Shelf

Shelves can be positioned on guides in the refrigerator interior. To move or remove a shelf, lift it slightly at the back, pull towards you, and then move or remove it. Store quickly perishable food at the back of the shelf where the temperature is lowest.

Bottle rack

• Some models have a wire bottle rack. It can only be pulled out when empty. Lift it slightly at the back and pull towards you. Ensure bottle length does not hinder door closing. The holder can take a maximum of nine 0.75-litre bottles or 13 kg total weight. Cans can also be placed on the bottle rack.

Fruit and vegetable drawer with humidity control

• This drawer is for storing fruit and vegetables, providing humidity and preventing drying.
• Humidity is regulated automatically based on the type and amount of food.

Pulling out the bin: To remove a drawer, pull it out as far as it will go (1). Lift the front part (2) and pull it out completely.

MultiZone drawer (Only in some models)

The MultiZone compartment allows storing a wide variety of fresh food for up to three times longer than in a conventional refrigerator, retaining flavour and nutrients. The temperature in this drawer depends on refrigerator settings, environment temperature, door opening frequency, and food amount.

For a temperature around 0 °C in the MultiZone drawer, set the refrigerator compartment to 4 °C or lower. Temperature in the ZeroZone drawer may fall below 0 °C. Place temperature-sensitive food in the upper refrigerator parts.

For optimum performance, the drawer should be fully closed.

• When buying food, ensure it is fresh for better quality and longer storage.
• Store food in closed containers or appropriate packaging to prevent odour and humidity transfer.
• Take food from the drawer 30-60 minutes before use to allow aroma and flavour to develop at room temperature.
• Food sensitive to low temperatures and not appropriate for the MultiZone drawer includes: pineapple, avocado, bananas, olives, potatoes, eggplant, cucumbers, beans, peppers, melons, watermelons, pumpkins, squash, zucchini, etc.

To remove the drawer: Pull out until blocked. Lift the front part and pull out completely.

Turning the MultiZone drawer into a fruit and vegetables drawer

If you need extra space for fruit and vegetables, you can convert your MultiZone drawer:

• To use as MultiZone: push the slider to the right.
• To use as fruit and vegetables drawer: move the slider to the left.

INFORMATION! When the Convert function is activated (indicator light above D symbol is lit), the drawer functions as a fruit and vegetable bin regardless of slider setting. If the slider is set to MultiZone, the drawer temperature will not be close to 0 °C, potentially causing food spoilage. Move temperature-sensitive food to a more suitable place.

Door racks

Interior side of the refrigerator door has shelves for storing cheese, butter, eggs, yoghurt, smaller packages, tubes, cans, etc. Shelves can be repositioned by lifting them slightly and moving them to desired spots.

The bottom rack is for bottles. Maximum load on each door shelf is 5 kg.

CoolFlow

The advanced CoolFlow fan system evenly distributes temperature throughout the refrigerator. Air mimics a natural microclimate that keeps food fresh longer. This system allows placing any type of food on any shelf, as there are no temperature differences between them.

AdaptTech

Innovative sensor technology adjusts appliance operation to user habits. The adaptive intelligent system monitors, analyzes, and records daily and weekly usage, adapting operation to perceived patterns. If increased door opening is anticipated, the appliance lowers the temperature beforehand to prevent temperature increases. It also anticipates adding larger amounts of food and adapts by cooling or freezing more intensively.

• Some organic solutions (e.g., lemon/orange oils, butyric acid) can degrade plastic over time.
• A disagreeable odour indicates the appliance is not clean or contains spoiled food (see Maintenance).
• Remove perishable foods when away from home for extended periods.

Freezing and storing foods in the freezer

Important recommendations for freezing fresh food:

• Maximum quantity per freezing cycle is on the type plate. Exceeding this slows freezing and reduces quality, potentially harming already frozen food.
• Use only good-quality fresh food suitable for freezing.
• Allow hot food to cool to room temperature.
• Food needs to be frozen quickly; use small packs.
• Use air and watertight packaging to prevent drying out and vitamin loss.
• Note food type, quantity, and freezing date on packaging.
• Do not allow fresh food to contact frozen food.
• Remove drawers for maximum freezer volume. Place food directly on shelves and the base.

Freezing large quantities of fresh food

• Activate intensive freezing 24 hours before freezing.
• To freeze quickly, lay out packages as follows: Divide into 1 kg packages. Place two packages against the back wall of the upper drawer (left and right edges), one in the middle of the upper drawer, and one in the middle drawer against the middle of the back wall.

Important recommendations for storing frozen food

• Follow manufacturer's instructions for storage and use. Note recommended storage temperature and use-by date.
• Use only food in undamaged packaging stored at -18 °C or lower.
• Do not buy food covered in frost, as it indicates thawing and inferior quality.
• Ensure food does not thaw during transport; temperature increases shorten storage life and harm quality.

Thawing frozen food

• Thawing is crucial for preserving frozen food. Thaw correctly.
• Suitable thawing methods: in the refrigerator; in cold water; in a microwave or conventional oven with a thaw program.
• Some frozen products can be prepared without thawing (check packaging).
• Food thaws faster when packed in small portions.
• Use partially or completely thawed food quickly, as bacteria reactivate and spoil food. This applies to fruit, vegetables, and ready-made food.
• Do not refreeze partially or completely thawed food.

Maintenance

Defrosting the appliance

Automatic defrost of the refrigeration compartment:

The refrigeration compartment defrosts automatically from time to time.

Defrosting of the NoFrost freezer:
