New objects of value With the aim of constantly improving our products, we reserve the right to make changes in technical, operating or aesthetic specifications in line with technical advances. 

Important:

Before switching on your appliance, read this installation and user manual carefully, in order to become familiar with how it operates as quickly as possible. www.dedietrich.co.uk

Safety instructions

This appliance is designed for preserving and freezing food, and is for domestic use only. It is essential to observe the following instructions. All liability and guarantees are denied if these recommendations are not followed, resulting in damage or personal injury. Your appliance must be installed, and fixed if necessary, and be used according to the instructions in this installation and user manual, in order to prevent any damage and danger arising from incorrect installation. If the appliance has been transported to your home in a horizontal position, place it upright and wait for two hours before connecting it. A small amount of oil may have moved into the cooling circuit, and it must be given sufficient time to return to the compressor before the appliance can be connected. If not, damage may occur. If your appliance has wheels, remember that these are only to be used for making short movements. Do not move it over long distances. Clean the appliance (see chapter "Installing your appliance") for the first time before connecting to the mains electricity supply. Whenever carrying out any maintenance, first switch off the appliance. Never pull on the electricity cable, hold the plug directly. Never place containers with liquids in the freezer unless they are filled to a maximum of 2/3 their capacity. Freezing may cause the liquids and the container to explode. Do not use electrical apparatus inside compartments for storing frozen food, unless otherwise recommended by the manufacturer. Do not allow children to play with the appliance. Keep pets away. Appliances no longer in use must be rendered unusable. Unplug and cut the electricity cable level with the appliance. Try to prevent the door lock from operating, or better still, remove the door to prevent children or animals from being locked inside while playing, for example. If events occur which you cannot rectify by following the advice given (see chapter "Noises, or minor faults"), only call in an authorised after sales service centre, or a qualified professional. The cooling circuit on the appliance contains isobutene as a cooling fluid (R600a), a non-polluting natural gas, but which is inflammable. During the transport and installation of the appliance, make sure that none of the components on the cooling circuit have been damaged. If damage has occurred, keep the appliance away from flame and any heat source. Ventilate the room containing the appliance.

Respect for the environment and energy saving

To reduce the power consumption of the appliance: - Install it in a suitable place (see chapter "Installing your appliance") - Keep the doors open for the shortest time possible. Do not load warm food into the refrigerator or freezer, especially if they are soups or other dishes that release a large amount of steam. - Check the door seals periodically, and ensure that they always close properly. If not, contact the after sales service department. - To obtain the minimum energy consumption, deactivate the ICS function as described on page 97. In compliance with the most recent legislation on protecting and respect for the environment, the appliance does not contain CFCs, but a cooling gas called R600a. The exact type of cooling gas used in the appliance appears clearly labelled on the specifications plate inside the refrigerator, on the lower part of the side. R600a is a non-polluting gas that does not harm the ozone layer and has an almost imperceptible effect on the greenhouse effect.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

 The materials used for packaging the appliance can be recycled. Play a positive role in recycling it and help to preserve the environment by throwing it away in the municipal bins specially for the purpose. The appliance also contains materials that can be recycled, and carries a label with the symbol stating that appliances no longer in use must not be placed with other rubbish. This means that the recycling organised by the manufacturer can be carried out under the best possible conditions, in accordance with the European Union directive 2002/96/EC on waste electric and electronic equipment. Consult the town council or your sales centre to find out where the collection points nearest to your home are. Thank you for helping to protect the environment.

Anti-bacterial PROTECTION

This is a special coating on the inner walls of the refrigerator, containing ions of silver that prevent the bacteria from developing. The anti-bacterial coating does not need any special treatment and will remain active throughout the life of the appliance. However, the appliance must be cleaned regularly. See the chapter on "Cleaning the appliance".

The temperatures displayed on the screen are the requested temperatures, not the real temperatures. (i) To see the real temperatures for each zone, press the - and + keys for 3 seconds. Even when the screen is off, the appliance has electrical current running through it.

Preparing food for storing in the refrigerator

Before putting food in the appliance: Protect fresh food properly: they will preserve the aroma, colour humidity content and freshness. This also prevents the flavour of some foods being transmitted to others. Only vegetables, fruit and lettuce can be stored without protection in the vegetable drawer. Let food and hot drinks go cold outside the appliance. Remove cardboard wrappings around yoghurt pots. Check that the expiry date on the products has not passed.

Loading food into the refrigerator

 The temperature inside the refrigerator is not uniform. Certain zones are colder than others and food must be stored according to type in the correct zone to ensure that they are properly preserved. 

Loading food into the refrigerator

Leave a space between the foods so that air can circulate freely and to prevent any contamination between different types of food. Do not put wrappings or food where they can obstruct the air outlets on the cooling column.  Do not cover the temperature sensor with food.

