Store milk products in the intended compartment in the refrigerator.

Bottles can be stored in the bottle holder or in the bottle shelf of the door.

Raw meat is best kept in a polyethylene bag at the second shelf from the top of the refrigerator.

Allow hot foods and beverages to cool to room temperature prior to placing them in the refrigerator.

It is suggested not to keep frozen food over crisper cover for thawing purposes.

The other shelves can be used for thawing purposes.

Attention

Store concentrated alcohol only standing upright and tightly closed.

Attention

Do not store explosive substances or containers with flammable propellant gases (canned cream, spray cans etc.) in the appliance. There is a danger of explosion.

Freezing

Freezing food

The freezing area is marked with the ★ symbol.

You can use the appliance for freezing fresh food as well as for storing pre-frozen food. Please refer to the recommendations given on the packaging of your food.

Attention

Do not freeze fizzy drinks, as the bottle may burst when the liquid in it is frozen.

Be careful with frozen products such as coloured ice-cubes.

Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 hours. See Technical Features leaflet.

In order to maintain the quality of the food, the freezing must be effected as rapidly as possible.

Thus, the freezing capacity will not be exceeded, and the temperature inside the freezer will not rise.

Attention

Keep the already deep-frozen food always separated with freshly placed food.

When deep-freezing hot food, the cooling compressor will work until the food is completely frozen. This can temporarily cause excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment.

If you find the freezer or fresh food door difficult to open just after you have closed it, don't worry. This is due to the pressure difference which will equalize and allow the door to open normally after a few minutes.

You will hear a vacuum sound just after closing the door. This is quite normal.

Making ice cubes

Fill the ice-cube tray 3/4 full with water and place it in the freezer.

As soon as the water has turned into ice, you can take out the ice cubes.

Never use sharp objects such as knives or forks to remove the ice cubes. There is a risk of injury!

Let the ice cubes slightly thaw instead, or put the bottom of the tray in water for a short moment.

Defrosting of the device

The appliance is a frost free refrigerator. So there will not be any frost accumulation inside the food storage area.

However there will be an automatic defrost at the evaporation area of the appliance when it needs. The water drains into reservoir at the back of the appliance and evaporates automatically through the compressor heat.

Ensure that the reservoir is fixed properly above the compressor.

Warnings!

The fans inside the freezer and fresh food compartments circulate cold air. Never insert any object through the guard. Do not allow children to play with the fresh food and freezer fan.

Never store products that contain inflammable propellant gas (eg dispensers, spray cans etc.) or explosive substances.

• Don't cover the shelves with any protective materials, which may obstruct air circulation.
• Do not allow children to play with the appliance or tamper with the controls.

Do not obstruct the fan guards to ensure that you obtain the best possible performance from your appliance. (Item 9 and Item 10)

Warning!

Your appliance is fitted with 2 circulating fans which are essential for the performance of the refrigerator. Please ensure the fans are not blocked (stopped) or impaired by food or packaging. Blocking (stopping) or impairing the fan can result in an increase of the internal freezer temperature (Thawing).

Replacing the interior light bulb (Item 11)

In case that the light bulb is out of function it is easily to replace. First make sure that the refrigerator / freezer is disconnected from the power supply by removing the plug. Take a flat screwdriver and keep it carefully without force into the left gap between lamp cover and internal cabinet. Then press the handle of the screwdriver carefully to the left side until you notice that the left pin of the cover is disengaged. Repeat this procedure on the right gap, however now press the handle of the screwdriver carefully to the right side. If both sides are loosened the cover can be removed easily.

Ensure that bulb is screwed securely in the bulb holder. Plug the appliance into the power supply. If the light still fails, replace E14 screw-cap type 15 Watt (Max) bulb from your local electrical store and then fit it. Carefully dispose of the burnt-out light bulb immediately.

If you have changed the light bulb please fix the cover again in it's former position. Take care that the cover snaps-in correctly.

