Frequently Asked Questions - VR-FB492-3H0B VESTFROST

How do I set the refrigerator temperature?

Press the cooler button to adjust the fridge temperature between +2°C and +8°C. The initial value is +4°C. Each press decreases the temperature; after the lowest, it cycles back to +8°C. For the freezer, press the freezer set button to cycle between -16°C and -24°C.

How do I activate Super Freeze mode?

Press and hold the freezer temperature button for 3 seconds. The super freeze symbol will light up and the appliance will beep. This mode is used to freeze large quantities of fresh food quickly. It automatically cancels after 24 hours or when the freezer sensor reaches a low enough temperature. You cannot use economy mode while it's active.

What is Purebeam technology?

Purebeam technology uses special LEDs and a fan to break down malodour molecules in the fridge, effectively removing bad odours and keeping the air clean. It is located in the ceiling of the cooling compartment and improves the quality of air for fresh food.

How do I clean the refrigerator?

Disconnect from power. Use a solution of warm water and bicarbonate of soda, then rinse with clean water and dry. Do not use abrasive products, detergents, or allow water to enter the lamp housing. Clean the condenser with a brush at least twice a year to improve efficiency.

The refrigerator is making noises. Is this normal?

Yes, some noises are normal: cracking during defrosting or thermal expansion, clicking from the thermostat, motor noise from the compressor, bubbling from refrigerant flow, water flowing to the evaporation container, and air blowing. If you hear unusual noises, check if the appliance is level.

Why is there condensation inside the fridge?

Condensation can occur if food is not properly wrapped, the door is opened frequently (humidity from the room enters), or there is water on the rear wall after automatic defrosting (normal). Ensure all containers are dry and closed, and minimize door openings.

How do I use the freezer box?

The freezer box allows easier access to food. To remove it, pull it out as far as possible, then lift the front up and out. To refit, do the opposite. Always hold the handle while removing it.

How do I replace the interior LED light?

The LEDs should be replaced by an Authorised Service Centre. Do not attempt to replace them yourself. Contact the nearest Authorised Service Centre for assistance.

What are the error codes in the display?

Codes like E01-E07 indicate sensor warnings and require service. E08 is low voltage (supply below 170V) and is not a failure. E09 means the freezer is not cold enough, E10 fridge too warm, E11 fridge too cold. Follow the instructions in the manual for each code.

Can I install this refrigerator outdoors or in a cold room?

It is designed for indoor use. It can operate in ambient temperatures from 10°C to 43°C (depending on climate class) thanks to Freezer Shield technology, which protects frozen food even at -15°C. Do not expose it to rain or direct sunlight.

2. THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES

2.1 Information about New Generation Cooling Technology

Refrigerators with new-generation cooling technology have a different operating system to static refrigerators. Other (static) refrigerators may experience a build up of ice in the freezer compartment due to door openings and humidity in the food. In such refrigerators, regular defrosting is required; the refrigerator must be switched off, the frozen food moved to a suitable container and the ice which has formed in the freezer compartment removed.

In refrigerators with new-generation cooling technology, a fan blows dry cold air evenly throughout the fridge and freezer compartments. The cold air cools your food evenly and uniformly, preventing humidity and ice build-up.

In the fridge compartment, air blown by the fan, located at the top of the fridge compartment, is cooled while passing through the gap behind the air duct. At the same time, the air is blown out through the holes in the air duct, evenly spreading cool air throughout the fridge compartment. There is no air passage between the freezer and fridge compartments, therefore preventing the mixing of odours.

As a result, your refrigerator, with new-generation cooling technology, provides you with ease of use as well as a huge volume and aesthetic appearance.

3.4 Temperature Adjustment Warnings

• It is not recommended that you operate your refrigerator in environments colder than 10°C in terms of its efficiency.
• Do not start another adjustment while you are already making an adjustment.
• Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door openings, the quantity of food kept inside the fridge and the ambient temperature in the location of your refrigerator.
• In order to allow your refrigerator to reach the operating temperature after being connected to mains, do not open the doors frequently or place large quantities of food in the fridge. Please note that, depending on the ambient temperature, it may take 24 hours for your fridge to reach the operating temperature.
• A 5 minute delay function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your refrigerator when connecting or disconnecting to mains, or when an energy breakdown occurs. Your refrigerator will begin to operate normally after 5 minutes.
• Your appliance is designed to operate in the ambient temperature (T/SN = 10°C - 43°C) intervals stated in the standards, according to the climate class displayed on the information label. We do not recommend operating your appliance out of the stated temperature limits in terms of cooling effectiveness.

Climate class and meaning:

T (tropical): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 43 °C.

ST (subtropical): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 38 °C.

N (temperate): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 32 °C.

SN (extended temperate):

Freezer boxes

3.5.3 The Chiller Shelf (In some models)

Keeping food in the Chiller compartment, instead of the freezer or fridge compartments, allows food to retain freshness and flavour for longer, while preserving its fresh appearance. When the Chiller tray becomes dirty, remove it and wash with water. (Water freezes at 0° C, but food containing salt or sugar freezes at temperatures lower than this). The Chiller compartment is usually used for storing foods such as raw fish, lightly pickled food, rice, and so on.

