sources(e.g. stoves, heaters).
▶Install and level the appliance in an area suitable for its size and use.
▶Keep ventilation openings in the appliance or in the in-built struc-
ture clear of obstruction.
▶Make sure that the electrical information on the rating plate agrees
with the power supply. If it does not, contact an electrician.
▶The appliance is operated by a 220-240 VAC/50 Hz power sup-
ply. Abnormal voltage uctuation may cause the appliance to fail
to start, or damage to the temperature control or compressor, or
there may be an abnormal noise when operating. In such case, an
automatic regulator shall be mounted.
▶Use a separate earthed socket for the power supply which is easy
accessible. The appliance must be earthed.
▶Only for UK: The appliance’s power cable is tted with 3-cord

mestic water connection in order to be able to interrupt the water
supply if necessary.
▶The shut-o valve must be easy accessible after installation.
▶Install a pressure reducer when the water pressure in the hose
exceeds 0.6 MPa.
▶Make sure only the delivered hose set are used. Old hose-sets
should not be reused.
▶Only connect to drinking water supply.
▶Make sure the hose joints and connections are rm and there is
no leakage.

spirits) especially carbonated beverages in the freezer, as these
will burst during freezing.
▶Checkthe conditionoffoodif awarmingin thefreezer hastakenplace.
▶Do not set unnecessarily low temperature in the refrigerator
compartment. Minus temperatures may occur at high settings.
Attention: Bottles can burst.
▶Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands (wear gloves). Espe-
cially do not eat ice lollies immediately after removal from the
freezer compartment. There is the risk to freeze or the formation
of frost blisters. FIRST aid: keep immediately under running cold
water. Do not pull away!
▶Do not touch the inside surface of the freezer storage compart-
ment when in operation, especially with wet hands, as your hands
may freeze onto the surface.

5.11 Ice Maker function
This function allows to produce ice, which can be re-
moved through the dispenser.
The ice maker periodically receives an automatic ow
of water which is frozen into ice cubes. Capacity of the
ice maker depends on the ambient temperature, fre-
quency of freezer door openings, and the tempera-
ture setting of the freezer compartment. The maxi-
mum quantity of ice production per day is 1.58 kg if the
freezer temperature is set at -24 °C.

▶Water in the tray should be removed, as it could spill when the door opens and closes.
Notice: Filter change
▶For an impeccable quality of the ice cubes, it is important to change the water lter
regularly. If the water quality shows signs of deterioration, either visually or in taste,
the lter should be changed sooner – before the indicator light turns on.
▶After installation of new lter the next production of ice cubes (20 pieces approx)
should not be consumed.

5.14 Tips on storing fresh food
5.14.1 Storing into the fridge compartment
▶Keep your fridge temperature below 5 °C.
▶Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the appliance.
▶Foods stored in the fridge should be washed and dried before storing.
▶Food to be stored should be properly sealed to avoid odour or taste alterations.
▶Do not store excessive quantities of food. Leave spaces between foods to allow cold
air owing around them, for a better and more homogeneous cooling.
▶Foods eaten daily should be stored at the front of the shelf.
▶Leave a gap between foods and the inner walls, allowing air ow. Especially don’t
store foods against the rear wall: foods could freeze against rear wall. Avoid direct
contact of food (especially oily or acidic food) with the inner liner, as oil/acid can
erode the inner liner. Clean away oily/acid dirt whenever it is found.
▶Defreeze frozen food in the fridge storage compartment. This way, you can use the
frozen food to decrease the temperature in the compartment and save energy.
▶The ageing process of fruit and vegetables such as courgettes, melons, papaya, ba-
nana, pineapple, etc. can be accelerated in the fridge. Therefore, it is not advisable to
store them in the fridge. However, the ripening of strongly green fruits can be pro-
moted for a certain period. Onions, garlic, ginger and other root vegetables should
also be stored at room temperature.
▶Unpleasant odours inside the fridge are a sign that something has spilled and clean-
ing is required. See CARE AND CLEANING.
▶Dierent kinds of food should be placed in dierent areas according to their proper-
ties (Fig. 5.14.1):

5.14.2 Storage into the freezer compartment
▶Keep the freezer temperature at -18 °C.
▶12 hours before freezing additional items switch on the Super-Freeze function; for
small quantities of food 4-6 hours are sucient.
▶Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the freezer com-
partment.
▶Food cut into small portions will freeze faster and is easier to defrost and cook. The
recommended weight for each portion is less than 2.5 kg
▶It is better to pack food before putting it into the freezer. The outside of the pack-
aging must be dry to avoid bags sticking together. Packaging materials should be
odour-free, airtight, non-poisonous and nontoxic.
▶In order to avoid expiration of storage periods, please note the freezing date, time
limit and name of the food on the packaging according to the storage periods of dif-
ferent foods.
▶WARNING!: Acid, alkali and salt etc. could erode the internal surface of the freezer.
Do not place the food having these substances (e.g. sea sh) directly on the internal
surface. Salt water in the freezer should be cleaned up immediately.
▶Do not exceed the food storage times recommended by the manufacturers. Only
take the required amount of food out of the freezer.
▶Dierent kinds of food should be placed in dierent areas according to their proper-
ties (Fig. 5.14.2):
Notice: Storage
▶Please keep a distance of more than 10 mm between the food and the sensor to
ensure the cooling eect.
▶Please leave the lowest drawer in the appliance when it is working in order to ensure
the cooling eect.
▶Food items that include ice (like ice cream etc.) should be stored inside the freezer
compartment instead of in the bottle holders. The temperature changes the bottle
holders are exposed to, caused by opening and closing the door, may thaw the food.
