Setting the temperature

  • When the ambient temperature is normal, a medium setting is recommended. You can set a higher or lower temperature as you wish by setting the thermostat knob.
  • Settings towards position 7, selected with the knob, correspond to lower (cooler) temperatures. The temperature in the refrigerator interior may drop below 0 °C. Settings towards position 1 correspond to higher (warmer) temperatures. Only use settings towards position 7 when a lower temperature is desired or recommended, or when the ambient temperature is lower than 16 °C.
  • A change in the ambient temperature affects the temperature in the appliance. Hence, the thermostat setting should be adjusted accordingly.

- When the thermostat knob is set to position STOP (0), the appliance will not operate (cooling system is off); however, the appliance is still powered (a light will illuminate the interior when the refrigerator door is opened).

The temperature setting for the refrigerator compartment also indirectly affects the temperature in the freezer compartment.

Defrosting the appliance

Freezer

Defrost the freezer when an approximately 3-5 millimeter layer of frost or ice has built up.

After turning off the switch of the appliance, remove the food from the freezer and protect it from defrosting.

  • Do not use any defrosting sprays as they may melt the plastic parts or harm your health.
  • Do not use a knife or any other sharp object to remove the frost, because you may damage a pipe of the cooling system.
  • As frost melts, water and ice will build up in the case and in lower portions of the compartment. Please wipe these away. In natural defrosting, it may take time for frost to melt due to surrounding temperatures.
  • Clean and dry the appliance interior.
  • Put the food back into the freezer once the inside of the appliance is sufficiently cooled.

Fridge

The refrigerator does not need defrosting because the ice on the back interior wall is thawed automatically.

Any accumulated ice will melt when the compressor unit is inactive.

Drops will flow through an opening in the refrigerator rear wall into a tray fitted above the compressor, from where they will evaporate.

If an excessive layer of ice is formed on the rear wall of refrigerator interior (3-5 mm), switch off the appliance and defrost the appliance manually.

Care and cleaning instructions (continued)

Maintenance check

• Is the mains lead damaged? - Does the mains plug get hot? - Is the mains plug firmly in the mains socket? If the mains lead is damaged, please consult an authorized service centre. DO NOT attempt to replace these items yourself.

Extended disuse

If you're not going to use the refrigerator for a long time, unplug it and clean the mains plug as described above. Then leave the doors open for 2-3 days. This lets the interior dry out properly, and prevents odour and the build up of mould. Do not switch the refrigerator on and off repeatedly. It will last longer if you leave it switched on during normal use.

Fridge

  • A gutter and opening for water from melted ice to flow through are located underneath the interior cooling panel. The gutter and opening must not become clogged. Inspect often and clean if necessary (e.g. with a plastic straw).

Freezer

- Frost or ice build-up, 3-5 mm thick, will increase power consumption. Therefore, it should be regularly removed. Do not use any sharp objects, solvents, or sprays.

If you feel that the refrigerator is not working properly, check out the following points first.

If the trouble persists, disconnect the mains plug and contact your dealer or an authorized service centre.

General

You hear unusual sounds from the refrigerator.Has the refrigerator been installed on a sturdy and level floor?Have sufficient clearances been provided around the refrigerator?Is anything vibrating on the top of the refrigerator?It's normal to hear some noises when the refrigerator starts or stops operation.
You hear a sound after the compressor has shut down.This is normal, and is often caused by refrigerant flowing back to the compressor.
You hear a sound after you have opened or closed the door.This is normal, and is due to the difference in air pressure between the inside and outside of the refrigerator.
You hear the sound of air or water flowing after you have opened the door.This is caused by refrigerant flowing the internal pipework.
The compressor is quite loud.Has the food been packed too tightly together or is the room temperature high?In cases like these, the compressor runs hard so it's normal for the compressor to be louder.
The compressor has been running for a long time.When the mains plug has been connected for the first time, the compressor runs longer than usual in order to cool down the inside of the refrigerator until the set temperatures are reached.Have the doors been opened and closed frequently? Are the doors completely shut?Have the food items been packed too tightly together or is the room temperature high?When many food items are placed in the refrigerator at one time, the compressor will need to run for a longer period.
Condensation forms on the outside of the refrigerator.Condensation may form when the humidity in the room is high and is normal.Wipe it off using a dry cloth.
The outside of the refrigerator feels hot to the touch.After the power of the refrigerator is turned on, the refrigerator may become warm until the interior of the compartment is sufficiently cooled down. The refrigerator may become warm even after the compartments have been cooled down. This is due to the operation of the heat radiation pipe equipped on the refrigerator for the purpose of preventing condensation, and is not malfunction.
Bulb replacementPANASONIC NR-BD23AB1 - Note: - 2Before replacing the light bulb, disconnect the appliance from the power supply (pull the power cord from the wall socket).Insert a screwdriver into the cover slot, lift it and remove the cover.Replace the bulb with an equivalent new bulb (same voltage and input) and replace the cover back to its position.Don't forget that the old bulb is not to be disposed with organic waste.The light bulb is a consumable item and is not covered by the warranty!Bulb lamps used in this appliance are special-purpose lamps selected for household appliance use only.They are not suitable for household room illumination.
