To allow the oil to flow back into the compressor, wait approximately 1 hour before placing the appliance in operation. Starting up and temperature regulation the plug into the plug socket.
Goods to be refrigerated can be loaded immediately after switching on, because the storage temperature in the refrigerator is quickly reached. In the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment the temperature is controlled automatically. It stays constantly at about 0°C, no adjustment is necessary. Note: The refrigerator compartment is fitted with a fan. This quickly cools food stuffs and ensures optimal distribution of the temperature between the fridge and the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment.
FROSTMATIC Button The FROSTMATIC function accelerates the freezing of fresh food and, at the same time, protects foodstuffs already stored from undesirable warming. FROSTMATIC function is switched on by pressing the FROSTMATIC ☞1. The button. The yellow light illuminates. If the FROSTMATIC function is not ended manually, the appliance electronics switch off the FROSTMATIC function after 52 hours. The yellow light goes out. 2.
Interior Accessories Storage shelves On the bottom of the refrigerator compartment, just above the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment, you can easy place can and bottles in horizontal position. The structure of this area will prevent the bottles and cans from moving around. The height of the storage shelves can be adjusted: 1. To do this pull the storage shelf forward until it can be swivelled upwards or downwards and removed. 2. Please do the same in reverse to insert the shelf at a different height.
LONGFRESH 0°C compartment In the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment the temperature is controlled automatically. It stays constantly at about 0°C, no adjustment is necessary. The constant storage temperature of about 0°C and the relative humidity of between 45 and 90 % provide optimal conditions for the various kinds of food. You can therefore store a variety of fresh food in the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment, where it will last up to 3 times longer with better quality compared to normal refrigerator compartments.
Drawers In this drawer the humidity is not adjustable The wire shelves inside the drawers permit that air can circulate freely and consequently a better conservation of foods. Correct storage The refrigerator compartment is fitted with a fan. This quickly cools food stuffs and ensures optimal distribution of the temperature between the fridge and the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment.
Correct Storage • Foods, and especially salad, must be kept well covered or packaged in such a way that they do not dry out and that their flavours and fragrances remain unchanged. The following are suited for packaging: – Polyethylene airtight bags and wraps; – Plastic containers with lids; – Special plastic covers with elastic; – aluminium foil. • High-proof spirits should only be conserved tightly closed and in a vertical position. • Do not keep explosive or flammable materials in the refrigerator.

Noises during Operation The following noises are characteristic of refrigeration appliances: • Clicks Whenever the compressor switches on or off, a click can be heard. • Humming As soon as the compressor is in operation, you can hear it humming. • Bubbling/Splashing When refrigerant flows into thin tubes, you can hear bubbling or splashing noises. Even after the compressor has been switched off, this noise can be heard for a short time.
Technical terminology • Refrigerant Liquids that can be used to a generate a cooling effect are known as refrigerants. They have a relatively low boiling-point, indeed so low, that the warmth from the food stored in the fridge or freezer can cause the refrigerant to boil and vaporise. • Refrigerant Circuit Closed circulation system that contains the refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit comprises primarily of an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser and pipe work.
