Defrosting
Why defrosting
Water contained in food or getting air inside the fridge b
y
opening doors may form a layer
o
f
frost inside.It will weaken the refrigeration when the frost is thick.
If
it is more than 10mm thick,
you should defrost.
Defrosting in fresh food storage compartment
It is automatically controlled by switching the temperature regulator on or off so that there is no
need of operation of defrosting. Water from defrosting will be drained into a drip tray through a
drain pipe at the back of the fridge automatically.
Warning!
Switching off the appliance.
To switch off the appliance, turn the temperature regulator to position ”0”.
Important!
The fridge should be defrosted at least every one month.During the using process, if the door was
opened frequently or using the appliance in the extreme humidity, we advise the user to defrost
every two weeks.
Cleaning and Care
For hygienic reasons the appliance interior,including interior accessories,should be cleaned regularly.
Warning!
The appliance m
ust
not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Danger of electrical shock!
Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn
out the circuit breaker or fuse.
Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in electrical compon-
ents,danger of electrical shock! Hot vapors can lead to the damage of plastic parts.The appliance
must be dry before it is placed back into service.
Important!
Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts,e.g.lemon juice or the juice from orange
peel, butyric acid, cleanser that contain acetic acid.

the aid of the green peg in the pack of accessories included with the appliance. After everything
is dry place appliance back into service.
Energy Saving tips
1. Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool first. Do not install the
appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources of warmth. High ambient temperatures cause
longer, more frequent operation of the compressor.
2. In order to make the cooling system work efficiently, please make sure the side plates and back
plate of the product are with some distance from the wall. It is strongly recommended that its back
is 75mm away from the wall, its sides at least have a space of 100mm separately and the
height from over its top is not less than 100mm.
3. When the product works, please do not open the door too often or leave the door open any
longer than necessary.
4. Do not set temperature any colder than necessary.
5. The direct cooling refrigerator (with a freezer) needs to be defrosted when necessary. This will
improve the cold transfer and reduce energy consumption.
6. The sketch map shows the right combination of the drawers, crisper and shelves which can
lead to the more energy efficiency. If users adjust the combination, it would result in the energy-
consuming.
7. Store food logically. Do not exceed the storage period specified.
