5. Locking mechanism

Interior lighting Changing the LED: ∙ Remove the plug from the wall socket. ∙ Use a suitable tool to release the locking tab (5) and remove the lamp cover (4). ∙ Take out the defective LED and t a new one (max. 2 W, socket type E14). ∙ Replace the lamp cover. ∙ Connect the unit to the mains power. It may take 3 to 5 minutes before it switches on again. Freezer compartment door To ensure that frozen food will not de-frost prematurely, the door to the freezer compartment should be kept closed at all times. This will also prevent an undue build-up of ice and frost. Ensure, therefore, that the door is only opened briey to place food in the freezer compartment or to remove it. Freezing and storing food The temperatures inside the refrigerator cabinet and freezer compartment depend mainly on the ambient temperature, the temperature control setting and the amount of food stored. Freezer compartment: ∙ The freezer compartment is designed for deep-freezing and long-term storage of frozen food, and for making ice cubes. ∙ To ensure that nutritious elements such as vitamins are not lost, fresh food should be deep-frozen right through as quickly as possible. To that effect, the prepared food should be placed into the freezer compartments, properly spaced in one or two rows. ∙ Avoid contact with food that has already been frozen. ∙ Caution: Do not exceed the maximum freezing capacity per day. The product data sheet at the end of this manual contains details of the maximum daily freezing capacity. ∙ Set the temperature control to Max to accelerate the freezing process. After 24 hours, once the food is well frozen, the temperature control can be set back to its original position. ∙ The time required to freeze food may be shortened by dividing it into smaller portions. ∙ Suitable packaging materials for frozen food are transparent (i.e. non-coloured) plastic wrap or bags, or aluminium foil. The packaging materials should be well aired before use; check that the package is airtight before freezing the food. We strongly recommend that you label every item stored in the freezer with all relevant information such as type of food, freezing date and use-by date. ∙ Do not attempt to deep-freeze carbonated beverages, warm food or any kind of bottled liquids. ∙ Frozen food can be defrosted in the refrigerator. This way, the food is defrosted at a slower rate, retaining its taste. Furthermore, the frozen food helps to keep the temperature inside the refrigerator at its intended level.19 142 x 208 mm Use-by dates for frozen food are specied (in months) in the table below. Do not exceed these storage times. However, always observe the manufacturer’s use-by dates for the frozen food. ∙ If the unit remains switched off for an extended period (eg during a power failure), the door should be kept closed; this will help to maintain the lowest possible temperature in the cabinet. The product data sheet at the end of this manual contains detailed information of the maximum safe storage time in case of malfunction. Even a slight rise in the inside temperature will shorten the storage life of the food. Main cabinet ∙ Initially, the temperature control should be set to position

