6.3 Deodoriser Module

(OdourFresh +)

*May not be available in all models

The deodoriser module quickly eliminates the bad smells in your refrigerator before they permeate the surfaces. Thanks to this module, which is placed on the ceiling of the fresh food compartment, the bad odours dissolve while the air is actively being passed on the odour filter, then the air that has been cleaned by the filter is re-emitted to the fresh food compartment. This way, the unwanted odours that may emerge during the storage of foods in the refrigerator are eliminated before they permeate the surfaces.

This is achieved thanks to the fan, LED and the odour filter integrated into the module.

When you want to use the deodorizer module, please activate it from the indicator button.

6.4 Humidity controlled crisper (FreSHelf)

(This feature is optional)

Thanks to the humidity controlled crisper, vegetables and fruits may be stored for a longer period at an environment with ideal humidity conditions. With the humidity setting system with 3 options in front of your crisper, you may control the humidity inside the compartment as per the food you store. We recommend you to store your food by selecting vegetable option when you store vegetables only, fruit option when you store fruit only and mixed option when you store mixed food.

We recommend that the vegetables and fruits shall not be stored in bags to improve the storage period of the food and to better benefit from the humidity control system. Leaving them in plastic bags causes vegetables to rot in a short time. We recommend that cucumbers and broccoli, in particular, are not stored in closed bags. In situations where contact with other vegetables is not preferred, use packaging materials such as paper that has a certain level of porosity in terms of hygiene.

When placing the vegetables, place heavy and hard vegetables at the bottom and light and soft ones on the top, taking into account the specific weights of vegetables.

Do not put fruits that have a high ethylene gas production such as pear, apricot, peach and particularly apple in the same crisper with other vegetables and fruits. The ethylene gas coming out of these fruits might cause other vegetables and fruits to mature faster and rot in a shorter period of time.

Using the product

6.5 Blue light/VitaminCare 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 content.

For VitaminCare+,

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

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.

6.17 Freezing fresh food

• To preserve food quality, the food items placed in the freezer compartment must be frozen as quickly as possible, use the rapid freezing for this.
• To freeze a large amount of fresh food press the rapid freeze button 24 hours before placing the food in the freezer compartment.
• Freezing the food items when fresh will extend the storage time in the freezer compartment.
• Pack the food items in air-tight packs and seal tightly.
• Make sure the food items are packed before putting in the freezer. Use freezer holders, tinfoil and damp-proof paper, plastic bag or similar packaging materials instead of traditional packaging paper.
• Mark each food pack by writing the date on the package before freezing. This will allow you to determine the freshness of each pack every time the freezer is opened. Keep the earlier food items in the front to ensure they are used first.
• Frozen food items must be used immediately after defrosting and should not be frozen again.
• Do not free large quantities of food at once.

Using the product

Freezer Compartment Setting	Cooler Compartment Setting	Descriptions
-18°C 4°C		This is the default, recommended setting.
-20,-22 or -24°C 4°C		These settings are recommended for ambient temperatures exceeding 30°C.
Rapid Freeze 4°C		Press Rapid Freeze function 24 hours before placing the food, the product will reset to previous settings when the process is completed.
-18°C or colder 2°C		Use these settings if you believe the cooler compartment is not cold enough due to ambient temperature or frequently opening the door.

6.18 Recommendations for storing frozen foods

The compartment must be set to at least -18°C.

1. Place the food items in the freezer as quickly as possible to avoid defrosting.
2. Before freezing, check the "Expiry Date" on the package to make sure it is not expired.
3. Make sure the food's packaging is not damaged.

6.19 Deep freezer details

As per the IEC 62552 standards, the freezer must have the capacity to freeze 4.5 kg of food items at -18°C or lower temperatures in 24 hours for each 100 liters of freezer compartment volume. Food items can only be preserved for extended periods at or below a temperature of

-18°C. You can keep the foods fresh for months (in a deep freezer at or below temperatures of 18°C). The food items to be frozen must not contact the already-frozen food inside to avoid partial defrosting. Boil the vegetables and filter the water to extend the frozen storage time. Place the food in air-tight packages after filtering and place in the freezer. Bananas, tomatoes, lettuce, celery, boiled eggs, potatoes and similar food items should not be frozen. Freezing these food items will simply reduce the nutritional value and food quality, as well as possible spoiling which is harmful to health.

• The dust shall be removed from the ventilation grill on the rear of the product at least once a year (without opening the cover). Cleaning shall be performed with a dry cloth.

