Warranty Information
Refer to the customer service booklet for warranty information.
Switching the appliance on: Press the main On/Off switch. The temperature display will flash until the set temperature is reached. The appliance begins to cool, and the light switches on when the door is open. Recommended setting for the refrigerator compartment is +4 °C.
Setting the temperature: Use the "Temperature selection button" to set the desired temperature for the refrigerator compartment (+2 °C to +8 °C). The freezer compartment temperature depends on the refrigerator compartment temperature.
Super cooling/freezing: Press the "super" button to activate Super cooling (refrigerator) or Super freezing (freezer). This function automatically switches off after approximately 2.5 days.
Defrosting: The refrigerator compartment defrosts automatically. The freezer compartment needs manual defrosting to prevent excessive frost buildup.
Cleaning: Switch off the appliance, disconnect from power, remove food, and clean with a soft cloth, lukewarm water, and pH-neutral washing-up liquid. Rinse the door seal with clear water only.
