(Warmest setting)
5 = Highest cooling setting
(Coldest setting)
(Or)
Min. = Lowest cooling setting
(Warmest setting)
Max. = Highest cooling setting

at cold ambient conditions such as
10 °C.
Please choose the setting according
to the desired temperature.
You can stop operation of your
appliance by turning the thermostat
knob to “0” position.
Please note that there will be different
temperatures in the cooling area.
The coldest region is immediately
above the vegetable compartment on
crisper cover.
Warm Cold
1 2 3 4 5
(Or) Min. Max.
The interior temperature also depends
on ambient temperature, the frequency
with which the door is opened and the
amount of food kept inside.
Frequently opening the door causes
the interior temperature to rise.
For this reason, it is recommended
to close the door again as soon as
possible after use.
Freezing food
The freezing compartment is marked
with this symbol.
You can use the appliance for freezing
fresh food as well as for storing pre-
frozen food.
Please refer to the recommendations
given on the packaging of your food.

Do not freeze fizzy drinks, as the bottle
may burst when the liquid in it is frozen.
Be careful with frozen products such
as coloured ice-cubes.
In order to maintain the quality of the
food, the freezing must be effected as
rapidly as possible.

Keep the already deep-frozen food
always separated with freshly placed
food.
When deep-freezing hot food, the
cooling compressor will work until the
food is completely frozen. This can
temporarily cause excessive cooling of
the refrigeration compartment.

EN
19
If you find the freezer door difficult
to open just after you have closed it,
don’t worry. This is due to the pressure
difference which will equalize and allow
the door to open normally after a few
minutes.
You will hear a vacuum sound just after
closing the door. This is quite normal.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice-cube tray 3/4 full with water
and place it in the freezer.
As soon as the water has turned into
ice, you can take out the ice cubes.
Never use sharp objects such as
knives or forks to remove the ice cubes.
There is a risk of injury!
Let the ice cubes slightly thaw instead,
or put the bottom of the tray in hot
water for a short moment.
Defrosting of the appliance
Excessive build-up of ice will affect the
freezing performance of your device.
It is therefore recommended that you
defrost your appliance at least twice
a year, or whenever the ice build-up
exceeds 7 mm.
Defrost your device when there is only
little or no food in it.
Take out the deep-frozen food. Wrap
the deep-frozen food in several layers
of paper, or a blanket, and keep it in a
cold place.
Unplug the appliance or switch off the
circuit breaker to start the defrosting
process.
Take out the accessories (like shelf,
drawer etc.) from the appliance and
use a suitable container to collect the
thawing water.
Use a sponge or a soft cloth to
remove thawing water if necessary at
the freezing compartment and
frozen food compartment
Keep the door open during defrosting.
For quicker defrosting, place
containers with warm water inside the
appliance.
Never use electrical devices,
defrosting sprays or pointed or sharp-
edged objects such as knives or forks
to remove the ice.
After the defrosting is done, clean
interior walls of the compartment.
Reconnect the appliance to the mains.
Place the frozen food into the drawers
and slide the drawers into the freezer.

EN

Cooling
Food storage
The fridge compartment is for the
short-term storage of fresh food and
drinks.
Store milk products in the intended
compartment in the cooler/freezer.
Bottles can be stored in the bottle
holder or in the bottle shelf of the door.
Raw meat is best kept in a polyethylene
bag in the compartment at the very
bottom of the cooler/freezer.
Allow hot food and beverages to cool
to room temperature prior to placing
them in the cooler/freezer.

Store concentrated alcohol in a
container only standing upright and
tightly closed.

Do not store explosive substances or
containers with flammable propellant
gases (canned cream, spray cans etc.)
in the appliance.
There is a danger of explosion.
Defrosting of the appliance
The fridge compartment defrosts
automatically. The thawing water
flows through the drain channel into a
collection container at the back of the
appliance.
During defrosting, water droplets form
at the back wall of the fridge due to the
evaporation.
If not all of the drops run down,
they may freeze again after defrosting
completes. Remove them with a soft
cloth dampened with warm water. Do
not use hard or sharp objects.
Check the flow of the thawed water
from time to time. It may become
blocked occasionally. Clean it with a
pipe-cleaner or similar implement as
shown below.
