REFRIGERATION COMPARTMENT

**Fan***

• The Fan improves temperature distribution inside the refrigerator compartment, allowing better preservation of stored food. By default, the fan is switched off. To turn on the fan press the button of fan. Please note that when the fan is switched on it will not continuously work.
• The fan will start/stop working depending on the temperature and/or humidity level inside the fridge.
• It is therefore absolutely normal if the fan does not move even if the fan is switched on.
• Appliances equipped with a fan can also be fitted with an antibacterial filter. To purchase this filter, visit our website or contact Customer Service.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

The freezer compartment allows for the storage of frozen food and the freezing of fresh food. The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in a specific time period is indicated on the rating plate. Arrange the fresh food in the freezing area inside the freezer compartment, leaving enough space around it to allow air to circulate freely. Avoid allowing fresh food to come into direct contact with frozen food. Load limits are determined by baskets, flaps, drawers, shelves, etc.. Make sure that these components can still close easily after loading. The freezing zone’s drawer/compartment is shown in the picture above. To optimize freezing speed and get more storage space, the freezer compartment can be used without the freezer drawers and the food can be placed directly on the bottom of the compartment. To avoid food waste, please refer to the recommended setting and storage found in the online user manual.

Ice cubes

Fill 2/3 of the ice tray with water and place it back in the freezer compartment. Do not use sharp or pointed objects to remove the ice.

Defrosting the freezer compartment

• The freezer should be defrosted once or twice a year or when excessive frost is present (3 mm thickness). The formation of frost is normal.
• The amount and rate at which frost accumulates depends on room conditions and how often the door is open. To defrost the unit, switch off the product and take out all food. Leave the freezer door open to allow the frost to melt.
• To prevent the water from escaping during the defrost, it is advised that you place an absorbent cloth on the bottom of the freezer compartment and wring it out regularly.
• Clean the inside of the freezer. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Switch the appliance back on and store the food inside.

ACCESSORIES*

**STOP FROST ACCESSORY***

The STOP FROST accessory is designed to collect some of the frost which forms in the freezer compartment and it is easy to remove and clean, therefore reducing the time needed to defrost the inside of the freezer compartment.

Procedure how to clean stop frost accessory you can find in User Manual on the website.

GENERAL INFORMATION

• The drawers, baskets, and shelves should be kept in their current position unless otherwise specified in this quick guide.
• The light system inside the refrigerator compartment uses LED lights, which provide better lighting and use less energy than traditional bulbs.
• Doors and lids of the refrigerator should be removed before disposal, to avoid children or animals getting trapped inside.
