placing food in the appliance
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
The freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh foods and for storing frozen foods for the period of time on the
packaging and for making ice cubes.
• Do not freeze too large an amount of food at one time; the faster the food is frozen, the longer is preserves its qualities.
• Wrap and seal fresh food properly. The packaging should be air tight and shouldn't leak.
• Place frozen food in the freezer compartment as soon as possible after purchase. Make sure that it doesn't defrost
during transport.
• The length of time you can keep food depends very much on the quality of the food.
• Always mark the date and the content on the pack and do not exceed the stated storage time.
• Do not store glass bottles or containers with liquids in the freezer compartment which will freeze. The freezing may
cause the bottles to break. Highly carbonated drinks can even explode. Never keep lemonade, fruit juice, beer, wine,
champagne, etc. in the freezer.
• Once the food is thawed, it must not be refrozen: you must cook it as quickly as possible in order to consume or to freeze
again.
• In case of a power failure or malfunction, the freezer compartment will maintain a sufficiently low temperature for food
storage. However, avoid opening the door to slow down the temperature rise within the appliance.

cleaning & maintenance
Before cleaning the appliance, switch off the appliance with the on-/off button and remove the plug from the wall
socket.
Remove the food. Clean the interior of the appliance. Simply remove the drawers to clean them by hand. Do not clean the
interior accessories in the dishwasher. Use warm water and a neutral detergent, such as baking soda, to prevent any bad
smells occurring. Use two tablespoons and a quart liter of warm water. After cleaning, rinse the interior with clean water
and leave the door open to let it air dry for 1 to 2 hours before the power is turned on. Be careful not to affect the electrical
insulation properties when rinsing with water.
For areas that are difficult to clean in the appliance, such as narrow gaps or corners, it is recommended to wipe them
regularly with a soft rag, soft brush, etc. When necessary use some auxiliary tools, such as thin sticks (tooth picks), to ensure
no contamination can accumulate in these areas.
Clean the outside of the appliance and the door gasket with mild soap and water. Use a soft moist cloth.
We recommend that you dust the back of the appliance and on the floor with a cloth or vacuum cleaner once a year in order
to maintain a good output and low energy consumption.
Do not use hard brushes, cleaning steel wire balls, wire brushes, abrasives, such as toothpastes, organic solvents (such as
alcohol, acetone, oils, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline items to clean the refrigerator considering that this may damage
the fridge surface and interior. Boiling water and benzene may deform or damage plastic parts.
DEFROSTING THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT
Defrost the appliance when the layer of ice has reached a thickness of 3 to 5 mm.
Switch off the thermostat and remove the plug from the socket. Remove all food from the appliance.
Store any frozen products on a cool location, packaged in newspapers and blankets.
Place a receptacle under the appliance and wait for the ice to defrost. Defrosting can be accelerated by placing a tray with
hot water in the appliance.
Remove ice using a plastic ice scraper. Clean and dry the freezer. Switch the thermostat on to the right setting. When the
freezer compartment reaches its correct temperature, replace the food items.
Warning: Never remove ice with sharp objects, defrosting sprays, a hair dryer, a heater or something similar. This could lead
to unsafe situations and cause irreparable damage to the appliance.
