Häufig gestellte Fragen - ARL 201 IGNIS

Wie stelle ich die Temperatur am Kühlschrank ein?

Drehen Sie den Thermostatknopf auf eine Position zwischen 1 und 7. Für den täglichen Gebrauch empfehlen wir eine mittlere Einstellung.

Wie taut man das Gefrierfach ab?

Stellen Sie den Thermostatknopf auf 0, ziehen Sie den Netzstecker, öffnen Sie die Gefrierfachtür und lassen Sie das Eis schmelzen. Entfernen Sie das Tauwasser, reinigen und trocknen Sie das Fach, und schalten Sie das Gerät wieder ein.

Kann ich die Türanschlagrichtung ändern?

Ja. Lösen Sie die unteren und oberen Scharniere, nehmen Sie die Tür ab, setzen Sie die Scharniere auf der anderen Seite ein und hängen Sie die Tür wieder ein. Überprüfen Sie anschließend die Türdichtung.

Wie wechsle ich die Innenbeleuchtung?

Drehen Sie den Thermostat auf 0, ziehen Sie den Netzstecker, entfernen Sie die Lampenabdeckung, tauschen Sie die Glühlampe (max. 15 W, E14) aus und setzen Sie die Abdeckung wieder auf.

Was tun, wenn der Kühlschrank nicht mehr kühlt?

Überprüfen Sie, ob der Thermostat auf eine Position zwischen 1 und 7 eingestellt ist und der Netzstecker steckt. Schalten Sie das Gerät für eine Stunde aus und wieder ein. Kontaktieren Sie den Kundendienst, wenn das Problem bestehen bleibt.

Welche Lebensmittel können im Gefrierfach gelagert werden?

Gefrorene Lebensmittel und frisches Fleisch können gelagert werden. Für das Einfrieren von Frischgut (max. 2 kg in 24 Stunden) stellen Sie den Thermostat auf 5–6 und nach 24 Stunden wieder zurück.

Wie reinige ich den Kühlschrank?

Ziehen Sie den Netzstecker, entnehmen Sie alle Lebensmittel und reinigen Sie die Innenflächen mit lauwarmem Wasser und einem milden Reinigungsmittel. Trocknen Sie alles gut ab und schalten Sie das Gerät wieder ein.

Warum bildet sich Eis an der Rückwand des Kühlteils?

Dies ist normal – die automatische Abtauung leitet Tauwasser ab. Stellen Sie sicher, dass der Ablauf (2) nicht verstopft ist. Reinigen Sie ihn bei Bedarf mit dem beiliegenden Reinigungsstift (4).

Darf ich heiße Speisen in den Kühlschrank stellen?

Nein. Lassen Sie Speisen erst auf Raumtemperatur abkühlen, bevor Sie sie in den Kühlschrank stellen. Andernfalls steigt der Energieverbrauch und die Kühlleistung kann beeinträchtigt werden.

Was bedeutet die Klimaklasse?

Die Klimaklasse gibt die Umgebungstemperatur an, bei der das Gerät einwandfrei funktioniert. Für den IGNIS ARL 201 sind die Klassen SN (10–32 °C), N (16–32 °C) und ST (18–38 °C) zulässig.

  •electrical appliances with electrical motor (e.g. blenders, hair driers to speed up defrosting);
• open flame;
  •elements that can give off sparks;
  •inflammable materials.
  • Particular care must be taken to ensure that the refrigerant pipelines at the rear of the appliance are not damaged.
• Before any cleaning or maintenance operation, unplug the appliance from the mains or disconnect the electrical power supply.

•The appliance must be installed in a well-ventilated place.
- Do not allow children to play with the packaging materials - risk of suffocating.
- In the event that the refrigerant pipelines are damaged and gas is released, the room where the appliance is installed must be aerated for a few minutes.
- Do not store gas or inflammable liquids inside the appliance - risk of explosion.

SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT

I. Packing

The packaging material is entirely recyclable, and marked with the recycling symbol. Follow local regulations for scrapping. Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene parts, etc.) out of reach of children, as they are potentially dangerous.

2. Appliance

The appliance is made using recyclable materials. Disposal must be carried out in accordance with local environmental regulations for waste disposal. Make the appliance unusable by cutting off the power cord. The appliance must be delivered to an authorised collection centre for the recovery of refrigerant gas.

INSTALLATION

Door reversibility

To change the direction of door opening proceed as follows:

•unscrew the bottom hinge;
- remove the door from the top hinge pin;
•unscrew the top hinge;
- screw the hinges on the other side of the appliance;
•fit the door on the top hinge pin and close it;
- screw the bottom hinge.

After changing the direction of door opening, check the door seal and adjust it if necessary. To adjust the door seal loosen the screws of the hinges and adjust them.

Electrical Connection

Electrical connections must be made in accordance with local regulations. Ensure that the voltage indicated on the appliance data plate corresponds to the domestic supply voltage. Regulations require that the appliance is earthed. The Manufacturer declines all liabilities for injury to persons or damage to property resulting from failure to observe these regulations. If the plug and socket are not of the same type, have the socket replaced by a qualified electrician. After installation, make sure that the refrigerator is not standing on the power supply cable.

Do not use extensions leads. The manufacturer declines all liability for damages resulting from a faulty electrical connection.

USING THE APPLIANCE

Switching on the refrigerator and adjusting the temperature. Switching off the appliance

Do not switch on the refrigerator until it is in operating position. Wait about 3 hours.

The appliance switches on when the thermostat knob is turned to a position between 1 and 7 (Fig. 3).

For daily use we recommend to set the thermostat to an intermediate position. There is no need to change the setting when the room temperature changes.

In the event of prolonged disuse, it will be necessary to:

•turn the thermostat knob to "0";
- unplug the appliance from the mains power supply;
•empty, clean and dry both compartments;
- leave the door open.

Energy saving

• Install the appliance away from heat sources;

• do not leave the door open for any longer than strictly necessary;

- the thickness of frost or ice on the walls of the freezer must not exceed 5 mm;

- do not place pots without lids or hot pots in the refrigerator.

When the room temperature is low, also electrical consumption is low.

Storing fresh food in the refrigerator

Fresh food compartment

The refrigerator compartment can be used to store fresh food.

• Food must be cooled at room temperature before placing it in the refrigerator. Wrap and seal food in polythene bags, aluminium foil, closed containers or pots to prevent it from absorbing and transferring odours and humidity.
• The recommended maximum storage time for frozen foods is indicated on the package. The longer one goes beyond the 'best before date', the greater chance of food deterioration.

The temperature in this compartment is -18°C or lower.

Freezer compartment marked \*\*\*\*

This compartment can be used for storing frozen food or freezing up to 2 kg of fresh food in 24 hours. To freeze fresh food it is advisable to set the thermostat to "5 - 6". After 24 hours set the thermostat back to its previous position.

Freezer compartment marked \*\*\*

This compartment can be used for storing frozen food.

Making ice cubes

The freezer compartment can be used for making ice cubes. To speed up the ice making process, set the thermostat to "7". After approximately two hours ice is made.

Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of the freezer compartment - risk of "cold" burns.

Defrosting the appliance

The frost that forms on the rear wall of the compartment is automatically eliminated each time the compressor stops. The droplets of water are routed to a drain outlet (2) and into a collection container located on the compressor from which they evaporate.

During operation impurities can form and obstruct the drain outlet, thus preventing the water from draining.

Any impurities must be removed from the water outlet using the specific device (4) (Fig. 4).

The freezer compartment requires manual defrosting. To defrost, proceed as follows:

•turn the thermostat knob to "0";
- disconnect the appliance from the power supply by unplugging it;
- open the freezer compartment door to allow the frost to melt;
- remove the defrost water, and clean and dry the compartment;
- switch on the appliance again.

Do not use sharp objects or metal instruments to remove ice.
