Frequently Asked Questions - SGF 103 A1 SILVERCREST

How to adjust the freezer temperature?
Use the thermostat located at the back of the appliance. Positions 1 (minimum), 2.5 (intermediate), and 3 (maximum) allow adjusting the freezing power. For long-term storage, set to 3 then return to 2.5 after 6 hours. The ideal temperature is -18 °C.
What to do in case of a power outage?
The autonomy is 11 hours. Avoid opening the door. Check the condition of the food by sight and smell. Never refreeze thawed food. When in doubt, throw it away.
How to reverse the door opening direction?
Unplug the appliance, remove the drawers and shelves, tilt the freezer on its back. Loosen the lower and upper hinges, move the tenons and sockets to the other side, then reassemble. The seal will adapt after a few hours. A flathead and Phillips screwdriver are needed.
Why is my freezer making noise?
Cracking, humming, or gurgling sounds are normal, due to material expansion or the compressor. If the noise is excessive, check that the appliance is level on its feet and not touching a piece of furniture.
How to defrost the freezer?
Turn off the appliance and unplug it. Place the food in a cool place wrapped in newspaper. After about 30 minutes, use the provided ice scraper to remove the frost. Never use sharp objects or artificial heat. Then clean with warm water and dry.
Which foods not to freeze?
Avoid raw vegetables (salads), carbonated drinks (risk of explosion), glass or metal containers filled with liquid. Foods should be wrapped in polyethylene film or airtight aluminum foil.
How to clean the appliance?
Unplug it. Clean the interior with warm water and a mild dish soap. To prevent mold, add a little vinegar. The drawers and shelves are dishwasher-safe. Clean the rear fins once or twice a year with a vacuum cleaner. Do not touch frozen surfaces with bare hands.
What is the annual electricity consumption?
The annual consumption is 170 kWh (class E). To save energy, install the appliance away from heat sources, allow air circulation around it (minimum distances: 15 cm from the ceiling, 5 cm on the sides), and open the door briefly.
Can I install the freezer in an unheated garage?
The climate class T/SN allows an ambient temperature of 10 °C to 43 °C. Below 10 °C, the compressor may rarely start and freezing may be insufficient. A heated or insulated garage is preferable.

1Lowest level of cooling (warmest)Short-term storage of frozen products
2Intermediate position Medium-term storage of frozen products
3Highest level of cooling (coldest)Long-term storage of frozen products

Before storing fresh foods, set the temperature control (1) to position 3.

SILVERCREST SGF 103 A1 - Operating the appliance - 1

The internal temperatures can be influenced by factors such as the installation location, ambient temperature and the number of times the door is opened. Take these factors into account when setting the temperature control.

SILVERCREST SGF 103 A1 - Operating the appliance - 2

Audible noises such as cracking, humming or gurgling are caused by the expansion and shrinkage of the components as a result of the temperature changes or by the compressor working and do not indicate a malfunction.

SILVERCREST

  • Check the temperatures in the freezer compartment with a thermometer. The ideal temperature in the freezer compartment is -18^ . Once this temperature is reached, you can load it with food and set the temperature control (1) back to 2.5.

Once the appliance has been switched on for the first time, it takes approx. 24 hours for the appliance to cool down to this temperature.

11.1. Switching off the appliance

To de-energise the appliance, briefly turn the temperature control (1) past position 1 to position . You will hear a click. Then pull the mains plug (8) out of the mains socket.

Wait approx. 10 minutes before switching on the appliance again.

11.2. Tips on saving energy

In order to achieve the best possible cooling performance with low energy consumption, observe the following:

Do not position the appliance near a heat source (radiator or cooker etc.).
The location should be not too warm, dry, dust-free and well ventilated.
Ensure that air can circulate freely around the refrigerating appliance.
The energy consumption will be lowest if all freezer drawers (9) are left inside the appliance when it is in use.
- If the freezer door (4) is left open for a long time, this can cause the temperature inside the compartments of the appliance to increase significantly. Only open the door briefly when loading and removing foodstuffs. Less cold can escape if the door is left open for only a short time and therefore the appliance requires less energy.
Select the temperature setting according to how full the appliance is.
Ensure that the door seals are undamaged and that the door closes properly.
If the appliance is left empty for an extended period of time, switch it off. Defrost and clean the appliance and allow it to dry. Leave the door open to prevent mould from forming in the appliance.

11.3. Deep-freezing food

SILVERCREST SGF 103 A1 - Deep-freezing food - 1

NOTICE!

Risk of damage to the appliance

Sensitive surfaces: Do not allow oil and grease to come into contact with the plastic parts and the door seal as the door seal can become porous and brittle.

  • Do not allow oil or grease to come into contact with the plastic parts.

Almost all types of food are suitable for freezing, except vegetables which are eaten raw, e.g. lettuce. Only high-quality food is suitable to be frozen. Freeze food in portions for single use and do not refreeze any products that have defrosted.

  • Set the temperature control (1) to position 6 hours before putting fresh food in the freezer. After putting fresh food in the freezer, set the temperature control (1) to position 2.5.

To avoid food from becoming contaminated, please observe the following instructions:

If the freezer door (4) is left open for a long time, this can cause the temperature inside the compartments of the appliance to increase significantly.
Regularly clean surfaces that may come into contact with food and accessible drain systems.
- Food to be frozen must not come into contact with food that has already been frozen. It may be necessary to reduce the quantity of food to be frozen if you intend to freeze food each day.
Do not exceed the storage times recommended by the food manufacturers. If no specification is given, food should not to be stored for more than three months.
To avoid cross-contamination, place the food in odourless, airtight, moisture-free, greaseproof and leach-resistant packaging.

  • Polythene bags and aluminium foil are the most suitable materials.

  • The food must be closely wrapped in airtight packaging.

  • Do not use glass packaging as the glass may break.

Take care not to overload the freezer compartment as otherwise optimal performance cannot be guaranteed and energy consumption will increase.
- Signs of moisture or swelling of deep-freeze packaging indicates that the food has not been stored/transported correctly and may be spoiled. Check the condition of food before eating.

Fruit can be frozen in the freezer compartment and ice cubes can be made.

11.4. Using ice cube trays

Clean the ice cube tray (5) thoroughly with water and a little washing-up liquid before using for the first time.
Fill the tray with drinking water.

Place the ice cube tray (5) upright in the bottom freezer drawer (9).
As soon as the ice cubes are frozen, remove the ice cube tray (5) from the freezer drawer (9) and press the ice cubes out of the mould.

11.5. Defrosting food

Depending on the type and use, food can be defrosted in a refrigerator, in a container filled with lukewarm water, in a microwave, at room temperature or in the oven. Fruit and vegetables which are going to be cooked do not need to be defrosted.

Once defrosted, food is preferably to be eaten on the same day or stored in the refrigerator until the next day at the latest. Food must not be refrozen, even if it has not fully defrosted.

12. Cleaning and defrosting

Regularly clean surfaces that may come into contact with food.
