CANDY COT1S45FWH - SAFETY INFORMATION - 1

Scrapping old appliances

CANDY COT1S45FWH - Scrapping old appliances - 1

Warning sign depicting a flame symbol in a triangular hazard triangle.

This appliance is marked according to the European directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).

WEEE contains both polluting substances (which can cause negative consequences for the environment) and basic components (which can be re-used). It is important to have WEEE subjected to specific treatments, in order to remove and dispose properly all pollutants, and recover and recycle all materials.

Individuals can play an important role in ensuring that WEEE does not become an environmental issue; it is essential to follow some basic rules:

  • WEEE should not be treated as household waste.
  • WEEE should be handed over to the relevant collection points managed by the municipality or by registered companies. In many countries, for large WEEE, home collection could be present.

In many countries, when you buy a new appliance, the old one may be returned to the retailer who has to collect it free of charge on a one-to-one basis, as long as the equipment is of equivalent type and has the same functions as the supplied equipment.

Conformity

By placing the CE mark on this product, we are confirming compliance to all relevant European safety, health and environmental requirements which are applicable in legislation for this product.

Guarantee

Minimum guarantee is: 2 years for EU Countries, 3 years for Turkey, 1 year for UK, 1 year for Russia, 3 years for Sweden, 2 years for Serbia, 5 years for Norway, 1 year for Morocco, 6 months for Algeria, Tunisia no legal warranty required.

Energy Saving

For better energy saving we suggest:

• Installing the appliance away from heat sources and not exposed to direct sunlight and in a well ventilated room. - Avoid putting hot food into the refrigerator to avoid increasing the internal temperature and therefore causing continuous functioning of the compressor. • Do not excessively stuff foods so as to ensure proper air circulation. • Defrost the appliance in case there is ice to facilitate the transfer of cold. - In case of absence of electrical energy, it is advisable to keep the refrigerator door closed. • Open or keep the doors of the appliance open as little as possible - Avoid adjusting the setting to temperatures too cold. - Remove dust present on the rear of the appliance

Before first use

You must allow the fridge to settle for at least four hours prior to switching the

power on.

It is recommended that you clean the interior of the appliance prior to first use, using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and warm water and then thoroughly drying the interior. The fridge may have an odor to it at first use. This will disappear as the appliance cools.

Please note:

The appliance will start at 5°C for fridge and -18°C for freezer and work continuously until it comes down to the correct temperature. If the appliance is switched off, you should allow five minutes before switching it on again to prevent unnecessary damage to the compressor. Never store inflammable or explosive items and strong corrosive acids or alkalis in the appliance. This fridge cools your food by making the inside back of the cavity cold. It is normal for frost to build up on this surface; it then dissipates and drains through a small drain at the bottom, where it evaporates harmlessly. The presence of frosting at the back is not a malfunction of the fridge.

Fridge use

● Never put liquids in the refrigerator uncovered.

- Never put hot foods in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool to room temperature before being put into the refrigerator.

- Nothing should rest against the rear wall of the refrigerator, as this will cause frost and possible condensation problems which will be difficult to remove.

● Make sure food is clean and any extra water is wiped away before putting into the fridge.

- Wrap or cover food before putting into the fridge. This will help prevent the loss of moisture, keep food fresh and avoid unpleasant odors.

- Sort foods prior to storing. Any foods to be used soon should be stored at the front of the shelf to prevent deterioration caused by the door being open for prolonged periods.

- Do not overfill the fridge. There should be sufficient space between the foods to allow the cool air to circulate.

- Thawing frozen foods in the fridge compartment will help to keep the temperature low and save energy.

- Never store raw meats on shelves above cooked meats or other produce. This will help to prevent juices from raw meat contaminating other foodstuffs.

Freezer use

● The freezer compartments are designed to store only frozen food.

- Never put hot or warm foods in the freezer, allow them to cool fully before putting them into the freezer.

- Follow the instructions on the food packaging for storage of frozen food. If no information is provided, foods should not be stored for more than three months after the purchase date.

- Store food in small packages (ideally less than 1kg). This reduces the freezing time and improves the quality of the food after thawing.

- Wrap food before putting into the freezer. To stop the wrapping sticking together, ensure it is dry.

- Label the food before freezing with information including type of food and dates of storage and expiry.

- Once food is thawed, it must not be refrozen. Only defrost as much food as is required to prevent wastage.

- Bottled or canned drinks should not be stored in the freezer compartments as they could explode.

● The maximum amount of fresh food that can be frozen within a 24 hour period is 2.0kg.

- Do not attempt to freeze more than the maximum amount.

Clean the appliance with water and a mild detergent and dry it with soft cloth. ➢ Check if power supply, socket and fusing are appropriate to the rating plate. ➢ Check if the power socket is earthed and no multi-plug or extension is present. ➢ Check if the power plug is accessible after the appliance has been positioned. ➢ Refrigerator and freezer temperature are automatically set at 4°C and -18°C respectively. These are the recommended settings. If desired, you can change these temperature manually. See Adjust the temperature.

Environmental conditions

This appliance should be installed in a room that is dry and well ventilated. Do not install the appliance near other heat-emitting appliances (ovens, refrigerators) without isolation or exposed to direct sunlight. If this appliance is situated in a cold environment (such as a shed, outhouse or garage), the performance will be affected and this may damage the food.

Install this product in a position where the ambient temperature is not lower or higher than the operating temperature: in this case the appliance does not work properly.

  • Extended temperate (SN): 'this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 10 °C to 32 °C'.
  • Temperate (N): 'this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 32 °C'.

