Frequently Asked Questions - LFC60W16 Logik

What is the optimal temperature setting for the refrigerator and freezer?

The recommended refrigerator temperature is between 3°C and 5°C, and the freezer should be set to -18°C. Use the thermostat dial to adjust accordingly.

How do I reverse the door opening direction?

Door reversal is possible. Refer to the user manual for step-by-step instructions. Typically, you need to unscrew hinges, swap door handles, and reattach hinges on the opposite side. Ensure you have a screwdriver and possibly a helper.

How often should I defrost the freezer?

Defrost the freezer when ice buildup reaches about 5mm thickness. This typically happens every few months. Turn off the appliance, remove food, and let ice melt. Do not use sharp objects to remove ice.

Why is my fridge making a loud noise?

Normal operating sounds include clicking, hums, and occasional gurgling. If the noise is excessive, check if the fridge is level, ensure there is clearance around the unit, and verify that nothing is vibrating against the back or sides.

How do I clean the refrigerator?

Unplug the fridge and remove all food. Wash interior surfaces with mild soap and warm water, then rinse and dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Clean the condenser coils (rear or bottom) every 6 months with a brush or vacuum to maintain efficiency.

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

Check that the thermostat is set correctly, ensure the door seals are clean and tight, and make sure the condenser coils are clean. Also, avoid overloading the fridge and allow at least 24 hours after initial setup for temperature stabilization.

Can I store hot food in the refrigerator?

Let hot food cool to room temperature before placing it in the fridge. Placing hot food can raise the internal temperature and cause other items to spoil. Use shallow containers to speed cooling.

How do I replace the interior light bulb?

Unplug the fridge. Remove the light cover (usually by pressing tabs or unscrewing). Replace the bulb with an identical LED module (if LED) or incandescent bulb as specified in the manual. Do not exceed the rated wattage.

What does the 'Climate Class' mean?

The climate class indicates the ambient temperature range in which the fridge operates efficiently. For N-ST, the range is 16°C to 38°C. Operating outside this range may affect performance.

How can I save energy with this refrigerator?

Place the fridge away from heat sources, keep doors closed, and avoid frequent openings. Let hot food cool before storing. Regularly defrost and clean the coils. Set temperature to the recommended levels.

Switching On Your Unit

• Connect the mains cable to the mains socket.
• The internal temperature of your fridge compartment is controlled by the Fridge Thermostat Control while the internal temperature of the freezer compartment is controlled by the Freezer Control (located behind the Salad Bin).
• The unit may not operate at the correct temperature if it is in a particularly hot or a particularly cold room, or if you open the doors often.
• To ensure that the unit is cool enough to sufficiently chill and freeze your food, wait 24 hours before filling it with food.

- If you are concerned that your unit is not being kept cold enough and wish to check the temperature, you will need a special fridge/freezer thermometer. These are available from most supermarkets and hardware shops. Place the thermometer in the centre of either

the fridge or freezer compartment and leave overnight. The correct temperature for the fridge compartment should be an average of 5^ C. The correct temperature for the freezer compartment should be -18^ C or lower.

Adjusting the Temperature

- Adjusting the temperature in the fridge compartment

There are six settings, of which position 2c is the coldest and position FAST COOL turns the unit cold rapidly.

Press SET TEMPERATURE repeatedly to the desired position. Position 4c is the recommended setting when operating at normal room temperature.

The recommended position is between 6c to 8c for colder working environments and between 2c to 4c for hotter environments. Please adjust according to the environment.

- Adjusting the temperature in the freezer compartment

There are three settings, of which position COLDER is the coldest.

Turn the control dial to the desired position. Position NORMAL is the recommended setting when operating at normal room temperature.

The recommended position is between NORMAL and COLD for colder working environments and between NORMAL and COLDEST for hotter environments. Please adjust according to the environment.

Noises Inside the Unit!

You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal, but you should be aware of them!

These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of your unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.

Tips for Keeping Food in the Unit

• Cooked meats/fishes should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/fishes to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/fishes in a container which is large enough to collect juices and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf.
• Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the unit. Ensure all parts of the unit are kept cool.
• To prevent transfer of flavours and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and vegetables do not need to be wrapped.
• Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put in the unit. This will help to maintain the internal temperature of the unit.
• To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of times you open the door. We recommend that you only open the door when you need to put food in or take food out.

