WARNING:
To avoid risk of explosion, do not store explosive substances in the appliance.

When purchasing food, please note:
The “purchase freshness” is important for the shelf- life of your food. When buying food, always pay attention to the degree of freshness. Spoiled food or food close to the expiration date will decay faster even refrigerated and may contaminate the drawer with unpleasant odors.

Arranging food in the appliance

• Wrap or cover food before placing in the appliance. This will retain the aroma, color and freshness of the food. In addition, flavors will not be transferred between foods and the plastic parts will not become discolored.
• Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance.
• Do not block air outlet/inlet openings with food in the refrigerator compartment, otherwise the air circulation will be impaired. Food which is stored directly in front of the air outlet openings may be frozen by the cold air flowing out.
• Avoid contact of oil and fat with the plastic parts and door seal.

Drawer partitions
The upper drawer has 1 aluminum partition which is removable, and can be placed in 3 different positions vertically and 2 different positions horizontally using the different dimples on the side of the drawers as shown in the pictures:
