IMPORTANT: When you install your appliance it is important to bear
in mind its climatic rating.
In order to find out the climatic rating of your appliance, you should
check the rating plate. The rating plate is located on the inside of the
fridge section, behind the salad crispers. You will need to open the
door of your appliance to be able to find it. The rating plate will
indicate the ambient temperature range that your appliance will
function correctly within.

Safety glass 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.
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
“The defrost drain hole” section for a detailed explanation of how
to keep the channel clear).
Salad 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.
General door racks
oThe door liner holds various racks which are suitable for storing
eggs, cheese, butter, yogurt, as well as smaller packages, tubes,
cans etc.
Bottle rack
oThe lower door rack 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.
