Never forget:
•
When you freeze fresh foods with a 'use by /best before/best by/' date, you must freeze them
before this date expires.
•
Check that the food was not already frozen. Indeed, frozen food that has thawed completely must not be
re-frozen.
•
Once defrosted, food should be consumed quickly.
DEFROSTING
Refrigerator compartment defrosts fully automatically
While the refrigerating unit is running, beads of condensation or hoarfrost from at the back of the refrigerator
compartment. This is normal. It is not necessary to wipe off the condensation or frost. The rear panel defrosts
automatically. The condensation runs into the condensation channel and is conveyed to the refrigerating unit
where it evaporates.
Note:
Keep the condensation channel and drainage hole clean, so that the condensation can run out.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
The freezer compartment does not defrost automatically, otherwise the frozen food would start thawing.
A layer of frost in the freezer compartment impairs refrigeration of the frozen food and increases power
consumption. Remove the layer of hoarfrost regularly.
WARNING:
Do not scrape off hoarfrost or ice with a knife or pointed object. Doing this may damage the
refrigerant tubes.
1.
Remove the frozen food and place temporarily in a cool location.
2.
Set the temperature control knob to the 0 position and disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
3.
To accelerate the defrosting process, place a pan of hot water on a stand in the freezer compartment.
4.
Wipe up condensation with a cloth or sponge.
5.
Wipe dry the freezer compartment.
6.
Plug in the appliance and adjust the temperature control knob as desired.
7.
Let
the
appliance
work
for
2-3
hours
to
stabilize
at
the
normal
operating
temperature.
8.
Put the frozen food back in the freezer compartment.
HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
We recommend that you follow the tips below to save energy.
•
Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods in order to conserve energy.
•
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, humidity free room.
•
Please refer to Installing your new appliance chapter.
•
The

STRUCTURE ILLUSTRATION
”
shows the correct combination for the drawers, crisper and shelves, do
not adjust the combination as this is designed to be the most energy efficient configuration.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
•
Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator or freezer, the internal temperature will increase
resulting in 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.
