CRISPZONE – FRUIT AND VEGETABLE BIN WITH
HUMIDITY CONTROL
• The bin at the bottom of the refrigerator is intended for storing fruit and vegetables. It
provides humidity and prevents the food from drying out.
• Store the food in suitable packaging to prevent them from emitting or taking on odours.
The bin has integrated humidity regulator which allows setting the humidity according
to the amount of food stored.
INTERIOR SIDE OF THE REFRIGERATOR DOOR
Mounted on the refrigerator door are compartments (shelves or bins) intended fro storing
cheese, butter, eggs, yoghurt and other smaller packages, tubes, cans, etc. There is a
bottle shelf at the lower end of the door.
The height of door bins/shelves can be
adjusted to your preferences without
having to take them out of the appliance.

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.
