as low-temperature defrosting prevents any proliferation of
GB
microorganisms, while protecting its taste and organoleptic
properties.
It is not suitable for fruit, vegetables and green salad. But it can be
used for fresh or very fresh dairy products and milk, stuffed fresh
pasta and even cooked food or leftovers.

compartment, it may happen that the automatic drawer closure
mechanism is deactivated. To reactivate it, simply close the drawer
a little more forcefully than is usually necessary.

odour free. In order to maintain an odour free refrigerator and to
prevent the formation of stains, food must always be covered or
sealed properly.

time, clean the inside and leave the doors open.
Replacing the light bulb
Thanks to the powerful light it emits, the new LED lighting system
