Vegetable drawer with humidity control
The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and
vegetables.
Place the separator inside the drawer in
different positions to allow for the subdivi-
sion best suited to personal needs.
The grille (if foreseen) on the bottom of the
drawer separates the fruit and vegetables
from any humidity that may form on the
bottom surface.
Remove all parts inside the drawer for
cleaning purposes.
To regulate the humidity in the vegetable
drawer the glass shelf incorporates a de-
vice with slits (adjustable by means of a
sliding lever).
When the ventilation slots are closed:
the natural moisture content of the food in
the fruit and vegetable compartments is
preserved for longer.
When the ventilation slots are opened:
more air circulation results in a lower air
moisture content in the fruit and vegetable
compartments.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
3.1
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than absolutely
necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and
the Temperature Regulator is set to low
temperature and the appliance is fully
loaded, the compressor may run con-
tinuously, causing frost or ice on the
evaporator. If this happens, set the
Temperature Regulator toward warmer
settings to allow automatic defrosting
and so a saving in electricity consump-
tion.

Hints for fresh food
refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating
liquids in the refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if
it has a strong flavour

freely around it
