Defrost Water Outlet (2)
The interior of the refrigerator is cooled with cooling plate
incorporated in the rear wall. Under the plate there is a channel
and an outlet for defrost water.
Regularly check the defrost water outlet and the channel,
because they should never be clogged (as for example with
food rests). If clogged, use a plastic straw and clean it.
Fruit and Vegetable Container (3)
The container is on the bottom under the glass shelf and is
used mainly for storing fruits and vegetables. It provides
adequate humidity which has favourable effect on food stored

may even drop below 0°C.
When the ambient temperature is normal, we recommend
medium setting.

packed as to prevent mixing various moisture degrees and
odors (in polyethylene bags or sheet, aluminium foil, wax
