Vegetable drawer
The vegetable drawer is designed for
preserving fruit and vegetables.
The shelf on top of the vegetable drawer is
fitted with a device featuring slots which can
be adjusted by means of a lever. The purpose
of this device is to delay the dehydration of
fruit and vegetables, keeping them fresh and
thus prolonging their preservation life.
If you have to remove this shelf (when
cleaning, for instance), make sure you
reposition it correctly.

How to freeze
Your appliance is marked with the industry-
standard 4 stars
, meaning you
can store your own fresh foods and cooked
dishes inside it.
Freezing food means lowering its core
temperature to -18°C as quickly as possible.
To do so:
1. Set the freezer compartment thermostat
to the “COLDER” setting.
3 hours before placing fresh food −
inside the appliance if it is empty
(on commissioning, for instance).
24 hours* before placing fresh food −
inside the appliance if it contains frozen
food, and if you are using the maximum
freezing capacity.
2. Maintain the freezer setting for 24 hours*
after placing the food for freezing inside it.
3. Now return the appliance to a
preservation setting by adjusting the
thermostat to a middle setting.
* These time frames can be reduced in proportion to the
quantity of food to be frozen.
To freeze under the best conditions:
Observe the freezing capacity of your
appliance, namely the maximum quantity of
fresh food which can be frozen in 24 hours.
The freezing capacity of your appliance
is specified in the section entitled
“Technical characteristics”.
Avoid storing fresh produce directly in contact
with frozen foods.
Preserving shop-bought frozen and
deep-frozen foods
For the correct preservation of frozen and deep-
frozen foods, the temperature inside the freezer
compartment should be kept at -18°C or less.
Make sure the food packaging is intact and
that there are no signs of moisture, which
indicates defrosting has begun.
Plan the shortest transportation time between
the food store and your home. Use insulated
shopping bags (wherever possible).
Find the date of preparation of the item and
keep to the manufacturer’s recommended
preservation time.
Avoid opening the freezer compartment
door too often and only leave it open for the
requisite amount of time.
An increase in temperature could drastically
reduce the preservation life of food.
