BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

Your new appliance is a combined fridge freezer
exclusively for domestic use.

The freezer compartment can be
used to deep freeze fresh and cooked food,
make ice cubes, and for the storage of frozen
and deep-frozen food; defrosting the freezer is

a manual procedure. The refrigerator
compartment, which has an automatic defrost

feature, is used for the storage of fresh food and
beverages.

To get the most out of your new appliance,
read the user handbook thoroughly. The
handbook contains a description of the
appliance and useful tips for storing food.
