples, apricots, cucumbers, tomatoes,
pears, nectarines and peaches.
Example: Broccoli should not be stored
with apples, as apples produce a large
amount of natural gas to which broccoli
is very sensitive. The result is a shorter
than expected storage time for the
broccoli.
Unpacked meat and vegetables...

Moving the shelves
The shelves can be adjusted according
to the height of the food.
Lift up the shelf at the front and pull it
forwards to remove it.
Fit the stoppers at both sides at the
required position.
With the raised edge at the back,
replace the shelf at the required
position.
The raised edge at the back must
face upwards to prevent food from
touching the back of the appliance
and freezing to it.
Adjusting the door

Push the door/bottle shelf upwards,
then remove it by...

The refrigerator defrosts automatically.
Condensate and frost can build up on
the back wall of the refrigerator whilst it
is in use. You do not need to remove
this, as it will defrost and evaporate
automatically with the warmth
generated by the appliance.
The condensate is drained away via a
channel and drain hole into an
evaporation system at the back of the
appliance.
Ensure that the condensate channel
and drain hole are kept clean and
are never blocked so that
condensate can flow away without...

components and cause a short
circuit.
The data plate located inside the
appliance must not be removed. It
contains information which is
required in the...

Ventilation gaps
The ventilation gaps should be
cleaned on a regular basis with a
brush or vacuum cleaner. A build up
of dust will increase the energy
consumption of the appliance.
The ventilation grille in the plinth can be
removed for cleaning:
Press the clips in the openings of the
grille upwards and simultaneously
pull the grille forwards.
Door seal
Do not use any oils or grease on the
door seal as these will cause the
seal to deteriorate and become
porous over time.
The door seal should be...
