ATTENTION Precautions before operation: Before making changes the refrigerator must be disconnected from power. Precautions should be taken to prevent any personal injury. Changing the light · Any replacement or maintenance of the LED lamps is intended to be made by the manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualified person. ATTENTION This product contains a light source of energy efficiency class (G). Connecting the appliance After installing the appliance, connect the power plug into a socket outlet. ATTENTION After connecting the power supply cord (or plug) to the outlet, wait 2 or 3 hours before you put food into the appliance. If you add food before the appliance has cooled completely, your food may spoil. 09 Tips for energy saving · Do not place the appliance near cookers, radiators or other heat sources. If the ambient temperature is high, the compressor will run more frequently and for longer, resulting in increased energy consumption. · Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation at the base of the appliance, on the sides of the appliance and at the back of the appliance. Never cover ventilation openings. · Please also observe the spacing dimensions in the chapter "Installation". · The arrangement of drawers, shelves and racks as shown in the illustration offers the most efficient use of energy and should therefore be retained as far as possible. All drawers and shelves should remain in the appliance to keep the temperature stable and save energy. · To obtain a larger storage space (e.g. for large refrigerated/frozen goods), the middle drawers can be removed. The top and bottom drawers and shelves should be removed last if necessary. · An evenly filled refrigerator/freezer compartment contributes to optimal energy use. Therefore, avoid empty or half-empty compartments. · Allow warm food to cool before placing it in the refrigerator/freezer. Food that has already cooled down increases energy efficiency. · Allow frozen food to defrost in the refrigerator. The coldness of the frozen food reduces the energy consumption in the refrigerator compartment and thus increases the energy efficiency. · Open the door only as briefly as necessary to minimise cold loss. Opening the door briefly and closing it properly reduces energy consumption. · The door seals of your appliance must be perfectly intact so that the doors close properly and energy consumption is not increased unnecessarily. 10 OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS Control panel Display Button 1 Refrigerating chamber temperature display area A Temperature setting button of refrigerating chamber 2 Freezing chamber temperature display area B Temperature setting button of freezing chamber 3 Super cool icon C Super cool/super freezing button 4 Super freeze icon 5 Vacation icon 6 Lock icon ATTENTION The actual control panel may differ from model to model.

Fault code E1 E2 E3 E5 E6 E7 Fault Description Temperature sensor failure of refrigerating chamber Temperature sensor failure of freezing chamber Temperature sensor failure of meat & fish zone Freezing defrost sensor detection circuit error Communication error Ambient temperature sensor error 13 Tips on storing food Freezer compartment · The freezer is designated for the storage of food frozen at very low temperature, long-term storage of frozen food, and for the production of ice. · Only use the shelves in the door of the freezer to store frozen food, not for storing hot food designated for freezing. · Do not put fresh and frozen food next to each other. The frozen food may thaw. · When freezing fresh food (such as meat, fish or chopped meat), cut them into parts that can be used at the same time. · Storing frozen food: instructions are usually stated on the packages, which must be followed. If there is no information on the packaging, food should not be stored for longer than three months from the date of purchase. · When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it was frozen at a suitable temperature and that the packaging is not damaged. · Frozen food should be kept in suitable packages to retain the quality and should be returned to the freezer compartment as soon as possible. · If a package of frozen food shows moisture or abnormal bulging, it is probable that it was stored at the wrong temperature and the content is spoiled. · The storage period for frozen food depends on the room temperature, the thermostat setting, the frequency of opening the door of the freezer, the type of food and the time of transporting the product from the shop to the household. Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging and never exceed the maximum storage time stated on the package. Cooling compartment · To reduce moisture and subsequent ice build-up, never put liquid into the refrigerator in unsealed containers. Frost tends to concentrate in the coolest parts of the evaporator. Storing uncovered liquids results in a more frequent need for defrosting. · Never put warm foods in the refrigerator. These should first cool down at room temperature and then be placed so as to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator. · Foods or food containers should not touch the back wall of the refrigerator because they could freeze to the wall. Do not keep regularly opening the door of the refrigerator. · Meat and clean fish (packed in a package or plastic foil) can be placed in the refrigerator, which can be used in 12 days. · Fruit and vegetables without packaging can be placed in the part designated for fresh fruit and vegetables. ATTENTION The optimal temperature setting of each compartment depends on the ambient temperature. Above optimal temperature is based on the ambient temperature of 25 °C. 14 Order Compartments TYPE Target storage temp.
