Chiller compartment
Fig.
5
The chiller compartment is suitable for the
storage of food which is to be kept
particularly fresh.
The storage compartments and the chiller
compartment must be in position. If they are
moved, the chiller compartment may not fulfil
its purpose.
If controller is moved, the temperature can be
adjusted even better to the stored food.
–
Regulator to right:
Storage of fish and meat
(lower temperature)
– Regulator to left:
Storage of fruit and vegetables
(higher temperature)
The controller should never be in the middle
position.
Fruit and vegetable drawer
Fig.
6
The fruit and vegetable compartment
automatically regulates the air humidity in the
compartment. This retains the freshness and
“crispiness” of the stored food for longer.
Vitamin kit
(not all models)
Fig.
7
The vitamin kit retains the freshness of the
fruit and vegetables stored in the fruit and
vegetable compartment for even longer.
Important:
To ensure that the vitamin kit functions,
it must be kept dry.
Odour filter
(not all models)
Unpleasant odours in the refrigerator
compartment are prevented by the odour
filter.
Tip: Highly odorous food should nevertheless
be stored in sealable containers.
If the effect of the odour filter diminishes,
it can easily be treated:

1. Take out the odour filter.
2. Dry with a hair dryer.
3. Place the odour filter in the sun to
eliminate any residue of unpleasant
odours (decomposition of the odour
compounds by ultraviolet light).
4. Re-insert odour filter.
Preserving food
Pay attention when arranging food:
– Allow warm food and drinks to cool down
outside the appliance.
– Wrap or cover food before placing in the
appliance. This way the aroma and
freshness is preserved. This is done
likewise to help avoid the transfer of
odours and colours onto plastic parts.
– Keep plastic parts and the door seal free
of oil and grease.
– Bottles which contain a high percentage
of alcohol must be sealed and stored in
an upright position.
When buying food, please note:
The “purchase freshness” is important for the
shelf-life of your food. In principle the
following applies: the fresher the food is
placed in the ”cool-fresh” compartment, the
longer it will keep. When buying food, always
note the degree of freshness.
