HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
Energy saving tips
We recommend that you heed the tips below to save energy.
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods.
• Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat (direct sunlight, electric
oven, or cooker etc.)
• Don't set the temperature colder than necessary.
• Don't store warm food or evaporating liquid in the appliance.
• Place the appliance in a well ventilated room with low humidity. Please refer to
chapter »Installing your new appliance«.
• The diagram shows the optimum combination for the drawers, crisper, and
shelves. Unless necessary, do not adjust the combination as this is the most
energy-e cient confi guration.
Hints for freezing
• When fi rst staring up or after a period out of use: before putting the food in
the compartment, let the appliance operate for at least 2 hours at a higher
setting.
• Prepare food in small portions to allow rapid and complete freezing, and to
allow thawing only the quantity required.
• Wrap the food in aluminium foil or cling fi lm and make sure that the packages
are airtight.
• Do not allow fresh unfrozen food to touch the food that is already frozen as
this would lead to rise in the temperature of the latter.
• Consuming frozen products immediately after removal from the freezer
compartment could cause ice burns (frostbite).
• It is recommended to label and date each frozen package to keep track of the
storage time.
Hints for storing frozen food
• Make sure that commercially frozen food was properly stored by the retailer.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be re-frozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.
Note: if the appliance contains related accessories and functions.
Switching o your appliance
If the appliance needs to be switched o for an extended period, the following
steps should be taken prevent mould on the appliance.
1. Remove all food.
2. Remove the power plug from the mains socket.
3. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
4. Ensure that all the doors are wedged open slightly to allow air to circulate.
26
CLEANING AND CARE
For hygienic reasons, the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should
be cleaned regularly. The appliance should be cleaned and maintained at least
every two months.
Warning!
The appliance should not be connected to the main power supply during
cleaning. Before cleaning, switch o the appliance and remove the plug from the
mains socket, or switch o /shut o the circuit breaker, or remove the fuse.
Notice!
• Remove the food from the appliance before cleaning. Store it in a cool place
and keep well covered.
• Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in
electrical components.
• Hot vapours can damage the plastic parts.
• Essential oils and organic solvents can damage plastic parts, e.g., lemon juice
or oils from an orange peel, butyric acid, or cleaners that contain acetic acid.
• Do not use any abrasive cleaners.
• Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm
water. Commercially available dishwashing detergents may also be used.
• After cleaning, wipe with fresh water and a clean dish cloth.
• Accumulation of dust on the condenser unit increases energy consumption;
clean the condenser at the back of the appliance once a year with a soft brush
or a vacuum cleaner. (Only for models with an outside/exterior condenser.)
• Check the water drain hole on the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment.
• Clear a blocked drain hole with a straw or a similar object, but be careful not
to damage the cabinet with any sharp objects.
After everything is dry, put the appliance back into service.
Defrosting
Defrosting the fresh food storage compartment
• The fresh food storage compartment will be defrosted automatically. Water
will be drained through a drainpipe at the back of the appliance onto a drip
tray.
Defrosting the frozen food storage compartment
• The freezer chamber must be defrosted manually. Before defrosting, remove
the food from the compartment.
• Remove the ice tray and drawers or put them into the fresh food compartment
temporarily.
• Set the knob of the temperature regulator to “0” (where the compressor will
stop operating) and leave the door of the refrigerator open until ice and frost
melt completely and accumulate at the bottom of the freezer chamber. Wipe
out the water with a soft cloth.
27
• To speed up the defrosting process, you may put a bowl of warm water (about
50 °C) into the freezer chamber and scrape away the ice and frost with a
defrosting spatula. After doing so, be sure to set the knob of the temperature
regulator back to the original position.
• It is not advisable to heat the freezer chamber directly with hot water or a hair
dryer while defrosting as this could cause deformation of the inner case.
• It is also not advisable to scrape o ice and frost or separate foods from the
containers which have been congealed together with the food, using sharp
tools or wooden bars, so as not to damage the inner casing or the surface of
the evaporator.
Warning! To switch off the appliance before defrosting, turn the temperature
regulator to the “0” position.
Notice! The appliance should be defrosted at least once a month. If the door
is opened frequently or if the appliance is used in a place with extremely high
humidity, we recommend defrosting every two weeks.
Door seals cleaning

stick to the cabinet and tear when you open the door. Wash seal with a mild
detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry it thoroughly after cleaning.
