Storage shelves

Various glass storage shelves are included with your appliance.

The height of the storage shelves can be adjusted:
To do this pull the storage shelf forward until it can be swivelled 
upwards or downwards and removed.
Please do the same in reverse to insert the shelf at a different height.

VARIO glass storage shelf

Your appliance is equipped with two half
size glass storage shelves.
Storing tall items:
Slide the front half of the Vario storage
shelf in another level to the rear. By this 
means you will gain space to place tall
items on the storage shelf below.

Correct storage

This symbol means that deep-frozen food can be kept for

some months in the freezer compartment.
The length of storage time depends on the type of food - see manu-
facturer’s instructions.
However, small quantities of fresh foods can be frozen (see: “Freezing
and storage”).

Tip:

Food in the fridge should always be covered or packaged, to pre-

vent drying and tainting of other food.
The following are suited for packaging:
– Polyethylene airtight bags and wraps;
– Plastic containers with lids;
– Special plastic covers with elastic;
– aluminium foil.
