Fixed-position removable shelf
This shelf, unlike the ones above it, cannot be installed
at different heights; however, it can be removed for
cleaning.
To remove it, simply lift it and free the pins from their
seats in the sides of the refrigerator as shown on the
right.
8.6
Vegetable container
This container is designed for storing fruit and vegetables, or fresh foods of other kinds. To ensure proper
hygiene and good storage of fresh foods, they should always be stored in suitable containers. Any
condensation found inside this part of the appliance does not indicate a malfunction; it may have been
produced by the foods placed inside.
8.7
Fixed door shelves
These shelves are fixed to the door of the appliance and cannot be placed at different heights.
They are suitable for storing butter, eggs, glass jars, etc.
Care must be taken that the foods placed in these compartments do not interfere with the
movable shelves of the refrigerator section once the door is closed.
Also take care over the top shelf: if the containers placed on it are too tall, once the door is
closed they may damage the appliance's structure.
8.8
Fixed bottle shelf
This shelf is provided especially to take bottles standing upright.
Do not place excessively heavy bottles on the shelf, and place bottles on it gently when loading them.
Bottles containing high-proof alcoholic drinks must always be stored upright and securely sealed.
8.9
Arranging foods inside the refrigerator section.
Arrange the foods on the various shelves, taking care that they have an airtight wrapping or cover. This
will preserve foods' fragrance, moisture and freshness, and also prevent the cross-contamination of
foods with different aromas and tastes. It will also prevent the humidity level inside the refrigerator
section becoming too high because of the normal breathing of food (especially fresh fruit and
vegetables). In some operating conditions (rise in ambient temperature and humidity, more frequent
opening of the door) this might cause condensation to form on the shelves.
The best position for storing dairy products is just above the vegetable container (shelf
on page 32),
since this area has the lowest temperature of the entire refrigerator section.
Use only containers approved for food storage. Always allow hot foods and drinks to cool to room
temperature before placing them inside the refrigerator.
The only foods which should be stored without wrapping are fresh fruit and vegetables, inside the
container provided. Never store explosive substances in the appliance and only store high-proof
alcoholic beverages firmly sealed.
Paper or cardboard containers should not be placed straight onto the surface of the glass shelf: the
condensation which may form inside the refrigerator section could damage the packaging.
Remember that opening the door of the refrigerator section too often or for too long may cause foods to
deteriorate.
