Main Features
GB
Your fridge/freezer is fitted with several useful features, to help you store food as efficiently and as
hygienically as possible.
Feature
Auto-defrost
Description
When sufficient frost has accumulated in the fridge/freezer, the auto-defrost feature
starts up automatically. The frost is thawed and the thaw water is collected in an
evaporation tray, which allows it to evaporate.
This operation is fully automatic and requires no intervention by you.
Bio-deodoriser
(types A, B and F only)
This integrated ventilation system helps remove unwanted smells from the refrigerator,
by moving the air in such a way that smells cannot collect and contaminate the food.
The bio-deodoriser is located at the back of the refrigerator.
Chiller compartment
(types A, B, E and F only)
The chiller compartment freezes only the surface of the food to help:
◆
Preserve the taste of the food
Prolong the freshness
◆
Adjustable shelves
and containers
The accessories inside your fridge/freezer can be placed in the positions that best suit
your requirements and the food to be stored. The specially large compartments in the
bottom of the door are very practical when chilling bottles of drinks for example.
Model Specifications
The instructions in this booklet apply to several models and types. The
main differences between the models concern whether you have:
