Changing led
To replace LED lighting, contact the After-Sales
Service for assistance.
LED lights last longer than normal bulbs, they
illuminate better and are more environmentally
friendly.
Note: After switching the appliance on, it will be
necessary to wait for 2 to 3 hours before a
temperature suitable for a standard appliance load
is reached.
Refrigerator compartment
Refrigerator compartment defrosting is completely
automatic. Droplets of water on the rear wall inside
the refrigerator compartment indicate that the
automatic defrost phase is in progress. The defrost
water is automatically run into a drain hole and
collected in a container, where it evaporates.
Freezer compartment
This appliance is a refrigerator with a < star
A C B
rating freezer compartment. Packed frozen foods
can be stored for the period indicated on the
packing. Fresh food can also be frozen, ensuring
that any contact with already frozen food is
avoided. The quantity of fresh food that can be
frozen in a 24 hour period is given on the rating
plate. Re-freezing of partially defrosted food is not
fig. 1
recommended. This food should be consumed
within 24 hours. For further information on freezing
fresh food, refer to the quick guide.
Freezing fresh food
Place the fresh food to be frozen inside the freezer
compartment. Avoid direct contact with already
frozen food. To freeze the quantity of food shown
on the serial tag, remove the top drawer and place
the food directly on the rack.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice cube tray up to 2/3 with water and
place in the freezer compartment. Do not use sharp
or pointed objects to detach the tray.
Caution! The refrigerator accessories must not
be placed in a dishwasher.
