Safety information

Additional tips for proper usage

•  In the event of a power failure, call the local office of your electric 

company and ask how long the failure is going to last.
-  Most power failures that are corrected in an hour or two will 

not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should 
minimize the number of door openings while the power is off.

-  Should the power failure last more than 24 hours, remove and 

discard all frozen food.

•  The refrigerator might not operate consistently (frozen contents 

can thaw or temperatures can become too warm in the frozen 
food compartment) if sited for an extended period of time in a 
location where ambient air temperatures are constantly below the 
temperatures for which the appliance is designed.

•  In case of particular foods, keeping it under refrigeration can have 

a bad effect on preservation due to its properties.

•  Your appliance is frost free, which means there is no need 

to manually defrost your appliance. This will be carried out 
automatically.

•  Temperature rise during defrosting complies with ISO 

requirements. If you want to prevent an undue rise in the 
temperature of frozen food while the appliance defrosts, wrap the 
frozen food in several layers of newspaper.

•  Do not re-freeze frozen foods that have thawed completely.
•  The temperature of two star section (sections) or compartment 

(compartments) which have two star symbol ( ) is slightly higher 
than other freezer compartment (compartments).
The two star section (sections) or compartment (compartments) is 
(are) based on the instruction and/or the condition as delivered.
