• Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly (eliminate
the soil) and place in a special drawer
(vegetable drawer).
• It is advisable not to keep the exotic fruits like
bananas, mangos, papayas etc. in the
refrigerator.
• Vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and
garlic should not be kept in the refrigerator.
• Butter and cheese: place in an airtight container
or wrap in an aluminium foil or a polythene bag
to exclude as much air as possible.
• Bottles: close them with a cap and place them
on the door bottle shelf, or (if available) on the
bottle rack.
• In order to accelerate cooling down of the
goods, it is advisable to turn on the fan. The
activation of DYNAMICAIR allows greater
homogenization of internal temperatures.
• Always refer to the expiry date of the products
to know how long to keep them.
DEFROSTING OF THE REFRIGERATOR
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compartment during
normal use. The defrost water drains out through a
trough into a special container at the back of the
appliance, over the motor compressor, where it
evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost water
drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator
compartment channel to prevent the water
overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.
For this purpose use the tube cleaner provided with
the appliance.
DEFROSTING OF THE FREEZER
The freezer compartment is frost free. This means
that there is no build up of frost when it is in
operation, neither on the internal walls, nor on the
foods.
