EN Tips on storing fresh food

Storing into the refrigerator compartment ▶ Keep your fridge temperature below 5°C. ▶ Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the appliance. ▶ Foods stored in the refrigerator should be washed and dried before storing ▶ Food to be stored should be properly sealed to avoid odour or taste alterations. ▶ Do not store excessive quantities of food. Leave spaces between foods to allow cold air flowing around them, for a better and more homogeneous cooling. ▶ Foods eaten daily should be stored at the front of the shelf. ▶ Leave a gap between foods and the inner walls, allowing air flowing. In special way don’t store foods against the rear wall: foods could freeze against rear wall. Avoid direct contact of food (especially oily or acidic food) with the inner liner, as oil/acid can erode the inner liner. Clean away oily/acid dirt whenever it is found. ▶ Defreeze frozen food in the fridge storage compartment. This way, you can use the frozen food to decrease the temperature in the compartment and save energy. ▶ The ageing process of fruit and vegetables such as courgettes, melons, papaya, banana, pineapple, etc. can be accelerated in the refrigerator. Therefore, it is not advisable to store them in the refrigerator. However, the ripening of strongly green fruits can be promoted for a certain period. Onions, garlic, ginger and other root vegetables should also be stored at room temperature. ▶ Unpleasant odours inside the fridge are a sign that something has spilled and cleaning is required. See CARE AND CLEANING. ▶ Different foods should be placed in different areas according to their properties:

▶ Please keep the distance more than 10 mm between the food placed and air duct or sensors to ensure the cooling effect. 1 Butter, cheese, eggs, spices, etc.

Storage into the freezer compartment

▶▶ Keep the freezer temperature at- 18°C. ▶▶ 24 hours before freezing switch on the Power-freeze function; -for small quantities of food 4-6 hours are sufficient. ▶▶ Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the freezer compartment. ▶▶ Food cut into small portions will freeze faster and be easier to defrost and cook. The recommended weight for each portion is less than 2.5 kg ▶▶ It is better to pack food before putting it into the freezer. The outside of the packaging must be dry to avoid bags sticking together. Packaging materials should be odour-free, airtight, non-poisonous and nontoxic. ▶▶ In order to avoid expiration of storage periods, please note the freezing date, time limit and name of the food on the packaging according to the storage periods of different foods. ▶▶ WARNING!: Acid, alkali and salt etc. could erode the internal surface of the freezer. Do not place the food having these substances (e.g. sea fish) directly on the internal surface. Salt water in the freezer should be cleaned up immediately. ▶▶ Do not exceed the food storage times recommended by the manufacturers. Only take the required amount of food out of the freezer. ▶▶ Consume defrosted food quickly. Defrosted food cannot be re-frozen unless it is first cooked, otherwise it may bless edible. ▶▶ Do not load excessive quantities of fresh food in the freezer compartment. Refer to the freezing capacity of the freezer – See TECHNICAL DATA or data at the type plate. ▶▶ Food can be stored in the freezer at a temperature of at least -18°C for 2 to 12 months, depending on its properties (e.g., meat: 3-12 months, vegetables: 6-12 months) ▶▶ When freezing fresh food, avoid bringing it in contact with already frozen food. Risk of thawing! When storing commercially frozen foods, please follow these guidelines: ▶▶ Always follow manufacturers’ guidelines for the length of time you should store food for. Do not exceed these guidelines! ▶▶ Try to keep the length of time between purchase and storage as short as possible to preserve food quality. ▶▶ Buy frozen foods, which have been stored at a temperature of –18 °C or below. ▶▶ Avoid buying food which has ice or frost on the packaging – This indicates that the products might have been partially defrosted and refrozen at some point – temperature rises affect the quality of food.

▶▶ Please keep the distance more than 10 mm between the food placed and air duct to ensure the cooling effect. 23

In the event of a power cut, food should remain safely cold for about 12 hours. Follow these tips during a prolonged power interruption, especially in summer: ▶ Open the door/drawer as few times as possible. ▶ Do not put additional food into the appliance during a power interruption. ▶ If prior notice of a power interruption is given and the interruption duration is longer than 12 hours, make some ice and put it in a container in the top of the refrigerator

An inspection of the goods is required immediately after the interruption.

As temperature in the refrigerator will rise during a power interruption or other failure, the storage period and edible quality of food will be reduced. Any food that defrosts should be either consumed, or cooked and refrozen (where suitable) soon afterwards in order to prevent health risks.

Memory function during power interruption

After restoration of power the appliance continues with the settings that were set before the power failure.

▶ The appliance is heavy. Always handle with at least two persons. ▶ Keep all packaging materials out of children´s reach and dispose them in an environmentally friendly manner. ▶ ▶

Take the appliance out of the packaging.

Remove all packaging materials.

safety reasons, the information of the required ventilation cross sections must be observed.

This refrigerating appliance is not intended to be used as a built-in appliance.

Aligning the appliance

The appliance should be placed on a at and solid surface. 1. Tilt the appliance slightly backwards. 2. Set the feet to the desired level. Make sure the distance to the wall on the hinge side is at least 100 mm for the door to open properly. z

A The stability can be checked by alternately bumping on the diagonals. The slightly swaying should be the same in both directions. Otherwise the frame can warp; possible leaking door seals are the result. A low tendency to the rear facilitates the closing of the door.frame can warp; possible leaking door seals are the result. A low tendency to the rear facilitates the closing of the door.

Fine tuning of the doors

If the doors are not in one level, this mismatch can be remedied by following: A) Using adjustable foot Rotate the adjustable foot according to the direction of arrow to turn up or down the foot.

▶ Open the upper door and lift it. ▶ Carefully clip the spacer (enclosed in the accessory bag) in the white plastic ring of the middle hinge by hand or using tools like pliers. Do not scratch or bruise the door.

In the future use of refrigerator, doors uneven phenomenon may occur to the weight of stored food. Then please adjust according to the above methods.

To the maintenance-free lubrication oil is located in the capsule of the compressor. This oil can get through the closed pipe system during slanting transport. Before connecting the appliance to the power supply you have to wait 2-5 hours so that the oil runs back into the capsule.

Electrical connection