Defrosting the refrigerator

In this refrigerator, no ice is formed. Therefore, in the area for storing food, it does not accumulate.

Due to the high humidity in the evaporator area, automatic defrosting is triggered. The water flows into the tray behind the refrigerator and evaporates from the heat of the compressor.

Make sure that the tray is correctly attached to the compressor.

The fans in the freezer compartment and in the fresh food compartment ensure the circulation of cold air. Never place objects in the air vents. Do not allow children to play with the fans in the freezer compartment and in the fresh food compartment. Never store containers in the refrigerator that emit easily flammable gases (for example, aerosols, aerosol cans, etc.) or explosive substances.

Do not cover the shelves with any materials that could obstruct the circulation of air.

Do not allow children to play with the appliance or touch the control elements.

Do not block the fan grille to ensure optimal product performance of the refrigerator. (Item 9.10)

Warning!

Your refrigerator is equipped with 2 fans for air circulation, which are necessary for its normal operation. Ensure that the fans are not blocked (clogged) or covered by products or packaging. Blocking (clogging) or obstructing the fan operation can lead to an increase in the temperature of the freezer compartment (to defrosting).

Replacing the interior lighting lamp (item 11)

If the interior lighting lamp burns out, it is easy to replace. First, make sure that the refrigerator / freezer is disconnected from the electrical grid, unplugging the plug from the socket.

Remove all products from the door shelves. Lift the shelf cover and slide it out. Remove the lower part of the door shelf by pressing on it from below.

Storage compartment (crisper):

The crisper drawer must be completely clean before use.

Carefully disconnect the drawer from the compressor by pressing on it with something like a screwdriver, then pull out the drawer.

Lift the drawer, wash it, then wipe it dry.

Install it in the reverse order.

Container or drawer:

To remove the drawer, pull it out as far as possible, then tilt it upwards and pull it out completely (items 7-8).

Cooling

Fresh products or vegetables, before placing them in the container, need to be washed. Place products in the refrigerator in packaging, closed or in appropriate containers. - Products that do not store best at low temperatures (pineapples, melons, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc.) should be placed in the crisper drawer. - Products that have a strong odor or can absorb other odors should be packaged in airtight or odor-proof material. - To prevent bacterial contamination, keep fresh products separate from cooked food. Do not keep fresh meat in the refrigerator for more than two or three days. - Remove leftover canned goods from the tin and place them in suitable containers. - Pay attention to the storage dates indicated on product packaging. - Do not block the air circulation inside the appliance by overfilling. Never store unsafe or spoiled food in the appliance. - Always check the suitability of products that have been stored for a long time. Do not store fresh and ready-to-eat products in the same container. - To prevent excessive energy consumption, close the doors immediately after opening them. - Do not use sharp or pointed objects to remove ice that has accumulated. - Do not place hot products in the refrigerator.

Freezing

• To make products last longer, place them in the compartment where the temperature is lowest.
• When freezing fresh products, do not exceed the maximum freezing capacity (see section "Freezing").
• Do not give children ice cream or ice water directly from the refrigerator.

Low temperature can cause frostbite.

• Never refreeze products that have been thawed. Such products need to be consumed within 24 hours. Refreezing is only allowed after cooking.
• Do not touch frozen products with wet hands.
• Place only fresh and quality products in the refrigerator.
• Always package products in material that prevents the penetration of odors and the drying out of products.
• Store products that are sold frozen according to the instructions on the packaging.
• Freeze products that have undergone cooking in small quantities. This ensures quick freezing and preservation of quality.
• Do not freeze liquids in tightly sealed bottles or other containers.

High temperature alarm can occur in the following situations:

a) storing products; b) warm air entering the freezer compartment; c) the freezer compartment door being left open.

Door reversal

The design of the refrigerator door allows you to change the opening direction to either side, whichever is more convenient for you. If you want the door to open in the opposite direction, contact the nearest authorized service center.
