HOW TO STORE FRESH FOOD AND BEVERAGES
- The number and type of door balconies depends on the model
REFRIGERATION COMPARTMENT
Refrigerator compartment defrosting is completely automatic.
Droplets of water on the rear wall inside the refrigerator compartment indicate that the automatic defrost phase is in progress.
The defrost water is automatically run into a drain hole and collected in a container, where it evaporates.
**Fresh Zone 0°C drawer *
The Fresh Zone 0°C it is a drawer (b) ideal to store meat and fish. By decreasing/increasing the fridge temperature, you impact the Fresh Zone 0°C compartment temperature as well. Keep in mind that this compartment is a mechanical feature operating all the time and it cannot be switched off.
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
Total No Frost freezers provide chilled air circulation around the storage areas, and prevent the formation of ice, thereby completely eliminating the need for defrosting.
Frozen items don’t stick to the walls, labeling stays legible and storage space remains neat and clear.
The freezer compartment allows for the storage of frozen food and the freezing of fresh food. The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in a specific time period is indicated on the rating plate. Arrange the fresh food in the freezing area inside the freezer compartment, leaving enough space around it to allow air to circulate freely. Avoid allowing fresh food to come into direct contact with frozen food. Load limits are determined by baskets, flaps, drawers, shelves etc..
