Use of the fridge compartment
How to use the refrigerator
Sufficient air circulation is required
for the proper operation of this
appliance. For this reason you are asked
not to cover the air circulation gaps
behind the shelves (e.g. with tray etc.).
Do not put hot food into the
refrigerator. Allow it to reach
room temperature naturally. In this
way unnecessary frost building up
can be avoided.
Food odours can be
transferable, so it is essential to
put foods in closed dishes or wrap
them in cellophane, aluminium foil,
grease-proof paper or cling film
before placing them into the
refrigerator. This way foods will keep
their moisture e.g. vegetables will not
dry out after some days.
Temperature regulation
The temperature of this compartment
may be regulated between +2°C and
+8°C.
During normal functioning the indicator
shows the temperature inside the fridge.
Attention!
A Difference between the temperature
displayed and the actual temperature is
normal. Especially when:
- a new setting has recently been
selected
- the door has been left open for a long
time
- warm food has been placed in the
compartment.
Holiday Function "H"
The holiday function sets the temperature
at + 15°C.
This function allows you to keep the
refrigerator shut and empty during a long
holiday period ( e. g. the summer
holidays) without the formation of a bad
smell.
1. To turn on the holiday function modify
the selected temperature. The
temperature indicator can modify the
displayed temperature up to + 8 °C, 1 °at
a time. + 2 °C will be followed by the
letter "H ". Press key E to confirm.

trays etc. as this will affect the air
circulation within the refrigerator
compartment.
Do not put hot foods in the
refrigerator, allow hot foods to reach
room temperature naturally before

STEP 1: PREPARING THE
CARTRIDGE
To prepare your BRITA filter cartridge,
please remove protective wrapper

boiled. When the instruction to boil
water is no longer in force, the entire
filter system must be cleaned and a
new cartridge inserted.

Storage of frozen food
Before first use or after a period out of
use, before putting the products in the
compartment let the appliance run for at
least 12 hours.
Temperature regulation
The temperature may be regulated
between -15°C and -24°C.
We suggest setting the internal
temperature of approximately -18°C,
which guarantees proper freezing and
conservation of the frozen foods.
