Setting the refrigerator temperature

Note:

• The factory default setting is level 3.
- Allow the product to pre-cool for at-least 6 hours before starting to store food.

Fig. 5 Set the temperature with the temperature control. Levels 1-7 do not correspond to any particular temperature. In position 0 the appliance is switched off. The lower the setting, the higher the inner temperature.

Note:

• To check the temperature, insert a commercially available thermometer into the device.
• The temperature in the unit depends on the ambient temperature and the setting of the temperature controller.
  • Make sure the door of the product is properly closed and not blocked by food.

Door open alarm

If the door is left open for more than 60 seconds the LED light will flash 3 times and then shine continuously for 5 seconds. This cycle will be repeated until the door is closed.

Note:

• The most common temperature for the freezer compartment should be -18°C or lower.
• To determine the temperature of the product, obtain a suitable thermometer, and place it inside the product.
• The temperature of the product depends on the setting of the temperature regulator. Note that, the lower the set temperature, the higher the energy consumption of the product.
• Please make sure the door is closed properly and is not obstructed by foods.
• Never store warm or hot foodstuffs in the appliance, as this will impair the cooling performance of the appliance and will also defrost other foodstuffs.

Recommendation for setting

Note:

• If necessary, or if the premises require it, the mounting of the doors can be changed. To do this, follow below instructions in the given order.

• The following tools are required: Socket wrench or wrench 10 mm, phillips screwdriver. Due to the uniqueness of the appropriate tools, those are not mentioned separately in the following instructions.

• Remove the two screws at the rear of the top cover.

• Remove top cover then place it aside.
• Unscrew the top hinge and then remove the door and place it on a soft pad to avoid damaging it.

Caution

After you have placed the refrigerator upright on its feet, wait for 6 hours before you connect it to the mains to permit the cooling system to regain full performance.

Note:

When installing the door, ensure that the top of the door is level with the top of the cabinet. If the door is not level, the rubber gasket will not make a good seal with the cabinet which can cause the appliance to malfunction.

Energy saving tips

• Do not place the product in the vicinity of a heat source (radiator or kitchen stove, etc.).
• Ensure unobstructed air flow around the refrigerator and freezer.
• If a layer of ice has built, defrost the unit. A thick layer of ice affects the transmission of the cold, thus the energy consumption will be increased.
• When opening and taking out food, only open the door shortly. A shorter door opening time causes less ice to deposit on the freezer walls.
• Select the temperature regulator setting according to the filling amount of the product.
• Use drawers, baskets or shelves to store the food. If the energy of the product is used efficiently, the energy consumption can be minimized.
• Only place cold or cooled down foodstuffs in the freezer. Never insert hot items.
• It's advised not to remove the provided accessories, such as drawers, shelves balconies, as this might increase the energy consumption, due to inefficient storage of food.

Cleaning and care

Warning

• Unplug the product before cleaning.
- When cleaning, never use solvents or abrasive materials, hard brushes, metallic or sharp objects. Solvents are harmful to human health and can attack plastic parts, while abrasive cleaning materials and tools may scratch the surface(s).
- Never use oil or grease on the door seal. This will make it porous over time.
- Do not use steam cleaning equipment. The steam may come in contact with electrical parts of the product, causing a short circuit.
- Clean the product's exterior surfaces with a slightly damp cloth and then dry them thoroughly.
• Make sure that no water enters the product interior (for example, through the switch).
- Wipe the door seal with clean water only, and dry it thoroughly afterwards.
- Removable parts e.g. the glass plate can be taken out for cleaning.

Decommissioning

Fig. 7 If a longer break should occur during operation of the refrigerator, the following steps must be carried out:

• Empty the product.
- Unplug the product.
- Clean the interior of the appliance compartment and let it dry.
- Carefully clean all the accessories ice cube maker etc.
- Leave the door open to avoid the formation of unpleasant odors and mold.

Storage of food and beverages

	Area Recommended food and temperature setting
	A Freezer compartment (-18°C)Foods for long-term storageStorage of frozen food and ice cream, raw meat, poultry, fish, frozen vegetables, chips
	B Fridge (4°C)• Storage of food for daily consumption, delicacies, yogurt, sauces, pickled vegetables, desserts• Storage of meat, fish, sausages, fresh filled pasta, cooked foods, leftovers
	C Fruit and vegetable compartment (8°C)

How to store food and beverages for best preservation over the longest period, in order to avoid food waste?

Fridge

• Use containers made from recycled plastic, metal, aluminum and glass as well as plastic wrap to pack food.
• Liquids as well as foods that lead to odor formation or can easily spoil or that can transfer taste, should be covered.
• If only a small amount of food is to be stored, the use of the shelves above the fruit and vegetable compartment is recommended.
• Foods that give off a large amount of ethylene gas and those that are sensitive to them, such as fruits, vegetables and lettuce, must always be kept separately from one another or packaged in order not to shorten the storage time; For example, do not keep tomatoes with kiwi or cabbage together.
• Use the bottle holder to prevent bottles from tipping over.

• Do not store food too close to one another to allow sufficient air circulation.

• The recommended temperature setting for the fridge compartment is 4°C. If set, foodstuffs can be usually stored for a few days.

• if ambient temperature is around 20°C\~30°C the recommend setting is 4\~5.
• if ambient temperature is less than 20^ C the recommend setting is 5\~6.
• if ambient temperature is more than 30^ C the recommend setting is 2\~4.

Recommendations when refrigerating food

• Store fresh and undamaged food. The quality and freshness will then be retained for longer.
• In the case of convenience products and bottled goods, do not exceed the sell-by date or use-by date specified by the manufacturer.
• To retain aroma, colour and freshness, pack or cover food well before placing it in the appliance. This will prevent flavours from being transferred between foods and the plastic parts from becoming discoloured.

English

- Leave warm food and beverages to cool down before placing them in the refrigerator compartment.

Freezer

• Ideal for storing frozen food, preparing ice cubes and freezing fresh food.
• If you only store small amounts of food in the freezer, it is recommended to use the coldest area in the freezer (corresponds to the middle area).
• The recommended temperature for the freezer compartment is -18^ .
• The storage period specified on the packaging is decisive for commercially available frozen products.

Recommendations when freezing food

• Distribute food in the compartments or frozen food containers.
• Do not bring food which is to be frozen into contact with frozen food. If required, re-stack frozen food in the frozen food containers.

Note: Storage of foods at the wrong temperature may lead to an increase of food waste.

Storage times and temperature

Note: Overlong storage or storage at inappropriate freezing temperatures may cause spoiled foods, which causes food waste, is inedible and may cause food poisoning. The minimum temperature in most cases should be -18°C or colder.

Follow the maximum recommended storage times below:

• Stew, ice cream, sausages, bread: 2-6 months
  • Fish, shrimp, lamb, meat: 4-8 months
  • Vegetables, fruits, poultry, beef: 6-12 months
