4. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

4.1 FAB 28

Refrigerator (A)

: compartment for storing fresh

foods

Freezer compartment (B)

: compartment for

storing frozen foods and for freezing fresh foods.

To open the door, pull the handle towards you.
(see diagram below)

To close, push the door towards its hook and
check that it snaps shut.

4.2 Shelves

each refrigerator comes complete with several shelves which can be set at different heights by placing
them on the runners provided. Each shelf has a safety fitting to prevent it from being pulled completely
out or accidentally removed. To remove it from the appliance, lift it at the back and extract it. Then
change the position of the shelf or shelves as you require. For easy removal of all internal accessories,
the door has to be opened completely.

4.3 Bottle shelf

Like ordinary shelves, the bottle shelf can also be set at different heights.
It can be fitted into the refrigerator compartment in two different positions:
horizontally or with the front part raised so that the bottles can be placed on
a slant. To remove the bottle shelf, lift it at the back and pull it outward.

Warning: if you wish to place bottles of above-average length on the
bottle shelf, it must be set at a height which will not prevent the door
from being closed properly.

4.4 Refrigerator compartment defrosting water drain

The rear of the refrigerator compartment, underneath the refrigerating plate, has a channel and a hole
for collecting the defrosting water.  To ensure the refrigerator can function properly, take care never to
block this hole. It is best to check and clean it fairly regularly using a piece of stiff wire.

4.5 Fruit and vegetable box

this container is at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment, which is fitted with a glass shelf to cover
fresh foods that require constant humidity for optimum storage.
