Hints for temperature inside the fridge
A suitable temperature in-
side the fridge is approx.
+5° C. If the temperature
regulator is set to a too cold
temperature, food with a
high water content may
start to freeze if it has been
placed in the coldest pla-
ces in the fridge. The pic-
ture shows the coldest and warmest places inside the
fridge.
If you want to check the
temperature of food stored
in the refrigerator, place a
glass of water centrally in
the cabinet, and put a prop-
er thermometer with an ac-
curacy of +/– 1 °C into it.
After 6 hours the tempera-
ture can be monitored. The
measuring shall be performed under steady-stated
conditions (without changing the load).

the interior as this will damage the surface and leave a
strong odour.

chemicals that can attack/damage the plastics used in
this appliance. For this reason use a soft cloth rinsed
in warm water and neutral soap emulsion for cleaning
external surfaces.
Important! Do not use detergents or abrasive paste

Cleaning the ventilation grille
The ventilation grille can be
removed to wash the grille.

Defrosting the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator
of the refrigerator compartment every time the motor
compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost wa-
ter drains out through a drain hole into a special con-
tainer at the back of the appliance, over the motor
compressor, where it evaporates.
