Frequently Asked Questions - SFES 2620 SCHNEIDER

How do I adjust the temperature of my Schneider SFES 2620 refrigerator?
Turn the temperature regulator knob to a higher number for a lower temperature. Position '0' stops the compressor. For normal use, set to middle position. In summer, use position 3; in winter, use position 1.
How do I defrost the freezer?
Set the temperature knob to '0', remove food, leave the door open until ice melts completely, then wipe dry with a soft cloth. Do not use sharp tools or hot water to speed up defrosting.
What should I do if the refrigerator is not cooling?
Check the power supply: ensure plug is inserted, fuse is not blown, and voltage matches 220-240V. Also check if the thermostat is set correctly and the door is closed tightly.
How do I clean the refrigerator?
Unplug the unit. Use a damp cloth with neutral detergent for interior and exterior. Do not use abrasive or acidic cleaners. Clean door seals with clean water only. Clean the compressor annually with a brush.
Can I store hot food in the refrigerator?
No, you must cool hot food to room temperature before placing it inside to avoid raising the internal temperature and overworking the compressor.
Why is there water on the floor after defrosting?
The drain hole may be blocked. Clean it with a soft wooden bar. Also ensure the drain pan is properly positioned at the back of the refrigerator.
How do I replace the interior light bulb?
Use a 10W/220-240V lamp. Unplug the refrigerator before replacement. Remove the old bulb and install the new one. If unsure, contact a service agent.
Why does the refrigerator make a bubbling noise?
This is normal. It is caused by the refrigerant flowing through the cooling pipes, especially during startup or shutdown. It does not indicate a problem.

IMPORTANT: IMPORTANT:

√ When buying ready-frozen food, the following precautions should be observed:

o Check that the packaging is intact.
o Make sure that the products have not exceeded their expiry date.
Check that the freezer where the food is being bought is set at or below - 18°C.
Once bought frozen foods should be exposed to as little heat as possible and should be placed in the home freezer as quickly as possible.

√ Before putting hot food or hot beverage into the chamber, it must be cooled according to indoor temperature.
Before freezing pack the food in tightly sealed containers or bags so that it does not lose its taste, color or nutritional value and so that it does not dry out.
√ The following are suitable packing materials: polyethylene bags, aluminum foil and freezing-proof container. All of these materials are available at department stores or stores that specialize in this line of business.
√ The following are unsuitable packing materials: wrapping paper, vellum paper, cellophane, rubbish bags and shopping bags.
√ If possible, eliminate the air from the packing container.
Before placing wrapped food in the freezer mark the date that the food is being placed in the freezer and also mark the contents. All types of food can be stored frozen, before it starts to deteriorate.
When a power cut occurs, the doors of the refrigerator should not be open if possible. Avoid putting new food into the cooler or freezer as this will cause the temperature to rise at a faster rate.
Do not handle frozen food, nor take them directly from the freezer with wet hands, as wet hands adhere to frozen food.

ICE TRAY:

Fill the ice-tray three quarters full of water and place it in the freezer. Ice cubes can be easily removed from the ice-tray by slightly twisting it.

Note: Use cool boiled water to make ice cubes.

Don't bend ice tray so as not to break the tray.

Don't make cubic with other container lest damage it.

The following food is suitable for storage in the cooler: eggs, butter, cheese, milk, bottled drinks, timed food, glazed fruit, fresh sauce, bread, cooked food, meat, fish, fruit and vegetables, etc.

When storing food in the refrigerator, the following instructions are to be observed:

√ Seal or well cover food before placing it in the refrigerator. This will prevent it from drying out and will keep it fresh for longer time, help it retain its color, nutrition and flavors. Sealing or well covering all of the food in the refrigerator will prevent cross tasting and being air-dried.
√ Wash and dry vegetables and fruit, etc. before storage.
√ Allow food to cool before placing it in the refrigerator.
√ The top of cooler has lowest temperature and it is the area where food is cooled down faster.
√ Fruit and vegetables should be placed in the vegetable basket.
√ Keep a space between all of the foods to allow for good ventilation and an even temperature.
√ Avoid butter and cooking oil contacting with the plastic parts inside the cooler and with the inner liner.
√ Drinks should be tightly sealed and bottles placed upright.
√ Only open the cooler door for a minimum amount of time to prevent cold air leakage.
