caution

Never store solvents or flammable materials like nail polish 
remover or lighter fluid inside your refrigerator. They will 
affect the life of the plastic components and may taint 
stored food.

Door storage bins

The top mount models, bottom mount freezer model and all 
refrigerator models are fitted with door storage bins. These 
bins adjust to meet different storage needs. All the door 
bins are completely removable for cleaning. If you want to 
remove or adjust a bin, lift it over the support lugs on the 
inner door panel. To replace, push the bin down over the 
support lugs to lock it in place.

Dairy compartment

Use the dairy compartment to store foods like butter, 
margarine and cheeses. The compartment is slightly 
warmer than the rest of the refrigerator compartment, while 
the lid provides protection against odours.

Chiller bin (where fitted)

Use the chiller bin to store foods like smallgoods, fresh 
or cooked meat and cheese, or as an additional crisper. 
The bin will prevent strong food odours from creeping into 
the rest of the refrigerator. To remove the chiller bin, pull it 
forward, then lift it up and pull it further forward.

Modula bottle caddy

The Modula bottle caddy is made of anodised aluminium. 
They are used to store various types of bottles like wine or 
beer. Bottles should be stored with the bottom end towards 
the back of the refrigerator. The fridge arrives with three 
combined caddies, but they can be separated if desired.

Freezer drawers

Freezer drawers are fitted to bottom mount models and 
single door all freezer models. The drawers are mounted 
on telescopic extension slides, to enable full access to the 
content in the drawer. Clear plastic fronts provide easy 
visibility of foods.

•  To remove the drawer for cleaning,

  1.   Empty food from the drawer.
  2.    Remove the drawer by pulling it forward and lifting 

the front to unhook it from the slides. Once you 
have removed the drawer, ensure the slides are 
pushed back so they are fully closed.

•  To remove the drawer for cleaning,

  1.   Empty food from the drawer.
  2.    Remove the drawer by pulling it forward and lifting 

the front to unhook it from the slides. Once you 
have removed the drawer, ensure the slides are 
pushed back so they are fully closed.

warning

Never close the door while the telescopic slides are 
extended. This may damage the slide and/or refrigerator or 
cause the slide to become disengaged from the refrigerator.

•  To replace the drawer

  1.   With the telescopic slides pushed in all the way.
  2.    Slide the drawer into place over the slides and push 

the bin in until it stops. The bin will not be closed all 
the way.

  3.    Open the bin to access the finger tabs at the ends 

of the telescopic slides, on each side of the bin. 
Using your thumb and forefinger, lift the bin over the 
end of the slide and clip in place. If the drawer is not 
fully engaged on the slide, it’s possible the drawer 
won’t stay on the slide if fully extended.

  4. Fully close the bin.

When replacing the drawers after cleaning, we recommend 
fitting the lower drawer first.

Freezer baskets (built-in freezer only)

Freezer baskets and a freezer shelf are fitted to built-in 
freezers. Wire baskets are used to provide easy visibility of 
the contents. Both the baskets and the shelf pull out for 
easy access and have a stop to prevent the basket and 
shelf being pulled out too far.

To remove the basket or shelf, pull it out until it hits the stop 
then lift the front to unhook the stop while continuing to pull 
forward.

The end of slide must 
be clipped into place
