Usage Features:
- Temperature Regulation: The appliance's temperature can be regulated progressively from 2°C to 8°C using a temperature regulator button. The recommended setting is 4°C. The set temperature is reached within 24 hours and is stored after a power failure.
- Frostmatic Function: This function is used for pre-freezing and fast freezing in the freezer compartment. It accelerates the freezing of fresh food and protects already stored frozen items from warming. It should be activated at least 24 hours before placing food to be frozen and stops automatically after 52 hours, or can be deactivated manually.
- Door Open Alarm: An acoustic alarm sounds if the fridge door is left open for approximately 5 minutes. The sound can be muted by pressing any button and switches off automatically after about an hour or when the door is closed.
- Positioning Door Shelves: The door shelves are adjustable to accommodate food packages of various sizes. They can be pulled up and repositioned as desired.
- Movable Shelves: The refrigerator walls are equipped with runners, allowing shelves to be positioned flexibly. A variable storage box can also be moved sideways.
- Vegetable Drawer: A dedicated drawer at the bottom is provided for storing fruits and vegetables.
- Freezing Fresh Food: The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing and long-term storage of fresh, frozen, and deep-frozen food. Food should be wrapped and sealed in appropriate materials (aluminum foil, plastic film, bags, airtight containers) and divided into small portions for efficient freezing. Labels and dates are recommended for frozen food.
- Storage of Frozen Food: When first using or after a period of disuse, the appliance should run for at least 3 hours with the Frostmatic function on before storing products. Food should be kept at least 15 mm from the door.
- Thawing Food: Deep-frozen or frozen food can be thawed in the refrigerator or in a plastic bag under cold water.
- Energy Saving Hints: Avoid frequent or prolonged door openings, ensure good ventilation, and do not set the freezer temperature colder than necessary. For the fridge, use the recommended temperature setting (4°C) and ensure drawers and shelves are evenly distributed. If ambient temperature is high and the appliance is fully loaded with a low temperature setting, adjust to a higher temperature to prevent continuous compressor operation and frost formation.
- Food Storage Hints: Cover food with packaging to preserve freshness and aroma. Use closed containers for liquids and odorous foods. Separate cooked and raw food to prevent cross-contamination. Defrost food inside the fridge. Do not insert hot food; allow it to cool to room temperature first. Place new stock behind old stock to prevent waste.
- Shopping Tips: Check packaging for damage, transport frozen goods in an insulated bag, and place them in the freezer immediately upon returning home. Do not refreeze partially defrosted food.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning the Interior: Before first use, wash the interior and accessories with lukewarm water and neutral soap, then dry thoroughly. Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, chlorine, or oil-based cleaners. Accessories are not suitable for dishwashers.
- Periodic Cleaning: Clean the interior and accessories regularly with lukewarm water and neutral soap. Check and wipe door seals clean. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Defrosting the Refrigerator: Frost is automatically eliminated from the refrigerator evaporator. Defrost water drains into a container at the back of the appliance and evaporates. Periodically clean the defrost water drain hole (under salad drawers) using the provided tube cleaner to prevent water overflow.
- Defrosting the Freezer: Defrost when the frost layer reaches 3-5 mm thickness. Switch off the appliance, remove the plug, and remove stored food to a cool place. Leave the door open and protect the floor from defrost water. To speed up defrosting, place a pot of warm water inside. Do not use sharp metal tools or mechanical devices to accelerate defrosting. After defrosting, dry the interior, switch on the appliance, close the door, set the temperature regulator to maximum coldness, and run for at least 3 hours before returning food.
- Cleaning Air Channels: Remove the plinth and ventilation grid, then carefully pull out the air deflector and clean the lower part of the appliance with a vacuum cleaner.
- Period of Non-Operation: For long periods of non-use, disconnect the appliance, remove all food, defrost, clean, and leave doors open to prevent smells.
- Replacing the Lamp: The appliance uses a long-life LED interior light. Only authorized service centers are permitted to replace the lighting device.
- Closing the Door: Clean door gaskets and adjust the door if necessary.
The manual emphasizes safety throughout, including warnings about installation, electrical connection, and general use.
