PureWindmaximisesaircirculation,improvingtheefficiencyof
theevaporatorandhelpingtoachievetheoptimaltemperature
insidetherefrigeratorasquicklyaspossibleeachtimeithas
beenopened.Theblownair(A)iscooledwhenitcomesinto
contactwiththecoldwall,whereasthehotterair(B)issucked
up (see diagram).
Static
ModelswithouttheAircoolerhavethecoolingsectionin
theinternalbackwallofthecompartments.Thewallwillbe
coveredinfrostorwaterdropletsdependingonwhetherthe
compressorisoperatingorpaused:bothcasesarenormal.If
theTEMPERATUREADJUSTMENTknobhasbeensetonhigh
valueswithlargequantitiesoffoodandwithahighambient
temperature,theappliancecanoperatecontinuously,resulting
inexcessivefrostformationandexcessiveenergyconsumption:
compensateforthisbyshiftingtheknobtowardslowervalues
(defrostingwilloccurautomatically).
Instaticappliances,theaircirculatesinanaturalway:the
colderairtendstomovedownwardsasitisheavier.Thefood
shouldbestoredasfollows:
Food
Arrangement inside the
refrigerator
Fresh sh and meat Above the fruit and vegetable bins
Fresh cheese Above the fruit and vegetable bins
Cooked food On any shelf
Salami, loaves of bread,
chocolate
On any shelf
Fruit and vegetables
In the fruit and vegetable
compartment bins
Eggs On the shelf provided
Butter and margarine On the shelf provided
Bottles, drinks, milk On the shelves provided
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
• Placeonlycoldorlukewarmfoodsinthecompartment,not
hotfoods(see Precautions and tips).
• Rememberthatcookedfoodsdonotlastlongerthanraw
foods.
• Donotstoreliquidsinopencontainers.Theywillincrease
humidityintherefrigeratorandcausecondensationtoform.
Food hygiene
1. Onceyouhaveboughtyourfood,removeallexternal
packagingmadeofpaper/cardboardorotherwrappers,
whichcouldintroducebacteriaordirtinsideyour
refrigerator.
2. Protectthefood,(especiallyeasilyperishableitemsand
thosethathaveastrongsmell),inordertoavoidcontact
betweenthem,therebyremovingboththepossibilityof
germ/bacteriacontaminationaswellasthediffusionof
strongodoursinsidethefridge.
3. Storeallfoodinsuchawayastoensureaircancirculate
freelybetweendifferentitems.
4. Keeptheinsideofyourfridgeclean,takingcarenottouse
oxidiserorabrasiveproducts.
5. Removeallfoodpastitsexpirydatefromtherefrigerator.
6. Forthecorrectpreservationoffood,alleasilyperishable
items(softcheeses,rawfish,meat,etc.)shouldbestoredin
thecoldestzoneofthefridgecompartment,i.e.justabove
thesaladcrisperwherethetemperatureindicatorissituated.
Maintenance and care