Guide to freezing food

Your domestic appliance allows you to freeze foods. Deep freezing is an industrial process that is faster and more intensive than domestic freezing. Store bought products are deep frozen.

Preparing food for the freezer

Freezing does not eliminate germs. It is important to prepare food for freezing following some simple rules of hygiene: wash your hands before touching the food, clean kitchen utensils before using them again. Only freeze fresh products that are of good quality. Consult the "Guide to freezing food" to find out which products can be frozen, and how long they can be kept. Wash the fruit and vegetables before freezing to preserve their colour, aroma, taste and vitamins. cover them in boiling water for a few minutes. Divide the food into portions. These freeze faster and preserve a higher quality. Wrap food hermetically to prevent it from losing flavour, or drying. To this end, use plastic bags, polyethylene film. aluminium foil or suitable containers. If using plastic bags, press the air out of them before sealing hermetically. Never place bottles or containers with liquids in the freezer unless they are filled to only 2/3 capacity: freezing expands liquids and the container may burst. Mark each package with: - the date of freezing - the expiry date - the type of food contained - the number of portions contained If you buy frozen products, add these to your shopping basket last of all. Check carefully : - that the packaging is in good condition - that they are not covered in a layer of ice (this means that they have been partially thawed) Put them together and protect with an isothermal bag, or in newspaper, transport them rapidly and place them in the freezer immediately. Observe the expiry date given on the packaging. The appliance is fitted with a \*\*\*\* freezing compartment. This enables deep frozen products to be preserved, or fresh food to be frozen in the optimum way.

Do not put fresh food next to food which is already frozen, to prevent these from rising in temperature. The maximum weight of food that can be frozen for 24 hours is shown on the specifications plate (inside the refrigerator on the lower, left-hand wall) labelled: "CAPACIDAD DE CONGELACION/ FREEZING CAPACITY (kg / 24h) ".

Rapid freezing

The "Rapid freezing" function enables the temperature in the freezer to be lowered rapidly to the maximum in order to freeze a large amount of fresh food fast (see "starting up and setting the appliance") Food can be placed for freezing in all the freezer compartments shown.  Food must be completely frozen as fast as possible in order to preserve the vitamins and nutritional value, appearance and flavour.

Thawing food

Food can be thawed in five different ways: - put it in the refrigerator for several hours - leaving it to thaw at room temperature - in the oven at very low temperature (40 / 50^) - in the microwave - cooking directly Thawing in the refrigerator is the slowest method, but the safest. Never re-freeze food once it has been thawed, even if only partially, without cooking previously. It is not recommended to eat products immediately that have just been taken from the freezer (ice-cream, ice...): they are at very low temperatures and you may burn your mouth from the cold. Do not touch frozen food with wet hands: they may adhere to the food. It is recommended only to thaw food that is for immediate use.

Automatic defrosting of the freezer

Defrosting the freezer on the appliance is completely automatic. The defrosting water goes to a drainage tray on the compressor. The heat given off by the compressor evaporates the water.

Maintaining the appliance

Whenever carrying out any maintenance, first switch off the appliance. Never pull on the electricity cable, hold the plug directly.

CLEANING THE APPLIANCE

It is recommended to clean and disinfect the appliance regularly in order to safely improve hygiene and food preservation. Remove all products from the appliance. Place them in isothermal bags or wrap in newspaper and put in a cool place. Clean the inside and outside of the appliance with bicarbonate of soda dissolved in water (1 dessertspoonful to 4 litres of water). Never use alcohol, abrasive powders or detergents that could damage the surfaces. Do not use high pressure jets of steam. Steam may damage surfaces and electrical circuits. You run the risk of electrocuting yourself. Rinse with water, dry with a cloth. Do not forget to clean the condenser from time to time; this is at the back of the appliance (see the chapter "Description of your appliance"). Use a dry brush, or, better, a vacuum cleaner. Plug the appliance into the mains again; if necessary, set the temperature of the refrigerator as described in "Setting the temperature of the refrigerator", and press the "rapid freezing" key. Wait for 3/4 hour before returning the food to the appliance. After 24 hours, you can switch off the "rapid freezing", if you do not, it will switch off automatically after 52 hours.

Maintaining the appliance

Changing the lamp Tools required: Phillips screwdriver. Unplug the appliance from the mains. 1. Remove the cover from the screw in the lower part of the cooling column. 2. Remove the plastic casing by lifting upward and toward the outside of the appliance. 3. Free the neon lamp from the fasteners and release the electrical connection bushes at the ends. 4. Change the lamp for another of the same type (15w) and fit, following the steps described in point 3 in reverse. 5. Fit the plastic casing and replace the screw in the lower part of the column. Replace the screw cover.  Plug the appliance into the mains.

Noises and minor faults
