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 scratching 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.
Setting the temperature The temperature is set with the On/Off and temperature selector. ^ Turn it to a setting between 1 and 7. The higher the setting, the lower the temperature in the appliance.
With very low ambient temperatures at or below 18 °C the freezer section 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 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.
Maximum freezing capacity To ensure that fresh food placed in the freezer section freezes through to the core as quickly as possible, the maximum freezing capacity must not be exceeded. The maximum freezing capacity for freezing within a 24 hour period is given on the data plate “Freezing capacity .
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.
Approx. 24 hours before placing fresh food in the freezer section ^ Turn the On/Off and temperature selector to a medium or high (cold) setting. ^ Activate the winter setting function (see "Winter setting"). This helps food that is already in the freezer section to stay frozen.
Ice cubes ^ Fill the ice tray three quarters full with water and place it at the bottom of the freezer section. ^ Once frozen, use a blunt instrument, for example a spoon handle, to remove the ice tray from the freezer section.
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.
Before defrosting ^ The day before defrosting the freezer, turn the On/Off and temperature selector to a medium to cold setting (approx. 6) and activate the winter setting (see "Winter setting") to ensure frozen food retains its cold reserve for longer when taken out of the freezer.
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 a steam cleaning appliance to defrost or clean the appliance.
^ Clean the condensate channel and drain hole frequently, so that condensate can drain away unhindered. Use a straw or similar to clear the drain if necessary. ^ After cleaning, wipe the interior and accessories with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth.
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 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. Operating in a room which is too cold will cause the cooling system to switch off for too long, causing the freezer to become too warm.
. . . 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 neither is 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.
