FOOD STORAGE IN THE APPLIANCE

Refrigerator compartment is used for storing fresh food for short periods of time.

• Do not place food in direct contact with the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment. Leave some space around food to allow circulation of air.

• Do not place hot food or evaporating liquid in the refrigerator.

• Always store food in closed containers or wrapped.

• To reduce humidity and avoid formation of frost, never place liquids in unsealed containers in the refrigerator.

• Meat of all types, wrapped in packages, is recommended to be placed on the glass shelf just above the crisper drawer, where the air is colder.

• You can put fruits and vegetables into crisper drawer without packeging.

• To avoid the cold air escaping, try not to open the door too often, and do not leave the door open for a long time.

• The thermostat automatically regulates the internal temperature of the refrigerator. By rotating the knob from position 1 to 5, colder temperatures can be obtained.

• The “ 0 “ position shows thermostat is closed and no cooling is available.

• For short-term storage of food in the refrigerator, you can set the knob between minimum and medium position (1-3).

• For long-term storage of food in the refrigerator, you can set knob medium position.(3-5)

• Note that; the ambient temperature, temperature of the freshly stored food and how often the door is opened, affects the temperature in the refrigerator. If required, change the temperature setting.

• When you first switch on the appliance, you should run it without any food for 24 hours and not open the door.

• If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting in order not to damage the compressor.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Disconnect the appliance from the mains supply before cleaning.

• Do not pour water over the appliance.

• The refrigerator should be cleaned periodically using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.

• Do not use abrasive cleaners, detergents or soaps. After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When the cleaning operations have been completed, reconnect to the mains supply with dry hands. Defrosting the Refrigerator

• Defrosting occurs automatically during operation; the defrost water is collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.

• The evaporating tray and the defrost water drain hole should be cleaned periodically along with the defrost drain plug.

• Pour ½ glass of the water into the drain hole to clean inside it. Replacing the Light Bulb When replacing the bulb of the refrigerator compartment;

1. Unplug the unit from the power supply,

2. Press the hooks on the sides of the light cover top and remove the light cover

3. Change the present light bulb with a new one of not more than 15 W with E14

4. Replace the light cover and after waiting 5 minutes plug the refrigerator into the

If your refrigerator is not working properly, it may be a minor problem, check the following. The appliance does not operate, Check if;

• There is a power failure,

• The mains plug is not properly plugged in, or is loose

• The thermostat setting is on position “0”,

• The socket is defective. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know is working into the same socket. The appliance performs poorly; Check if;

• You have overfilled the refrigerator.

• The door seal is damaged or not in contact with the refrigerator all the way around the door opening.

• There are not enough ventilation ducts on the kitchen unit, see in the Installation section. If there is noise; The cooling gas which circulates in the refrigerator circuit may make a slight noise (bubbling sound) even when the compressor is not running. Do not worry, this is quite normal. If these sounds are different check if;

• The appliance is installed as described in the Installation section.

• The objects on the appliance are vibrating. If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator; Check if; The drain hole is not clogged (use defrost drain plug to clean the drain hole). Recommendations

• In order to increase space and improve the appearance, the “cooling section” of refrigerators is positioned inside the back wall of the refrigerator compartment. When the compressor is working, this wall is covered with frost or water drops. Do not worry. This is quite normal. The appliance should be defrosted only if an excessively thick ice layer forms on the back wall.

• If the appliance is not used for a long time (for example during the summer holidays), set the thermostat knob to position “0”. Defrost and clean the refrigerator leaving the door open to prevent the formation of mildew and odors.

• The internal temperature can be effected by such factors as the installation location of the appliance, ambient temperatures and the amount of times the door is opened and how long it is left open. Also the thermostat setting.Downloaded from www.vandenborre.be UK - 23 -
