Ice Pack There is an ice pack in one drawer of the freezer. Refer to the section “Prior to Initial Start–Up” concerning freezing of the ice pack. In the event of a power failure or malfunction, the ice pack will lengthen the amount of time it takes for the frozen food to defrost by several hours. The ice pack can only fulfil this task if it is placed in the uppermost drawer, at the front, above the frozen food. You can use the ice pack for cooling cold bags. Prior to Initial Start–Up 1.

Operating and indicator panel not start immediately, but does after some time. This does not mean that your appliance has a fault. After adjusting the temperature, leave the appliance to set temperature and allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilise before making further changes. 1. Turn the thermostat control knob to the desired setting with the aid of a coin. 2. The compressor starts and then runs automatically. The green pilot light illuminates.
Starting Up and Temperature Regulation 1. Turn the thermostat regulator knob (B) in the direction of “1”, a sound is on only for 2 sec. The compressor starts and then runs automatically. 2.

Freezing and Storing Frozen Food You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself. Important! • The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18°C or colder before freezing food. • Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The freezing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be frozen within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food several days in a row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4 of that on the rating plate.
2. All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods occurs. Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could stick to the food and cause skin abrasions. 3. Place the packed food in the drawers. Place food to be frozen in the appliance´s two top drawers (2) and (3) equipped with their own refrigerated shelves.
Preparation of Ice Cubes 1. Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer compartment and leave to freeze. 2. To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend the ice cube tray or hold it under running water for a few seconds. Important! Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer compartment using pointed or sharp edged objects. Use the ice scraper supplied.
4. Remove all drawers. Insert the plastic scraper in the special location to act as an extension channel and place a basin underneath to collect the defrost water. Tip: To speed up the defrosting process, place a plastic bowl with warm water in the appliance and close the door. Remove pieces of ice that have fallen before they completely defrost. 5. After defrosting, thoroughly clean the freezer compartment and interior fittings (see "Cleaning and Care" section). 6.
4. Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water. A mild solution of washing up liquid and water may also be used. 5. After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry. To guarantee a safe operation of the fridge, once a year remove the ventilation grill at the base and clean the air channels with a vacuum cleaner. 6. After everything is dry, switch to fast freeze. After running the appliance for two or three hours, it is ready again for storing frozen food.

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.
