When the Mode 5 or Mode 3 indicator light flashes continuously, it indicates a fault in the refrigerator. In such a case, please contact the after-sales service for assistance.

Cautions for use

• The appliance may not operate steadily (there is a possibility that it may defrost or the temperature may rise too high inside) if it is placed for a prolonged period of time below the cold limit of the climatic range for which the appliance is designed.
  • Information on the climate range can be found on the rating plate.
• The internal temperature may be affected by factors such as the location of the appliance, ambient temperature, how often the door is opened, etc. The setting of any temperature control device may have to be varied to take these factors into account.
  • Effervescent beverages should not be stored in the freezer compartment (if present).

Some products such as ice cream should not be consumed too cold, as they may cause burns from direct cold contact.

Location of food storage

Due to the circulation of cold air inside the appliance, the temperature of each area is different, so different types of food should be placed in different areas.

The refrigerator compartment is suitable for storage of food that does not need to be frozen, cooked food, beverages, eggs, some condiments that need to be kept cold, etc. The vegetable drawer (if available) is suitable for the storage of vegetables, fruits, etc. The freezer compartment is suitable for the storage of ice cream, frozen food and food that will be kept for a long time.

Use of the refrigerator compartment

• Refrigerator door shelves and balconies (if fitted): To remove a glass shelf, lift it slightly, slide it towards you and remove it from its position. To remove a door shelf, lift it slightly and remove it from its place. Avoid food coming into contact with the rear wall. When removing or placing shelves or racks, please hold them firmly and handle them with care to avoid damage.
• Vegetable box (if available): Pull out the vegetable drawer to access the food. If you are going to clean the cover of the vegetable drawer, be sure to put it back in place so that the internal temperature of the drawer is not affected, thus preventing the food inside from deteriorating.
• Vegetable drawer humidity regulator (if fitted): The humidity regulator is used to conserve the humidity inside the vegetable crisper, thus keeping the vegetables and fruits stored inside fresh. When the regulator is set to the right side, with more exposed holes, the internal humidity is kept at a low value. When the regulator is set to the left side, with fewer exposed holes, the internal humidity level of the drawer is high.

High level of humidity Low level of humidity

Storage of fruit and vegetables

In the case of appliances with a cold compartment, a statement should be made to the effect that some types of fresh fruit and vegetables are sensitive to cold and are therefore not suitable for storage in this type of compartment.

Use of the FRIDGE compartment (if available)

This is the ideal place to store meat, sausage, fish, dairy products, eggs and cooked dishes, as well as bread, pastries and bakery products.

Storing food in the refrigerator compartment

• Preferably store food that is fresh and in perfect condition. In this way, they will retain their quality and freshness for longer.
• In the case of pre-cooked products or packaged foods, pay special attention to the best-before or use-by dates indicated by the manufacturer.
• It is also advisable to wrap or cover food well before placing it in the refrigerator so that it retains its aroma, colour and flavour. This also prevents flavour transfer from one food to another or discolouration of plastic parts in the refrigerator compartment.
• Allow hot food or beverages to cool to room temperature before placing them in the refrigerator compartment.

Note: Do not obstruct or block the air outlet openings with foodstuffs to allow free circulation of air. Food placed in the vicinity of the air outlet openings may freeze as a result of the cold air coming out of the air outlet openings.

WARNING! Depending on the air circulation inside the refrigerator compartment, different cooling zones are created in the refrigerator compartment:

• The coldest areas are located in front of the air outlet openings. Store the most delicate foods (fish, sausages, meat) in the coldest zones.
• The least cold zone is located in the upper part of the back door. It is advisable to store cured cheese and butter, for example, in this zone. In this way the aged cheese can release its aroma and the butter will be easier to spread on bread.

Use of the FREEZER (if available)

The freezer compartment is suitable for storing deep-frozen products, preparing and storing ice cubes and freezing fresh food.

Note: Always make sure that the freezer door is closed and sealed completely. If it is not properly closed, food may thaw. Heavy frost build-up occurs in the freezer compartment.

WARNING! Before cleaning, unplug the power plug first; Do not connect or disconnect the power plug with wet hands, as there is a risk of electric shock and injury. Do not spill water directly on the appliance, thus avoiding rust, electricity leakage and accidents.

Internal and external cleaning

Food residues in the interior can cause a bad smell, so it should be cleaned regularly. Infiniton brand suggests that you clean the interior at least once a month.

Remove all interior elements (shelves, drawers, etc.) and clean with a soft towel or sponge dampened with warm water. Wipe off dust accumulated on the surface of the appliance frequently.

After using detergent, be sure to rinse it with clean water and then wipe it dry with a cloth.

WARNING! Do not use bristle brushes, wire brushes, detergent, soap powder, alkaline detergent, benzene, gasoline, acid, hot water and other corrosive or soluble elements to clean the surface of the appliance, door gasket, plastic decorative parts, etc. to avoid damage. Carefully dry the door seal, clean the groove with a wooden stick wrapped with cotton thread.

¿What to do if there is a failure in the power supply or cooling system?

• Try to open the appliance door as little as possible, so that food can be stored safely and freshly for hours even in summer.
• If you receive the power cut warning in advance:
• Set the thermostat to the highest setting one hour in advance, so that the food is completely frozen (Do not store new food during this time!). Restore the temperature to the original setting when the power supply comes back on.
• You can also make ice in an airtight container and put it inside the appliance to extend the storage time of fresh food.
