• Do not place hot food in the appliance.
• You should never place hazardous, highly flammable or explosive substances such as alcohol, acetone or petrol in the
appliance, because there will be a hazard of explosion.
• Carefully package meat and fish to prevent unpleasant smells.
• Do not place food against the rear wall of the appliance.
• Allow cooked food that you want to store in the appliance to cool down to room temperature before placing it in the appliance.
• Leave sufficient space between the different foods, to allow the air to circulate properly.
• Do not leave the door open for longer than necessary.
• The interior lighting starts to flash when the door of the cooler section has remained open for too long.
• Do not freeze too much at once. The quicker the freezing process, the longer the quality of the food is maintained.
• Place the deep-freeze products in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. Make sure they do not defrost during
transport. Storage of freshly frozen and deep-freeze products depends on the type of food.
• Do not place glass bottles or cans in the freezer. These can break when the contents freezes. Carbonated drinks could even
explode. Therefore never store lemonade, beer, wine, champaign, etc. in the freezer.
• Keep ventilation holes free. Covered and dirty holes cause a higher energy consumption. Ensure sufficient space around
the appliance, so that a proper ventilation and air flow around the appliance is possible.
• Set the thermostat to a lower setting if circumstances allow.
• Frost or ice will increase power consumption. Therefore, these should be removed regularly once they are 3 to 5 mm thick.
• A door rubber that does not close properly could increase the power consumption. Therefore, have it replaced by a skilled
person in time.
• If the instructions are not observed, this could lead to a higher power consumption.
Regularly clean the appliance to guarantee a proper function. Before cleaning the appliance, switch it off by switching off
the thermostat [0] and removing the plug from the wall socket.
DEFROSTING
Defrost the appliance when the layer of ice has reached a thickness of 3 to 5 mm.
Switch off the thermostat knob [0] and remove the plug from the socket. Remove all food from the appliance.
Store any frozen products on a cool location, packaged in newspapers and blankets.
Place a receptacle under the appliance and wait for the ice to defrost. Defrosting can be accelerated by placing a tray with hot
water in the appliance.
Remove ice using a plastic ice scraper.
Warning: Never remove ice with sharp objects, defrosting sprays, a hair dryer, a heater or something similar. This could lead
to unsafe situations and cause irreparable damage to the appliance.
Clean the interior of the appliance. Use warm soapy water with a neutral cleaning
agent to prevent nasty smells. Wipe the inside of the refrigerator after cleaning
with clean water and properly wipe everything dry. Leave the appliance to dry for
1 to 2 hours. The shelves, vegetable drawer and door compartments can be removed
from the refrigerator easily and washed by hand. The components may not be
cleaned in the dishwasher.
The defrost water runs via the drain gutter to the receptacle in which it will evaporate.
The defrost water gutter must be cleaned regularly. Make sure the hole does not get
blocked up. The defrost water gutter will start to overflow and defrost water will end up in the appliance.
For areas in the appliance that are difficult to clean, such as small openings or corners, it is recommended
wiping them clean regularly with a soft cloth or brush. If necessary, a tool can be used, such as a thin stick
(a cocktail stick, for example), to make sure no contamination can occur in these areas.
Clean the outside of the appliance and the door rubbers with a soft damp cloth.
Clean the rear of the appliance at least once per year with a vacuum cleaner so that the condenser and ventilation holes remain
clean and the refrigerator is able to function as optimal as possible.
