USE

STORAGE GUIDE
For the best storage, set up your refrigerating appliance as follows:

• Food with natural preservatives such as jams, juices, drinks, spices, etc.
• Do not store food with a limited shelf life here

Crisper drawer|

• Fruits, herbs, and vegetables
• Do not refrigerate bananas, onions, potatoes, or garlic

Middle shelf|

• Dairy and eggs

Top shelf|

• Food that does not need to be cooked, such as readymade meals, leftovers, spreads, etc.

MOVING THE DEVICE

• If the unit is turned off for any reason, wait 10 minutes before turning it on again. The pressure in the cooling system should be stabilized before you turn the unit on again.
• Turn off the appliance and unplug it. Remove all food products. Also remove or secure all mobile parts (shelves, accessories, etc.) inside the refrigerator to avoid shocks.
• Move the appliance and install. If the appliance was held on its side while moving, even if very briefly, leave the appliance in the upright position for at least 10 minutes before turning it on.
• The refrigerator uses isobutane (R600a) as the refrigerant. Notwithstanding that R600a is an environmentally friendly and natural gas, it is explosive. So be very careful while moving or installing the appliance to avoid damage to the cooling elements. In case of a leak caused by damage to the cooling elements, move the refrigerator away from open flames or heat sources and ventilate the room in which the unit is located for a few minutes.

STORING FOOD IN THE REFRIGERATOR
The refrigerator provides extended storage time for fresh, perishable foods. Store fresh food for best results:

• Store only very fresh food of good quality.

• Make sure foods are properly wrapped or covered before storing.
  This avoids foods drying out, becoming paler or losing flavor and ensures longer freshness. This also avoids the transmission of odors.

• Make sure foods with strong odors are properly wrapped and covered and store them away from butter, milk and cream and other foods that can be affected by strong odors.

• Allow hot foods to cool before placing them in the refrigerator.

FROZEN

• The freezing process takes 24 hours. Do not add any other food to be frozen during this period.
• When the freezer has not been used for a period of time and is restarted after this, the appliance must be on for at least 2 hours before you can put products to be frozen in the freezer.
• Important: If the freezer defrosts accidentally – for example, in case of a power outage – the frozen food must be consumed quickly or prepared immediately.
• Excess ice in the freezer should be removed. Do not use sharp objects to remove the ice. Use a plastic scraper.

If the ice is too thick to scrape away, defrost the freezer as follows

1. Unplug the freezer.
2. Remove all food from the freezer.
3. Leave the freezer door open and place a catch basin under the appliance to catch the thawing water.
4. When the defrosting is complete, dry the appliance completely.
5. Plug the power cord back in to allow the appliance to operate again.

HOLIDAY

When going on vacation for a longer period of time, it is best to do the following

• Remove all food from the refrigerator.
• Remove the plug from the electrical outlet.
• Clean the refrigerator thoroughly.
• Leave the refrigerator door open to avoid mold and bad odors.

POWER FAILURE
Most power outages are recovered in 1 or 2 hours and will not change the temperature of the refrigerator. You should, however, keep opening the refrigerator door to a minimum during a power failure. During a longer power outage, you should take measures to protect the food, e.g. by putting dry ice on the food.
