maximum storage time during malfunc-
tion can be taken from the appliance
specification sheet at the end of the
manual. Because of the higher interior
temperature, the storage time for food
is shortened.
Data for expiry dates of frozen food are
indicated in the chart per month.
Do not store the frozen food longer than
the given time in the freezer. Pay atten-
tion to the expiry date of the frozen food
indicated by producer.
Refrigerator:
• Store the food only packaged or
covered in the refrigerator, in order to
sustain the flavour and the freshness.
Especially foods with a strong smell or
prone to absorbing smell (cheese, fish,
butter, among others) have to be stored
separately.
• At first, set an average cooling temper-
ature. If the cooling is too strong, set a
higher temperature and if the cooling is
too weak, set a lower temperature.
If frost is built upon the back wall,
then the cause of this could be that
the door was opened too long, warm
dishes were in the appliance or the
temperature was set too low.
• Warm foods have to be cooled down
to room temperature before they can
be stored in the appliance.
• Make sure that the door is closed
correctly and that it is not blocked by
cooled food.
Cleaning and Defrosting (Main-
tenance)
Cleaning
• Always pull the mains plug before
cleaning.
• Do not pour water into the appliance.
• Tepid water with a bit of washing-up
liquid is suitable for the regular mainte-
nance. In order to avoid an unpleasant
smell in the cooling room, a cleaning
of the latter once a month is recom-
mended.
• Clean the equipment separately with
rinsing water, not in the dishwasher.
• Do not use aggressive, abrasive or
alcoholic detergents.
• After cleaning it with clear water, wipe
the surface and carefully dry it off.
Subsequently, plug the mains plug with
dry hands.
• In order to save energy and maintain
the efficiency, you should clean the
condenser (on the backside) and the
compressor at least twice a year with a
broom or vacuum cleaner.
• The rating label in the interior of the
appliance cannot be damaged or even
removed while cleaning.
Defrosting
Defrosting the freezer
If the ice layer in the interior is 2-4 mm
thick, the freezer must be defrosted.
Clean it at least twice a year.
• Disconnect the mains plug from the
socket.
• Remove food from the freezer and store
it as cool as possible, e.g., together
with ice packs and covered in a plastic
recipient. Please remember that the
lifetime of the goods is shortened by
the temperature increase and that they
should be consumed as quickly as
possible.
