Refrigerator compartment defrosting water drain
The rear of the refrigerator compartment, underneath the refrigerating plate,
has a channel and a hole for collecting the defrosting water. To ensure the
refrigerator can function properly, take care never to block this hole. It is best to
check and clean it fairly regularly using a piece of stiff wire.
Fruit and vegetable box
This container is at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment, which is fitted
with a glass shelf to cover fresh foods that require constant humidity for
optimum storage.
Door shelves and containers
The inside of the door is fitted with special shelves and boxes to take eggs,
butter, dairy products, tubes, preserves and other small packages. The bottom
of the door has a shelf to take vertical bottles.
All door shelves and boxes can be removed for cleaning. To remove the shelves
tap upward with your hand first, on one side of the insertion zone and then on
the other side. Do not place excessively heavy bottles on the bottle shelf. Place
bottles on the shelf gently when loading them. When removing bottles do not
pull them in a diagonal direction as this may over-strain the retainer rod.
Inside lighting
When the refrigerator door is opened, the light comes on; it remains on until the
door is completely closed again. The light comes on even if the refrigerator
thermostat is set on "0" (stop), meaning that the refrigerator is switched off.
Arranging foods inside the refrigerator compartment
Arrange the foods on the various shelves, taking care that they have an
airtight wrapping or cover. This precaution will:
conserve foods' fragrance, moisture and freshness;
-
prevent the cross-contamination of foods with different aromas and tastes;
-
prevent the humidity level inside the refrigerator becoming too high
-
because of the normal breathing of food (especially fresh fruit and
vegetables). In some operating conditions (rise in ambient temperature
and humidity, more frequent opening of the door) this might cause
condensation to form on the shelves.
Use only containers approved for food storage. Always allow hot foods and
drinks to cool to room temperature before placing them inside the
refrigerator.
Never store explosive substances in the appliance and only store high-
alcohol drinks firmly sealed and vertical.