For Products With Water Fountain / Ice Maker

• If the water in the water tank has waited for 2-3 weeks, it shall be replaced.
• The water tank and the components of the water fountain shall not be washed in dishwashers.
• Melt a teaspoonful of carbonate in the water. Moisten a piece of cloth in the water and wring out. Wipe the device with this cloth and dry off thoroughly.
• Take care to keep water away from the lamp's cover and other electrical parts.
• Clean the door with a damp cloth. Remove all contents to remove the door and body racks. Remove the door racks by lifting them upwards. Clean and dry the shelves, then attach back in place by sliding from above.
• Do not use chlorinated water or cleaning products on the exterior

surface and chrome-coated parts of the product. Chlorine will cause rust on such metallic surfaces.

- Do not use sharp and abrasive tools, soap, house cleaning materials, detergents, gas, gasoline, varnish and similar substances to prevent deformation of the plastic part and removal of prints on the part. Use warm water and a soft cloth for cleaning, and then dry it.

- On the products without a No-Frost feature, water droplets and icing up to a thickness of a finger may occur on the rear wall of the freezer compartment. Do not clean, and never apply oils or similar materials.

- Use a mildly dampened micro-fiber cloth to clean the external surface of the product. Sponges and other types of cleaning cloths may cause scratches.

- To clean all removable components during the cleaning of the interior surface of the product, wash these components with a mild solution consisting of soap, water and carbonate. Wash and dry thoroughly. Prevent contact of water with illumination components and the control panel.

CAUTION:

Do not use vinegar, rubbing alcohol or other alcohol based cleaning agents on any interior surface.

7.1 Stainless Steel External Surfaces

Use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaning agent and apply it with a soft lint-free cloth. To polish, gently wipe

7 Maintenance and cleaning

the surface with a micro-fiber cloth dampened with water and use dry polishing chamois. Always follow the veins of the stainless steel.

7.2 Cleaning of the Products with Glass Doors

Remove the protective foil on the glasses.

There is a coating on the surface of the glasses. This coating minimizes formation of stains and provides easy cleaning of the stains and dirt that have been formed. Glass that is not protected by coating may be exposed to permanent bonding of organic or inorganic, air and water-based contaminants such as limestone, mineral salts, unburned hydrocarbons, metal oxides and silicones, which cause staining and physical damage easily in a short period of time. Keeping the glasses clean becomes very difficult, if not impossible, despite the fact they are cleaned regularly. As a result, the transparency and appearance of the glass deteriorates. Hard and abrasive cleaning methods and agents further increase these defects and accelerate the process of deterioration.

For routine cleaning processes, *non-alkaline and non-corrosive water based cleaning products shall be used.

In order to have a longer service life of this coating, alkaline and corrosive substances shall not be used during cleaning.

A tempering process is applied to increase the resistance of these

glasses against impacts and breakage.

As an additional safety precaution, a safety film has been applied to the rear surface of these glasses to prevent harm to the environment in case it breaks.

7.3 Preventing Odours

The product is manufactured free of any odorous materials. However, keeping the food in inappropriate sections and improper cleaning of internal surfaces may lead to odours.

To avoid this, clean the inside with carbonated water every 15 days.

• Keep the foods in sealed holders. Microorganisms may spread out of unsealed food items and cause malodour.
• Do not keep expired and spoilt foods in the refrigerator.

Tea is one of the most effective odour removers. Place the pulp of the brewed tea in the product inside an open container and remove it after 12 hours at the latest. If you keep the tea pulp inside the product for longer than 12 hours, it will collect the organisms that cause the odour so it can be the source of odour itself.

7.4 Protecting Plastic Surfaces

Oil spilled on plastic surfaces may damage the surface and must be cleaned immediately with warm water.

Use of the appliance

Some (simple) failures can be adequately handled by the end-user without any safety issue or unsafe use arising, provided that they are carried out within the limits and in accordance with the following instructions (see the “Self-Repair” section).

Therefore, unless otherwise authorized in the “Self-Repair” section below, repairs shall be addressed to registered professional repairers in order to avoid safety issues. A registered professional repairer is a professional repairer that has been granted access to the instructions and spare parts list of this product by the manufacturer according to the methods described in legislative acts pursuant to Directive 2009/125/EC.

However, only the service agent (i.e. authorized professional repairers) that you can reach through the phone number given in the user manual/warranty card or through your authorized dealer may provide service under the guarantee terms. Therefore, please be advised that repairs by professional repairers (who are not authorized by Grundig) shall void the guarantee.

Repair and repair attempts by end-users for parts not included in such list and/or not following the instructions in the user manuals for self-repair or which are available in support.grundig.com, might give raise to safety issues not attributable to Grundig, and will void the warranty of the product.

Therefore, it is highly recommended that end-users refrain from the attempt to carry out repairs falling outside the mentioned list of spare parts, contacting in such cases authorized professional repairers or registered professional repairers. On the contrary, such attempts by end-users may cause safety issues and damage the product and subsequently cause fire, flood, electrocution and serious personal injury to occur.
