- Within the refrigerator compartment, the air circulates natu-
rally, with the colder air falling because it is heavier. This is
the reason why meat and cheeses should be placed above
the vegetable crisper.
- Please follow our instructions carefully on maximum stor-
age time: any food, even the freshest, will not remain edible
for any extended amount of time.
- Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not store any
longer than raw food.
- Do not place liquids in containers without covering them
because this will lead to an increase in the level of moisture
within the refrigerator, causing the formation of frost.
- Remember to cool hot food before storing otherwise the
temperature inside the appliance will increase, causing the
compressor to work harder and use more energy.
- Be careful not to place containers (plastic or glass),
food or other objects in direct contact with the cool-
ing area of the back wall of the refrigerator. This could
harm the food, increase energy consumption and fa-
cilitate the formation of condensate (on food, contain-
ers, etc.).
- The refrigerator compart-
ment is equipped with con-
venient, removable shelves
(Fig. 1) which can be adjusted
for height using the shelf
guides. This allows you to
place even large containers
and foodstuffs in the refrig-
erator.
Freezing Foods Properly
- For the preparation of food to be frozen, please con-
sult a specialized manual.
- Food that has be thawed, even partially, must not be re-
frozen: you must cook it in order to consume it (within 24
hours) or to freeze it once again.
- Fresh foods that you intend to freeze must not be placed in
contact with those that are already frozen or those that have
been fast-frozen. Rather, they must placed atop the grate in
the freezer compartment, in contact with the walls of the
compartment (back or side) if possible. Please keep in mind
that proper conservation of frozen foods depends on the speed
with which they are frozen.
- During the freezing process, avoid opening the door of the
freezer.
- The maximum daily quantity of food that can be frozen is
indicated on the rating plate located to the left of the veg-
etable crisper.

Play Zone
(Fig. 2)
Thanks to the new "Play Zone" bottle rack, you can cool
several bottles, cans and energy drinks quickly to have them
constantly at hand.
If the "Play Zone" is placed on the glass shelf, you can store
large and medium sized bottles on it simply by laying the
bottle on the flat rack. This is ideal for storing wine bottles.
When folded and secured in place on either side of the shelf,
the rack can be used to store cans (at the top), energy drinks
(in the centre) and other cans and energy drinks can be rested
horizontally on the remaining part of the shelf. When placing
cans (onto the Play zone rack), make sure they do not
touch the back of the refrigerator interior.
The "Play Zone" can be used just like a normal shelf (when
placed flat) and moved up or down along the fridge walls
together with the rest of the shelf. It can be washed easily,
and is also dishwasher safe. The ideal position for the Play
zone rack is the central shelf.

- In order to freeze and then thaw foods optimally, it is rec-
ommended that you divide food into small portions so that
they freeze quickly and uniformly. The packages should be
clearly marked with the content and the date they were
frozen.
- Do not open the freezer door in the event of a power
failure or malfunction. This precaution will slow the rise in
temperature within the compartment. If the door is not
opened, frozen and fast-frozen foods will remain in their
current state for approximately 9-14 hours.
- Do not place full bottles in the freezer: they could easily
burst because all liquids increase in volume when they freeze.
- If the ambient temperature remains below 14°C for an
extended period of time, the temperature needed for ex-
tended storage of food in the freezer will not be reached,
resulting in reduced storage life of the food.
