How to use the accessories

Crisper humidity controls (Fig. 7)

This has been designed to keep your vegetables fresh, without losing moisture. For this purpose, cold air circulates around the crisper. The amount of cold air passing out of the crisper can be regulated with the controls found on the front of its cover. You may set the humidity-control knob to the position appropriate to adjust the degree of moisture and coldness of the foodstuffs inside. If you want these to cool further, set the control to “Open”, if you want them to cool less but retain their moisture for a long period, set it to “Closed”. Positions in between allow you to regulate cooling and moisture-retention as you desire.

Prior to startup

Before you begin operating your device, the following points should be re-checked for safety:

• Is the device standing properly on the floor?
- Is there sufficient space for good air circulation?
- Is the interior clean? (Also see the section "Cleaning and care")
- Set the thermostat knob half way between 1 and 5 or Min. and Max.
- Now connect the device to the mains.

The compressor is turned on; the interior light comes on when the door is opened.

Do not place foodstuff into the refrigerator until the temperature has reached the desired level.

Setting the operating temperature

(Fig. 2)

The operating temperature is regulated by the temperature control.

(Or) Min. Max.

1 = Lowest cooling setting (Warmest setting)

5 = Highest cooling setting (Coldest setting)

(Or)

Min. = Lowest cooling setting

(Warmest setting)

Max. = Highest cooling setting

(Coldest setting)

The average temperature inside the fridge should be around +5°C.

Please choose the setting according to the desired temperature.

You can stop operation of your device only by pulling out the mains plug from the wall socket.

Please note that there will be different temperatures in the cooling area.

The coldest region is immediately above the vegetable compartment.

The interior temperature also depends on ambient temperature, the frequency with which the door is opened and the amount of foods kept inside.

Frequently opening the door causes the interior temperature to rise.

For this reason, it is recommended to close the door again as soon as possible after use.

Cooling

Food storage

The fridge compartment is for the short-term storage of fresh food and drinks.

Store milk products in the intended compartment in the refrigerator.

Bottles can be stored in the bottle holder or in the bottle shelf of the door.

Raw meat is best kept in a polyethylene bag in the compartment at the very bottom of the refrigerator.

Allow hot foods and beverages to cool to room temperature prior to placing them in the refrigerator.

Attention

Store concentrated alcohol only standing upright and tightly closed.

Attention

Do not store explosive substances or containers with flammable propellant gases (canned cream, spray cans etc.) in the device. There is a danger of explosion.

Defrosting of the device

The fridge compartment defrosts automatically. The thawing water flows through the drain channel into a collection container at the rear of the device (Fig. 4).

During defrosting, water droplets form at the back of the fridge due to the evaporator. If not all of the drops run down, they may freeze again after defrosting remove them with a cloth soaked in warm water, but never with a hard or sharp object.

Check the flow of the thawed water from time to time. It may become plugged occasionally. Clean it with a q-tip or similar (see the section "Cleaning and care").

Freezing

Freezing food

The freezing area is marked with this symbol.

You can use the device for freezing fresh food as well as for storing pre-frozen food. Please refer to the recommendations given on the packaging of your food.

Attention

Do not freeze fizzy drinks, as the freezing liquid may burst the bottle.

Be careful with frozen products such as coloured ice-cubes.

Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 h. See Technical Features leaflet.

In order to maintain the quality of the food, the freezing must be effected as rapidly as possible. Thus, the freezing capacity will not be exceeded, and the temperature inside the freezer will not rise.

Attention

Keep the already deep-frozen food always separated with freshly placed food.

When deep-freezing hot food, the cooling compressor will work until the food is completely frozen. This can temporarily cause excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment.

If you find the freezer door difficult to open just after you have closed it, don't worry. This is due to the pressure difference which will equalize and allow the door to open normally after a few minutes.

You will hear a vacuum sound just after closing the door. This is quite normal.

Making ice cubes

Fill the ice-cube tray 3/4 full with water and place it in the freezer.

As soon as the water has turned into ice, you can take out the ice cubes.

Never use sharp objects such as knives or forks to remove the ice cubes. There is a risk of injury!

Let the ice cubes slightly thaw instead, or put the bottom of the tray in hot water for a short moment.

Defrosting of the device

Excessive build-up of ice will affect the freezing performance of your device.

It is therefore recommended that you defrost your device at least twice a year, or whenever the ice build-up exceeds 7 mm.

Defrost your device when there is only little or no food in it.

Take out the deep-frozen food. Wrap the deep-frozen food in several layers of paper, or a blanket, and keep it in a cold place.

Unplug the device or shut off or remove the fuse to start the defrosting process.

Take out the accessories (like shelf, drawer etc.) from the device and use a suitable container to collect the thawing water.

