Frequently Asked Questions - BIC249WE Scandomestic

How do I properly install my Scandomestic BIC249WE refrigerator?

Place the refrigerator on a level surface away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Allow at least 10 cm clearance on sides and back for ventilation. Let the appliance stand upright for 4 hours before connecting to power.

What should I do if the refrigerator is not cooling enough?

Check that the temperature setting is correct (recommended 3-5°C for fridge, -18°C for freezer). Ensure the door seals properly and the condenser coils are clean. If problem persists, contact customer service.

How do I defrost the freezer compartment?

The freezer must be manually defrosted when ice thickness exceeds 5 mm. Unplug the appliance, remove food, and leave the door open. Place towels to catch water. Never use sharp tools to remove ice.

Why is my refrigerator making unusual noises?

Normal noises include gurgling from coolant, clicking from thermostat, and fan sounds. If you hear loud knocking or vibrations, check that the appliance is level and items inside are stable.

How can I save energy with my BIC249WE?

Keep the appliance away from heat sources, set temperature to recommended levels, avoid frequent door openings, and ensure door seals are clean and intact.

What is the recommended temperature for the refrigerator and freezer?

Fridge temperature should be between 3°C and 5°C, freezer temperature at -18°C or lower.

Can I reverse the door opening direction?

Yes, the door is reversible. Refer to the user manual for step-by-step instructions on how to change the door swing.

How do I clean the condenser coils?

Unplug the refrigerator, remove the front grille, and use a vacuum cleaner or soft brush to gently clean the coils. Reattach the grille and plug back in.

What should I do if the refrigerator stops working?

First, check if the power cord is connected and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. If it's still not working, contact Scandomestic customer service for assistance.

Freezing fresh food

• The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time.
• Place the fresh food to be frozen in the freezer compartment.
• The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate.
• The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food to be frozen.

Storing frozen food

• When first starting up or after a period out of use, before putting the product in the compartment let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings.
• Important: in the event of accidental defrosting, for example the power has been off for longer than the value shown in the technical characteristics chart under “rising time”, the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then re-frozen (after cooked).

Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to be used, can be thawed in the fridge compartment or at room temperature, depending on the time available for this operation.

Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer. In this case cooking will take longer time.

Ice cube tray

This appliance may be equipped with one or more ice cube trays to produce ice cubes

Accessories

Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired.

Positioning the door balconies

To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door balconies can be removed. To make these adjustments proceed as follows: gradually pull the balcony in the direction of the arrows until it comes free.

Helpful hints and tips

To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some important hints:

• The maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;
• The freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added during this period;
• Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs;
• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required;
• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the packages are airtight;
• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter;
• Lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of food;
• Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause the skin to be free e burnt;
• It is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable you removal from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause the skin to be free e burnt;
• It is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage time.

Hints for storage of frozen food

To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:

• Make sure that the commercially frozen food were adequately stored by the retailer;
• Be sure that frozen food are transferred from the food store to the freezer in the shortest possible time;
• Not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be re-frozen;
• Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacture.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance:

• Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator.
• Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
• Make (all types) wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelves above the vegetable drawer.
• For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.
• Cooked foods: cold dishes, etc.: these should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.

• Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s) provided.

• butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminum foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.

• Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the balconies on the door.
