- Do not use sharp objects to remove ice from the appliance. Use a plastic scraper.
- Any electrical operations required when maintaining the appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or another competent person.
- An approved maintenance centre should carry out maintenance on this appliance; Only original spare parts may be used.

1. If the appliance is equipped with a frost removal function.

2. If the appliance has a freezer compartment.

For hygiene reasons, the appliance (and its external and internal accessories) should be cleaned regularly (at least once every two months).

CAUTION

When cleaning, the appliance must be unplugged from the mains because of the risk of electric shock. Risk of electrocution! Before cleaning, switch off the appliance and remove the power plug from the mains socket.

Exterior cleaning

• Wipe the control panel with a soft, clean cloth.
• Spray water on the cleaning cloth rather than directly on the surface of the appliance. This will moisten the surface evenly.
• Clean the doors, handles and surfaces of the appliance with a neutral detergent and wipe with a soft cloth.

CAUTION

• Do not use sharp objects; they may scratch the surface.
• Do not use thinner, car detergent, chlorine bleach, essential oils, abrasive cleaners, or organic solvents such as benzene for cleaning.

These may damage the surface of the device and could cause a fire.

Interior cleaning

You should clean the inside of the appliance regularly.

Clean the inside of the freezer with a dilute solution of bicarbonate of soda, then rinse with lukewarm water using a wrung-out cloth or sponge. Wipe down the shelves and trays so that they are completely dry before replacing them. Dry all surfaces and attachments thoroughly.

Although the appliance removes frost automatically, a layer of frost may regularly form inside the freezer or if it is left open too long. If the frost layer becomes too thick, choose a time when there is little food in your refrigerator and proceed as follows:

1. Remove food and accessory trays, unplug the appliance and leave the doors open. Ventilate the room properly to speed up the defrosting process.
2. Once defrosting is complete, clean your freezer as described above.

CAUTION

Do not use sharp objects to remove frost from the freezer compartment. The appliance should only be reconnected to the mains and switched on again when the interior is completely dry.

Cleaning the door seals

Make sure to keep the door seals clean. If there is sticky food and drink residue, the seals may stick to the appliance and tear when you open the door. Wash the joints with a neutral detergent and lukewarm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly after cleaning.

CAUTION

The appliance may only be switched on again when the door seals are completely dry.

Replacement of the LED lighting:

Warning: the LED lighting must be replaced by a competent person!

If the LED light is damaged, contact customer service for assistance.

Defrosting

Why you should defrost the appliance:

- Water in the food or that gets into the air inside the refrigerator when the doors are opened can form a layer of frost inside the appliance. As the frost layer thickens, it reduces the cooling effect of the appliance. When it is more than 10 mm thick, you should defrost the appliance.

Defrosting the refrigerator

- This compartment is automatically regulated by switching the temperature control on and off; it does not require defrosting. The defrosting water will automatically flow into a drip tray via a drain pipe at the back of the refrigerator.

Defrosting the freezer

• The freezer is defrosted manually. Before doing so, remove the food from the freezer.
• Remove the ice cube tray and any food from the trays or place them temporarily in the refrigerator compartment.
• Set the temperature knob to the "0" position (the compressor will turn off) and leave the freezer door open until the ice and frost have completely melted and accumulated at the bottom of the freezer. Wipe up the water with a soft cloth.
• To speed up the defrosting process, you can place a bowl of hot water (about 50°C) in the freezer compartment and scrape off the ice and frost with a defrosting spatula. Once defrosting is complete, be sure to set the temperature control knob to the initial position.
• To avoid warping of the interior of the appliance, it is not recommended to heat the freezer compartment by directly applying hot water or using a hairdryer.
• It is also not advisable to scrape off ice and frost or to remove food from containers that were frozen with it, using sharp tools or wooden rods, so as not to damage the inner lining or the surface of the evaporator.

CAUTION

Before defrosting, switch off the appliance by turning the temperature control to the "0" position.

IMPORTANT

The appliance should be defrosted at least once a month. If the door is opened regularly or if the appliance is used in an extremely humid environment, you are advised to defrost the appliance once a fortnight.

Extended periods of disuse

• Remove all refrigerated elements.
• Switch off the appliance by turning the temperature control to the "0" position.
• Remove the power plug from the mains socket, turn off the power or disconnect the power supply.
• Clean the appliance thoroughly (see “Cleaning and maintenance”).
• Leave the door open to prevent odours from forming.

PLEASE NOTE

If the appliance has a freezer compartment.

Useful tips and advice

Energy-saving tips

• We recommend that you follow these energy-saving tips.
- Avoid leaving the door open for long periods.
- Make sure that the appliance is away from any heat source (direct sunlight, electric oven, etc.).
- Do not set the temperature to any colder than necessary.
- Do not place hot food or evaporating liquid in the appliance.
- Install the appliance in a well-ventilated and moisture-free place. Please refer to the section "Installing your new appliance".
- If the diagram shows the correct combination of shelves, crispers and racks for your appliance, please do not change it. This combination is designed to be the most energy-efficient configuration.

Tips for refrigerating fresh food

- Do not place hot food directly in the refrigerator or freezer; this would raise the interior temperature, thus increasing the activity of the compressor, which would then consume more energy.

• Cover or wrap food; especially if it has a strong flavour.
- Store food in such a way that air can circulate freely around it.

Refrigeration tips

• Meat (all kinds) and food packaged in polyethene: wrap and store on the glass shelf that rests on the crisper. Always observe the shelf life of foods and consume them by the dates recommended by the manufacturers.
• Prepared dishes, cold dishes, etc.: these products should be covered and may be placed on any of the shelves.
• Fruit and vegetables: these should be placed in the specially provided crisper.
• Butter and cheese: they should be wrapped in aluminium foil or airtight plastic film.
• Bottles of milk: these should be capped and kept in the door trays.

Tips for freezing

• When switching on for the first time or after a period of non-use, allow the appliance to run for at least 2 hours at the highest settings before placing food in the freezer compartment.
• Prepare small portions so that they can freeze through quickly and so that you have the option of only defrosting the quantity that you need.
• Wrap the food in aluminium foil or airtight polyethene film.
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food that has already been frozen to prevent the temperature of the food from rising.
• Frozen products, if eaten straight from the freezer, can cause frostbite on the skin.

Advice for the storage of frozen food.

• Ensure that the frozen food has been properly stored by the food distributor.
• Once defrosted, food spoils quickly and should never be refrozen. Avoid exceeding the use-by date indicated by the manufacturer.

Switching off your appliance

If the appliance is to be taken out of service for an extended period of time, the following steps should be taken to prevent the formation of mould in the appliance.

1. Remove all food.
2. Disconnect the power plug from the mains socket.
3. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
4. Ensure that all doors are wedged open slightly to allow air to circulate.

To avoid contaminating food, please observe the following instructions.

• Leaving the door open for a long time can cause the temperature inside the appliance to rise considerably.
• Clean food contact surfaces and accessible drainage systems regularly.

• In the refrigerator, store raw meat and fish in suitable containers so that they do not come into contact with or drip onto other foods.

• The “two star” freezer compartments are suitable for storing pre-frozen food, storing or making ice cream or making ice cubes.
