- You may store the food longer in freezer compartment when you freeze them while they are fresh.

- Pack the food to be frozen and close the packing so that it would not allow entrance of air.

- Ensure that you pack your food before putting them in the freezer. Use freezer containers, foils and moisture-proof papers, plastic bags and other packing materials instead of traditional packing papers.

- Label each pack of food by adding the date before freezing. You may distinguish the freshness of each food pack in this way when you open your freezer each time. Store the food frozen before in the front side of compartment to ensure that they are used first.

Freezer Compartment Setting	Fridge Compartment Setting	Remarks
-18°C 4°C		This is the normal recommended setting.
-20, -22 or -24°C 4°C		These settings are recommended when the ambient temperature exceeds 30°C.
Quick Freeze 4°C		Use when you wish to freeze your food in a short time. Your product will return to its previous mode when the process is over.
-18°C or colder 2°C		Use these settings if you think that your fridge compartment is not cold enough because of the hot ambient conditions or frequent opening and closing of the door.

• Frozen food must be used immediately after they are thawed and they should not be re-frozen.
• Do not freeze too large quantities of food at one time.
• «24 hours before freezing the fresh food, activate “Quick Freeze Function”.

The fresh food packages should be placed in bottom drawers.

After placing fresh food packages, activate "Quick

Freeze Function" again.

When the freezer cabinet is set to quick function, joker cabinet is also set to quick function automatically.

<<

5.4 Recommendations for preserving the frozen food

Compartment shall be set to -18^ at least.

1. Put packages in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase without allowing the to thaw.
2. Check whether the "Use By" and "Best Before" dates on the packaging are expired or not before freezing it.
3. Ensure that the package of the food is not damaged.

5.5 Deep-freeze information

According to IEC 62552 standards, the product shall freeze at least 4.5 kg of food at 25^ C ambient temperature to -18^ C or lower within 24 hours for every 100-litres of freezer volume.

It is possible to preserve the food for a long time only at -18^ C or lower temperatures.

You can keep the freshness of food for many months (at -18^ C or lower temperatures in the deep freeze).

Foods to be frozen should not be allowed to come in contact with the previously frozen items to prevent them from getting thawed partially. Boil the vegetables and drain their water in order to store vegetables for a longer time as frozen. After draining their water, put them in air-proof packages and place them inside the freezer. Food such as bananas, tomatoes, lettuce, celery, boiled eggs, potatoes are not suitable for freezing. When these foods are frozen, only their nutritional value and taste shall be affected negatively. They shall not be spoiled so that they would create a risk for human health.

5.6 Placing the food

Freezer compartment shelves	Various frozen food such as meat, fish, ice cream, vegetables and etc.
Refrigerator compartment shelves	Food in pans, covered plates and closed containers, eggs (in closed container)
Door shelves of fridge compartment	Small and packaged food or beverage

Crisper	Vegetables and fruits
Fresh zone compartment	Delicatessen (breakfast food, meat products that shall be consumed in a short time)

5.7 Door open warning

(This feature is optional)

An audio warning signal will be given when the door of your product is left open for 1 minute. This warning will be muted when the door is closed or any of the display buttons (if any) are pressed.

5.8 Crisper

Crisper of the refrigerator is designed specially to keep the vegetables fresh without losing their humidity. For this purpose, cool air circulation is intensified around the crisper in general. Remove the door shelves that stand against the crisper before removing the crisper.

5.9 Humidity-controlled crisper Everfresh+(R)

Humidity rates of fruits and vegetables are kept under control thanks to the humidity-controlled crisper and thus the food is ensured to stay fresh for a longer period.

We recommend that you place leafy vegetables such as lettuce and spinach and vegetables sensitive to humidity loss as horizontally as possible when putting them in the crisper; not in a horizontal position on their roots. While the vegetables are being replaced, their specific weights should be taken into consideration. Heavy and hard vegetables must be placed at the bottom of the crisper and light and soft vegetables must be on the upper part.

Never leave the vegetables in their plastic bags in the crisper. If they are left in their plastic bags, this will cause them to decompose in a short period of time. If you not prefer the vegetable to get in contact with other vegetables for hygienic reasons, use perforated paper or a similar material instead of plastic bags.

Do not place pears, apricots, peaches etc., especially those fruits that generate large amounts of ethylene, in the same crisper with other fruits and vegetables. The ethylene gas emitted by these fruits cause other fruits to ripen sooner and to rot in a shorter span of time.

5.10Egg tray

You can install the egg holder to the desired door or body shelf. Never keep the egg holder in the freezer compartment.

5.11 Movable Middle Section

Movable middle section is intended to prevent the cold air inside your refrigerator from escaping outside.

1. Sealing is provided when the gaskets on the door presses on the surface of the movable middle section while the fridge compartment doors are closed.

2. Another reason that your refrigerator is equipped with a movable middle section is that it increases the net volume of the fridge compartment. Standard middle sections occupy some non-usable volume in the refrigerator.

3. Movable middle section is closed when the left door of the fridge compartment is opened.

4. It must not be opened manually. It moves under the guidance of the plastic part on the body while the door is closed.

The feature of switching to a Fridge or Freezer compartment is provided by a cooling element located in the closed section (Compressor Compartment) behind the refrigerator. During operation of this element, sounds similar to the sound of seconds heard from an analogue clock may be heard. This is normal and is not fault cause.

5.12 Cool Control Storage Compartment

\*May not be available in all models

The Cool Control Storage Compartment of your refrigerator may be used in any desired mode by adjusting it to fridge (2/4/6/8 °C) or freezer (-18/-20/-22/-24) temperatures. You can keep the compartment at the desired temperature with the Cool Control Storage Compartment's Temperature Setting Button. The temperature of the Cool Control Storage Compartment may be set to 0 and 10 degrees in addition to the fridge compartment temperatures and to -6 degrees in addition to the freezer compartment temperatures. 0 degree is used to store the deli products longer, and -6 degrees is used to keep the meats up to 2 weeks in an easily sliceable condition.

