Hints and Tips
• The refrigerator is a domestic appliance suited to short-term conservation of food products like
fruit, vegetables, drinks, etc.
• Do not use it as a specialised appliance for storing products that require storage in line with strict
temperature rules, like medicines, etc.
• Cooked foods must be cooled to ambient temperature before they are placed in the refrigerator.
• We recommend placing food in sealed containers before storing them in the fridge.
• Never place food right next to the air outlet as this could impede the airflow and freeze the food.
• Never place volatile, inflammable or explosive liquids like solvents, alcohol, acetone or petrol in
the fridge. There is an explosion hazard.
• Never leave the door open longer than necessary.
• If the appliance is switched off or unplugged, wait at least 5 minutes before plugging the
appliance in or restarting it in order to prevent damage to the compressor.
• The cooling unit of your refrigerator is located at the back of the appliance. Therefore, water
droplets or ice may form on the rear surface of your fridge due to the operation of the compressor
at specified intervals. This is normal, there is no need to perform a defrosting operation unless
there is an excessive amount of ice.
• If you do not intend to use your fridge for a long period of time (such as during the holidays), set
the thermostat to "•" position, defrost and clean your fridge, leaving the door open to prevent the
formation of mildew and odour.
