Frequently Asked Questions - BFFWX60185W BUSH

How do I adjust the temperature?

Use the temperature dial located inside the fridge compartment. Turn it to a higher number for colder temperature and lower for less cold. Recommended setting is 3-4.

Why is my fridge making strange noises?

Common noises include humming from the compressor, gurgling from the coolant, and clicking from the thermostat. These are normal. If the noise is loud or irregular, check that the fridge is level and not touching the wall.

How often should I defrost the freezer?

This model requires manual defrost for the freezer. Defrost when ice thickness reaches 5-10 mm to maintain efficiency. Use the provided ice scraper or let the ice melt naturally.

What is the correct way to clean the fridge?

Unplug the fridge and remove all food. Clean interior with a mild detergent and warm water. Wipe dry and avoid abrasive cleaners. Clean the rear grille every 6 months to ensure proper ventilation.

The door doesn't seal properly. What should I do?

Check for debris on the gasket. Clean it with soapy water. If the gasket is damaged, it needs replacement. Ensure the fridge is level so the door closes correctly.

How do I change the interior light bulb?

This model uses an LED light that is not user-replaceable. If the light fails, contact Bush customer service for assistance.

What does the energy class E mean?

Energy class E indicates medium energy consumption. On a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), E is above average but not the most efficient. It still meets EU standards.

Can I reverse the door swing?

Yes, the door hinges can be reversed. Refer to the user manual for step-by-step instructions. You will need a screwdriver and assistance to hold the door.

Why is water pooling inside the fridge?

Check if the drain hole is blocked. Clear it with a soft brush or pipe cleaner. Also ensure the door is closed properly to prevent condensation.

My fridge is not cooling enough. What could be wrong?

First, check the thermostat setting. Ensure the door seals are intact and the condenser coils at the back are clean. Allow at least 24 hours for temperature to stabilize after loading food. If problem persists, contact service.

Simple everyday use

Information on No-Frost Technology

No-frost refrigerators differ from other static refrigerators in the way they work. In static fridges, the humidity entering the fridge due to door openings and the humidity inherent in food causes freezing in the freezer compartment. To defrost the frost and ice in the freezer compartment, you are periodically required to turn off the appliance, place the food that needs to be kept frozen in a separately cooled container, and remove the ice gathered in the freezer compartment.

It is completely different in no-frost fridges. Dry and cold air is blown into the fridge and freezer compartments continuously and evenly from several points via a blower fan. Cold air dispersed continuously and evenly between the shelves cools all of your food equally and uniformly, thus preventing humidity and freezing.

Therefore your no-frost fridge allows you ease of use, in addition to its huge capacity and stylish appearance.

Arranging Food in the Appliance

Fridge Compartment

• To prevent humidity and odor forming, the food should be placed in the refrigerator in closed or covered containers.
• Hot foods and drinks should be cooled to room temperatures before being placed in the refrigerator.
• Please do not place packaged food and containers against the lamp or cover of the cooling compartment.
• Fruits and vegetables may be placed directly in the vegetable holder without being wrapped separately.
• Some recommendations have been specified below for the placement and storage of your food in the cooling compartment.

NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator. Meat should never be refrozen after it is thawed.

Freezer compartment

• Use the deep freeze compartment of your refrigerator for storing the frozen food for a long time and for producing ice.
• To get maximum capacity from your freezer compartment, please just use the glass shelves for upper and middle section. For bottom section, please use lower basket.
• Place the food you would like to freeze initially in the upper shelf of the deep freeze section. You may place your food next to the other frozen foods after they are frozen (for at least 24 hours).
• It is recommended to keep thermostat set at level 5.
• It is recommended that the food which is being newly frozen be kept separate from the already frozen food.
• Do not refreeze the frozen food once it is thawed. It may pose a danger to your health
• Do not place hot meals in your deep freeze until they cool down. You could cause the

other food frozen beforehand in the deep freeze compartment to become spoiled.

• As you buy frozen food, make sure it was frozen under appropriate conditions and that the packaging is not torn.
• While storing frozen food, the storage conditions on the package should be observed. If there are no instructions, the food has to be consumed in the shortest period of time.
• Frozen food has to be transported before it thaws and it should be placed in the fast freezing shelf as soon as possible. Please do not use the baskets for fast freezing purposes.
• The storage durations of frozen food depend on the environmental temperatures, the frequent opening and closing of the doors, temperature settings, food types, and the period of time that has elapsed from when the food was acquired to the time it entered the freezer. Always abide by the instructions on the package and never exceed the storage duration.
• During power cuts, please do not open the door of the deep freeze compartment. Your refrigerator will preserve your frozen food in the ambient temperature of 25 °C for about 13 hours. This preservation time period decreases the higher the ambient temperatures are. During extended power cuts, you should not refreeze your food and should be disposed of accordingly.

