Disposal of the packing material The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and should be recycled. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children.
This appliance complies with all relevant safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property. To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before installation and before using it for the first time.
~ The appliance can only be used by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been shown how to use it in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
~ This appliance contains the coolant Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is flammable, it does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect. The use of this coolant has, however, led to a slight increase in the noise level of the appliance.
~ Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating). ~ The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when it is correctly earthed.
Correct use ~ The appliance is designed for use within certain climate ranges (ambient temperatures), and should not be used outside this range. The climate range for your appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance. Installing it in a room with too low an ambient temperature, e.
~ When cooling drinks quickly in the freezer, make sure bottles are not left in for more than one hour, otherwise they could burst, resulting in injury or damage. ~ Observe the "use-by" dates given on food to avoid the risk of food poisoning.
~ Never place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to defrost it. These can damage the plastic parts. ~ Do not use defrosting sprays or de-icers, as they might contain substances which could damage the plastic parts or which could cause a build-up of gases and pose a danger to health.
Normal energy consumption Increased energy consumption Installation site In a ventilated room. In an enclosed, unventilated room. Protected from direct sunlight. In direct sunlight. Not near to a heat source (radiator, oven). Near to a heat source (radiator, oven).
Normal energy consumption Increased energy consumption Use Drawers, shelves and racks arranged as they were when the appliance was delivered. Only open the doors when necessary and for as short a time as possible. Store food in an organised way. Frequent opening of the door for long periods will cause a loss of coldness.
Before using for the first time Protective foil The stainless steel trim to the interior shelves and the door shelves has a layer of protective foil to prevent damage during transportation. ^ Carefully remove the protective foil from the stainless steel trim.
It is very important to set the correct temperature for storing food in the appliance. Micro-organisms will cause food which is not stored at the correct temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influences the growth rate of these micro-organisms.
Temperature selection The temperature is set with the temperature selector. ^ Turn the temperature selector to a setting between 1 and 7. The higher the setting, the lower the temperature in the appliance. A middle range setting is usually sufficient.
With very low ambient temperatures at or below 18 °C the freezer compartment may not be able to maintain its temperature which could result in frozen food beginning to thaw. The winter setting is designed to prevent this happening. To activate the winter setting ^ Press the switch for the winter setting to "1".
Different storage zones Due to the natural circulation of the air in the appliance, there are different temperature zones in the refrigerator. Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest section of the appliance. Make use of the different zones when placing food in the appliance.
– Aubergines/egg plant, cucumber, potatoes, peppers/capiscum, tomatoes, courgettes/zucchini – Some hard cheeses, e.g. Parmesan When shopping for food The freshness of food when first placed in the appliance is an important factor in determining how long it stays fresh.
Unpacked meats and vegetables Unpackaged meat and vegetables should be stored separately. To avoid any microbiological cross-contamination, these foods may only be stored together if they are wrapped. Protein rich foods Please note that foods rich in protein deteriorate faster than others.
Moving the shelves The shelves in the refrigerator section can be adjusted according to the height of the food. ^ Raise the shelf, and pull it forwards slightly until the notch at the side is in line with the shelf support. It can then be raised or lowered to the required level.
Using the freezer compartment Use the freezer compartment to: – store frozen food, – make ice cubes and ice cream, – freeze small quantities of fresh food. Up to 2 kg of food can be frozen in 24 hours. Freezing fresh food Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible.
Home freezing Only freeze fresh food which is in a good condition. Hints on home freezing – The following types of food are suitable for freezing: Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish, vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy products, pastry, leftovers, egg yolks, egg whites and a range of pre-cooked meals.
^ Make a note of the contents and the date of freezing on the packaging. Approx. 24 hours before placing fresh food in the freezer compartment ^ Turn the On/Off and temperature selector to a medium to high (cold) setting (about 6). ^ Activate the winter setting function (see "Using the Winter setting").
Never re-freeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume defrosted food as soon as possible as it will lose its nutritional value and spoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked. Ice cubes ^ Fill the ice tray three quarters full with water and place it on the bottom of the freezer compartment.
Refrigerator section The refrigerator section defrosts automatically. Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the refrigerator section whilst it is in use. You do not need to remove this, as it will defrost and evaporate automatically with the warmth generated by the compressor.
To defrost Carry out the defrosting procedure as quickly as possible. The longer the food is left out at room temperature, the faster it defrosts. Do not use a steam-cleaning appliance to aid the defrosting process. Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Make sure that water cannot get into the On/Off and temperature selector dial, the light or the ventilation gaps. Do not let water get into the condensate channel and drain hole when cleaning. Do not use steam cleaning apparatus to defrost or clean the appliance.
The temperature of the dishwasher programme must not exceed 55 °C. Contact with some foodstuffs, such as carrots, tomatoes or ketchup can cause plastic items to discolour. However, this discolouration will not affect the stability of plastic items. ^ Clean the interior shelves and drawers by hand.
Metal grille (heat exchanger) and compressor at the back of the appliance The metal grille (heat exchanger) and compressor at the back of the appliance should be dusted at least once a year. A build-up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance.
Repairs to electrical appliances should only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current local and national safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.
. . . the frozen food is thawing because the freezer compartment is too warm. ^ Is the room temperature lower than the ambient temperature for which the appliance is designed? If so, increase the temperature of the room.
. . . the interior lighting in the refrigerator is not working. ^ First check whether the light contact switch is sticking or the On/Off and temperature selector is at "0". If this is not the case, then the lamp is defective. Replace the lamp as quickly as possible.
Normal noises What causes them Brrrrr... Humming noise made by the motor (compressor). This noise can get louder for brief periods when the motor is switching on. Blubb, blubb.... A gurgling noise can be heard when coolant is circulating through the pipes.