TIPS FOR FOOD STORAGE

Position different food in different compartments according to the table below:

Refrigerator compartment Type of food
Door or balconies of fridge compartmentFoods with natural preservatives, such as jams, juices, drinks, condimentsDo not store perishable foods
Crisper drawers (salad drawer)Fruits, herbs and vegetables should be placed separately in the crisper binDo not store bananas, onions, potatoes, garlic in the refrigerator
Fridge shelf – middleDairy products, eggs
Fridge shelf – topFoods that do not need cocking, such as ready-to-eat foods, deli meats, leftovers
Freezer drawer(s)/trayFoods for long-term storageBottom drawer for raw meat, poultry, fishMiddle drawer for frozen vegetables, chipsTop tray for ice cream, frozen fruit, frozen baked goods

It's suggested to set the temperature at 4°C in the fridge compartment, and, whether possible, at -18°C in the freezer compartment. For most food categories, the longest storage time in the fridge compartment is achieved with colder temperatures. Since some particular products (as fresh fruits and vegetables) may be damaged with colder temperatures, it is suggested to keep them in the crisper drawers, whenever present. If not present, maintain an average setting of the thermostat. For frozen food, refer to the storage time written on the food packaging. This storage time is achieved whenever the setting respects the reference temperatures of the compartment (one-star -6°C, two stars -12°C, three stars -18°C).

Tips for storing food in the fridge

Keep your fridge temperature below 5°C. Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the appliance. Foods stored in the refrigerator should be washed and dried before storing. Food to be stored should be properly sealed to avoid odor or taste alterations. It is advisable to keep food covered with materials that are tasteless, impermeable to air and water, non-toxic and free of pollution, to avoid contamination or odor transfer. It is recommended not to obstruct the air outlets of the refrigerator compartment. Do not store excessive quantities of food. Leave spaces between foods to allow cold air flowing around them, for a better and more homogenous cooling. Leave a gap between foods and the inner walls, allowing air flowing. In special way don't

store foods against the rear wall, as food could freeze.

The ageing process of some fruit and vegetables (such as melons, papaya, banana, pineapple etc) can be accelerated in the refrigerator; therefore, it is not advisable to store them in the refrigerator. However, the ripening of strongly green fruits can be promoted for a certain period. Onions, garlic, ginger and other root vegetables should also be stored at room temperature.

Tips for 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.

Tips for storing food in the freezer

Keep the freezer temperature at -18°C. Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the freezer compartment. Food cut into small portions will freeze faster and will be easier to defrost and cook. The recommended weight for each portion is less than 2.5 kg. It is better to pack the food before putting it into the freezer. Defrosted food cannot be re-frozen unless it is first cooked. Do not load excessive quantities of fresh food in the freezer compartment. Food can be stored in the freezer at a temperature of at least -18°C for 2 to 12 months, depending on its properties (e.g. meat: 3-12 months, vegetables 6-12 months). Do not exceed the food storage time recommended by the manufacturers.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING! Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before cleaning.

General

The appliance should be cleaned every four weeks for good maintenance and to prevent bad stored food odors.

Ensuring proper door closure:

The gasket is usually compressed after turning the door. Close the door and use a hair dryer to expand the gasket and fill the gap between the door and the appliance housing. Be careful not to hold the hair dryer too close to the appliance as this may damage the gasket. A distance of approximately 10 cm is sufficient. When finished, wait for the gasket and door to cool down before touching them. The gasket should remain in place at the end of the process.

Properly secure the door gasket:

It is normal for the gasket to compress after the door has been reversed. With the door closed, use a hair dryer to warm the gasket and fill the gap between the door and the appliance body. Be careful not to use the hair dryer too close to the appliance, as this could damage the gasket. A distance of about 10 cm should be adequate. When finished, allow the gasket and door to cool before touching them. Once done, the gasket should stay in place.

INSTALLATION

Moving the appliance

  1. Remove all food and unplug the appliance
  2. Secure shelves and other movable parts in the refrigerator and freezer with adhesive tape.
  3. Do not tilt the refrigerator more than 45° to avoid damaging the cooling system.

FOOD STORAGE TIPS

Place different types of food in different compartments according to the following table:

Pregrada u frižideruVrsta hrane
Pregrade u vratima frižideraHrana s prirodnim konzervansima kao što su džemovi, sokovi, pića, začiniNemojte čuvati kvarljivu hranu
Providne fioke (fioka za salatu)Voće, začinske biljke i povrće treba stavljati zasebno u providnu pregraduU frižideru nemojte čuvati banane, luk, krompir, beli luk
Polica u frižideru – srednjaMlečni proizvodi, jaja
Polica u frižideru – gornjaHrana koja se ne kuva, kao što su gotova jela, delikatesno meso, ostaci hrane
Fioke/tacne u zamrzivačuHrana koja se dugo čuvaDonja fioka za sirovo meso, živinsko meso, ribuSrednja fioka za smrznuto povrće, krompirGornja fioka za sladoled, smrznuto voće, smrznuta peciva

It is recommended to set the refrigerator temperature to 4 °C and the freezer temperature to -18 °C whenever possible. For most food categories that need to be kept longer in the refrigerator compartment, it is best to store them at lower temperatures. Since some products (such as fresh fruits and vegetables) can be damaged at lower temperatures, it is recommended to store them in transparent drawers if available. If not, maintain average thermostat settings. For frozen food, the storage time should be indicated on the packaging. This storage time applies when the reference temperatures of the compartment are respected (one star -6 °C, two stars -12 °C, three stars -18 °C)
