Frequently Asked Questions - GSBS15720X GRUNDIG

How do I adjust the temperature in my Grundig GSBS15720X fridge?
Press the Temp button on the control panel repeatedly to cycle through settings. The recommended refrigerator temperature is 4°C and freezer -18°C.
What does the alarm sound mean?
The alarm indicates a door left open or a temperature rise. Close the door or check if the fridge is level. Press Alarm Off to mute.
How often should I defrost the freezer?
Defrost when ice thickness exceeds 5 mm. Use the manual defrost setting: place towels, remove food, and let ice melt naturally. Do not use sharp tools.
Can I reverse the door opening direction?
Yes, the door is reversible. Follow the instructions in the manual: remove hinge covers, unscrew hinges, and reattach on the opposite side. It requires a screwdriver and patience.
Why is water pooling inside the fridge?
The defrost drain may be blocked. Clean the drain hole at the back of the fridge using a pipe cleaner or warm water. Ensure the fridge is level to allow drainage.
What should I do if the fridge is not cooling?
Check the power cord and circuit breaker. Ensure the thermostat is not set to 0. Clean the condenser coils at the back. If still not cooling, contact an authorized service.
How do I clean the interior?
Unplug the fridge, remove all shelves and drawers, and wash them with warm soapy water. Wipe interior walls with a mixture of water and mild detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly before plugging back.
Can I store hot food inside?
No, let hot food cool to room temperature before placing it in the fridge. Placing hot food raises internal temperature and increases energy consumption.
How do I activate the child lock?
Press and hold the Child Lock key (usually a key icon) for 3 seconds until a padlock symbol appears. Repeat to unlock.
Where can I find spare parts?
Spare parts are available through Grundig authorized service centers and the official website. Use the model number GSBS15720X to order.

4. Preparation

4.1 What to do for energy saving

GRUNDIG GSBS15720X - What to do for energy saving - 1

Connecting the product to electric energy saving systems is risky as it may cause damage on the product.

  • For a freestanding appliance; 'this refrigerating appliance is not intended to be used as a built-in appliance'.
  • Do not keep the refrigerator doors open for long periods.
  • Do not place hot food or beverages into the refrigerator.
  • Do not overfill the refrigerator; blocking the internal air flow will reduce cooling capacity.
  • The energy consumption value specified for the refrigerator was measured with the freezer compartment's upper shelf removed, other shelves and the lowest drawers in place and under maximum load. The top glass shelf can be used, depending on the shape and size of food to be frozen.
  • Since hot and humid air will not directly penetrate into your product when the doors are not opened, your product will optimize itself in conditions sufficient to protect your food. Functions and components such as compressor, fan, heater, defrost, lighting, display and so on will operate according to the needs to consume

minimum energy under these circumstances.

- Depending on the product's features; defrosting frozen foods in the cooler compartment will ensure energy saving and preserve food quality.

Line drawing of a hand inserting a small rectangular object into a cabinet, no text or symbols.

  • The baskets/drawers that are provided with the chill compartment must always be in use for low energy consumption and for better storage conditions.
  • Food contact with the temperature sensor in the freezer compartment may increase energy consumption of the appliance. Thus any contact with the sensor(s) must be avoided.
  • Make sure the foods are not in contact with the cooler compartment temperature sensor described below.

4.2 First Use

Before using your refrigerator, make sure the necessary preparations are made in line with the instructions in “Safety and environment instructions” and “Installation” sections.

- Keep the product running with no food inside for 6 and do not open the door, unless absolutely necessary.

GRUNDIG GSBS15720X - First Use - 1

A sound will be heard when the compressor is engaged. It is normal to hear sound even when the compressor is inactive, due to the compressed liquids and gasses in the cooling system.

GRUNDIG GSBS15720X - First Use - 2

It is normal for the front edges of the refrigerator to be warm. These areas are designed to warm up in order to prevent condensation.

GRUNDIG GSBS15720X - First Use - 3

5.2 Humidity controlled crisper

(FreSHelf)

(This feature is optional)

Humidity rates of the vegetables and fruit are kept under control with the feature of humidity-controlled crisper and the food is ensured to stay fresh for longer. We recommend you to place the leafy vegetables such as lettuce, spinach and the vegetables which are sensitive to humidity loss, in a horizontal manner as much as possible inside the crisper, not on their roots in a vertical position. While the vegetables are being placed, specific gravity of the vegetables should be taken into consideration. Heavy and hard vegetables should be put at the bottom of the crisper and the lightweight and soft vegetables should be placed over.

Never leave the vegetables inside the crisper in their bags. If the vegetables are left inside their bags, this will cause them to decompose in a short period of time. In case contacting with other vegetables is not preferred for hygiene concerns, use a perforated paper and other similar packaging materials instead of a bag.

Do not place together the pear, apricot, peach, etc. and apple in particular which have a high level of generation of ethylene gas in the same crisper with the other vegetables and fruit. The ethylene gas which is emitted by these fruit may cause the other fruit to ripen faster and decompose in a shorter time.

5.17 Freezing fresh food

  • To preserve food quality, the food items placed in the freezer compartment must be frozen as quickly as possible, use the rapid freezing for this.
  • To freeze a large amount of fresh food, press the rapid freeze button 12 hours before placing the food in the freezer compartment.
  • Freezing food items while they are fresh will extend their storage time in the freezer compartment.
  • Pack the food items in air-tight packs and seal tightly.
  • Make sure the food items are packed before putting them in the freezer. Use freezer holders, tinfoil, damp-proof paper, plastic bags, or similar packaging materials instead of traditional packaging paper.
  • Mark each food pack by writing the date on the package before freezing. This will allow you to determine the freshness of each pack every time the freezer is opened. Keep the earlier food items in the front to ensure they are used first.

- Frozen food items must be used immediately after defrosting and should not be frozen again.

- Do not freeze large quantities of food at once.

5.18 Deep freezer details

As per the IEC 62552 standards, the freezer must have the capacity to freeze 4.5 kg of food items at -18°C or lower temperatures in 24 hours for each 100 litres of freezer compartment volume. Food items can only be preserved for extended periods at or below a temperature of -18°C. You can keep the foods fresh for months (in a deep freezer at or below temperatures of -18°C). The food items to be frozen must not contact the already-frozen food inside to avoid partial defrosting. Boil the vegetables and filter the water to extend the frozen storage time. Place the food in air-tight packages after filtering and place in the freezer. Bananas, tomatoes, lettuce, celery, boiled eggs, potatoes, and similar food items should not be frozen. Freezing these food items will simply reduce the nutritional value and food quality, as well as possibly causing spoiling which is harmful to health.
