[. . . ] To ensure proper hygiene and good storage of fresh foods, they should always be stored in suitable containers. Any condensation found inside this part of the appliance does not indicate a malfunction; it may have been produced by the foods placed inside. 8. 7 Fixed door shelves These shelves are fixed to the door of the appliance and cannot be placed at different heights. Care must be taken that the foods placed in these compartments do not interfere with the movable shelves of the refrigerator section once the door is closed. Also take care over the top shelf: if the containers placed on it are too tall, once the door is closed they may damage the appliance's structure. 8. 8 Fixed bottle shelf This shelf is provided especially to take bottles standing upright. Do not place excessively heavy bottles on the shelf, and place bottles on it gently when loading them. Bottles containing high-proof alcoholic drinks must always be stored upright and securely sealed. 8. 9 Arranging foods inside the refrigerator section. Arrange the foods on the various shelves, taking care that they have an airtight wrapping or cover. This will preserve foods' fragrance, moisture and freshness, and also prevent the cross-contamination of foods with different aromas and tastes. It will also prevent the humidity level inside the refrigerator section becoming too high because of the normal breathing of food (especially fresh fruit and vegetables). In some operating conditions (rise in ambient temperature and humidity, more frequent opening of the door) this might cause condensation to form on the shelves. The best position for storing dairy products is just above the vegetable container (shelf on page 32), since this area has the lowest temperature of the entire refrigerator section. Always allow hot foods and drinks to cool to room temperature before placing them inside the refrigerator. The only foods which should be stored without wrapping are fresh fruit and vegetables, inside the container provided. Never store explosive substances in the appliance and only store high-proof alcoholic beverages firmly sealed. Paper or cardboard containers should not be placed straight onto the surface of the glass shelf: the condensation which may form inside the refrigerator section could damage the packaging. Remember that opening the door of the refrigerator section too often or for too long may cause foods to deteriorate. 34 Instructions for the User 9. FREEZER SECTION REMOVABLE TOP BASKET REMOVABLE MIDDLE BASKETS REMOVABLE MIDDLE BASKETS TIP-UP REMOVABLE BOTTOM BASKET 9. 1 Control panel (freezer section) 9. 1. 1 High temperature warning light This light comes on when the temperature inside the freezer section reaches 6 degrees above the set point. For example, if a temperature of -20 is set and the temperature inside the section reaches -14°C or above for any reason (power failure etc. ), the red light will come on while the display flashes, showing the set temperature and the maximum temperature reached inside the section, in alternation. To deactivate the warning light, simply press the key for a few seconds. If, due to a lengthy power failure, for example, the temperature inside the freezer section rises above 5°C, then the buzzer will sound in addition to illumination of the warning light. 9. 1. 2 Freezer zone on button At first switch-on, press this button to activate all the freezer section functions. After a power blackout, the functions set will be retained as they were before the blackout: - if the refrigerator section was off, it will remain off and the button will have to be pressed to start it; - if the freezer section was operating normally before the blackout, these functions will still be set. In case of especially lengthy blackouts, inspect the food: if the temperature inside the freezer section rises too much, its quality may be jeopardised.
