Description of the product features
1) Shelves
oThe shelves may be placed in any of the guide slots within the
interior of the appliance. They are protected from sliding out.
oTo remove a shelf: Take off all of the items that are stored on
the shelf that you want to remove. Then lift the front of the shelf
and carefully pull it out of the grooves.
2) Defrost water outlet
oThe interior of the refrigerator is cooled by the cooling plate that
is on the rear wall. Beneath this there is a channel and an outlet
for the defrost water.
oIt is important that this channel never becomes clogged (see
Defrosting the refrigerator compartment for a detailed
explanation of how to keep the channel clear).
3) Crisper drawers and cover
oThe crisper drawers are in the bottom of your refrigerator and
there is a cover that goes over them.
oThe cover helps to prevent fruit and vegetables from drying out
prematurely.
4) Upper door shelves
oThe door liner holds various shelves, which are suitable for
storing eggs, cheese, butter and yogurt. As well as smaller
packages, tubes, cans etc.
5) Bottle shelf
oThe lower shelf should be used for storing reasonably sized
bottles.
oIMPORTANT: IT IS IMPORTANT THAT NONE OF THE
SHELVES THAT SIT IN THE DOOR ARE OVERLOADED, AS
THIS WILL DRASTICALLY REDUCE THEIR WORKING LIFE.