Note:

• Frozen foods, when thawed, should be cooked just like fresh foods. Once food is thawed, it must NEVER be re-frozen.
• Food in liquid form should be frozen in suitable plastic sealed containers. Other food types can also be frozen in suitable plastic sealed containers or alternatively freezer bags.

Important note:

- Frozen foods, when thawed, should be cooked just like fresh foods. If they are not cooked after being thawed they must NEVER

Using your Combi Fridge-Freezer

Getting the most from your appliance

be re-frozen.

• The taste of some spices found in cooked dishes (anise, basilica, watercress, vinegar, assorted spices, ginger, garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.) changes and they assume a strong taste when they are stored for a long period. Therefore, the frozen food should be added little amount of spices or the desired spice should be added after the food has been thawed.
• The storage period of food is dependent on the oil used. The suitable oils are margarine, olive oil and butter and the unsuitable oils are peanut oil and lard oil..
• The food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and the other food should be frozen in plastic folios or bags.

Tips for Saving Energy

1. Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight or near heat sources (radiators, cooker, etc....).
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance.
3. When thawing frozen food, place it in the refrigerator compartment. The frozen food will help to cool the refrigerator compartment when it is thawing.
4. When placing liquids in the appliance they must be covered.
5. When placing food and drinks, open the appliance door as briefly as possible.
6. Keep closed the covers of any different temperature compartments in the appliance (crisper, chiller ...etc).
7. Door seals should be kept clean and undamaged.

Care and maintenance

Looking after your appliance

Cleaning

• Make sure you unplug the fridge before starting to clean it.
- Do not pour water directly over your appliance.
- You can wipe the inner and outer sides with a soft cloth or a sponge using warm soapy water.

Check Warnings;

Your fridge warns you if the temperatures for cooler and freezer are in improper levels or when a problem occurs in the appliance.

ERROR TYPE Sr
MEANING "Failure Warning"
WHY	There is/are some part(s) Out of order or there is a failure in cooling process
WHAT TO DO	Contact the Bush helpline for assistance as soon as possible.

If your fridge is not operating;

• Is there a power failure?
- Is the plug connected to the socket correctly?
- Is the fuse of the socket to which the plug is connected or the main fuse blown?
- Is there any failure at the socket? To check this, plug your refrigerator to a socket this is surely operating.

If your fridge is not cooling enough;

• Is the temperature adjustment right?
- Is the door of your fridge opened frequently and left open for a long while?
• Is the door of fridge closed properly?
- Did you put a dish or food on your fridge so that it contacts the rear wall of your fridge so as to prevent the air circulation?
• Is your fridge filled excessively?
- Is there adequate distance between your fridge and the rear and side walls?
- Is the ambient temperature within the range of values specified in the operating manual?

If the food in your refrigerator compartment is over cooled

• Is the temperature adjustment right?
- Are there many food recently put inside the freezer compartment? If so, your fridge may over cool the food inside the refrigerator compartment as it will operate longer to cool these food.

If your fridge is operating too loudly;

To maintain the set cooling level, compressor may be activated from time to time. Noises from your fridge at this time are normal and due to its function. When the required cooling level is reached, noises will be decreased automatically. If the noises persist;

• Is your appliance stable? Are the legs adjusted?
  • Is there anything behind your fridge?
• Are the shelves or dishes on the shelves vibrating? Re-place the shelves and/or dishes if this is the case.
• Are the items placed on your fridge vibrating?

Normal Noises;

Cracking (Ice cracking) Noise:

• During automatic defrosting.
- When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material).

Short cracking: Heard when the thermostat switches the compressor on/off.

Compressor noise (Normal motor noise): This noise means that the compressor operates normally Compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is activated.

Bubbling noise and splash: This noise is caused by the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system.

Water flow noise: Normal flow noise of water flowing to the evaporation container during defrosting. This noise can be heard during defrosting.

Air Blowing Noise (Normal fan noise): This noise can be heard in No-Frost fridge during normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air.

If humidity builds up inside the fridge;

• Are all food packed properly? Are the containers dried before placing them in the fridge?
• Are the fridge doors opened frequently? Humidity of the room gets in the fridge when the doors are opened. Humidity build up will be faster when you open the doors more frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high.

Product support

Help is always at hand

If the doors are not opened and closed properly;

• Do the food packages prevent closing of the door?
• Are the door compartments, shelves and drawers placed properly?
• Are door gaskets broken or torn?
  • Is your fridge on a level surface?

If the edges of fridge cabinet that the door joint contact are warm;
