Using the refrigerator to its full potential
• Placeonlycoldorlukewarmfoodsinthecompartment,never
hotfoods(seePrecautionsandtips).
• Rememberthatcookedfoodsdonotlastlongerthanrawfoods.
• Donotstoreliquidsinopencontainers:theywillincreasethe
level of humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to
form.
SHELVES: with or without grill.
Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and the
heightisadjustable(seediagram),allowingeasystorageoflarge
containersandfood.Heightcanbeadjustedwithoutcomplete
removal of the shelf.
TEMPERATURE Indicatorlight*: to identify the coldest area in
the refrigerator.
1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light (see
diagram).
2. Iftheword“OK”doesnotappearitmeansthatthetemperature
istoohigh:adjusttheREFRIGERATOROPERATIONknobtoa
higherposition(colder)andwaitapproximately10hoursuntil
thetemperaturehasbeenstabilised.
3. Checktheindicatorlightagain:ifnecessary,readjustitfollowing
theinitialprocess.Iflargequantitiesoffoodhavebeenadded
or if the refrigerator door has been opened frequently, it is
