wrap and place on the glass shelf above the

vegetable drawer. Always follow food

storage times and use by dates suggested by

manufacturers.

• Cooked food, cold dishes, etc.:

• They should be covered and may be placed

on any shelf.

• Fruit and vegetables:

• They should be stored in the special drawer

provided.

• Butter and cheese:

• Should be wrapped in airtight foil or plastic f

i lm wrap.

• Milk bottles:

Should have a lid and be stored in the door

racks.

Hints for freezing

• When first starting-up or after a period out

of use, let the appliance run at least 2 hours

on the higher settings before putting food in

the compartment.

• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to

be rapidly and completely frozen and to

make it possible to subsequently thaw only

the quantity required.

• Wrap up the food In aluminum foil or

polyethylene food wraps which are airtight.

• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch

the food which is already frozen to avoid

temperature rise of the latter.

• Iced products, if consumed immediately

after removal from the freezer

compartment, will probably cause frost

burns to the skin.

• It is recommended to label and date each

frozen package in order to keep track of the

storage time.

Hints for the storage of frozen food

• Ensure that frozen food has been stored

correctly by the food retailer.

• Once defrosted, food will deteriorate rapidly

and should not be re-frozen. Do not exceed

the storage period indicated by the food

manufacturer.

Switching off your appliance

If the appliance needs to be switched off for an

extended period, the following steps should be

taken prevent mould on the appliance.

1.

Remove all food.

2.

Remove the power plug from the mains

socket.

Cleaning and care

For hygienic reasons the appliance (including

exterior and interior accessories) should be

cleaned regularly (at least every two months).

Caution! The appliance must not be connected to

the mains during cleaning as there is a danger of

electrical shock.

Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning switch

the appliance off and remove the plug from the

mains socket.

Exterior cleaning

-Wipe the control panel with a clean, soft cloth.

-Spray water onto the cleaning cloth instead of

spraying directly on the surface of the appliance.

This helps ensure an even distribution of

moisture to the surface.

-Clean the doors, handles and cabinet surfaces

with a mild detergent and then wiped dry with a

soft cloth.

Caution!

-Don't use sharp objects as they are likely to

scratch the surface.

-Don't use Thinner, Car detergent, Clorox,

ethereal oil, abrasive cleansers or organic solvent

such as Benzene for cleaning.

They may damage the surface of the appliance

and may cause fire.

Interior cleaning

You should clean the appliance interior regularly.

Wipe the inside of the fridge freezer with a weak

solution of bicarbonate of soda, and then rinse

with warm water using a wrung-out sponge or

cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the

shelves and baskets.

Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts.

Although this appliance automatically defrosts, a

layer of frost may occur on the freezer

compartment's interior frequently or kept open

too long. If the frost is too thick, choose a time

when the supply of food stocks are low and

proceed as follows:

1.

Remove existing food and accessories

baskets, unplug the appliance from the

mains power and leave the doors open.

Ventilate the room thoroughly to accelerate

the thawing process.

2.

When defrosting is completed, clean your

freezer as described above.

Caution! Don't use sharp objects to remove frost

from the freezer compartment. Only after the

interior is completely dry should the appliance be

switched back on and plugged back into the

mains socket.

Door seals cleaning

Take care to keep door seals clean. Sticky food

and drinks can cause seals to stick to the cabinet

and tear when you open the door. Wash seal

with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and

dry it thoroughly after cleaning.

Caution! Only after the door seals are completely

dry should the appliance be powered on.

Replacing the LED light

Warning: The LED light should be replaced by a

competent person! If the LED light is damaged,

contact the customer helpline for assistance.

Defrosting

Why defrosting

Water contained in food or getting into air inside

the fridge be opening doors may form a frost

layer inside. It will weaken the refrigeration when

the frost is thick. While it is more than 10mm

thick, you should defrost.

Defrosting in fresh food storage compartment

It is automatically controlled by switching the

temperature regulator on or off so that there is

no need of operation of defrosting. Water from

defrosting will be drained into an drip tray

through a drain pipe at the back of the fridge

automatically.

Defrosting in frozen-food storage compartment

• Defrosting in freezer chamber is operated

manually. Before defrosting, take the food

out.

• Take the ice tray and food in drawers out or

put them into the fresh food compartment

temporarily.

• Set the knob of the temperature regulator to

position “0” (where the compressor will stop

working) and leave the door of the

refrigerator open until ice and frost dissolve

thoroughly and accumulation at the bottom

of the freezer chamber. Wipe off the water

with soft cloth.

• In the case of speeding up the process of

defrosting, you may put a bowl of warm

water (about 50°C) into the freezer chamber,

and scrape away the ice and frost with a

defrosting spatula. After doing so, be sure to

set the knob of the temperature regulator to

the original position.

• It is not advisable to heat the freezer

chamber directly with hot water or hair dryer

while defrosting to avoid deformation of the

inner case.

• It is also not advisable to scrape off ice and

frost or separate food from the containers

which have been congealed together with

the food with sharp tools or wooden bars, so

as not to damage the inner casing or the

surface of the evaporator.

Warning! Switching off the appliance before

defrosting, turn the temperature regulator to

position “0”.

Important! The fridge should be defrosted at

least every one month. During the using process,

if the door was opened frequently or using the

appliance in the extreme humidity, we advise the

user to defrost every two weeks.

Go out of use for a long time

• Remove all refrigerated packages.

• Switch off the appliance by turning the

temperature regulator to position “0”.

• Remove the mains plug or switch off or

disconnect the electricity supply.

• Clean thoroughly (see section: Cleaning and

Care).

• Leave the door open to avoid the build up of

odors.

Note: If the appliance contains freezer

compartment.
