HOW TO STORE FRESH FOOD AND BEVERAGES
REFRIGERATION COMPARTMENT
Fan*
The Fan improves temperature distribution inside the refrigerator
compartment, allowing better preservation of stored food. By default,
the fan is switched off. To turn on the fan press the button of fan. Please
note that when the fan is switched on it will not continuously work.
The fan will start/stop working depending on the temperature and/or
humidity level inside the fridge.
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
The freezer compartment allows for the storage of frozen food and the
freezing of fresh food. The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen
in a specific time period is indicated on the rating plate. Arrange the
fresh food in the freezing area inside the freezer compartment, leaving
enough space around it to allow air to circulate freely. Avoid allowing
fresh food to come into direct contact with frozen food. Load limits
are determined by baskets, flaps, drawers, shelves etc.. Make sure that
these components can still close easily after loading. The freezing
zone's drawer/compartment is shown in the picture above. To optimize
freezing speed and get more storage space, the freezer compartment
can be used without the freezer drawers and the food can be placed
directly on the bottom of the compartment. To avoid food waste,
please refer to the recommended setting and storage found in the
online user manual.

It is therefore absolutely normal if the fan does not move even if the fan
is switched on.

Ice cubes
Fill 2/3 of the ice tray with water and place it back in the freezer
compartment. Do not use sharp or pointed objects to remove the ice.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
The freezer should be defrosted once or twice a year or when excessive
frost is present (3 mm thickness). The formation of frost is normal.
The amount and rate at which frost accumulates depends on room
conditions and how often the door is open. To defrost the unit, switch
off the product and take out all food. Leave the freezer door open to
allow the frost to melt.
To prevent the water from escaping during the defrost, it is advised
that you place an absorbent cloth on the bottom of the freezer
compartment and wring it out regularly.
Clean the inside of the freezer. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Switch the
appliance back on and store the food inside.
