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 at the second shelf from the top of the refrigerator.
Allow hot foods and beverages to cool to room temperature prior to placing them in the refrigerator.
It is suggested not to keep frozen food over crisper cover (as indicated in Fig.8.) for thawing purposes.
enen
The other shelves can be used for thawing purposes.
Attention
Store concentrated alcohol in a container 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 appliance. There is a danger of explosion.

Freezing
Freezing food
The freezing area is marked with symbol on the door liner. 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 coloured 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.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice-cube tray 3/4 full with water and place it in the freezer. As soon as the water has turned into ice, you can take out the ice cubes. Never use sharp objects such as knives or forks to remove the ice cubes. There is a risk of injury!
Let the ice cubes slightly thaw instead, or put the bottom of the tray in hot water for a short moment.
Defrosting of the appliance
The appliance is a frost free refrigerator. So there will not be any frost accumulation inside the food storage area.
However there will be an automatic defrost at the evaporation area of the appliance when it is required. The water is collected into a reservoir at the back of the appliance and evaporates automatically through the compressor heat.
Ensure that the reservoir is fixed properly above the compressor.
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.
Do not close air flow channels while loading.

Replacing the interior light bulb (Fig. 6-7)
Should the light fail to work, proceed as follows. Switch off the circuit breaker or unplug the power cable. Then ensure the bulb is screwed securely in the bulb holder. Plug in the power and switch on the circuit breaker. If the light still fails, obtain a replacement E14 screw-cap type 15 Watt (Max) bulb from your local electrical store and then fit it .Carefully dispose of the burnt-out light bulb immediately.
Cleaning and care
Interior and Exterior Surfaces
Attention
Always unplug the power cable or switch off the circuit breaker before cleaning.
Clean the exterior using lukewarm water and a mild detergent.
Never use detergents, abrasive or acidic agents.
Wipe the inside compartment dry.
Be careful to prevent water from getting into contact with the electrical connections of the temperature control or the interior light.
Clean with water only, and wipe totally dry.
Cleaning of the accessories
Door shelves:
Remove all food from the door shelves. Lift the cover of the shelf upwards and pull it off sideward. Remove the bottom of the door shelf by pushing it upwards.
Collecting container (Pan):
Make sure that the pan at the back of the appliance is always clean. Gently release the snap of the pan from the compressor by pushing it using a tool (like screwdriver), so that the pan can be removed.
Lift the pan, clean it and wipe it dry. Re-assemble in reverse order.
Crisper or Drawers:
To clean a drawer, pull it out as far as possible, tilt it upwards and then pull it out completely.
Odor filter:
The odor filter at the back of your fresh food compartment prevents formation of bad smell in your product . To clean the odor filter, remove the plastic cover and leave the filter under sun light for a day. Filter will be cleaned during this period. Fit the filter back to its place (Fig. 5). Perform this operation once a year.
If the appliance is not going to be used for a long period of time, unplug the power cable and remove all food. Clean the appliance and keep the door open. To preserve the appearance of your appliance, you can polish the exterior and the door accessories with a silicone wax.
Clean the condenser at the back of the appliance once a year using a brush or a vacuum cleaner. Dust build-up leads to increased energy consumption. Inspect the door gasket at regular intervals.