4. If the cooling effect is too strong, lower it to position

1-3; if it is insufcient, raise it to 5-7. If you notice frost on the rear wall, the most likely cause is that the door has been left open for too long, or that warm food has been placed inside the refrigerator or that the temperature control has been set too high. ∙ Liquid or strong-smelling food, or food which is likely to absorb strong odours (e.g. cheese, sh, butter), should be stored separately or in hermetically sealed containers. ∙ Warm food should be left to cool down to room temperature before being placed in the refrigerator. ∙ Always ensure that the door is properly closed and that the seal is not obstructed by food stored inside the cabinet or door. Making ice cubes A special ice-cube tray is provided for making ice cubes. Fill the tray 3/4 full with drinking water and place it in the freezer compartment. The ice cubes are easier to remove from the tray if the tray is left standing at room temperature for 5 minutes. De-frosting and cleaning ∙ Always remove the plug from the wall socket before cleaning. ∙ Do not pour water over or inside the unit. ∙ For frequent cleaning we recommend the use of warm water with some mild detergent. To prevent any unpleasant odour within the refrigerator, it should be cleaned about once a month. ∙ Any accessories should be cleaned separately with soapy water. Do not put them in a dishwasher. ∙ Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions or any cleaning agents that contain alcohol. ∙ After cleaning, thoroughly clean all surfaces with fresh water before wiping them completely dry. When re- inserting the plug into the wall socket ensure that you have dry hands. ∙ To save energy and to ensure optimum performance, the condenser (at the rear) as well as the compressor should be cleaned at least twice a year with a broom or a vacuum cleaner. ∙ Take care not to remove or damage the rating plate inside the cabinet during cleaning. When de-frosting the freezer compartment Once the build-up of ice inside the freezer compartment has reached a thickness of 2-4 mm, it needs to be de- frosted. This should be done at least twice a year. ∙ Ensure that the plug has been removed from the wall socket. ∙ Remove all food from the compartment and store it in a cool location, eg together with pre-frozen freezer-packs in a closed plastic container. Note that, even with a slight increase in temperature, the storage life will be shortened and the food should be used as soon as possible. ∙ Keep the door open. To accelerate defrosting, one or several containers with hot (but not boiling) water may be placed inside the freezer compartment. ∙ Warning: do not use any external device or other means (e.g. heaters or heating fans) to accelerate de- frosting. ∙ After cleaning, ensure that the freezer compartment is thoroughly dried and set the temperature control to its maximum position. After 24 hours, it may turned back to its normal setting.20 142 x 208 mm Defrosting the refrigerator cabinet : The integral vapouriser is sealed in foam in the rear wall; you may therefore notice a build-up of frost around the rear area. This layer of frost will start melting when the compressor is not working. Through a system of hoses, the melt-water drains into the collection tray below the compressor, where it will be absorbed into the surrounding air. The unit does not therefore require de-frosting, but only proper cleaning instead. ∙ To enable the melt-water to drain freely, always ensure that the channel and discharge opening in the cabinet are free of any blockage. Energy saving tips ∙ The appliance should be set up in a well-ventilated, dry room. ∙ Do not expose the appliance to direct sunlight, and do not position it next to any heat sources (radiators, cookers etc.). If this cannot be avoided, however, suitable insulation must be installed between the heat source and the unit. ∙ Do not cover the ventilation openings and grilles, and ensure sufcient air circulation behind the unit. ∙ The compressor (at the rear) should be cleaned at regular intervals. Accumulated dust causes an increase in energy consumption. ∙ Warm food should be allowed to cool down before it is stored inside. ∙ To prevent an increased build-up of ice, do not leave the doors of the unit open for too long when loading or taking out food. ∙ Frequent de-frosting helps to save energy. For detailed information on cleaning the appliance, please refer to the section De-frosting and cleaning. ∙ Do not set a lower-than-necessary temperature. For detailed information on the temperature settings, please refer to the section Temperature control. Trouble-shooting Certain typical sounds can be heard when the appliance is switched on. These sounds are: ∙ caused by the electrical motor within the compressor assembly; during compressor start-up the sound level will be slightly higher for a limited period of time. ∙ caused by the cooling agent owing through the circuit. The following table lists possible malfunctions and their probable causes and solutions. In the event of operational problems, check rst whether a solution can be found using this table. If the problem persists, disconnect the appliance from the mains power and contact our Customer Service Department. Problem Possible cause and solution The appliance is not working at all. ∙ There is a power failure ∙ The main fuse has blown. ∙ The temperature control is set to ‘0‘. ∙ The fuse in the wall socket (if applicable) has blown. This can be checked by connecting another electrical device to the socket and checking for function. The temperature inside the freezer compartment is not low enough. ∙ Too much food has been stored in the appliance. ∙ The doors are not properly closed. ∙ There is too much dust on the condenser. ∙ Insufcient ventilation: the unit is too close to a wall or other structure or object. ∙ The temperature control is set too low. The normal operating sound changes or becomes louder. ∙ Check for proper positioning (uneven oor?). ∙ Are any adjacent objects affected by the running of the cooling unit (i.e. causing them to vibrate?) ∙ Are there any objects on top of the unit which might be vibrating? Water is collecting on the bottom of the unit. The melt-water drain system is blocked. Remove the blockage and clean the system.21 142 x 208 mm Transporting the appliance To prevent damage to the unit during transport, ensure that all accessories and components inside and around the appliance are securely fastened. The unit must only be transported in its vertical position; do not tilt any more than 30°. Once the unit has been positioned, wait for about 30 minutes before it is connected to the mains. If the unit has been tilted more than 30° during transport, allow it to stand in an upright position for at least 4 hours before it is connected to the mains.
