WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS NOT USED
Unplug the appliance from the mains, empty, defrost and clean it. Leave the doors open just enough to
allow air to circulate inside both compartments. This will prevent odour and mould from setting in.
DURING BLACKOUTS
Keep the doors closed to allow the stored food to stay cold as long as possible. Do not refreeze partially
thawed food. If the blackout persists, the blackout alarm may sound.
FOOD STORAGE
It is important to wrap food so that water, moisture, vapour or condensation can't get in, preventing
odours or aromas from building up inside the appliance and allowing better storage of frozen food. Never
place hot foods in the freezer compartment which will save energy and prolong the life of the appliance.
Note: The ambient temperature, frequency of door opening and position of the appliance can affect the
temperature inside the two compartments. Set the temperature based on these factors.
REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
The refrigerator compartment is designed for the storage of fresh food and beverages.
Refrigerator compartment defrosting is completely automatic.
Droplets of water on the rear wall of the compartment indicate that the periodic automatic defrost cycle
is in progress. The defrost water is automatically routed to a drain outlet and into a container from which
it evaporates.
Depending on the model, the appliance may have a meat and fish box which is ideal for the storage of
fresh meat and fish.
Important: Refrigerator accessories must not be washed in a dishwasher.
Note: when there is a lot of moisture in the air inside the refrigerator compartment and on the glass
shelves in particular, there is a risk of condensation forming. In this case, we recommend you seal
containers with liquid inside (pots of soup), wrap up any foodstuffs containing moisture (vegetables) and
set the fridge temperature to a slightly higher temperature.
Fan and anti-bacterial and anti-odour filter (depending on model)
The fan will ensure the uniform circulation of air inside the compartment which stores food better and
reduces excess moisture. Do not obstruct the fan inlet. The fan activates automatically as and when
necessary.
