Cabinet interior
The shelves and door compartments are removable
and can easily be re-arranged.
Certain shelves must be lifted up by the rear edge to
enable them to be removed.
The lower door compartment and the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer must not be moved.
They are required for proper air circulation inside the
cabinet.
Shelves with a raised edge should be placed with the
raised edge facing the rear wall of the cabinet, and
thus prevent food products from touching the
cooling plate.
The vegetable drawer has a removable plate to
separate different vegetables.
