4. Setup and Installation
4.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials. Ensure no parts are missing or damaged. Keep packaging materials out of reach of children.
4.2 Placement
Choose a location that is dry, well-ventilated, and away from direct sunlight or heat sources (e.g., oven, radiator). Ensure there is sufficient space around the appliance for proper air circulation, as indicated in the dimensions diagram.
The appliance must be level to function correctly. Adjust the leveling feet if necessary.
4.3 Electrical Connection
Connect the appliance to a dedicated, properly grounded electrical outlet. The voltage (240 Volt) must match the rating on the appliance's data plate. Do not use extension cords or adapters.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Control Panel
The electronic TouchControl panel is located on the exterior of the refrigerator door. Use it to adjust temperature settings, activate special functions, and monitor the appliance status.
5.2 Temperature Settings
The recommended temperature for the refrigerator compartment is +5°C (41°F) and for the freezer compartment is -18°C (0°F). Adjust these settings using the TouchControl panel according to your needs and the ambient temperature.
5.3 CustomFlex System
The CustomFlex system allows you to customize the door storage. The modular bins can be easily moved and repositioned on the door to accommodate items of various sizes, maximizing your storage flexibility.
5.4 ExtraChill Drawer
The ExtraChill drawer maintains a temperature slightly lower than the main refrigerator compartment, making it ideal for storing fresh meat, fish, and delicate produce. This helps to preserve their freshness and nutrients for longer periods.
5.5 Food Storage Guidelines
- Store raw meat and fish in sealed containers on the lowest shelf to prevent dripping onto other foods.
- Wrap or cover all food items to prevent drying out and odor transfer.
- Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator; allow it to cool down first.
- Avoid overloading the refrigerator, as this can impede air circulation and cooling efficiency.
6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Clean the interior regularly with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Remove shelves and drawers for easier cleaning.
6.2 Exterior Cleaning
Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with water and a mild detergent. For stainless steel surfaces, use a specialized stainless steel cleaner to maintain its finish. Avoid getting water into the control panel area.
