If you want your food in the crisper to cool more, open the holes of the humidity control sliders and if you want them to cool less and keep their humidity for a longer time, close the holes.

Icematic and ice storage container

Using the Icematic

*Fill the Icematic with water and place it into its seat. Your ice will be ready approximately in two hours. Do not remove the Icematic from its seating to take ice.

*Turn the knobs on it clockwise by 90 degrees.

Ice cubes in the cells will fall down into the ice storage container below.

6 Maintenance and cleaning

ANever use gasoline, benzene or similar substances for cleaning purposes.

BWe recommend that you unplug the appliance before cleaning.

BNever use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent and wax polish for cleaning.

CUse lukewarm water to clean the cabinet of your refrigerator and wipe it dry.

CUse a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of

water to clean the interior and wipe it dry.

BMake sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical items.

BIf your refrigerator is not going to be used for a long period of time, unplug the power cable, remove all food, clean it and leave the door ajar.

CCheck door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particles.

ATo remove door racks, remove all the contents and then simply push the door rack upwards from the base.

Protection of plastic surfaces

CDo not put the liquid oils or oilcooked meals in your refrigerator in unsealed containers as they damage the plastic surfaces of your refrigerator. In case of spilling or smearing oil on the plastic surfaces, clean and rinse the relevant part of

the surface at once with warm water.

Door Glasses

C Remove the protective foil on the glasses.

CThere is a coating on the surface of the glasses. This coating minimizes the stain build-up and helps to remove the possible stains and dirt easily. Glasses that are not protected with such a coating may be subject to persistent binding of air or water based organic or inorganic dirt

such as limescale, mineral salts, unburned hydrocarbons, metal oxides and sliciones that can easily and quickly cause stains or material damage. Keeping the glass clean becomes too difficult despite the regular cleaning. Consequently, the appearance and the transparency of the glass deteriorates. Harsh and corrosive cleaning methods and compounds will intensify these defects and speed up the deterioration process.

CWater-based cleaning products that are not alkaline and corrosive must be used for regular cleaning purposes.

CNon-alkaline and non-corrosive materials must be used for cleaning so that the service life of this coating lasts for a long time.

CThese glasses are tempered to increase their durability against impacts and breaking.

CA safety film is also applied to their rear surfaces as an extra safety measure in order to prevent them from causing damage to their surrounding in case of a breakage.

*Alkali is a base that forms hydroxide ions (OH¯) when it is dissolved in water.

Li (Lithium), Na (Sodium), K (Potassium) Rb (Rubidium), Cs (Cesium) and artificial and radioactive Fr (Fan-sium) metals are called ALKALI METALS.
