Note: please store different foods according to the compartments or target storage temperature of your purchased products.

Important! Normally we advise that you select a setting of 2 or 3 or 4, if you want the temperature higher or lower please turn the knob to a higher or lower setting accordingly. When you turn the knob to a lower temperature it can consume more energy, while a higher temperature can be more energy-saving and therefore increase the energy efficiency.

Note: High temperature setting will accelerate food waste.

- For optimum food preservation, a medium setting is generally the most suitable.

Important! High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting (position 6 to 7) may cause the compressor to run continuously or even non-stop!

Reason: when the ambient temperature is high, the compressor must run continuously to maintain the low temperature in the appliance.

Helpful hints and tips

Energy saving tips

We recommend that you follow the tips below to save energy.

• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods in order to conserve energy.
• Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat (Direct sunlight, electric oven or cooker, etc.).
• Don't set the temperature colder than necessary.
• Don't store warm food or evaporating liquid in the appliance.
• Place the appliance in a well ventilated, dry room. Please refer to the "Installing your new appliance" chapter.
• If the diagram shows the correct combination for the drawers, crisper and shelves, do not adjust the combination as this is designed to be the most energy efficient configuration.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

• Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator or freezer, the internal temperature will increase resulting in the compressor having to work harder and will consume more energy.
• Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
• Place food so that air can circulate freely around it.

Tips for refrigeration

• Meat (all types): wrap in clingfilm and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Always follow food storage times and use by dates suggested by manufacturers.
• Cooked food, cold dishes, etc.: they should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: they should be stored in the crisper box.
• Butter and cheese: should be placed in aluminium foil or polyethylene(plastic) bags while removing as much air as possible.
• Milk bottles: should have a lid and be stored in the door shelf.

Tips for freezing

• When first starting-up or after a period out of use, let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings before putting food in the compartment.
• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible to subsequently thaw only the quantity required.
• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polyethylene food wraps which are airtight,
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch the food which is already frozen to avoid temperature rise of the latter.

kunft®

- It is recommended to label and date each frozen package in order to keep track of storage times.

Hints for the storage of frozen food

• Ensure that frozen food has been stored correctly by the food retailer.
• Once defrosted, food will deteriorate rapidly and should not be re-frozen. Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.

Switching off your appliance

If the appliance needs to be switched off for an extended period, the following steps should be taken to prevent mould growing on the appliance.

1. Remove all food.
2. Remove the power plug from the mains socket.
3. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
4. Ensure that all the doors are wedged open slightly to allow air to circulate.

2.3. Maintenance

Caution!

Before maintenance, switch off the appliance and disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.

• Do not clean the appliance with metal objects, steam cleaner, essential oils, organic solvents or abrasive cleansers.
• Do not use sharp objects to remove frost from the appliance. Use a plastic scraper.

For hygienic reasons, the appliance (including exterior and interior accessories) should be cleaned regularly at least every two months.

Caution! Danger of electrical shock! The appliance must not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Before cleaning, switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains socket.

Exterior cleaning

To maintain good appearance of your appliance, you should clean it regularly.

• Spray water onto the cleaning cloth instead of spraying directly on the surface of the appliance. This helps ensure an even distribution of moisture to the surface.
• Clean the doors, handles and cabinet surfaces with a mild detergent and then wiped dry with a soft cloth.

Caution!

Don't use sharp objects as they are likely to scratch the surface.

Don't use thinner, car detergent, Clorox, essential oil, abrasive cleansers or organic.

Interior cleaning

You should clean the appliance interior regularly. It will be easier to clean when food stocks are low. Wipe the inside of the fridge freezer with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda, and then rinse with warm water using a wrung-out sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and crisper box.

Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts.

A layer of frost may form on the freezer compartment's interior walls if the freezer door is opened frequently or kept open too long. If the frost is too thick, choose a time when the food stocks are low and proceed as follows:

1. Remove existing food and accessories, unplug the appliance from the mains power and leave the doors open.
   Ventilate the room thoroughly to accelerate the thawing process.
2. When defrosting is completed, clean your freezer as described above.

kunft®

Caution! Don't use sharp objects to remove frost from the freezer compartment. Only after the interior is completely dry should the appliance be switched back on and plugged back into the mains socket.

Door seals cleaning

Take care to keep door seals clean. Sticky food and drinks can cause seals to stick to the cabinet and tear when you open the door. Wash seal with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry it thoroughly after cleaning.

Caution! Only after the door seals are completely dry should the appliance be powered on.

Defrosting

Why defrost

- Water contained in food or transferred to the inside of the fridge by opening doors may form a frost layer inside. Thick frost will hinder refrigeration. If it is more than 10mm thick, you should defrost.

Defrosting in fresh food storage compartment

- It is automatically controlled by switching the temperature regulator on or off so that there is no need to defrost. Water from defrosting will be automatically drained into a drip tray through a drainpipe at the back of the fridge.

Defrosting in frozen-food storage compartment

• The freezer compartment is manually defrosted. Before defrosting, take the food out.
  • Take the ice tray out or put it in the fresh food compartment temporarily.
• Set the temperature regulator knob to position "0" (where the compressor will stop working) and leave the door refrigerator door open until ice and frost dissolve thoroughly and accumulate at the bottom of the freezer chamber. Wipe off the water with a soft cloth.
• To speed up the defrosting process, you may put a bowl of warm water (about 50^ ) in the freezer chamber and scrape away the ice and frost with a defrosting spatula. After doing so, be sure to set the temperature regulator knob to its original position.
• It is not advisable to heat the freezer chamber directly with hot water or a hair dryer while defrosting to avoid deformation of the inner casing.
• It is also not advisable to scrape off ice and frost or to separate food from the containers which have been congealed together with sharp tools or wooden bars, so as not to damage the inner casing or the surface of the evaporator.