Preparations for Freezing

• Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. Freeze food in small quantities as it freezes faster, takes less time to defrost and enables you to control the quantity you need better.
• Leave cooked food to cool completely. Chill food before freezing if possible.
• Consider how you will want to cook the food before freezing it.
• Don't freeze food in metal containers if you may want to microwave it straight from the freezer.
• Use special freezer bags, freezer film, polythene bags, plastic containers, and aluminium foil (heavy duty grade only). If in doubt, double wrap your food. Don't use aluminium foil for acidic foods, e.g. citrus fruits. Don't use thin cling film, glass, or used food containers without cleaning.
• Exclude as much air from the container as possible. You could buy a special vacuum pump which sucks excessive air out of the packaging.
• Leave a small amount of air space when freezing liquids to allow expansion.
• You can use the space in the freezer most efficiently if you freeze liquids (or solids with liquids, e.g. stew) in square blocks. This is known as "Preforming". Pour the liquid into a polythene bag which is inside a square sided container. Freeze it, and then remove it from the container and seal the bag.
• Label your frozen foods as they will look the same when in frozen state.

Use special freezer tapes, labels and pens with different colours. This allows you to easily organise and to effectively use the freezer. Write the contents

Line drawing of a hand pouring liquid into a container (no text or symbols)

and date; otherwise the frozen food might exceed the storage time and this could cause food poisoning. Please refer to your food packaging for the recommended storage time.

- You may also add the weight and cooking notes, e.g. "defrost first", "cook from frozen" and keep a separate log of what is in each drawer. This will save opening the door and searching around unnecessarily.

Defrosting Frozen Food

1. Take the frozen food out from the unit and uncover the frozen food. Let it defrost at room temperature. Don't forget that defrosting in a warm area encourages the growth of bacteria and low temperature cooking may not destroy dangerous bacteria.
2. Drain off and throw away any liquid lost during defrosting.
3. Always make sure there are no ice-crystals in the food before cooking, particularly with meat. These crystals indicate that the food has not fully defrosted.
4. Cook food as soon as possible after defrosting.
5. Many microwaves and ovens have a defrost setting. To avoid bacterial build up, only use these if you intend to cook the food immediately afterwards.

Never re-freeze anything that has been defrosted unless you cook it again, to kill off harmful bacteria. Never re-freeze defrosted shellfish. Re-seal packs properly after removing items. This prevents drying or freezer-burn and a build up of frost on any remaining food.

Defrosting

The freezer compartment of this unit is frost-free. With proper use, there should not be any frost accumulated.

However, in case of improper use of the freezer compartment, frost might build up in the freezer compartment after the unit has been used for a period of time. Scrape away the frost using a plastic scraper (not included).

Do not use a metal or sharp instrument to scrape away the frost, nor should you use any electrical appliances to aid defrosting.

We recommend that defrosting should be carried out when the frost layer builds up to 3mm. Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low, follow these procedures:

1. Take out the food, turn the unit off at the mains supply and leave the door open. Ideally, the frozen food should be put into another freezer. If this is not possible, wrap the food in several sheets of newspaper or large towels and then a thick rug or blanket to keep it cool.
2. Place a dry towel on the edge of the compartment shelf. Scrape away the frost using a plastic scraper. Defrosting the remaining frost can be speeded up by placing a bowl of hot water inside the freezer compartment and closing the door. As the solid frost loosens, scrape it away with the plastic scraper.
3. When defrosting is complete, clean your unit's interior and exterior.

Cleaning the Interior and the Exterior of the Unit

• Remove all the shelves and drawers.
• Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda and then rinse with warm water using a sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and drawers.
• Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior, and then wipe with a standard furniture polish. Make sure that the door is closed to avoid the polish getting on the magnetic door seal or inside the unit.
• The grille of the condenser at the back of the unit and the adjacent components can be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.

Changing the Internal Light

The internal light is an LED light. It cannot be changed by the user; please contact your service agent.

Care When Handling / Moving the Unit

Hold the unit around its sides or base when moving it.

Servicing

The unit should be serviced by an authorised engineer and only genuine spare parts should be used. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the unit yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunction. Contact a qualified technician.

Switching Off for Long Periods of Time

When the unit is not in use for a long period of time, disconnect it from the mains supply, empty all food and clean the unit, leaving the door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.

Condensation

Condensation may appear on the outside of the unit. This may be due to a change in room temperature. Wipe off any moisture residue. If the problem continues, please contact a qualified technician for assistance.

Disposal

Old units still have some residual value. An environmentally friendly method of disposal will ensure that valuable raw materials can be recovered and used again. The refrigerant used in the unit and insulation materials require special disposal procedures. Ensure that none of the pipes on the back of the unit are damaged prior to disposal.

Up to date information concerning options of disposing of your old unit and packaging from the new one can be obtained from your local council office.

When disposing of an old unit break off any old locks or latches and remove the doors as a safeguard.