The feature of switching to a Fridge or Freezer compartment is provided by a cooling element located in the closed section (Compressor Compartment) behind the refrigerator. During operation of this element, sounds similar to the sound of seconds heard from an analogue clock may be heard. This is normal and is not fault cause.

5.13 Blue light/Vitamin Care Technology

*May not be available in all models

For the blue light,

Fruits and vegetables stored in the crispers that are illuminated with a blue light continue their photosynthesis by means of the wavelength effect of blue light and thus preserve their vitamin C content longer.

For VitaminCare+,

Fruits and vegetables stored in crispers illuminated with the VitaminCare+ technology preserve their vitamin A and C content for a longer time thanks to the blue, green, red lights and dark cycles, which simulate a day cycle.

With this technology, you can keep your fruits & vegetables tasty & healthy longer which helps you to minimize food waste at home.

If you open the door of the refrigerator during the dark period of the VitaminCare+ technology, the refrigerator will automatically detect this and enable the blue, green or red light to illuminate the crisper for your convenience. After you have closed the door of the refrigerator, the dark period will continue, representing the night time in a day cycle.

5.14 Odour filter

Odour filter in the air duct of the fridge compartment prevents build-up of unpleasant odours in the refrigerator.

5.15 Use of internal water dispenser and water dispenser at the door

(in some models)

After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, flush the water system. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser paddle (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 4 gal. (15L) has been dispensed. This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in some households. As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.

Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water.

Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

After 5 minutes of continuous dispensing, the dispenser will stop dispensing water to avoid flooding. To continue dispensing, press the dispenser paddle again.

	It is normal for the first few glasses of water taken from the dispenser to be warm.
	If the water dispenser is not used for a long period of time, dispose of first few glasses of water to obtain fresh water.

During initial use, you will have to wait approximately 24 hours for the water to cool down.

Take out the glass a little while after you pull the trigger.

5.17 Maintaining water dispenser

Before using your fridge first time and after replacing your water filter, water dispenser may drip drops of water. To prevent water dripping or leaking from dispenser, please bleed the air from the system by dispensing 5-6 gallons (about 20 liter) of water through the water dispenser before the first use and every time after you change the water filter. This will remove any air trapped in the system and stop the water dispenser from leaking. Checking coupler position and the straightness of water line at the back of the unit will be required if there's an obstruction in water flow.

If your water dispenser is leaking just a few drops of water after you have dispensed some water, this is normal.

5.18 Icematic

(in some models)

To get ice from the icematic, fill the water tank in the fridge compartment with water up to the maximum level.

Ice cubes in the ice drawer may stick to each other and become a bulk due to hot and humid air in approximately 15 days. This is normal. If you cannot break the bulk apart, you can empty the ice container and make ice again.

It is recommended to change the water in the water tank if it remains in the water tank for more then 2-3 weeks.

Strange noises you hear from the refrigerator at 120-minute intervals are the sounds of ice-making and pouring. This is normal.

If you do not want to make ice, press the Ice off icon to stop the icematic to save energy and prolong the service life of your refrigerator.

It is normal that a few drops of water drop from the dispenser after you have taken water.

5.19 Icematic and ice storage container

(in some models)

Using the Icematic

Fill the Icematic with water and place it into its seat. Your ice will be ready approximately in two hours. Do not remove the Icematic from its seating to take ice.

Turn the knobs on the ice reservoirs clockwise by 90 degrees.

Ice cubes in the reservoirs will fall down into the ice storage container below.

You may take out the ice storage container and serve the ice cubes. If you wish, you may keep the ice cubes in the ice storage container.

Does Grundig offer replacements?

This is a repair-only guarantee. On occasion, the Manufacturer may at its sole discretion, replace your product with a new product instead of carrying out a repair. Where a replacement is offered, this would normally be an identical model but when this is not possible, a model of similar specification will be provided. The Manufacturer will cover the costs and arrange for the delivery of the new product and for the return of the old product. Any costs related to disconnecting the faulty product and installing the replacement product will not be borne by the Manufacturer unless previously agreed to in writing. The original guarantee will continue to apply to the replacement product; the new product will not come with a new guarantee.

When will the repair take place?

Our Engineers work Monday to Friday 9.00am to 5.00pm. Appointments outside these hours may be possible at the sole discretion of the Manufacturer but cannot be guaranteed. Whilst our Engineers will endeavour to minimize inconvenience and to meet requests for specific timed appointments, this cannot be guaranteed. We will not be liable for delays or if it is unable to carry out a repair because a convenient appointment cannot be arranged.

Will there be any charge for the repairs?

It is your responsibility to provide evidence to the Engineer that your product is covered by this guarantee with a proof of purchase. The Manufacturer reserves the right to charge for the reasonable cost of any service call if:

• You cannot provide evidence that your product is covered by this guarantee.
• Where a service call has been made and the engineer finds that there is no fault with your product.
• That your product has not been installed or operated in accordance with the User Instructions Booklet.
• That the fault was caused by something other than faulty materials, defective components or manufacturing defects.
  • For missed appointments.

Payment of these costs are due immediately upon the Engineer providing you with an invoice. The Manufacturer reserves the right to terminate the guarantee if you fail to pay the costs for the service call in a timely manner.

If you are a resident of the United Kingdom, this guarantee will be governed by English law and subject to the English Courts, save where you live in another part of the United Kingdom, in which case the law and courts of that location will apply.

If you are resident in the Republic of Ireland, this guarantee will be governed by Irish law and the Irish courts will have jurisdiction.
