This freezer is outfitted with a lock to
help prevent young children from climbing
into the freezer. If concerned please keep
the fridge locked and the key out of reach.
Caution!
Upon closing the door, you may
hear a whooshing noise – this is
normal. It is the low pressure causing
a suction effect when the door is
closed to ensure a tight seal.
Cleaning and Care
For hygienic reasons the appliance
(including exterior and interior accessories)
should be cleaned at least every two
months.
Warning!
To avoid electrical shock, the appliance
must not be connected to the main power
supply during cleaning. Before cleaning,
switch the appliance off and remove the
plug from the main socket.
Exterior cleaning

appliance, you should clean it regularly.
Spray water onto a cleaning cloth instead
of spraying directly on the surface of the
appliance. This helps ensure an even
distribution of moisture to the surface.
Clean the doors, handles and cabinet
surfaces with a mild detergent and then
wipe dry with a soft cloth.

ethereal oil, abrasive cleansers or organic
solvent such as Benzene for cleaning.
They may damage the surface of the
appliance and may cause fire.
Interior cleaning
You should clean the appliance interior
regularly. It will be easier to clean when
food stocks are low. Wipe the inside of the
fridge freezer with a weak solution of
backing soda and water, and then rinse
with warm water using a wrung-out
sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry
before replacing the shelves and baskets.
Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable
parts before putting them back into place.
Although this appliance automatically
defrosts, a layer of frost may occur on the
freezer compartment’s interior walls if the
freezer door is opened frequently or kept
open too long. If the frost is too thick,
choose a time when the freezer is nearly
empty and proceed as follows:
1. Remove existing food and accessories
baskets, unplug the appliance from the
main power and leave the doors open.
Ventilate the room thoroughly to
accelerate the process.
2. When defrosting is completed, clean
your freezer as described above.

Do not use sharp objects to remove frost
from the freezer compartment. Only after
the interior is completely dry should the
appliance be switched back on and
plugged back into the main socket.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration
Do not place hot food directly into the
compressor having to work harder and will
consume more energy.
Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if
it has a strong flavor.
Place food properly so that air can
circulate freely around it.
Hints for freezing
When first starting-up or after a period
out of use, let the appliance run at least 2
hours on the higher settings before putting
food in the compartment.
Prepare food in small portions to enable
it to be rapidly and completely frozen and
to make it possible to subsequently thaw
only the quantity required.
Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or cling
wraps which are airtight.
Do not allow fresh
，
unfrozen food to
touch the food which is already frozen to
avoid temperature rise of the latter.
Iced products, (ice cubes, popsicles): if
consumed immediately after removal from
the freezer compartment, will probably
cause frost burns to the skin.
It is recommended to label and date each
frozen package in order to keep track of
the storage time.
Hints for the storage of frozen food
Ensure that frozen food has been stored
correctly by the food retailer
Once defrosted, food will deteriorate
rapidly and should not be re-frozen. Do not
exceed the storage period indicated by the
food manufacturer.
Switching off your appliance
