ENGLISH
•
The internal temperatures of the appliance may be
affected by the ambient temperature, frequency
of door opening, as well as location of the
appliance. Temperature setting should take into
consideration these factors.
•
Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before
placing in the appliance.
•
Do not obstruct the air ducts with food items
and leave enough space to ensure proper air
circulation.
•
After placing or removing food, ensure you close
the door properly.
Cleaning and maintenance
General tips
•
Regularly clean the appliance with a cloth and a
solution of warm water and neutral detergent
specifically formulated for refrigerator interiors.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or tools.
•
Before servicing or cleaning the appliance, unplug
it from the mains or disconnect the power supply.
Defrosting the compartment
The compartment is frost-free. This means that there
will be no build-up of frost when it is in operation,
neither on the internal walls nor on the food. The
absence of frost is due to the continuous circulation
of cold air inside the compartment, driven by an
automatically controlled fan.
Cleaning the door gasket
• The door gasket can be
removed for cleaning
purposes.
• Wipe or wash the door gasket
with clear water and dry
thoroughly with a cloth. Then
reinstall it correctly.
•
Keep the door gasket free of
oil and grease.
•
Do not fold the gasket.
If you do not use the appliance for a prolonged
period
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
3. Remove all food.
4. Clean the appliance.
5. Leave the doors open just enough to allow air
to circulate inside the compartments. This will
prevent the formation of mould and unpleasant
odours.
6. If restart it, it will remember the last setting
mode(Freezing mode or Fridge mode).
•
Reduce to a minimum door opening.
•
When thawing frozen food, place them in the
refrigerator. The low temperature of the frozen
products cools the food in the refrigerator.
•
Positioning of the shelves in the refrigerator has
no impact on the efficient usage of energy. Food
should be placed on the shelves in such way to
ensure proper air circulation (food should not
touch each other and distance between food and
rear wall should be kept).
•
Damaged gaskets must be replaced as soon as
possible.
In the event of a power cut
•
Note when the power cut starts and ends. This
helps you track how long the refrigerator has been
without power.
•
Keep the doors of the appliance closed. This will
allow the food to stay cold as long as possible.
•
If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-
freeze it. Consume within 24 hours.

Only an authorized technician is allowed to replace
