Changing the light
• Any replacement or maintenance of the LED lamps is intended to be made by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualied person.
Connecting the appliance
After installing the appliance, connect the power plug into a socket outlet.
ATTENTION
• After connecting the power supply cord (or plug) to the outlet, wait 2 or 3 hours before you
put food into the appliance. If you add food before the appliance has cooled completely,
your food may spoil.
Precautions before operation:
• Before making changes the refrigerator must be disconnected from power.
• precautions should be taken to prevent any personal injury.
Tips for energy saving
• Do not place the appliance near cookers, radiators or other heat sources. If the
ambient temperature is high, the compressor will run more frequently and for
longer, resulting in increased energy consumption.
• Ensure that there is sufcient ventilation at the base of the appliance, on the sides
of the appliance and at the back of the appliance. Never cover ventilation openings.
• Please also observe the spacing dimensions in the chapter “Installation”.
• The arrangement of drawers, shelves and racks as shown in the illustration offers the
most efcient use of energy and should therefore be retained as far as possible. All
drawers and shelves should remain in the appliance to keep the temperature stable
and save energy.
• To obtain a larger storage space (e.g. for large refrigerated/frozen goods), the
middle drawers can be removed. The top and bottom drawers and shelves should
be removed last if necessary.
• An evenly lled refrigerator/freezer compartment contributes to optimal energy
use. Therefore, avoid empty or half-empty compartments.
• Allow warm food to cool before placing it in the refrigerator/freezer. Food that has
already cooled down increases energy efciency.
• Allow frozen food to defrost in the refrigerator. The coldness of the frozen food
reduces the energy consumption in the refrigerator compartment and thus increases
the energy efciency.
• Open the door only as briey as necessary to minimise cold loss. Opening the door
briey and closing it properly reduces energy consumption.
• The door seals of your appliance must be perfectly intact so that the doors close
properly and energy consumption is not increased unnecessarily.

Tips on storing food
Freezer compartment
• The freezer is designated for the storage of food frozen at very low temperature,
long-term storage of frozen food, and for the production of ice.
• Only use the shelves in the door of the freezer to store frozen food, not for storing
hot food designated for freezing.
• Do not put fresh and frozen food next to each other. The frozen food may thaw.
• When freezing fresh food (such as meat, sh or chopped meat), cut them into parts
that can be used at the same time.
• Storing frozen food: instructions are usually stated on the packages, which must be
followed. If there is no information on the packaging, food should not be stored for
longer than three months from the date of purchase.
• When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it was frozen at a suitable
temperature and that the packaging is not damaged.
• Frozen food should be kept in suitable packages to retain the quality and should be
returned to the freezer compartment as soon as possible.
• If a package of frozen food shows moisture or abnormal bulging, it is probable that
it was stored at the wrong temperature and the content is spoiled.
• The storage period for frozen food depends on the room temperature, the
thermostat setting, the frequency of opening the door of the freezer, the type of
food and the time of transporting the product from the shop to the household.
Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging and never exceed the
maximum storage time stated on the package.
Cooling compartment
• To reduce moisture and subsequent ice build-up, never put liquid into the
refrigerator in unsealed containers. Frost tends to concentrate in the coolest parts
of the evaporator. Storing uncovered liquids results in a more frequent need for
defrosting.
• Never put warm foods in the refrigerator. These should rst cool down at room
temperature and then be placed so as to ensure adequate air circulation in the
refrigerator.
• Foods or food containers should not touch the back wall of the refrigerator because
they could freeze to the wall. Do not keep regularly opening the door of the
refrigerator.
• Meat and clean sh (packed in a package or plastic foil) can be placed in the
refrigerator, which can be used in 1–2 days.
• Fruit and vegetables without packaging can be placed in the part designated for
fresh fruit and vegetables.
Recommended Temperature
The optimal temperature setting for food storage:
• Fridge: 4 °C(39
℉
) , Freezer: -18 °C(0
℉
)
ATTENTION
The optimal temperature setting of each compartment depends on the ambient temperature.
Above optimal temperature is based on the ambient temperature of 25 °C.
18
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Defrosting
