User Control Panel

1. Temperature Setting of the Fridge Compartment

Use the temperature setting knob to adjust the fridge compartment temperature. Settings are OFF, COLD (warmest), COLDER, and COLDEST (coldest). The appliance may not operate correctly in very hot environments or with frequent door opening. The appliance does not work when set to OFF.

2. Temperature Setting of the Freezer Compartment

Use the freezer temperature setting slider. Moving the slider towards the snowflake symbol (❄️) makes the compartment colder; moving it away makes it warmer. The middle position is recommended for normal use. For the lowest temperature, adjust the fridge knob to COLDEST and position the freezer slider accordingly.

3. Temperature Setting Recommendation

Notes:

• Avoid '☀️' and '❄️' settings in winter or temperatures below 16°C.
• For energy saving, '❄️' and '❄️❄️' settings are for special needs like quick-freezing or ice making and should be returned to normal settings afterward.

Daily Use

First Use

Helpful Hints and Tips

Hints for Freezing

• Freeze only top quality, fresh, and thoroughly cleaned foodstuffs.
• Prepare food in small portions for rapid freezing and easy thawing.
• Wrap food in airtight packaging (e.g., aluminum foil, polythene bags).
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch already frozen food.
• Lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces storage life.
• Consume water ices immediately after removal to avoid frost burns.
• Show the freezing date on each pack to keep track of storage time.

Hints for Storage of Frozen Food

• Ensure frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer.
• Transfer frozen foodstuffs to the freezer as quickly as possible.
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than necessary.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.

Hints for Fresh Food Refrigeration

• Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator.
• Cover or wrap food, especially if it has a strong flavour.

Hints for Refrigeration

• Wrap meat in polythene bags and place on glass shelves. Store for a maximum of one or two days.
• Cover cooked foods and cold dishes.
• Clean fruits and vegetables and place them in the special drawer.
• Use airtight containers or wrap butter and cheese to exclude air.
• Store milk bottles with caps in the door balconies.
• Do not pack bananas, potatoes, onions, and garlic.
• Ensure all drawers, baskets, and shelves are in place for energy efficiency.

Cleaning

Clean the appliance interior and accessories regularly with lukewarm water and mild soap. Dry thoroughly.

Caution! Disconnect the appliance from the mains before cleaning. Danger of electrical shock! Never use a steam cleaner. Moisture can damage electrical components.
