Do not use MIN set above 12°C ambient.

8.2 Defrosting
A) Cooler Compartment
Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment
is done automatically. During defrosting,
water drops may form at the rear of the re-
frigerator compartment where the hidden
evaporator is located. Some drops may re-
main on the liner and refreeze when de-
frosting is complete. Do not allow objects
in the refrigerator to come into contact with
the back wall as the water drops will cause
them to get wet. Do not use pointed or
sharp objects such as knives, forks, etc. to
remove frozen drops.
When defrost water does not drain from the
collection channel, check to make sure that
food particles do not block the drain pipe.
The drain pipe can be cleaned by pushing
the special plastic plunger provided down
the drain pipe. If the ice layer reaches 1/4"
(7 mm) thick, lower the setting to restart
automatic defrosting.
8.3 Storing Food in the Cooler Compartment
Storing Food in the Cooler Compart-
ment
• Compartment temperatures rise promin-
ently if compartment door is opened and
closed frequently and kept open for a
long time, this can reduce the life span of
the food and cause the food to spoil.
• In order not to cause odour and taste
changes, the food should be stored in the
closed containers.
B) Freezer compartment
Defrosting is very simple and hassle-free
thanks to a special defrost collection con-
tainer.
Defrost twice a year or when a layer of ice
around 7 (1/4") mm has formed. To start
the defrosting procedure, disconnect the
appliance from the power outlet and pull
out the mains plug.
All food should be wrapped in several lay-
ers of newspaper and stored in a cold place
(e.g. refrigerator or pantry).
To speed up the defrosting process, con-
tainers of hot water can be carefully placed
inside the freezer.
Do not use pointed or sharp objects such
as knives or forks to remove ice.
Never use a hair dryer, electric heater or
similar electrical appliances for defrosting.
Sponge off any defrost water that has ac-
cumulated under the freezer compartment.
After defrosting, dry the interior completely.
• Do not store too much food in your refri-
gerator. To achieve a better and homo-
geneous cooling, place the food separ-
ately in a way that cold air can wander
through them.
• Provide air flow by leaving a space
between the food and internal wall. If you
lean the food against the rear wall, the
food may freeze.
