Humidity control
The glass shelf incorporates a device with slits
(adjustable by means of a sliding lever), which
makes it possible to regulate the temperature in
the vegetable drawer(s).
When the ventilation slots are closed:
the natural moisture content of the food in the
fruit and vegetable compartments is preserved for
longer.
When the ventilation slots are opened:
more air circulation results in a lower air moisture
content in the fruit and vegetable compartments.
this appliance is sold in France.
In accordance with regulations valid in this country it must be provided with a special
device (see figure) placed in the lower compartment of the fridge to indicate the coldest
zone of it.
Helpful hints and tips
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high, the Temperature Regulator is on the higher setting
and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost
or ice on the evaporator. If this happens, turn the Temperature Regulator toward lower
settings to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in electricity consumption.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour
• position food so that air can circulate freely around it