Do not put food you want to freeze or ice trays (to make ice) in the Chiller compartment.

Chiller shelf

To remove the Chiller Shelf

• Pull the chiller shelf towards you by sliding it on the rails.
• Pull the chiller shelf up from the rail and remove it from the fridge.

3.5.4 The Fresh Dial (In some models)

If the crisper is full, the fresh dial located in front of the crisper should be opened. This allows the air in the crisper and the humidity rate to be controlled, to increase the life of food within. The dial, located behind the shelf, must be opened if any condensation is seen on the glass shelf.

3.5.5 Adjustable Glass Shelf (In some models)

Adjustable glass shelf mechanism provides higher storage spaces with a simple movement. To cover the glass shelf, push it. You can load your food as you want in the resulting extra space. To bring the shelf in its original position, pull it toward you.

Fig. 1 Fig. 2

3.5.6 Purebeam Technology

The Purebeam technology effectively removes odors from inside the fridge. Thanks to this module located in the ceiling of the cooling compartment, via fan the malodor molecules that are directed to the filter are broken down by special LEDs and the cleaned air directs to the fresh foods. The quality of the air in the fridge improves and always kept clean.

Purebeam

3.5.7 Maxi-fresh (If available)

Maxi Fresh technology helps to remove ethylene gas (a bioproduct released naturally from fresh foods) and unpleasant odors from the crisper. In this way, food stays fresh for a longer time.

• Maxi Fresh must be cleaned once in a year. The filter should be waited for 2 hours at 65°C in a oven.
• To clean the filter, please remove the back cover of the filter box by pulling it in the direction of the arrow.
  • The filter should not be washed with water or any detergent.

4. ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE

4.1 Fridge compartment

For normal operating conditions, set the temperature of the cooler compartment to +4 or +6°C.

• To reduce humidity and avoid the consequent formation of frost, always store liquids in sealed containers in the fridge. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporating liquid and, in time, your appliance will require more frequent defrosting.
• Never place warm food in the fridge. Warm food should be allowed to cool at room temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the fridge compartment.
• Make sure no items are in direct contact with the rear wall of the appliance as frost will develop and packaging will stick to it. Do not open the fridge door frequently.
  • We recommend that meat and clean fish are loosely wrapped and stored on the glass shelf just above the vegetable bin where the air is cooler, as this provides the best storage conditions.
• Store loose fruit and vegetable items in the crisper containers.
• Store loose fruit and vegetables in the crisper.
• Storing fruit and vegetables separately helps prevent ethylene-sensitive vegetables (green leaves, broccoli, carrot, etc.) being affected by ethylene-releaser fruits (banana, peach, apricot, fig etc.).
• Do not put wet vegetables into the refrigerator.
• Storage time for all food products depends on the initial quality of the food and an uninterrupted refrigeration cycle before refrigerator storage.
• To avoid cross-contamination do not store meat products with fruit and vegetables. Water leaking from meat may contaminate other products in the fridge. You should package meat products and clean any leakages on the shelves.
• Do not put food in front of the air flow passage.
• Consume packaged foods before the recommended expiry date.
• For normal working conditions, it will be sufficient to adjust the temperature setting of your fridge to +4°C .
• The temperature of the fridge compartment should be in the range of 0-8 °C, fresh foods below 0 °C are iced and rotted, bacterial load increases above 8 °C, and spoils.
• Do not put hot food in the fridge immediately, wait for the temperature to pass outside. Hot foods increase the degree of your fridge and cause food poisoning and unnecessary spoiling of the food.
• Meat, fish, etc. should be store in the chiller compartment of the food, and the vegetable compartment is preferred for vegetables. (if available)
  • To prevent cross contamination, meat products and fruit vegetables are not stored together.
• Foods should be placed in the fridge in closed containers or covered to prevent moisture and odors.

The table below is a quick guide to show you the most efficient way to store the major food groups in your fridge compartment.

Food	Maximum storage time	How and where to store
Vegetables and fruits 1 week Vegetable bin
Meat and fish 2 - 3 days		Wrap in plastic foil, bags, or in a meat container and store on the glass shelf
Fresh cheese 3 - 4 days On the designated door shelf
Butter and margarine 1 week On the designated door shelf
Bottled products e.g. milk and yoghurt	Until the expiry date recommended by the producer	On the designated door shelf
Eggs 1 month On the designated egg shelf
Cooked food 2 days All shelves

NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the fridge.

4.2 Freezer compartment

For normal operating conditions, set the temperature of the freezer compartment to -18 or -20°C.