Use a sponge or a soft cloth to remove thawing water if necessary (Fig. 6).

Keep the door open during defrosting.

For quicker defrosting, place containers with warm water inside the device.

Never use electrical appliances, defrosting sprays or pointed or sharp-edged objects such as knives or forks to remove the ice.

After the defrosting is done, clean the inside (see the section "Cleaning and Care").

Reconnect the device to the mains. Place the frozen food in the drawers and inside the freezer.

Replacing the interior light bulb (Fig. 5)

Should the light fail to work, proceed as follows.

1- Switch off at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug.

You may find it useful to remove shelves for easy access.

2- Use a flat tipped screwdriver to remove the light diffuser cover.

3- First check that the bulb hasn't worked loose by ensuring it is screwed securely in the holder. Replace the plug and switch on.

If the bulb works, replace the light cover by inserting the rear lug and pushing up to locate the front two lugs.

4- If the light still fails to work, switch off at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug.

Replace the bulb with a new 15 watt (max) screw cap (SES) bulb.

5- Carefully dispose of the burnt-out light bulb immediately.

Replacement light bulb can easily be obtained from a good local electrical or DIY store.

Cleaning and care

Interior and Exterior Surfaces

Attention

Always unplug the power cable or switch off the circuit breaker before cleaning.

Clean the exterior using lukewarm water and a mild detergent.

Never use detergents, abrasive or acidic agents.

Wipe the inside compartment dry.

Be careful to prevent water from getting into contact with the electrical connections of the temperature control or the interior light.

If the device is not going to be used for a long period of time, switch it off and remove all food. Clean the device and keep the door open.

To preserve the appearance of your device, you can polish the exterior and the door accessories with a silicone wax.

Clean the condenser at the back of the device once a year using a brush or a vacuum cleaner.

Dust build-up leads to increased energy consumption.

Inspect the door gasket at regular intervals.

Clean with water only, and wipe totally dry.

Cleaning of the accessories

Door shelves:

Remove all food from the door shelves.

Lift the cover of the shelf upwards and pull it off sideward.

Remove the bottom of the door shelf by pushing it upwards.

Collecting container (Pan):

Make sure that the pan at the back of the device is always clean.

Gently release the snap of the pan from the compressor by pushing it using a tool (like screwdriver), so that the pan can be removed.

Lift the pan, clean it and wipe it dry.

Re-assemble in reverse order.

Crisper or Drawers:

To clean a drawer, pull it out as far as possible, tilt it upwards and then pull it out completely.

Melons	store only for a short period of time, use airtight packaging/wrapping
Raw meat and poultry	do not store together with delicate food such as cooked food or milk

Normal operating noises

Various functional noises are completely normal due to the operation of the cooling system of your appliance;

• Gurgling, hissing, boiling or bubbling noises are caused by the refrigerant, circulating inside the cooling system. These noises can still be heard for a short period of time after the compressor shuts off.
• Sudden, sharp cracking or popping noises are caused by the expansion and contraction of the inside walls or some components inside the cabinets.
• Buzzing, whirring, pulsating or high-pitched humming noises are caused by the compressor. These noises are slightly louder at the start-up of the compressor and reduce when the appliance reaches the operating temperatures.

Also to avoid disturbing vibrations and noises make sure that;

• Your refrigerator is standing level on all four feet.
• Your refrigerator is not in contact with the walls, surrounding objects or kitchen cabinets and furniture.
• Cans, bottles or dishes inside the refrigerator are not touching and rattling against each other.
• All shelves and bins are mounted correctly inside the refrigerator cabinets and doors.

What, if....

1- The device will not work, even though it is switched on.

• Check if the mains plug is properly connected!
• Check if the mains supply is in order, or if a fuse has been tripped!
• Check the temperature control for correct setting!

2- There is a power failure.

Your freezer is suitable for the long-term storage of frozen food that are available commercially and also can be used to freeze and store fresh food.

Do not open the door in case of a power failure.

For a *** rated appliance, frozen food in the freezer compartment will not be affected if the power failure lasts shorter than the "Conservation Time From Failure (hours)" mentioned in the rating label.

If the power failure is longer than the “Conservation Time From Failure (hours)”, then the food should be checked and either consumed immediately or cooked and then re-frozen.

3- The interior light does not work.

Check the power supply!

Check the installation of the light bulb! Unplug the power supply before checking the light bulb. (Also see the section "Replacing the interior light")

4- Other possible malfunctions

Not every malfunction is a case for our customer service. Very often, you can easily resolve the problem without requesting service. Before requesting service, please check if the malfunction has been caused by an operating error. If this is the case, and a service has been requested, a service charge will be levied even if the device is still under guarantee.

If the problem persists please contact your dealer or customer service.

Please have the type and serial number of your device when calling. The rating label is located inside.
