the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the

refrigerating circuit are damaged.

• If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources

of ignition and air the room in which the appliance is standing for

several minutes. In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas

air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit occurs, the size of the

room in which the appliance is used should correspond to the amount

of refrigerant used. The room must be 1 m² in size for every 8 g of

R600a refrigerant inside the appliance.

Notes for Operation

• Users should keep in mind that frost can form. If

the door is not closed completely, if the humidity

is high during the summer, or if the freezer door

is opened frequently.

• Ensure there is sufficient space between food

stored on the shelf or door basket to allow the

door to close completely.

• Opening the door lets warm air enter the

appliance, and may cause the internal

temperature to rise.

• If you are leaving the appliance turned off for an

extended period of time, remove all food and

unplug the power cord. Clean the interior, and

leave the doors slightly ajar to prevent mold

from growing in the appliance.

Suggestion for Energy Saving

• Ensure there is sufficient space between stored

foods. This allows cold air to be circulated

evenly and lowers electricity bills.

• Store hot food only after it has cooled in order to

prevent dew or frost.

• When storing food in the freezer compartment,

set the freezer temperature lower than the

temperature indicated on the food.

• Do not put food near the temperature sensor of

the fridge compartment. Keep a distance of at

least 3 cm from the sensor.

• Note that a temperature rise after defrosting

has a permissible range in the appliance

specifications. If you wish to minimise the

impact this may have on the food storage due to

a temperature rise, seal or wrap the stored food

in several layers.

• The automatic defrosting system in the

appliance ensures that the compartment

remains free of ice buildup under normal

operating conditions.

20

EN

Storing Foods Effectively

• Store frozen food or refrigerated food inside

sealed containers.

• Check the expiration date and label (storage

instructions) before storing food in the

appliance.

• Do not store food for a long period of time

(more than four weeks) if it spoils easily at a low

temperature.

• Place the refrigerated food or frozen food in

each fridge or freezer compartment immediately

after purchasing.

• Avoid refreezing any food which has been

completely thawed. Freezing any food which

has been completely thawed again will lower its

taste and nutrition.

• Do not wrap and store vegetables with

newspaper. Printing material of newspaper

or other foreign substances may smear and

contaminate food.

• Do not overfill the appliance. Cold air can not

circulate properly if the appliance is overfilled.

• If you set an excessively low temperature

for food, it may become frozen. Do not

set a temperature lower than the required

temperature for the food to be stored correctly.

• If there are chill compartments in the appliance,

do not store vegetables and fruits with higher

moisture content in the chill compartments as

they may freeze due to the lower temperature.

Max Freezing Capacity

• The Express Freeze function will set the freezer

to its maximum freezing capacity.

• This generally takes up to 24 hours and

automatically switches off.

• If the maximum freezing capacity is to be used,

Express Freeze must be switched on for seven

hours before fresh produce is placed in the

freezer compartment.

Maximum Storage

• To get better air circulation, insert all drawers.

• If large quantities of food are to be stored, all

the freezer drawers shall be taken out of the

appliance except the bottom one and the food

shall be stacked directly on the freezer shelves

in the freezer compartment.

NOTE

• To remove the drawers, first pick the food out of

drawers. Then use the handle of drawers, pull

out the drawers carefully. It may cause injury.

• The shape of each drawer may be different,

insert in the right position.
