Operating elements
The temperature adjustment for the refriger-
ator compartment is set via the controller on
the lighting inside the refrigerator.
Place it in a central position to set an optimal
temperature for normal use. The more you
turn the knob clockwise, the lower the tem-
perature in the refrigerator will be. The more
you turn the knob counterclockwise, the high-
er the temperature in the refrigerator will be.
VeggiBox
The VeggiBox serves as the optimal storage
for fruits and vegetables.
Interior Lighting
Do not take off the cover of the interior
lighting. The appliance is equipped with high
quality, durable LED-lighting. If the light is
inoperative, call our after-sales service.
Storing of Food
• Store the food only packaged or covered
in the refrigerator, in order to sustain the
flavour and the freshness. Especially foods
with a strong smell or prone to absorbing
smell (cheese, fish, butter, among others)
have to be stored separately.
• At first, set an average cooling temperature.
If the cooling is too strong, set a higher
temperature and if the cooling is too weak,
set a lower temperature.
If frost is built upon the back wall, then
the cause of this could be that the door
was opened too long, warm dishes were in
the appliance or the temperature was set
too low.
• Warm foods have to be cooled down to
room temperature before they can be
stored in the appliance.
• Make sure that the door is closed correctly
and that it is not blocked by cooled food.
Cleaning and Defrosting (Maintenance)
Cleaning
• Always pull the mains plug before cleaning.
• Do not pour water into the appliance.
• Tepid water with a bit of washing-up liquid
is suitable for the regular maintenance. In
order to avoid an unpleasant smell in the
cooling room, a cleaning of the latter once
a month is recommended.
• Clean the equipment separately with rins-
ing water, not in the dishwasher.
• Do not use aggressive, abrasive or alcoholic
detergents.
• After cleaning it with clear water, wipe the
surface and carefully dry it off. Subsequent-
ly, plug the mains plug with dry hands.
• In order to save energy and maintain the
efficiency, you should clean the condenser
(on the backside) and the compressor at
least twice a year with a broom or vacuum
cleaner.
• The rating label in the interior of the appli-
ance cannot be damaged or even removed
while cleaning.
Defrosting
The refrigerator does not have to be defrosted
but it does have to be cleaned.
The refrigerator's evaporator is fixed into the
rear wall, which is why the rear walls can be-
come covered with frost. Whenever the com-
pressor is not working, frost can melt. The
resulting water is led through a hose system
to the basin on the compressor, where it then
evaporates due to the heat generated. When
setting the temperature controller, avoid per-
manent frost without a defrost phase.
Make sure that the drain gully and the drain
opening are not blocked so that the water
produced in the refrigerator can always flow
off unobstructed.
