683087
STORAGE BIN (MULTIBOX)*
• MultiBox bin offers a convenient way for
storing food with a strong or pungent
smell, e.g. ripened or blue-vein cheese,
sausages, onions, butter etc.
• The silicone lid provides an air-tight seal
that prevents the food from drying out
and the odour to spread throughout the
refrigerator compartment.
• The silicon lid can also be used as an egg
or ice tray.
• If the flexible lid is used as an egg tray, place it directly on the bottom of the door bin
and use the open lower part of the Multibox bin to store food in smaller packages – pâté,
jams, smaller tubes etc.
FAN*
• The fan contributes to more even temperature distribution and faster cooling, and
reduces dew (or condensate) accumulation on the storage surfaces.
• Activating the fan is recommended as an extra function in the following cases:
- when the room temperature is higher (over 30 °C);
- when humidity is higher or when dew (condensate) is accumulated on the shelves;
- when inserting a large amount of food (rapid cooling).
Note: When the fan is activated, power consumption is increased, temperature in the
refrigerator is lowered, and as a result, the temperature in the freezer changes as well.
To maintain the same temperature in the refrigerator compartment as before the fan was
activated, rotate the A knob slightly towards the thinner part of the sign.
Adjustment of temperature in the refrigerator directly affects the freezer temperature.
IONIZER (IONAIR)*
• Air ionizer installed in the refrigerator compartment keeps the air permanently fresh. As
a result, the food remains fresh and tasty longer.
• Air ionizer can be switched on and off using the switch located on the fan housing.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS REGARDING FOOD STORAGE
Correct use of the appliance, appropriate packaging, maintaining
the right temperature, and observing the food hygiene standards
has a decisive impact on the quality of food storage.
Observe the expiry dates for the food, specified on the
packaging.
Food stored in the refrigerator should be kept in closed
containers or appropriate packaging to prevent them from
emitting or receiving odours.
Do not store inflammable, volatile, and explosive substances in
the refrigerator.
Bottles with high alcohol content should be tightly sealed and
stored in an upright position.
Some organic solutions, essential oils in lemon and orange peel,
butter acid, etc. may damage the plastic surfaces in case of a
prolonged contact, causing damage and premature ageing of
these materials.
Unpleasant odour warns of lacking cleanliness of the appliance or
perished contents (see Cleaning the Appliance).

20
STORING FOOD IN THE
FRESHZONE DRAWER
683087
In the FreshZone compartment, food stays fresh longer than in a conventional
refrigerator, retaining more flavour and nutrients.
Decay and loss of mass are slowed down; therefore, fruit and vegetables remain fresh and
natural longer.
For optimum performance, the drawer should be fully closed.
• When buying food, make sure it is fresh as this will determine the quality of the food, as
well as how long it will keep in the fridge.
• Store the food in closed containers or appropriate packaging to prevent them from
emitting or receiving odours.
• Take the food from the drawer 30-60 minutes before use to allow the aroma and flavour
develop at room temperature.
• Food sensitive to low temperature and not appropriate for storage in the FreshZone
drawer include the following: pineapple, avocado, bananas, olives, potatoes, eggplant,
cucumbers, beans, peppers (capsicum), melons, watermelons, pumpkins, squash,
zucchini etc.
• To remove the drawer:
- Pull out the drawer until it is blocked.
- Then, lift it at the front and pull it all the
way out.
