Appliance interior equipment ( * Equipment depends on the model) Shelf You can lay out the empty shelves to your liking across the guides in the refrigerator interior without having to remove them from the refrigerator. To move the shelf or take it out from the refrigerator, slightly lift it at the back, pull it towards you, and then either move it or take it out of the appliance.
For a temperature around 0 °C in the FreshZone/ZeroZone drawer, we recommend setting the refrigerator compartment temperature to 4 °C or lower. Temperature in the FreshZone/ZeroZone drawer may fall below 0 °C. Therefore, place the temperature-sensitive food in the upper parts of the refrigerator.
Door racks Interior side of the refrigerator door is fitted with shelves intended for storing cheese, butter, eggs, yoghurt, and other smaller packages, tubes, cans etc. You may lay out the racks as desired by lifting them slightly from the grooves that hold them in place and moving them to the desired spot, making sure to fit them in the grooves there.
Freezer drawer The appliance has two drawers in the freezer compartment. They are suitable for freezing and storing foodstuffs. In both drawers there is a tray at the top, which is withdrawn from the device every time the drawer is opened. You can push this tray back into the device or take it out.

Defrosting the appliance Automatic refrigerator defrosting Refrigerator does not need defrosting because the ice on the back interior wall is thawed automatically. Any accumulated ice will melt when the compressor unit is inactive. Drops will flow through an opening in the refrigerator rear wall into a tray fitted above the compressor, from where they will evaporate. Make sure the opening in the back wall in the refrigerator interior is never blocked by food or any other object.
