Adjustable 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 back
of the shelf and carefully pull it out of
the grooves.
Salad crisper drawers and cover
oThe crisper drawers are suitable for storing fruits, salad and
vegetables. They are designed to keep the contents fresh for as
long as possible.
oThe crisper cover helps to prevent fruit and vegetables from
drying out prematurely, and can also be used as a shelf.
oCare should be taken when storing tomatoes and tropical fruit
such as bananas and pineapples, etc, as these types of items can
easily deteriorate at a lower temperature.
oTo remove the safety glass crisper cover, remove the salad
crisper drawers, lift up the front of the shelf and then pull it
towards you.
The dairy compartment
oThe top rack on the fridge
door should be used to store
eggs, butter, cheese, yogurts
etc.
IMPORTANT: You should take
care not to trap your fingers
when opening and shutting the
cover of the dairy compartment.
General door racks
oThe door liners hold various racks, which are suitable for storing
eggs, cheese, butter, yogurt, 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.
Door rack height adjustment
It is possible to adjust the height of the door racks
oRemove all items from the rack
that you want to adjust the height
of.
oHold both sides of the rack then lift
it upwards and pull it towards you.
oPlace the rack back into the door at
the height that you require and
then push it downwards until it
locates into position.
NOTE: By adjusting the position of the door racks you will
increase / decrease the storage height of adjacent racks.
Please adjust to your preference.
Description of the product features (freezer)
The freezer section consists of a tray drawer (top), a fast freeze
drawer (second from top) and two normal drawers (bottom).
oThe top of the freezer compartment contains a shallow storage
tray which can be used to store smaller items or items which are
more regularly used for ease of access.
oThe top freezer drawer is labelled as ‘Fast Freeze’. This drawer
can be used to quickly freeze fresh food. Please see the Fast
Freeze section for full details
oShould you be storing something for a longer period of time we
would recommend using the normal freezer drawers, located
below the Fast Freeze drawer.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT pull the drawers out with too much force, or
overload them as this may cause food to fall out when you are opening
the drawer.
