Pull the mains plug out of the socket. Remove the food and store it in a cold place. Remove the glass shelves, door shelves, and refrigerator drawers. Clean all parts in lukewarm soapy water, then dry thoroughly. Add a little vinegar to the water when wiping to prevent mould. Reassemble and put food back.

If defrosting is required, set the freezer to the lowest temperature for 3 hours. Remove the frozen food and wrap it in newspaper in a cool place. Unplug the appliance. Wash drawers with warm detergent and dry them. Place a bowl of hot but not boiling water in the freezer to accelerate defrosting. Leave drawers open and place a cloth to catch meltwater. When no ice is left, wipe the interior with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly before replacing food.

Always ensure the water tank is empty before removal. Remove the tank from the outlet valve holder. Remove the seal from the tank outlet. Loosen both brackets holding the water tank lid and take it off along with the closure cap. Remove the outlet valve using a slotted screwdriver or knife if needed. Wash all these parts with warm, soapy water and rinse well with clean water before reassembling.

Check if there is electricity in the socket by testing it with another appliance. Also, check that the mains plug is firmly inserted.

Check the following: Is the temperature set too high? (select a lower setting). Are the door seals tight? Is the appliance too close to a heat source? Was food stored warm? Is there too much frozen food? Is the ambient temperature too low or too high? If the compressor seems defective, activate the quick refrigerating mode.

Some noises are functional, such as humming (refrigeration unit running), flowing noises (refrigerant moving), or clicking (compressor turning on/off). If there are disturbing noises, check that the appliance is stable, remove any objects from it, or remove foreign matter from the back.

If the cooling appliance has been transported horizontally, lubricant from the compressor may get into the cooling circuit. If possible, only transport it in a vertical position and allow it to stand upright for 2 hours before starting it up to let the lubricant flow back.

Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator so that it is not in contact with or drips onto other food.

Do not store glass or metal containers containing liquids such as water, lemonade, beer, etc. because the water expands when frozen and can burst the container. Also, do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with flammable propellants.

Switch off, defrost, clean, and dry the appliance, then leave the door open to prevent mould from developing within the appliance.

Yes. To avoid excessive loss of cooling, a tone will sound when one or both doors of the fridge-freezer have been open for more than 2 minutes. Close the open door(s).

Unpack the appliance, removing all packaging materials. To remove odours present in new appliances, wipe down the interior with a solution made of 100 ml of vinegar and 200 ml of water, then wipe with clean water and dry all parts.

The deep-freeze chain must not be broken. The temperature must always be at least -18 °C. Do not buy goods that are in frosty or icy chests, are stacked above the load marker, are partially clumped, or have snow/juice traces. Transport in styrofoam boxes or insulated bags.

Let it defrost at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Always defrost meat, poultry, and fish in the refrigerator, ensuring they are not immersed in their own thawing liquid. Use the defrost function on a microwave if speed is needed, but note that bacteria can form more easily.

Freeze only high quality, fresh, room-temperature food. Freeze food unseasoned. Allow prepared food to cool before freezing. Do not freeze carbonated drinks.

Use flat portions as they freeze to the core faster. Label the food by type, quantity, freeze date, and expiry date.

Freeze small amounts. Once the temperature is -18 °C, you can freeze fresh food. If you need to freeze more than the maximum capacity, create a cold reserve in the freezer area by using the Super Freeze mode before putting in the fresh food.

Never use harsh, granular, soda, acid, solvent-based, or abrasive cleaners. These attack plastic surfaces. Use all-purpose cleaners with a neutral pH. Only use soft cloths.

Remove dust and clean the back of the appliance and the compressor once or twice a year using a soft brush.

Maintenance-free LEDs are used as lights. Do not attempt to replace the interior light or remove its cover.
