General safety
WARNING!
• Take care when moving the product. The product is heavy.
• Do not stand on any parts of the product or use any parts of the product as supports.
WARNING!
Risk of electric shock!
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• If the power socket is loose, do not plug in the power plug. There is a risk of electric shock and fire.
• Do not pull on the power cord when you unplug the product. Grab the power plug firmly and pull it out of
the power socket.

Storing food
Store food in the fridge
WARNING!
Do not overload the shelves, door racks or put too much food in the drawers to avoid items falling and
causing injury or damage to the fridge freezer.
CAUTION!
• Always follow food storage times and expiration dates suggested by manufacturers.
• Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the
compartments.
• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the fridge, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto
other food.
CAUTION!
Do not close the door while any shelves are extended or drawers are open. It may damage the shelves,
drawers and door.

Using your fridge freezer - ENGLISH 15
NOTE!
To avoid wasting energy:
• Do not store warm food or evaporating liquid in the fridge freezer. Placing hot food directly into the fridge
or freezer causes the internal temperature to rise resulting in the compressor having to work harder and
therefore consume more energy.
• Do not keep the doors open for longer periods.
Use the following tips and recommendations when storing food in the fridge.
When refrigerating fresh food:
• Cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
• Place the food so that air can circulate freely around it.
Other refrigerating recommendations:
Food Recommendation
Meat (all types) Wrap in polythene and place on the glass shelf above the
drawer for fruit and vegetables or in the fresh box with a
low temperature setting
Cooked food, cold dishes etc. Cover and place on any shelf
Fruit and vegetables Store in the drawer for fruit and vegetables
Butter and cheese Wrap in airtight foil or plastic film wrap
Milk bottles, other bottled drinks, and canned liquids Ensure bottles have a lid and store in the door racks or on
the flexible wine rack
Eggs and packed foods Store in the door racks, put eggs in the egg holder
Store food in the freezer
WARNING!
• Do not place food or containers in the freezer compartment with wet hands when the fridge freezer is
running, especially metal containers, to avoid the risk of skin abrasions and ice burns.
• Do not consume frozen food, such as ice popsicles and ice cubes, straight from the freezer. This may
cause ice burns.
CAUTION!
• Always follow food storage times and use by dates suggested by manufacturers.
• Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the
compartments.
• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip
onto other food.
• Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freezer compartment as it creates pressure in the
container, which may cause it to explode and damage the product.
• Make sure that bottles are not left in the freezer for longer than needed. Freezing may cause the bottles
to break.
CAUTION!
Do not close the door while any drawers are open. It may damage the drawers and the door.
Use the following tips and recommendations when storing food in the freezer.

16 Using your fridge freezer - ENGLISH
• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and in turn make it possible to thaw
only the quantity required. Once defrosted, food will deteriorate rapidly and should not be frozen again.
• When food freezes too slowly, it can lose quality or go bad.
• Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or polyethylene food wraps which are airtight. Wipe containers dry before placing
them in the freezer.
• Label and date each frozen package in order to keep track of the storage time. Remove as many items as needed at
one time.
• Do not allow fresh unfrozen food to touch the food which is already frozen to avoid temperature rise of the latter.
• Ensure that frozen food has been stored correctly by the food retailer.
Make ice cubes
Use the ice cube tray to make ice cubes.
1. Fill the ice cube tray with water.
NOTE! The water level shall not exceed the top line (ideally eighty percent of volume in the ice cube tray is filled
with water).
 

Using your fridge freezer - ENGLISH 17
2. Place the ice cube tray in a drawer in the freezer and wait at least two hours for the water to freeze into ice cubes.
 
3. Gently twist the tray to separate the ice cubes from the tray.
 
Change the temperature in the Fresh Box
Set the temperature in the box to accomodate for different types of food. See the following table for examples of
recommended settings and storage options. The average temperture set for the whole refrigerator compartment affects
the temperature in the box. The temperature in the box is normally 2°C lower than the rest of the compartment.
NOTE!
It is normal for liquid to freeze in the box as the temperature may be lower than 0°C.

18 Using your fridge freezer - ENGLISH
1. Move the slide bar to the right to decrease the temperature. Move the slide bar to the left to increase the
temperature.
 
Change the humidity level in the Fruit & Vegetables Box
Set the humidity level in the box to accomodate for different types of food. The crisper cover for the box allows for better
control of the temperature and keeps the fruits and vegetables from losing moisture.
A higher level of humidity can keep fruit and vegetables fresh for a longer period of time.
1. Move the slide bar to the right to decrease the humidity level. Move the slide bar to the left to increase the humidity
level.

Cleaning and maintenance - ENGLISH 19
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Clean the exterior
Clean the exterior every two months. This will help maintain a good appearance of the fridge freezer.
WARNING!
• Unplug the fridge freezer before cleaning. There is a risk of electric shock.
• Do not use metal objects, sharp objects, steam cleaner, thinner, car detergent, clorox, ethereal oil,
abrasive cleansers or organic solvent such as benzene for cleaning. They may damage the surface of the
product and may cause fire.
CAUTION!
• Regularly clean surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems.
1. Press and hold for 3seconds to turn off the fridge freezer.
An acoustic signal sounds and OF is displayed. The fridge freezer is turned off.
 
2. Unplug the fridge freezer.
 

20 Cleaning and maintenance - ENGLISH
3. Wipe the control panel with a clean, soft cloth.
 
4. Clean the doors, handles and cabinet surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with, for example, mild detergent.
Spray water onto the cleaning cloth instead of spraying directly on the surface of the fridge freezer.
This helps ensure an even distribution of moisture on the surface.
 
5. Wipe the doors, handles and cabinet surfaces dry with a soft cloth.
 
Clean the interior
Clean the interior every two months. It will be easier to clean when food stocks are low.
