Frequently Asked Questions - LA6683DS Concept

How do I adjust the temperature on my Concept LA6683DS refrigerator?

The temperature is adjusted using the thermostat dial inside the fridge. Turn it clockwise for colder settings and counterclockwise for warmer. Typically, a medium setting is recommended for normal use.

What should I do if the refrigerator is not cooling properly?

Check if the temperature setting is correct, ensure the door is fully closed, and verify that the condenser coils are clean and free of dust. Also, allow adequate space around the fridge for ventilation.

How do I defrost the freezer compartment?

Turn off the refrigerator and remove all food. Leave the freezer door open and place towels to absorb water. Do not use sharp objects to remove frost; let it melt naturally or use a plastic scraper if needed.

Can I reverse the door opening direction?

Yes, the door is reversible. You can change the hinge side to suit your kitchen layout. Refer to the manual for detailed steps; you will need a screwdriver and possibly assistance.

Why is there water inside the refrigerator?

Water may accumulate if the defrost drain is blocked. Clean the drain hole at the back of the fridge with a pipe cleaner or similar tool. Also, ensure the refrigerator is level so water flows correctly.

How should I clean the interior?

Unplug the fridge and remove all food. Use a soft cloth with mild detergent and warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Rinse and dry thoroughly before plugging back in.

What does the climate class N-ST mean?

The climate class indicates the ambient temperature range where the fridge operates efficiently. N-ST means it works in temperatures from 16°C to 38°C. Ensure the room temperature stays within this range.

How can I reduce the noise level?

Check that the fridge is level and not touching walls or cabinets. Ensure the compressor feet are adjusted firmly. Some noise is normal, but loud rattling may indicate loose parts.

Where can I find spare parts for my Concept LA6683DS?

Contact Concept customer service or authorized service centers. You can also search online using the model number. Common parts like shelves, drawers, and door gaskets are often available.

What is the recommended temperature for the fridge and freezer?

For the fridge compartment, set between 2°C and 5°C. For the freezer, set to -18°C or lower. These temperatures keep food safe and fresh.

TIPS FOR USE

• We do not recommend putting hot food or fluids that are still evaporating inside the refrigerator. It will increase the humidity inside the refrigerator.
- Food intended for refrigerating should be wrapped or covered. It is recommended to use plastic bags, kitchen foil or food paper to wrap food. Liquids should be stored in closed containers or bottles.
- It is also not recommended to put beverages in glass bottles in the freezer, glass can easily rupture due to low temperatures inside the freezer.
- Each time you open the appliance door, a warm air gets inside. That creates an under pressure inside the appliance. It may take a few moments before the pressure gets equalised and it will be possible to open the door easily.

Please follow the instructions below to avoid degrading of stored food.

- Do not open the refrigerator door for longer than necessary, as the supply of warm air significantly increases the temperature inside the appliance.

- Clean surfaces that may be in contact with food and drainage channels regularly.

- Fresh meat and fish should be stored in a suitable place to avoid contact with other foods.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND TIPS

Freezing and storing foods in the freezer compartment

• to preserve deep frozen foods.
• to make ice cubes.
• to freeze food.

When buying frozen foods

• The packaging must not be damaged.
- Use according to the "best before date / use by date on packaging".
- If possible, transport deep-frozen foods in an insulated bag as quickly as possible and place them in the freezer.

Storage of frozen foods

Store at -18 °C or below. Do not open the door of the freezer compartment unnecessarily.

Freezing fresh foods

Freeze only fresh and undamaged foods.

To preserve the best possible nutritional value, taste and colour, vegetables should be blanched before freezing.

Aubergines, peppers, courgettes and asparagus do not require blanching.

The following foods are suitable for freezing:

Pies and pastries, fish and seafood, meat, game meat, poultry, vegetables, fruits, herbs, shell-less eggs, dairy products, such as cheese and butter, prepared meals and leftovers, such as soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, souffles and desserts.

The following foods are not suitable for freezing:

Types of vegetables that are usually consumed raw, such as lettuce or radishes, shell eggs, grapes, whole apples, pears and peaches, hard-boiled eggs, yoghurt, curdled milk, sour cream and mayonnaise.

Recommended storage times for frozen foods in the freezer compartment

These times vary depending on the type of food. Foods that you freeze can be preserved for 1 to 12 months (at least at -18°C).

Food Storage time
Bacon, milk 1 month
Bread, ice-cream, sausages, pies, pre-prepared shellfish, fatty fish 2 months
Low fat fish, crustaceans, pizza, mince pies and scones 3 months
Ham, pies, biscuits, beef and lamb chops, poultry pieces 4 months
Butter, vegetables (blanched), whole eggs and yolks, cooked crayfish, minced meat (raw), pork (raw)	6 months
Fruits (dried or as a syrup), egg whites, beef (raw), whole chicken, lamb (raw), fruit pies	12 months

Energy saving tips

When defrosting frozen foods, you can put them in the refrigeration chamber, which will help in cooling the refrigeration chamber.

Make sure that the temperature sensor is not covered or blocked by foods and place the foods at a sufficient distance from it.

Storage of foods

Your appliance is equipped with the accessories as shown in the picture above. These instructions will help you to correctly store food. The glass shelves can be removed if necessary.

Dairy foods and eggs

Most packaged dairy foods have a "best before date / use by date on packaging".

Store them in the refrigerator compartment and use them within the specified period.

Butter can be contaminated by strongly flavoured foods, so it is best to store it in a sealed container.

Eggs should be stored in the refrigerator compartment.

Red meat

Place the fresh red meat on a plate and cover it loosely with wax paper, plastic packaging or foil.

Store cooked and raw meat on separate plates. This will prevent contamination of the cooked product with the juices from the raw meat.

Poultry

Fresh whole poultry should be rinsed inside and out with cold running water, dried and placed on a plate. Cover it loosely with plastic packaging or foil.

Poultry cuts should also be stored in this way. Whole poultry should never be stuffed before cooking, otherwise there is a risk of food poisoning.

Fish and seafood

Whole fish and fillets should be processed on the day of purchase. It is not required to refrigerate the additional purchase on a plate loosely covered with plastic, waxed paper or foil.

If you plan to store fish overnight or longer, take special care to select very fresh fish.

Whole fish should be rinsed with cold water to remove loose scales and debris and then dried with paper towels. Place whole fish or fillets in a sealed plastic bag.

Always keep shellfish in a cool place. Consume it within 1-2 days.

Pre-cooked foods and leftovers

These should be stored in suitable containers with covers in order to prevent the food from drying out. Store for 1-2 days only. Reheat leftovers only once and only until steam begins to rise from the food.

Vegetable drawer

The vegetable drawer is the optimal place to store fresh fruits and vegetables.

Be careful not to store these fruits at temperatures below 6 °C for long periods of time: Citrus fruits, melons, pineapple, papayas, passion fruit, cucumber, peppers, tomatoes.

Undesirable changes occur at low temperatures, such as flesh softening, browning or accelerated decay.

Do not refrigerate avocados (until ripe), bananas and mangoes.
