The Freshbox has been specially designed to stay at a low temperature and at the correct humidity
so that fresh food (for example meat, fish and winter vegetables) can be stored for longer.
Switching the compartment on and off
If the compartment is switched on, the inside temperature will be about 0°C.
The Freshbox can be switched on by pressing
the corresponding button (see figure) for at
least one second. The symbol lights up to
confirm it is switched on.
The illuminated symbol indicates that the
compartment for meat and fish is in operation.
To switch off the Freshbox, press the button
again for 1 second.
To ensure the Freshbox works properly:
- the refrigerator must be switched on,
- the temperature in the refrigerator must be between +2°C and +6°C,
- the compartment must be in its correct place so that it can be activated,
- the special functions (Stand-by, Cooling-Off, Vacation - if applicable) must be switched off.
If one of these special functions is selected, the Freshbox must be switched off manually. When
doing so, make sure that any fresh food stored inside is removed. If the compartment is not switched
off manually, it is automatically deactivated after approximately 8 hours.
Note:
- If the symbol does not switch on when the compartment is activated, check that the compartment
has been pushed in properly. If the symbol still does not light up, call the After-Sales Service.
- If the compartment is switched on and the drawer is opened, the symbol on the control panel may
automatically go out. Close the drawer and the symbol will light up again.
- Regardless of the status of the compartment, a quiet sound will be audible. This is completely
normal.
- If the compartment is switched off, its inside temperature will depend on the overall temperature
of the refrigerator. In this case, it is recommended to use the Freshbox to store cold-resistant fruit
and vegetables (forest fruits, apples, apricots, carrots, spinach, salad, etc.)
Note: if food with a high water content is stored in the Freshbox when it is switched on, this can
cause condensation to form on the shelves. If this happens, switch the Freshbox off temporarily.
When storing small items of food and containers in the Freshbox, make sure that they do not
accidentally fall in the space between the drawer and the rear panel of the refrigerator.
Removing the Freshbox:
The Freshbox can be taken out to make more room in the
refrigerator. To do this, proceed as follows:
- To make removal easier, it is recommended to empty
(and possibly remove) the two lower shelves.
- Switch off the compartment.
- Remove the drawer and the white plastic tray under the
compartment.
Note: The upper shelf and the side panels cannot be
removed.
Make sure when reinstalling the Freshbox that the white plastic tray under the compartment is put
back before inserting the drawer and switching on again. To optimise energy use, it is recommended
to switch off and remove the Freshbox.
Clean the compartment and its components regularly with a cloth and a solution of lukewarm water
and special neutral cleaning agent for cleaning the inside of refrigerators. Do not immerse the white
plastic shelf under the drawer in the water.
Remove the drawer prior to cleaning (including external cleaning), to interrupt the power
supply to the compartment.
Do not use any abrasive cleaners.
