Frequently Asked Questions (10)
What are the recommended temperature settings for the refrigerator and freezer compartments?
The recommended temperature for the refrigerator compartment is 37°F (3°C). The recommended temperature for the freezer compartment is 0°F (−18°C). For long-term food storage in the freezer, the temperature should be at 0°F (−18°C) or lower.
What does it mean when 'E' or 'd' appears on the temperature display?
When 'E' or 'd' appears on the temperature display, the electronics have detected a fault. To resolve this, switch off the appliance, unplug it or switch off the circuit breaker, reconnect after 5 minutes, and switch it back on. If the message still appears, call Customer Service.
How often should I change the water filter, and how do I reset the filter change notification?
The water filter should be changed every 6 months, or when the filter indicator lights up, or if water output has visibly reduced. After replacing the filter, press and hold the filter button for 3 seconds to turn off the notification and reset the filter change status.
How do I activate Super Freezing and how long does it stay on?
Press the Super Freezing button on the control panel to switch it on — the indicator light will illuminate. It is recommended to switch on Super Freezing 1 to 2 hours before placing food weighing 4.4 lbs (2 kg) or more into the freezer compartment. After approximately 8 hours, the appliance automatically switches back to normal operation.
What should I do if the appliance is not cooling but the displays and lighting are on?
This is likely caused by Showroom mode being switched on. Press and hold the power button for 15 seconds until three audible signals sound, then press the alarm button. After a short time, check whether the appliance is cooling.

The brightness of the control panel lighting is also reduced. After approximately 80 hours, the appliance automatically switches back to normal mode.
How do I clean the appliance, and what cleaning products should I avoid?
Clean the outside, inside, fittings, accessories, and door seals with a dish cloth, lukewarm water, and a little pH-neutral liquid detergent, then dry thoroughly with a soft dry cloth. Do not use steam cleaners, high-pressure cleaners, hard scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents, high-alcohol cleaning agents, or stainless-steel cleaning agents on the outside. Fittings and accessories should never be cleaned in the dishwasher as this may cause deformation or discoloration.
What should I do with food after a power failure?
During a power failure, open the appliance as little as possible and do not place any additional food inside. Immediately after power is restored, check the quality of all food — dispose of any frozen food that has defrosted and is warmer than 41°F (5°C), and cook or fry slightly thawed frozen food before consuming or refreezing it.
What water pressure is required for the water dispenser and ice maker to work properly?
The water pressure in the supply system must be at least 29 psi (200 kPa) and no more than 116 psi (800 kPa) for the appliance to function correctly. If water pressure exceeds the maximum value, a pressure-reducing valve must be installed between the drinking water connection and the appliance's hose set. After installing a new water filter, dispense water for 5 minutes and discard it for hygiene reasons.
