• Do not put fresh food together with frozen
food. This to prevent the temperature of the
frozen food to increase.
• The storage time for fat food is shorter than
for non-fat food or for low-fat food. The salt
decreases the storage time of the food.
• We recommend that you write, on each
packaging, the date of when the food was
frozen.
Storage of the frozen food
• When you buy frozen food, make sure that
you put it in the freezer in a very short time.
• When you thaw frozen food, you must cook it
in a very short time. It is not possible to
freeze again food that was frozen before.
• Make sure that the use-by date is not ex-
pired. You can find the information on the
packaging of the food.
Care and cleaning
Caution! Before maintenance, disconnect
the mains plug from the mains socket.
Cleaning
• Clean the appliance and the accessories
regularly.
• Clean all the parts of the appliance and all
the accessories only with warm water and
neutral detergent. Make sure that the appli-
ance and the accessories are fully dry.
• Clean the gasket of the door regularly. To re-
place a damaged gasket, contact the Serv-
ice.
• Clean the grill of the condenser and the
compressor, that are behind the appliance,
with a brush. This helps to decreases the en-
ergy consumption and keeps the appliance in
good conditions.
Important!
• Be careful not to pull, move or to cause dam-
age to the pipes or the cables.
• Be careful not to cause damage to the cool-
ing unit.
• Do not clean the appliance with abrasive
products, abrasive cleaning pads, solvents,
detergents with perfume or wax polish.
After maintenance, connect the mains plug to
the mains socket.
Automatic defrosting of the fridge
The removal of frost occurs automatically when
the motor compressor stops during operation.
The water drains out through the drain hole and
collects in the water container where it evapo-
rates.
The water container is behind the appliance,
above the motor compressor.
The drain hole is in the fridge on the rear part.
To prevent water to collect in other parts of the
fridge, make sure that the drain hole is always
clean. Use the cleaning tool that is in the drain
hole.
Defrosting of the freezer
There can be frost on the freezer shelves
and around the top compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the layer of frost has a
thickness of 3 or 5 mm.
Caution! Do not use sharp metal tools to
remove the frost.
Do not use mechanical devices to defrost the
freezer.
