Interior Accessories Variable Storage Box (not on all models, design differs depending on the model) Some models are equipped with a variable storage box which is fitted under a door shelf compartment and can be slid sideways. The box can be inserted under every door shelf compartment.
Food Storage Fridge Compartment The correct temperature for safe storage of fresh food inside is 0°C to 5°C (32°F to 41°F). The warmest parts of the fridge compartment are at the top storage rack, the vegetable basket and the storage compartments in the door. Food should always be covered or packaged.
• Smooth the air out of the bag before sealing; air makes it easier for the frozen food to dry out. • Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly. • Do not fill containers for frozen goods to the brim with liquid or paste–like goods, because liquids expand during freezing.
Defrosting your Appliance Fridge The fridge defrosts automatically. The rear wall of the fridge covers with frost when the compressor is running, and defrosts when the compressor is off. The defrost water is collected in the drain channel on the rear of the fridge, fed through the drain hole into the collection compartment in the base and then evaporated.
Hints and Tips Normal Operating Sounds • You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the cooling plate/evaporator. • When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the com- pressor.
