The humidity can be infinitely adjusted:
– Small humidity Symbol (left) low humidi-
ty (about 45%)
– Large humidity symbol (right) higher
humidity (max. 90%)

The humidity in the special compartment
depends on:
– Quantity and moisture content of the
stored food products
– Type of packaging
– Compartment opening frequency
packaging
The special drawer is particularly well
suited to storing:
– berries, leaf salad, vegetables, fruit,
mushrooms etc. (high air humidity set-
ting, symbol on right)
– meat, fish, poultry, sausage, etc. (low air
humidity setting, symbol on left)
Note:
The special compartment should not be
used for potatoes, hard cheese, cold-
sensitive vegetables such as aubergines,
beans, cucumbers, pumpkins, chillies,
tomatoes, courgettes.
All cold-sensitive tropical fruits such as
pineapple, avocados, bananas, grapefruits,
mangos, melons, papayas, passion fruit,
etc. should be stored in closed compart-
ments in the fridge (to prevent drying out).
Defrosting
The refrigerator defrosts completely auto-
matically, thus melting any ice that has built
up on the back panel. This happens approx.
twice a day depending on how often and
for how long the door is opened. During
the defrosting procedure the temperature
in the refrigerator rises so that the ice on
the back panel defrosts completely. After
defrosting, the temperature drops back to
the original setting. The water flows out
through a drain hole and evaporates in the
collecting tray outside the device.
Be sure to keep the collection channel and
the drainage channel clean, so that the
melted water can flow out easily.
Defrost the freezer compartment if the ice
formation becomes excessive. A thick coa-
ting of ice reduces the effectiveness of the
cold transfer to the frozen products.
Keep the frozen products as cold as pos-
sible and well insulated during the defros-
ting time, e.g. pack them in newspaper.
Attention: do not use sharp implements to
remove ice or anything hard frozen. Do
not use an electrical heater or an open fla-
me for defrosting.
– Turn off the appliance by using the main
switch
– Pull out the water drain hole (Figure
– Place water catcher under the defrosted
water drainage channel (Figure
– Leave the doors open.
– After defrosting clean the interior and
dry it thoroughly.
– Turn on the appliance by using the main
switch)