• The freezer is used for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food, and making ice cubes.
• To use the maximum capacity of the freezer compartment, use the glass shelves for the upper and middle section, and use the lower basket for the bottom section.
• Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze home cooking (and any other food which needs to be frozen quickly) more quickly because of the freezing shelf's greater freezing power. Fast freezing shelf is the bottom drawer of the freezer compartment.
• For freezing fresh food; wrap and seal fresh food properly, that is the packaging should be air tight and shouldn't leak. Special freezer bags, aluminum foil polythene bags and plastic containers are ideal.
• Do not store fresh food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.
• Before freezing fresh food, divide it into portions that can be consumed in one sitting.
• Consume thawed frozen food within a short period of time after defrosting
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment as it will thaw the frozen food.
• Always follow the manufacturer's instructions on food packaging when storing frozen food. If no information is provided food, should not be stored for more than 3 months from the date of purchase.
• When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it has been stored under appropriate conditions and that the packaging is not damaged.
• Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers and placed in the freezer as soon as possible.
• Do not purchase frozen food if the packaging shows signs of humidity and abnormal swelling. It is probable that it has been stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated.
• The storage life of frozen food depends on the room temperature, the thermostat setting, how often the door is opened, the type of food, and the length of time required to transport the product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated. The maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the appliance label.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

• Never refreeze thawed frozen food.
• The taste of some spices found in cooked dishes (anise, basilica, watercress, vinegar, assorted spices, ginger, garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.) changes and they assume a strong taste when they are stored for a long period of time. Therefore, add small amounts of spices to food to be frozen, or the desired spice should be added after the food has thawed.
• The storage time of food is dependent on the type of oil used. Suitable oils are margarine, calf fat, olive oil and butter. Unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.
• Food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and other food should be frozen in plastic folios or bags.

The table below is a quick guide to show you the most efficient way to store the major food

If you are experiencing a problem with your appliance, please check the following before contacting the after-sales service.

Your refrigerator does not operate

Check if:

• Your appliance is plugged in and switched on
• The fuse has blown
• Is the temperature adjustment right?

- The socket is faulty. To check this, plug another working appliance into the same socket.

Your refrigerator is performing poorly

Check if:

• Is the temperature adjustment right?
- Is the door of your appliance opened frequently and left open for a long while?
• The appliance is overloaded
• The doors are closed properly
- Did you put a dish or food on your fridge so that it contacts the rear wall of your fridge so as to prevent the air circulation?
• Is your fridge filled excessively?
- There is an adequate distance between the appliance and surrounding walls
- Is the ambient temperature within the range of values specified in the operating manual?

Your refrigerator is operating noisily

The following noises can be heard during normal operation of the appliance.

Cracking noise occurs:

• During automatic defrosting
- When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material).

Clicking noise occurs: When the thermostat switches the compressor on/off.

Motor noise: Indicates the compressor is operating normally. The compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is first activated.

Bubbling noise and splash occurs: Due to the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system.

Water flowing noise occurs: Due to water flowing to the evaporation container. This noise is normal during defrosting.

Air blowing noise occurs: In some models during normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air.

There is a build-up of humidity inside the fridge

Check if:

• All food is packed properly. Containers must be dry before being placed in the fridge.
• The fridge doors are opened frequently. Humidity of the room will enter the fridge each time the doors are opened. Humidity increases faster if the doors are opened frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high.
• There is a build-up of water droplets on the rear wall. This is normal after automatic defrosting (in Static Models).procesu automatycznego odszraniania. (w przypadku modeli statycznych).

The doors are not opening or closing properly

Check if:

• There is food or packaging preventing the door from closing
  • The door compartments, shelves and drawers are placed properly
  • The door gaskets are broken or torn
• Your refrigerator is level.Czy chłodziarcze została ustawiona na poziomej powierzchni?

The edges of the refrigerator in contact with the door joint are warm

Especially during summer (warm weather), the surfaces in contact with the door joint may become warmer during operation of the compressor. This is normal.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• In the case of a power failure, or if the appliance is unplugged and plugged in again, the gas in the cooling system of your refrigerator will destabilise, causing the compressor protective thermal element to open. Your refrigerator will start to operate normally after 5 minutes.
• If the appliance will not be used for a long period of time (such as during holidays), disconnect the plug. Defrost and clean the refrigerator, leaving the door open to prevent the formation of mildew and odour.
• If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult the nearest Authorised Service Centre.
• This appliance is designed for domestic use and for the stated purposes only. It is not suitable for commercial or common use. If the consumer uses the appliance in a way that does not comply with these instructions, we emphasise that the manufacturer and the dealer will not be responsible for any repair or failure within the guarantee period.

TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY

1. Install the appliance in a cool, well-ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight and not near a heat source (such as a radiator or oven) otherwise an insulating plate should be used.
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool before placing them inside the appliance.
3. Place thawing food in the fridge compartment. The low temperature of the frozen food will help cool the refrigerator compartment while the food is thawing. This will save energy. Frozen food left to thaw outside of the appliance will result in a waste of energy.
4. Drinks or other liquids should be covered when inside the appliance. If left uncovered, the humidity inside the appliance will increase, therefore the appliance uses more energy. Keeping drinks and other liquids covered helps preserve their smell and taste.
5. Avoid keeping the doors open for long periods and opening the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the appliance and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
6. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (such as the crisper and chiller) closed.
7. The door gasket must be clean and pliable. In case of wear, if your gasket is detachable, replace the gasket. If not detachable, you have to replace the door.
