Temperature selection The temperature is set with the temperature selector. It is advisable to select a setting from 4 to 7, if the door is opened frequently, large quantities of food are stored in the refrigerator or there is a high ambient temperature. 13 Using the refrigerator efficiently Different storage zones Due to the natural circulation of the air in the appliance, there are different temperature zones in the refrigerator. Coldest area The coldest area in a refrigerator is directly above the vegetable containers. ­ fish, meat, poultry, ­ sausage products, ready meals, ­ dishes or baked goods containing eggs or cream, ­ fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or quiche dough, ­ soft cheese and other dairy products, ­ pre-packed vegetables and other fresh food with a label stating it should be kept at a temperature of approx. Food must not touch the back wall of the appliance, as it may freeze to the back wall. Do not store explosive materials in the appliance or any products containing propellants (e. g. If storing alcohol with a high percentage proof, make sure it is tightly closed, and store upright. If storing bottles of oil or food containing high levels of fat or oil in the appliance, take care not to let the oil or fat come into contact with plastic components. These can cause stress cracks to occur in the plastic components. Food which should not be stored in a refrigerator Not all food is suitable for storing in the refrigerator. These include: ­ Fruit and vegetables which are sensitive to cold, such as bananas, avocado pears, papaya, passion fruit, aubergines/eggplant, peppers/capsicum, tomatoes and cucumbers ­ Fruit which is not yet ripe ­ Potatoes ­ Some hard cheeses, e. g. Parmesan 14 Using the refrigerator efficiently Storing food correctly Store food covered or packaged. This will prevent food smells or tastes from affecting other foods, and prevent food from drying out and also any cross-contamination of bacteria. The growth of bacteria, such as salmonella, can be avoided by setting the correct temperature and maintaining good standards of hygiene. Fruit and vegetables Fruit and vegetables can be stored loose in the vegetable containers. However, you should bear in mind that some types of vegetables give off a natural gas which speeds up the rate at which food perishes. Some fruit and vegetables react strongly to this gas and should not be stored together. Examples of fruit which produce a large amount of this natural gas are: Apples, apricots, pears, nectarines, peaches, plums, avocado pears and figs. Examples of fruit and vegetables which react strongly to the natural gases given off by other types of fruit and vegetables are: Kiwis, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, mangos, honeydew melons, apples, apricots, cucumbers, tomatoes, pears, nectarines and peaches. 15 Adjusting the interior fittings Moving the shelves The shelves can be adjusted according to the height of the food. ^ Pull the shelf forward as far as it will go; then lift it upwards to remove it. ^ With the rear barrier facing upwards, place the shelf at the required position. The rear barrier must face upwards to prevent food from touching the back of the appliance and freezing to it. Adjusting the door shelves ^ Push the door shelf upwards, then remove it by pulling it forwards. Ensure that it is securely pushed back into position. Moving the bottle divider The bottle divider can be moved to the left or right to ensure that bottles are held securely in position when the door is opened and shut. Split shelf In order to accommodate tall items in the appliance, one of the shelves is divided. [. . . ] The colour of the correct replacement cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of the plug, or the colour that is embossed in words in the base of the plug (as applicable to the design of the plug fitted).

WARNING THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED 24 Installation Do not place any appliance which gives off heat, such as a toaster or microwave oven, on top of this appliance, as this would increase the appliance's energy consumption. Climate range SN N ST T SN - ST SN - T Ambient room temperature +10 °C to +32 °C +16 °C to +32 °C +18 °C to +38 °C +18 °C to +43 °C +10 °C to +38 °C +10 °C to +43 °C Important: Appliances without side wall heating must not be installed "side-by-side" next to another refrigerator or freezer. This could cause condensation and subsequent damage between the two appliances. Operating in a room which is too cold will cause the cooling system to switch off for too long causing the internal temperature in the appliance to rise with the risk of food deteriorating and going off. Location The appliance should be installed in a dry, well-ventilated room. [. . . ]
