Chiller system
No Frost
The No Frost system
circulates cold air
continuously to collect
humidity and prevent ice
and frost formation. The
system maintains an
optimal humidity level in the
compartment, preserving
the original quality of the
food, preventing the food
from sticking together and
making defrosting a thing of the past. Do not block the
aeration cells by placing food or containers in direct
contact with the refrigerating back panel. Close bottles and
wrap food tightly.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
Use the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to adjust the
temperature (see Description).
Press the SUPER COOL button (rapid cooling) to lower
the temperature quickly. For example, when you place a
large number of new food items inside a fridge the
internal temperature will rise slightly. The function quickly
cools the groceries by temporarily reducing the
temperature until it reaches the ideal level.
Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, not
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
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, allowing easy storage of large containers
and food.
FRUIT and VEGETABLE bin
The salad crispers fitted inside the fridge have been
specially designed for the purpose of keeping fruit and
vegetables fresh and crisp. Open the humidity regulator
(position B) if you want to store food in a less humid
environment, or close it (position A) to store food in a more
humid environment.
