Appropriate use of the appliance, appropriate food
packaging, maintaining the appropriate temperature
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 appliance.
• 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.
• Interior side of the refrigerator door is fi tted with racks and bins
intended for storing cheese, butter, eggs, yoghurt, and other smaller
packages, tubes, cans, etc. The lower part of the door is fi tted with a
bottle rack.
