Do not exceed these storage times.
However, always observe the manufacturer's use-by dates for the frozen food.
– If the unit remains switched off for an extended period (eg during a power failure), the door
should be kept closed; this will help to maintain the lowest possible temperature in the cabinet.
The product data sheet contains detailed information of the maximum safe storage time in case
of malfunction. Even a slight rise in the inside temperature will shorten the storage life of the
food.
Main cabinet
– Different areas of the refrigerator cabinet are affected differently by the cooling effect. The
warmest area is around the door in the higher part of the cabinet, the coldest around the rear wall
and in the lower part of the cabinet.
– The food should therefore be stored as follows:
– On main cabinet shelves (from top to bottom): bakery items, ready meals, dairy products, meat,
fish and cold meats/sausages.
– In the vegetable compartment: vegetables, salad and fruit.
– In the door (from top to bottom): butter, cheese, eggs, tubes (eg mustard), small bottles, large
bottles, milk and fruit-juice tetra-packs.
– Initially, the temperature control should be set to position 4. If the cooling effect is too strong,
lower it to position 1-3; if it is insufficient, raise it to 5-7.
If you notice frost on the rear wall, the most likely cause is that the door has been left open
for too long, or that warm food has been placed inside the refrigerator or that the
temperature control has been set too high.
– Liquid or strong-smelling food, or food which is likely to absorb strong odours (e.g. cheese, fish,
butter), should be stored separately or in hermetically sealed containers.
– Warm food should be left to cool down to room temperature before being placed in the
refrigerator.
– Always ensure that the door is properly closed and that the seal is not obstructed by food stored
inside the cabinet or door.
Making ice cubes
A special ice-cube tray is provided for making ice cubes. Fill the tray ¾ full with drinking water and
place it in the freezer compartment. The ice cubes are easier to remove from the tray if the tray is left
standing at room temperature for 5 minutes.
De-frosting and cleaning
– Always remove the plug from the wall socket before cleaning.
– Do not pour water over or inside the unit.
– For frequent cleaning we recommend the use of warm water with some mild detergent. To
prevent any unpleasant odour within the refrigerator, it should be cleaned about once a month.
– Any accessories should be cleaned separately with soapy water. Do not put them in a dishwasher.
– Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions or any cleaning agents that contain alcohol.
– After cleaning, thoroughly clean all surfaces with fresh water before wiping them completely dry.
When re-inserting the plug into the wall socket ensure that you have dry hands.
– To save energy and to ensure optimum performance, the condenser (at the rear) as well as the
compressor should be cleaned at least twice a year with a broom or a vacuum cleaner.
– Take care not to remove or damage the rating plate inside the cabinet during cleaning.
