Any replacement or maintenance of the LED lamps is intended to be made by the manufacturer,
its service agent or similar qualified person.
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 sufficient ventilation at the base of the appliance, on the sides of the appliance
and at the back of the appliance.
The arrangement of drawers, shelves and trays as shown in the product overview offers the most
efficient use of energy and should be retained as far as possible.
To obtain a larger storage space (e.g. for large refrigerated/frozen goods), the middle drawers and
shelves can be removed. The top and bottom drawers and shelves should be removed last if necessary.
Allow warm food to cool before placing it in the refrigerator/freezer compartment.
Food that has already cooled down increases energy efficiency.
Allow frozen food to defrost in the refrigeration compartment. The coldness of the frozen food reduces
the energy consumption in the refrigerator compartment and this increases the energy efficency.
An evenly filled refrigerator/freezer compartment contributes to optimal energy use.
Please also observe the spacing dimensions in the chapter “Installation”.

Freezer compartment
The freezer compartment is designated for the low-temperature freezing of food, long-term
storage of frozen food, and for the production of ice cubes.
Do not put fresh and frozen food next to each other. The frozen food may thaw.
When freezing large amounts of fresh food (such as meat, fish or chopped meat), please divide
them into several small pieces before putting in, so that they can be quickly frozen and pick up easily.
Abide by the storage times recommended by food manufacturers on the packages, there is no
information on the packaging, food should not be stored frozen 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 individual packages to ensure that adjacent food cannot
be contaminated. Consume thawed and defrosted foods immediately, do not refreeze them.
In case of prolonged power failure or malfunction of the appliance, remove the stored frozen food
and check whether they are still edible, then store them in a sufficiently cool place or in another appliance.
To defrost food, remove it from the freezer and let it defrost at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
To defrost food quickly, you can use the defrost function on your microwave, for example.
If you only want to defrost part of a pack, remove the portion you need and immediately close the rest
of the pack. In this way, you will avoid “freezer burn” and will reduce ice formation on the remaining foods.
Pay attention to the star classifications (4 star, 2 star and 1 star) in the freezer compartment and the
resulting storage periods for frozen food.
STORING FOOD
Keep pressing the button CUBED until the signal lights up.

may differ from your model.
ATTENTION
Storage of too much food during operation after the initial connection to power may adversely
affect the freezing effect of the refrigerator.
ATTENTION
Cooling compartment
To reduce moisture and subsequent ice build-up, never put liquid into the fridge compartment 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 fridge compartment. These should first cool down at room temperature and
then be placed so as to ensure adequate air circulation in the fridge compartment.
Foods or food containers should not touch the back wall of the fridge because they could freeze to the wall.
Do not keep regularly opening the door of the refrigerator.
Meat and clean fish (packed in a package or plastic foil) can be placed in the fridge compartment,
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.
Storage times and temperature
NOTE: Overlong storage or storage at inappropriate freezing temperature may cause a quality loss or
spoiled foods, which causes food waste, is inedible and may cause food poisoning.

The difference in air pressure between the inside
and outside of the compartment may sometimes
make it hard to open the freezer door.
The ice making function not turned on.
The appliance is not being supplied with water.
The water pipe has kinks in it.
The water pipe connection is installed incorrectly.
Water pressure is too low.

time for the temperature in the compartment to
reach the set temperature when the door is not
opened.
After the temperature stability, the actual
temperatures at different locations within the
compartment are different, with a deviation of
about ±37.4°F.
Door does not close
properly
Compressor working
for a long time
Cross or vertical
beams are hot
Outer wall is hot
Door is stuck with objects.

Too much food in.
High ambient temperature causing long working
time.
Putting too much food in at one time.
Food is put in before it has cooled down.
Opening the door too often.
The frost layer inside is too thick.
There are metal tubes inside the beams, and
the heat released from the tubes prevents
condensation.
When the appliance is operating, heat is
dissipated to the outside through the metal
tubes inside the cabinet.
Higher ambient temperatures in the summer
cause the temperature of the outer wall to rise.
Do not put in too much food.
Heat the door gasket, then cool it for restoration
(with an electrical drier or hot water for heating).
Place the appliance stably.
This is normal.
Do not put too much food in at one time.
Wait until the food has cooled down before
putting it in.
Do not open the door too often.
Need to defrost.
This is normal.
Higher temperature on the outer wall is normal.

appliance in a ventilated and cool place.
Problem Possible Causes Solution
20
Certain sounds can be heard during normal use of the refrigerator, which do not aect its
correct operation.
Sounds, which can be easily prevented:
Noise caused by the appliance which is not level - adjust the position with the adjustable turn-in front feet.
Alternatively, place pads made of soft material under the rear rollers, especially when the appliance is placed
on tiles.
Touching the adjacent piece of furniture - move the refrigerator away.
Creaking of the drawers or shelves - take out and put back the drawer or shelf.
Sounds of clinking bottles - move bottles apart.
Sounds heard during normal use are mainly due to operation of the compressor (switching on) and cooling
system (thermal expansion and contraction of the radiator caused by flow of the cooling agent).
