The numbers 2, 4, 6 and 8 indicate the degrees Celsius (°C) in the appliance refrigerator compartment. • The recommended temperature setting is +4 °C. At this temperature, food quality and freshness are preserved longer. • The temperature in the refrigerator compartment also aff ects the temperature in the freezer compartment.
Page 18
HIGH TEMPERATURE ALARM If the temperature inside the appliance is too high, acoustic alarm will be activated (intermittent tone) and the D symbol will flash. • Every time the appliance is switched on with the A key, there is a 24- hour delay in high temperature alarm operation.
APPLIANCE INTERIOR EQUIPMENT (* EQUIPMENT DEPENDS ON THE MODEL) SHELF • Empty shelves can be distributed as you see fi t across the guides in the refrigerator interior without having to remove the shelf from the refrigerator.

STORING FOOD IN THE FreshZone DRAWER (Only in some models) In the FreshZone compartment, food stays fresh longer than in a conventional refrigerator, retaining more flavour and nutrients. Decay and loss of mass are slowed down; therefore, fruit and vegetables remain fresh and natural longer.
FREEZING AND STORING FROZEN FOOD FREEZING PROCEDURE Maximum amount of fresh food that may be inserted at once is specified on the appliance rating plate. If the amount of food to be frozen exceeds the indicated amount, the quality of freezing will be inferior; in addition, the quality of the food already frozen will deteriorate.
IMPORTANT WARNINGS ON FREEZING Only use the freezer to freeze food appropriate for freezing. Always use quality and fresh food. Select the most suitable packaging for the food and use the packaging correctly. Make sure the packaging is air and water tight so that the food does not dry out and loose its vitamins.
FROZEN FOOD STORAGE TIME RECOMMENDED STORAGE TIME IN THE FREEZER Type of food Time fruit, beef from 10 to 12 months vegetables, veal, poultry from 8 to 10 months Venison from 6 to 8 months Pork from 4 to 6 months finely chopped or ground meat 4 months bread, pastry, cooked meals, lean fish...
DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE AUTOMATIC REFRIGERATOR DEFROSTING Refrigerator does not need defrosting because the ice on the back interior wall is thawed automatically. Any accumulated ice will melt when the compressor unit is inactive. Drops will flow through an opening in the refrigerator rear wall into a tray fitted above the compressor, from where they will evaporate.
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE Before cleaning, unplug the appliance from the power mains – switch off the appliance (see chapter Switching the Appliance On/Off) and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. • Use a soft cloth to clean all surfaces. Cleaners that contain abrasive substances, acids, or solvents are not suitable for cleaning as they may damage the surface.
