Refrigerant gas information
WARNING!
The appliance contains the ammable refrigerant ISOBUTANE
(R600a). Make sure the refrigerant circuit is not damaged during transportation or installation. Leaking refrigerant may cause eye
injuries or ignite. If a damage has occurred, keep away open re
sources, thoroughly ventilate the room, do not plug or unplug the power cords of the appliance or any other appliance. Inform the customer service.
In case of eyes get into contact with the refrigerant, rinse immedi­ately it under running water and call immediately the eye specialist.
CAUTION!
When you close the door, the vertical door beam on the left door should be bent inside (1).
If you try to close the left door and the vertical door
beam is unbent (2), you should bend it rstly, other­wise the door beam will hit the xing shaft or right
door. Thus a damage to the door beam or a leak will occur.
There is a heating thread inside the vertical door beam. The temperature of the surface will rise a lit-
tle, which is normal and won´t aect the function of
refrigerator.

5.14 Tips on storing fresh food
5.14.1 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 owing 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 owing. 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.
Frozen food can be gently thawed in the refrigerator compartment. This saves en-
ergy.
The ageing process of fruit and vegetables such as courgettes, melons, papaya, ba-
nana, 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 clean-
ing is required. See CARE AND CLEANING.
Dierent foods should be placed in dierent areas according to their properties (Fig.:
5.14.1).

5.14.2 Storage into the freezer compartment
Keep the freezer temperature at- 18°C. 24 hours before freezing switch on the Super-Freeze function; -for small quantities
of food 4-6 hours are sucient.
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 pack-
aging 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 dierent
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 sh) 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
rst 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!
Dierent foods should be placed in dierent areas according to their properties (Fig.:
5.14.2). 1 Freezer box:
Small frozen food like meat or small pizza
2 Upper freezer storage drawer:
Ice maker, freezer packs, Fresher Pad, less weigh­ty items, such as ice cream, vegetables, bread etc.
3 Preefreezing tray:
Bigger size pizza, small parts such as herbals, ice cream etc.
4 Lower freezer storage drawer:
Large/heavier portions of food, such as meats joints for roasting etc.

5.14.2
5.14.3 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 – temper-
ature rises aect the quality of food.

▶ Make sure the appliance is properly ventilated (see INSTALLATION). ▶ Do not install the appliance in direct sunlight or in the near of heat sources(e.g. stoves,
heaters).
▶ Avoid unnecessarily low temperature in the appliance. The energy consumption in-
creases the lower the temperature in the appliance is set. ▶ Functions like SUPER-FREEZE or SUPER-COOL consume more energy. ▶ Allow warm food to cool down before placing it in the appliance. Open the appliance door as little and as briey as possible. Do not overll the appliance to avoid obstructing the air ow. ▶ Avoid air within the food packaging. ▶ Keep door seals clean so that the door always closes correctly. ▶ Defreeze frozen food in the fridge storage compartment.

9.2 Power interruption
In the event of a power cut, food should remain safely cold for about 18 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 18 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 fail-
ure, the storage period and edible quality of food will be reduced. Any food that de-
frosts should be either consumed, or cooked and refrozen (where suitable) soon
afterwards in order to prevent health risks.
Notice: Memory function during power interruption
After restoration of power the appliance continues with the settings that were set be­fore the power failure.
