Frequently Asked Questions - CERA612APPB CONTINENTAL EDISON

How to adjust the temperature of the refrigerator and freezer?

Use the Fridge and Freezer buttons on the control panel to scroll through temperatures. By default, the refrigerator is at 5°C (range 0°C to 6°C) and the freezer at -18°C (range -15°C to -23°C).

How to activate Super Freezer mode?

Press the Feature button until Super Freezer mode is selected (corresponding icon). The compressor runs continuously to freeze quickly. It stops automatically after 24h or when -28°C is reached.

What to do if the door remains open?

An audible alarm sounds after 1 minute of opening. Close the door completely to stop the alarm. Check that nothing prevents closing.

How to clean the refrigerator?

Unplug the appliance before cleaning. Use a soft cloth and warm water with a neutral detergent. Do not spray water directly and do not use abrasive products. Dry thoroughly after cleaning.

How to use the water tank and ice maker?

Fill the tank with pure water up to the 2L line. For ice cubes, fill the ice tray, wait for them to form, then turn the knob to release the cubes. Use the ice bin located below.

What to do in case of a power outage?

A short outage does not affect the temperature. If it is long, avoid opening the door and do not add fresh food. Activate Super Freezer mode before a planned outage to maintain cold.

How to defrost the freezer?

This model is No Frost (automatic defrost). No manual operation is necessary. Defrosting occurs automatically.

What foods to put in the vegetable bin?

The vegetable bin is designed for fruits and vegetables. It maintains humidity to keep produce fresh longer. Wash them before storing.

How to save energy with this refrigerator?

Place the appliance away from heat sources and sunlight. Let hot foods cool before storing. Open the door less often and not for too long. Defrost food in the refrigerator to contribute to cooling.

What to do if the display does not light up?

Check that the plug is properly inserted and the household fuse is on. If the problem persists, contact a professional. Ensure the child lock is not activated (lock icon).

WARNING

Please avoid direct contact between food, especially fatty food stored in the refrigerator, and the coating. When the interior is stained with oil or soup, it should be cleaned immediately to avoid prolonged contact with the coating which could lead to corrosion and cracking of the coating.

FOOD STORAGE

WARNING

• When storing frozen food, place it inside the freezer compartment and not in the bottle rack.
• Do not place bottles or cans in the freezer compartment to avoid cracks due to frost.
• Before placing hot food in the refrigerator, first cool it to room temperature; otherwise, they increase energy consumption.
• Indicate the date of freezing on the freezer bag according to the different storage times of food to avoid exceeding the expiry date.
• Divide foods into pieces and package them separately, those that are easy to freeze and those that do not freeze together.
• The packaging materials must be odorless, airtight, watertight and non-polluting, so that the packaged food is not easily spoiled by other odors, without reducing the quality.
• Do not put too much fresh food in the freezer compartment at one time. Preferably, do not exceed the freezing capacity of the refrigerator.
• Defrosted food cannot be frozen again unless it has been processed into dishes; otherwise, their quality of service will be affected.
• Glass bottles or containers should not be placed in the freezer compartment or near the air outlet of the refrigeration compartment duct; otherwise, they can explode.
• Food should not obstruct the air outlet; otherwise there will be abnormal air circulation.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

• Be sure to keep the refrigerator away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
• Before storing hot food, cool it to room temperature, then put it in the refrigerator.
• Close the door, reduce the frequency and the opening time.
• When defrosting frozen food, you can place it in the refrigeration compartment, which will help to refrigerate the compartment.
• Assurez-vous que le capteur de température n'est pas couvert ou bloqué par des aliments et maintenez une distance correcte entre les aliments et le capteur.

INSTALLATION OF THE TEMPERATURE INDICATOR

Coldest zone:

• You will get a better preservation of your food if you place them in the cold zone best suited to their nature.
• The symbol below indicates the location of the coldest area of your refrigerator.
• This zone is delimited at the top by the low temperature compartment and at the bottom by the symbol or by the shelf positioned at the same height.
• In order to guarantee the temperatures in the coldest zone, take care not to modify the positioning of this shelf.

To help you adjust your refrigerator, it is equipped with a temperature indicator that will control the average temperature in the coldest area.

Warning:

This indicator is intended to work only with your refrigerator, be careful not to use it in another refrigerator (in fact, the colder zone is not the same), or for another use.

CHECKING THE TEMPERATURE IN THE MOST COLD AREA

Once the temperature indicator has been installed, you can check regularly that the temperature of the coldest zone is correct, and, if necessary, adjust the thermostat accordingly as indicated above.

For proper storage of food in your refrigerator and particularly in the coldest area, make sure that the temperature indicator reads "OK". If "OK" does not appear, the average temperature of the zone is too high. Set the thermostat to a higher position.

OK

Whenever you change the thermostat, wait for the temperature inside the device to stabilize before proceeding to a new setting if necessary. Do not change the position of

Thermostat gradually and wait at least 12 hours before proceeding to a new check and a possible modification.

NOTES:

After loading the appliance with fresh food or after repeated opening (or extended opening) of the door, it is normal that the word "OK" does not appear in the temperature indicator.

Wait at least 12 hours before readjusting the thermostat.

Tips - Energy Savings

Interior view of a modern stainless steel refrigerator with open doors showing empty shelves (no visible text or labels)

A - Freezer compartment
B - Refrigerator compartment

- how to arrange the drawers, bins and shelves so that the energy is used as rationally as possible by the apparatus.

- Install the unit in a cool, dry, properly ventilated room.

- Be careful not to expose the unit to direct sunlight or place it near a direct source of heat (for example, near a radiator).

- Never block the ventilation openings or grilles of the appliance.

- Allow food to cool before placing in the appliance.

- Place the frozen products in the refrigerator to thaw them.

- The low temperature of the frozen products will help cool the food in the refrigerator.

- Defrost the freezer when the ice has accumulated. A thick layer of ice can affect the transfer of cold to frozen products and increase the energy consumption of the unit.

- Do not leave the appliance doors open for too long when storing or removing food from the appliance. The ice will form all the less in the freezer as you leave the door open for as short a time as possible.

- When you freeze food or want to store it in the freezer, place it directly in the upper freezer compartment.

GENERAL INFORMATIONS

On holiday

When going on vacation, it is better to keep the refrigerator running continuously and leave food inside that can be stored for a short time. If you want to stop the refrigerator, remove all food, unplug the appliance, clean the inside of the refrigerator completely and open the door to prevent odors.

In case of power failure

• Generally, a short power outage does not have a dramatic effect on the refrigerator temperature. However, if the power outage lasts a long time, you must reduce the frequency of opening the refrigerator and you must not put fresh food in the refrigerator (avoids an acceleration of the increase of the temperature of the refrigerator).
• If you know that a power failure is going to occur, you can turn on the "Super Freezer" feature early to keep the fridge temperature low.
