- The air circulates naturally, with the colder air falling be-
cause it is heavier. This is the reason why meat and cheese
should be placed above the vegetable crisper.
-  Please follow our instructions carefully on maximum stor-
age time: any food, even the freshest, will not remain edible
for any extended amount of time.
- Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not store any
longer than raw food.
- Do not store liquids in containers without covering them
because this will lead to an increase in the level of moisture
within the refrigerator, causing the formation of frost.
- Be careful not to place containers (plastic or glass), food or
other objects in direct contact with the cooling area of the
back wall of the refrigerator. This could harm the food, in-
crease energy consumption and facilitate the formation of
condensate (on food, containers, etc.).
- The refrigerator compartment is equipped with convenient,
removable shelves (Fig. 1) which can be adjusted for height
using the shelf guides. This allows you to place large items in
the refrigerator.

The side bottle rack can be used either for storing a bottle
(Fig. 2)  or several cans (2-4) placed horizontally (Fig. 3). If
not in use, the bottle/can rack can be tipped up and away to
make more room inside the refrigerator.
