Warranty Information

Switching On/Off: Clean appliance before first use. Allow to stand for 1.5-2 hours before connecting. Use the master switch to turn both sections on/off. The refrigerator section can be switched off independently using its 'On/Off' button. The safety lock prevents inadvertent switching off.
Temperature Setting: Set refrigerator to 4°C and freezer to -18°C. Use temperature selector buttons to adjust settings, with the display flashing during adjustment. Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize.
Special Functions: 'Super Cool' rapidly chills the refrigerator. 'Super Freeze' rapidly freezes food in the freezer. 'Dynamic Cooling' ensures even temperature distribution.
Storage: Utilize different temperature zones (coldest area for perishables, warmest for butter/cheese). Avoid storing certain fruits/vegetables, unripe fruit, potatoes, and some hard cheeses.
Maintenance: Regular cleaning is essential. Defrost freezer when ice reaches 1cm thickness. Ensure ventilation gaps are clear.
Installation: Must be built-in. Ensure proper ventilation. Connect to cold water supply only (1.5-6 bar). Electrical connection by a qualified person. Follow specific building-in dimensions and door hinging instructions.
