15 Hints for Freezing • When first starting-up or after a period without use, let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the coldest setting before putting food in. • For faster freezing and thawing, we recommend storing food in small portions. • Wrap food in aluminum foil or airtight food containers. • Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch the food which is already frozen to avoid temperature rise of frozen product. • Frozen products, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, will probably cause frost burns to the skin and mouth. • We recommend labeling and dating each frozen package in order to keep track of the storage time. Cleaning and Care For hygienic reasons, the appliance (including exterior and interior accessories) should be cleaned regularly at least every two months. Caution! The appliance must not be connected to the power source during cleaning to avoid the risk of electric shock. Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the socket. Exterior Cleaning Wipe the digital display and control panel with a clean, soft cloth. • Spray water onto the cleaning cloth instead of spraying directly on the surface of the appliance. This helps ensure an even distribution of moisture to the surface. • Clean the doors, handles and cabinet surfaces with a mild detergent and then wipe dry with a soft cloth. Hints for the Storage of Frozen Food • Ensure that frozen food has been stored in accordance with the manufacturer's instruction. • Once defrosted, food quality rapidly decreases and should not be re-frozen. Do not exceed the storage period of time indicated by the food manufacturer. Switching off your Appliance • If the appliance needs to be switched off for an extended period of time, the following steps should be taken to prevent mold from growing in the appliance. 1. Remove all food. 2. Unplug the power plug from the main socket. 3. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. 4. Ensure that all the doors are wedged open slightly to allow air to circulate. Caution! • Don't use rough cleaning pads such as steel wool or brushes as they are likely to scratch the surface. • Don't use chemical thinner, car detergent, Clorox, ethereal oil, abrasive cleaners or organic solvent such as Benzene for cleaning. They may damage the surface of the appliance. Interior Cleaning You should clean the appliance interior regularly. It will be easier to clean when there are no shelves or food in the unit. Use a sponge or a dish cloth soaked in water with baking soda to clean the inside of the refrigerator and to prevent odors from developing. Wipe the interior completely dry before replacing the shelves and other accessories.

Cleaning and Care
Hints for Freezing
•
When first starting-up or after a period
without use, let the appliance run at least
2 hours on the coldest setting before
putting food in.
•
For faster freezing and thawing, we
recommend
storing
food
in
small
portions.
•
Wrap food in aluminum foil or airtight
food containers.
•
Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to
touch the food which is already frozen to
avoid temperature rise of frozen product.
•
Frozen products, if consumed imme-
diately after removal from the freezer
compartment, will probably cause frost
burns to the skin and mouth.
•
We recommend labeling and dating each
frozen package in order to keep track of
the storage time.
For
hygienic
reasons,
the
appliance
(including exterior and interior accessories)
should be cleaned regularly at least every
two months.
Caution!
The appliance must not be
connected to the power source during
cleaning to avoid the risk of electric shock.
Before cleaning switch the appliance off and
remove the plug from the socket.
Exterior Cleaning
Wipe the digital display and control panel
with a clean, soft cloth.
•
Spray water onto the cleaning cloth
instead of spraying directly on the
surface of the appliance. This helps
ensure an even distribution of moisture
to the surface.
•
Clean the doors, handles and cabinet
surfaces with a mild detergent and then
wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Hints for the Storage of Frozen Food

Once defrosted, food quality rapidly
decreases and should not be re-frozen.

If the appliance needs to be switched
off for an extended period of time,
the following steps should be taken
to prevent mold from growing in the
appliance.
1. Remove all food.
2. Unplug the power plug from the main

developing. Wipe the interior completely
dry before replacing the shelves and other
