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. Please also observe the spacing dimensions in the chapter “Installation”.
The arrangement of drawers, shelves and trays as shown in the product overview offers the most efficient use of energy and should be retained as far as possible.
To obtain a larger storage space (e.g. for large refrigerated/frozen goods), the middle drawers and shelves 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.
Allow warm food to cool before placing it in the refrigerator/freezer compartment. Food that has already cooled down increases energy efficiency.
Allow frozen food to defrost in the refrigeration compartment. 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.
Setting the temperature no colder than necessary contributes to optimal energy use.
The door gaskets of your appliance must be perfectly intact so that the doors close properly and energy consumption is not increased unnecessarily.

Optional Features
How to use the water dispenser (optional)
The water dispenser allows access to chilled water without having to open the refrigerator door. The number of door openings is thus reduced, less cold air is lost from the refrigerator and you save on electricity costs.
Filling the water tank (Figure 1)
Diagram Description: Figure 1 shows the water tank with its cap open, ready to be filled.
- Open the cap of the water tank.
- Fill with pure and clean drinking water.
- Do not overfill the tank.
- Close the cap.
? [ATTENTION] Do not fill water tank with any liquid other than drinking water. Beverages such as fruit juice, carbonated fizzy soda drinks and alcohol are not suitable for use with the water dispenser. If such liquids are used, the water dispenser may malfunction and be damaged beyond repair. Some chemical ingredients and drink additives may also attack and damage the water tank material. The guarantee does not cover such eventualities.
Using the dispenser (Figure 2)
Diagram Description: Figure 2 shows a hand pressing the lever of the water dispenser with a glass underneath.
- Push in the lever of the water dispenser with your glass.
- Releasing the lever, stops further dispensing of water.
- Flow rate is dependent on how far the lever is pushed back: Fully back = full flow; Gently back = trickle
- As the level of water in your cup/glass rises, gently reduce the amount of pressure on the lever to avoid overflow.
How to make ice (optional)
Gently pull out the ice tray and fill the ice tray with water to the water level line. Then carefully replace the ice tray horizontally.
When the ice cubes are ready, turn the knob clockwise (turn to the end and release), the ice cubes will drop from the ice tray into the ice box.
Diagram Description: Shows an ice tray being filled with water and then ice cubes being released into an ice box.
? [ATTENTION] In order to make ice cubes quickly, set the freezer to the lowest temperature, or select the Quick Freeze Mode. This will make the temperature of the freezer lower. Do not over-fill with water. It may become difficult to remove the ice cubes from ice tray and any trickle of water into the ice box will make the ice cubes freeze together. If the knob is turned before the ice cubes are ready, any remaining water will trickle into the ice box and cause the ice cubes to freeze together.
Storing food
Freezer compartment
The freezer compartment is designated for the low-temperature freezing of food, long-term storage of frozen food, and for the production of ice cubes.
Pay attention to the star classifications (4 star, 2 star and 1 star) in the freezer compartment and the resulting storage periods for frozen food.
Do not put fresh and frozen food next to each other. The frozen food may thaw.
When freezing large amounts of fresh food (such as meat, fish or chopped meat), please divide them into several small pieces before putting in, so that they can be quickly frozen and pick up easily.
Abide by the storage times recommended by food manufacturers on the packages; if there is no information on the packaging, food should not be stored frozen 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 individual packages to ensure that adjacent food cannot be contaminated. Consume thawed and defrosted foods immediately, do not refreeze them.
In case of prolonged power failure or malfunction of the appliance, remove the stored frozen food and check whether they are still edible, then store them in a sufficiently cool place or in another appliance.
To defrost food, remove it from the freezer and let it defrost at room temperature or in the refrigerator. To defrost food quickly, you can use the defrost function on your microwave, for example.
If you only want to defrost part of a pack, remove the portion you need and immediately close the rest of the pack. In this way, you will avoid “freezer burn” and will reduce ice formation on the remaining foods.
Cooling compartment
To reduce moisture and subsequent ice build-up, never put liquid into the fridge compartment 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 fridge compartment. These should first cool down at room temperature and then be placed so as to ensure adequate air circulation in the fridge compartment.
Foods or food containers should not touch the back wall of the fridge 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 fridge compartment, which can be used in 1-2 days.
Fruit and vegetables without packaging can be placed in the part designated for fresh fruit and vegetables.
? [ATTENTION] Storage of too much food during operation after the initial connection to power may adversely affect the freezing effect of the refrigerator.
Storage times and temperature
Note: Overlong storage or storage at inappropriate freezing temperature may cause a quality loss or spoiled foods, which causes food waste, is inedible and may cause food poisoning. The minimum temperature in most cases should be -18°C or colder.
Follow the maximum recommended storage times below:
- Stew, ice cream, sausages, bread: 2-6 months.
- Fish, shrimp, lamb, meat: 4-8 months.
- Vegetables, fruits, poultry, beef: 6-12 months.

Sounds During Normal Use
Certain sounds can be heard during normal use of the refrigerator, which do not affect its correct operation.
Sounds, which can be easily prevented:
- Noise caused by the appliance which is not level - adjust the position with the adjustable turn-in front feet. Alternatively, place pads made of soft material under the rear rollers, especially when the appliance is placed on tiles.
- Touching the adjacent piece of furniture - move the refrigerator away.
- Creaking of the drawers or shelves - take out and put back the drawer or shelf.
- Sounds of clinking bottles - move bottles apart.
Sounds heard during normal use are mainly due to operation of the compressor (switching on) and cooling system (thermal expansion and contraction of the radiator caused by flow of the cooling agent).
