and observing the hygienic guidelines will affect
decisively the quality of food storage.
Observe the best before dates indicated on the
product packaging.
Food stored in the refrigerator should be placed in
closed containers or otherwise suitably packed to
prevent emitting scent and moisture.
Do not store infl ammable, volatile, and explosive
substances in the refrigerator.
Bottles with high alcohol content should be tightly
sealed and stored in an upright position.
Some organic solutions, essential oils in lemon and
orange peel, butter acid, etc. may damage the plastic
surfaces in case of a prolonged contact, causing
premature ageing of these materials.
Unpleasant smell warns of poor appliance cleanliness
or deteriorated food (see Cleaning and Maintenance).
Remove perishables from the refrigerator before a
longer period of absence from home.
The equipment depends on the models.
• The shelves can be inserted to any of the shelf guides in the
refrigerator interior. They are protected against pulling out.
To remove a shelf from the refrigerator, lift is slightly at the
front, tilt as required, and pull it out. Food that perishes quickly
should be kept at the back of the shelf where the temperatures
are lower.
• Certain models are equipped with wire bottle rack which
enables placing of bottles on the cork. It is safeguarded
against pulling out. It may be pulled out only if empty, by lifting
the front part and pulling it towards you. Place the bottle rack
in the appliance in such way to avoid obstruction of door
closing by the length of the stacked bottles.
Maximum load of the rack is 9 bottles of 0,75 l, or 13 kg of total
mass - see label at the right side of the interior of the ppliance.
• The bin / drawer at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment,
under the glass shelf, is intended for storing fruit and
vegetables. It provides humidity, thus preventing the food from
dehydrating. The food must be appropriately packaged in
order to prevent emitting or receiving smell and moisture.
