Product description
The refrigerator features a control panel (1), interior lighting (2), adjustable shelves (3), a crisper drawer (4), freezer boxes (5), and door racks (6).
Installation and space requirements
Ensure the refrigerator door can open fully (140°). Maintain a minimum distance of 50 mm between the side walls of the appliance and any adjacent furniture or walls to ensure proper ventilation and door operation.
Control panel and operation
The control panel allows you to switch the appliance on/off, adjust cooling levels, and activate special functions. Upon plugging in, the unit automatically sets the temperature to level 2. Wait 2-3 hours before storing food. Use the Mode key to cycle through cooling levels (1-4) or activate Super Cool and Eco modes.
Special functions

- Super Cool: Accelerates cooling for large amounts of fresh food. Automatically turns off after 24 hours.
- Eco mode: Optimizes performance for the best combination of fridge and freezer temperatures.
Defrosting and maintenance
If frost in the freezer exceeds 3 mm, defrost the unit. Switch off, remove food, leave the door open, and collect water at the bottom. Dry thoroughly before restarting.
Troubleshooting
If the appliance does not cool, check if Demo mode is active. For noise issues, ensure the unit is level. If the interior light does not turn on, check the power connection and Holiday mode settings.
