You can stop operation of your device by
adjusting the thermostat knob to “0” position.
Cooling
Food storage
The fridge compartment is for the short-term
storage of fresh food and drinks.
Store milk products in the intended
compartment in the refrigerator.
Bottles can be stored in the bottle holder or
in the bottle shelf of the door.
Raw meat is best kept in a polyethylene bag
in the compartment at the very bottom of the
refrigerator.
Allow hot foods and beverages to cool to room
temperature prior to placing them in the
refrigerator.
Attention
Store concentrated alcohol only standing
upright and tightly closed.
Attention
Do not store explosive substances or
containers with flammable propellant gases
(canned cream, spray cans etc.) in the device.
There is a danger of explosion.
Please note that there will be different
temperatures in the cooling area.
The coldest region is immediately above the
vegetable compartment.
The interior temperature also depends on
ambient temperature, the frequency with which
the door is opened and the amount of foods
kept inside.
Frequently opening the door causes the interior
temperature to rise.
For this reason, it is recommended to close
the door again as soon as possible after use.

en en
Defrosting of the appliance
The fridge compartment defrosts automatically.
The thawing water flows through the drain
channel into a collection container at the rear
of the device.
If the fresh food section goes thru a cycle
defrost it is normal to see the formation of
water droplets (frozen) on the evaporator if
the water has not completely fallen of the
evaporator.
Check the flow of the thawed water from time
to time.It may become plugged occasionally.
Clean it with a q-tip or similar (see the section
"Cleaning and care").
Freezing
Freezing food
The freezing compartment is marked with
this symbol.
You can use the appliance for freezing fresh
food as well as for storing pre-frozen food.
Please refer to the recommendations given
on the packaging of your food.
Attention
Do not freeze fizzy drinks, as the bottle may
burst when the liquid in it is frozen.
Be careful with frozen products such as colored
ice-cubes.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your
appliance in 24 hours. See the rating label.
In order to maintain the quality of the food, the
freezing must be effected as rapidly as possible.
Thus, the freezing capacity will not be
exceeded, and the temperature inside the
freezer will not rise.
Attention
Keep the already deep-frozen food always
separated with freshly placed food.
When deep-freezing hot food, the cooling
compressor will work until the food is completely
frozen. This can temporarily cause excessive
cooling of the refrigeration compartment.
If you find the freezer door difficult to open just
after you have closed it, don’t worry. This is
due to the pressure difference which will
equalize and allow the door to open normally
after a few minutes.
You will hear a vacuum sound just after closing
the door. This is quite normal.

fan.
Never store products that contain
inflammable propellant gas
(e.g. dispensers, spray cans etc.) or
explosive substances.
Don’t cover the shelves with any protective
materials, which may obstruct air circulation.
Do not allow children to play with the appliance
or tamper with the controls.
Do not obstruct the freezer fan guard to
ensure that you obtain the best possible
performance from your appliance.
Replacing the interior
light bulb
Should the light fail to work, proceed as follows.
1- Switch off at the socket outlet and pull
out the mains plug.
You may find it useful to remove shelves for
easy access.
2- Use a flat tipped screwdriver to remove the
light diffuser cover.
3- First check that the bulb hasn’t worked loose
by ensuring it is screwed securely in the holder.
Replace the plug and switch on.
If the bulb works, replace the light cover by
inserting the rear lug and pushing up to locate
the front two lugs.
4- If the light still fails to work, switch off at the
socket outlet and pull out the mains plug.
Replace the bulb with a new 15 watt (max)
screw cap (SES) bulb.

Normal operating noises
Various functional noises are completely
normal due to the operation of the cooling
system of your appliance;
• Gurgling, hissing, boiling or bubbling noises
are caused by the refrigerant, circulating inside
the cooling system. These noises can still be
heard for a short period of time after the
compressor shuts off.
• Sudden, sharp cracking or popping noises
are caused by the expansion and contraction
of the inside walls or some components inside
the cabinets.
• Buzzing, whirring, pulsating or high-pitched
humming noises are caused by the
compressor. These noises are slightly louder
at the start-up of the compressor and reduce
when the appliance reaches the operating
temperatures.
Also to avoid disturbing vibrations and
noises make sure that;
• Your refrigerator is standing level on all four
feet.
• Your refrigerator is not in contact with the
walls, surrounding objects or kitchen cabinets
and furniture.
• Cans, bottles or dishes inside the refrigerator
are not touching and rattling against each
other.
