ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

The appliance is energy-efficient. Save even more energy when using the appliance with the following tips, and how to dispose of your appliance in an environmentally-friendly way.

Saving energy

• A high ambient temperature will have a negative effect on the energy consumption. Direct sunlight and other heat sources near the appliance also have a negative effect.
• Keep ventilation holes free. Covered and dirty holes cause a higher energy consumption. Ensure sufficient space around the appliance, so that a proper ventilation and air flow around the appliance is possible.
• Do not open the doors of the appliance more often than necessary and leave the doors open as briefly as possible.
  • The distance between the shelves and the rear wall ensures a free air circulation. Do not place food against the rear wall.
• Allow cooked food that you want to store in the appliance to cool down to room temperature before placing it in the appliance.
• A door rubber that does not close properly could increase the energy consumption.
• If the instructions are not observed, this could lead to a higher energy consumption.

Environmentally-friendly disposal

Recycling - WEEE

• Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.
• This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic equipment - WEEE). The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the EU.

3 before the first use

Before using the appliance for the first time, you should proceed as follows: carefully unpack the appliance and remove all packaging material and any promotional stickers. Keep the packaging (plastic bags, polystyrene and cardboard) out of the reach of children. After unpacking the appliance, check it for external damage that may have occurred during transport. Place the appliance on a sturdy, flat surface and make sure there is enough space all around for sufficient ventilation. A minimum space of 10 cm is required between the appliance and the surrounding walls. In this way the appliance is able to release heat properly, cool well and function in an energy efficient way. You can use the adjustable feet to level the appliance. Do not place the appliance near heat sources such as central heating or a stove. Do take note of the climate class of the appliance. When placed in a room that is too cold, the appliance will not function properly.

After placing the appliance, leave it for at least 3 hours before inserting the plug in the socket.

First clean the interior of the appliance. Use warm soapy water with, for instance, washing-up liquid, all-purpose cleaner or soda. Wipe the inside of the appliance after cleaning with clean water and properly wipe everything dry. Leave the appliance to dry for 1 to 2 hours.

4 usage

The control unit of the appliance is located on the inside. Check that the voltage corresponds with what is stated on the information plate and insert the plug in the socket.

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE OF THE COOLER SECTION

The thermostat of the cooler section is located on the inside of the refrigerator. Repeatedly press the temperature knob [1] to set the required temperature. There are six temperature positions.

2°C is the coldest position and the FAST COOL position ensures that the appliance cools down rapidly. If too much food is stored in the refrigerator at once, it is possible to switch on the FAST COOL function. The refrigerator makes the food as cool as possible for a period of 40 hours,

1 SET TEMPERATURE 温度 25 35 45 45 45

after which the refrigerator switches back to the pre-set temperature. By pressing 'set temperature' [1] the Fast Cool mode will be switched off in the meantime.

We recommend setting the appliance to the temperature position of 4^ C when using the appliance in a room with room temperature.

The appliance will now cool continuously until the set temperature has been reached. Allow the appliance to reach the required temperature with no food. Usually this will take 2 to 3 hours. After that, you can set the thermostat knob to the required position and fill the appliance with food.

If the ambient temperature rises, set the appliance to a lower temperature position in order to be able to guarantee the interior temperature.

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE OF THE FREEZER SECTION

The thermostat of the freezer section is located on the inside of the refrigerator, behind the vegetable drawer.

There are three positions. The COOLER (winter) position is the coldest position. Turn the thermostat knob [2] to the required position.

We recommend setting the appliance to the NORMAL position when using the appliance in a room with room temperature.

If the ambient temperature rises, turn the thermostat knob between positions NORMAL and COOL (summer) to be able to guarantee the interior temperature.

NORMAL COOL (CSUPPER) COOL DP (MIPSE) 2

Attention:

The ambient temperature, the frequency of opening the door and the position of the appliance have an effect on the temperature in the appliance. Take this into account when setting the thermostat.

• Do not place hot food in the appliance.
• You should never place hazardous, highly flammable or explosive substances such as alcohol, acetone or petrol in the appliance, because there will be a hazard of explosion.
• Carefully package meat and fish to prevent unpleasant smells.
• Leave sufficient space between the different foods, to allow the air to circulate properly.
• Do not place food against the rear wall of the appliance. The shelves have a stopper to prevent this.
• Do not leave the door open for longer than necessary.

DEFROSTING

The freezer section of this appliance is free from frost - no-frost. If used correctly, no ice will be formed.

If an ice layer is created after all, defrost the freezer section when the ice layer has reached a thickness of 3 mm. Remove all products from the freezer section. Store the frozen products on a cool location, packaged in newspapers and blankets. Remove the plug from the socket and keep the door of the cooler section closed while defrosting the freezer section.

Defrost the freezer section Defrosting can be accelerated by placing a tray with hot water in the freezer section. Do not use sharp metal objects to scrape the freezer section clean, use a plastic ice scraper.

Clean and dry the freezer section. Insert the plug in the socket and set the thermostat to the required setting. Place the frozen products back in the freezer section once it has reached the required temperature.

Warning Never remove ice with sharp objects, defrosting sprays, a hair dryer, a heater or something similar.
