ENGLISH
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used,
can be thawed in the refrigerator compartment
or at room temperature, depending on the time
available for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen,
directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking
will take longer.
Storage of food in the refrigerator
compartment
• Cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has
a strong flavour.
• Position the food so that air can circulate
freely around it.
• For best performance, leave enough space
in the refrigerator compartment for air
to circulate around the packages. Also let
enough room at the front so the door can
close tightly.
Low temperature compartment
• The drawer is suitable for storing fresh
food like fish, meat, seafood, because the
temperature is lower here than in the rest of
the refrigerator compartment.
• The low temperature compartment is
equipped with runners. You can pull it out of
the appliance.
Caution! Before placing or removing the
low temperature compartment inside the
appliance, pull out the vegetable drawer
and glass cover.
Positioning the door balconies
Picture for reference only
• To permit storage of food packages of
various sizes, the door balconies can be
placed at different heights.
• Carefully remove a door balcony from the
support, then reposition it as desired.
Movable shelves
Picture for reference only
• The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of runners so that the safety
glass shelves can be positioned as desired.
Caution! Do not move the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer to ensure
correct air circulation.
