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 odor 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 any way, don't store foods against the rear wall: foods could freeze against the 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.

Frozen food can be gently defrizzed in the refrigerator compartment. This saves energy.

The ageing process of fruit and vegetables such as courgettis, melons, papaya, bananas, pineapples, etc. can be accelerated in the refrigerator. Therefore, it is not recommended 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.

Storage into the freezer compartment

• Keep the freezer temperature at- 18°C.
• 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 with 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 time 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 be less 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).
• While freezing fresh food, avoid bringing them 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 food, which have been stored at a temperature of -18^ 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 rising affects the quality of food.

NOTICE

Due to different models, your product may not have all of the following features. Please refer to chapter Product Description.

Power interruption

In the event of a power cut, food should remain safely cold for about 5 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 5 hours, make some ice and put it in a container in the top of the refrigerator compartment.
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.

Unpacking

RNING!

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.

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 at least 2 hours so that the oil runs back into the capsule.

Electrical connection

Before each connection check if:

▶ power supply, socket and fusing are appropriate to the rating plate.

▶the power socket is earthed and no multi-plug or extension.
▶the power plug and socket are strictly according.

Connect the plug to a properly installed household socket.

WARNING!

To avoid risks a damaged power cord must be replaced by the customer service (see warranty card).

Door Reversibility

Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, you should check whether the door swing must be changed from right (as delivered) to left, if this is required by the installation location and the usability.

RNING!

The appliance is heavy. You need two persons to carry out the door reversibility.
▶Before any operation, first unplug the appliance from the mains
- Do not tilt the appliance more than 45°C to prevent damage of the refrigeration system.

Assembly steps

1. Provide necessary tool.
2. Unplug the appliance.
3. Unplug the connection cable
4. Lift the loose refrigerator door carefully off the middle hinge.
5. Remove the middle hinge.
6. Remove the small cover of the front panel from left to right side.
7. Change the positions of the blanking plugs and the screw on the side.
8. Plug in the connection cable.

9. Replace front panel and fix it with five screws.

10. Remove the upper hinge cover 1 and unscrew the upper hinge (three screws) on right side 2.

11. Turn the door upside down and unscrew the cover (1). Take out the new cover (2) from the necessary bag and screw them to opposite side.

12. Screw the middle hinge to the left side of the appliance. Pay attention to inverting the pivot of the middle hinge, ensuring that the side with the gasket is facing upwards

13. Lift the upper door carefully on the middle hinge. And be sure the pivot fits into the hinge barrel of the lower door.

14. Take out the new upper hinge and hinge cover from the accessory bag. Put the connection cable through the upper hinge and fix the upper hinge with three screws on left side of appliance. And the put the hinge cover over the hinge.

After the change of the door, check if the door seals are located properly on the housing and all screws are tightened well.
