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 front left edge
of the inside of the fridge section. 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.

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” on pages 19 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 racks
oThe door liner holds various racks, which are suitable for storing
eggs, cheese, butter and yogurt. As well as smaller packages,
tubes, cans etc.
5) 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
