Safety The safety of our refrigerators/freezers is in accordance with recognised technological standards and appliance safety legislation. We nevertheless feel that it is important to acquaint you with the following safety guidelines: Use for Intended Purpose • The refrigerator/freezer is intended for household use. It is suited for the refrigeration, freezing and frozen storage of foods as well as the preparation of ice.
Safety • Children often do not recognise the dangers involved with household appliances. Please provide for the necessary supervision and do not allow children to play with the appliance! Daily Operation • Containers with flammable gases or fluids can develop leaks through contact with the cold. Danger of explosion! Do not store containers with flammable substances, such as aerosol cans, refill cartridges for cigarette lighters etc. in the refrigerator/freezer.
Disposal Appliance Packaging Information All materials are environmentally sound! They can be dumped or burned at an incinerating plant without danger! About the materials: The plastics can be recycled and are identified as follows: >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. the outer covering and the bags in the interior. >PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g. the pads, which are all free of chlorofluorocarbon. Disposal of old Appliances For environmental reasons, refrigeration appliances must be disposed of properly.
Remove transport safeguard The appliance as well as interior accessory parts are safeguarded for transport. Remove all tape and pads from the interior of the appliance. Installation Installation Location The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room. Energy use is affected by the ambient temperature.
The refrigerator/freezer needs air Air is fed under the door through the vent slots in the base and is exhausted upwards along the back wall. To ensure proper air circulation never cover or alter the vent openings. Attention! If the appliance is installed under, for example, a hanging cabinet, a clearance of at least 5 cm between the top of the appliance and the cabinet above it must be maintained. Appliance Alignment The appliance must have a solid, level footing.
Changing the opening direction of the doors Before carrying out any operations, remove the plug from the power socket. To change the opening direction of the door, proceed as follows: 1. Remove the upper hinge and the upper support taking care for the upper door not to fall off ; 2. remove the upper door; 3. unscrew the middle hinge. Unscrew the plastic plugs located on the opposite side of the central hinge and introduce them in the holes occupied before by the hinge; 4. remove the lower door; 5.
m Warning: After having reversed the opening direction of the doors check that all the screws are properly tightened and that the magnetic seal adheres to the cabinet. If the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the gasket may not fit perfectly to the cabinet. In that case, wait for the natural fitting of the gasket or accelerate this process by heating up the part involved with a normal hairdrier.
Prior to Initial Start-Up Before connecting the appliance to the mains and putting it into operation for the first time, leave the appliance to stand for 30 minutes if was transported upright. After transport on its side, the appliance must be left to stand for 4 hours before putting it into operation. This is necessary to allow the oil to flow back into the compressor. Otherwise the compressor may be damaged.
The following effects are of significance in respect of the interior temperature: – Ambient temperature; – Quantity and temperature of the food stored; – Frequency with which the door is opened and how long it is left open. Switching the Appliance Off Refrigerator and freezer compartments can not be switched off independently of one another. To switch off, turn the temperature regulator to position "0".
Interior Accessories Storage Shelves/Storage Racks Depending on the model, your appliance is equipped with either glass storage shelves or storage racks. A glass storage shelf must always remain inserted into the lower guide track above the fruit and vegetable trays, so that fruits and vegetable remain fresh longer. The remaining storage shelves can be adjusted to various heights: Pull the storage shelf forward and remove. Insert at a different height.
Proper Storage Different temperature zones exist within the refrigerator due to the laws of physics. The coldest zone is at the bottom storage shelf above the fruit and vegetable trays. The warmer zones are found at the uppermost storage shelves and in the door compartments. The arrangement example shows at which places in the refrigerator suitable temperatures for various types of foods exist.
Freezing Attention! • Before foods are frozen, the actual temperature in the freezer compartment must be -18°C or colder. • Please observe indicated freezing capacity on the serial plate. The freezing capacity represents the maximum amount of fresh goods that can be frozen within 24 hours. If you freeze goods on several days, one after the other, freeze amounts equal to 2/3 to 3/4 of the capacity indicated on the serial plate.
Frozen Storage Attention! Before initial loading of the freezer compartment with previously frozen goods, the required storage temperature of -18°C must be reached. The freezer door storage compartment (2 stars) serves only for storage purposes at -12 °C. Storage time: 2-3 weeks, depending on food. • Load freezer compartment only with packaged frozen goods, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods can occur.
Defrosting Freezer Compartment Defrosting Moisture is precipitated in the form of white frost in the freezer compartment during operation and when the door is opened. Remove this white frost from time to time with a soft plastic scraper, e.g. a dough scraper. Do not under any circumstances use hard or pointed objects for this purpose. The appliance should be defrosted when the thickness of the white frost has reached about 4 mm; but at least once a year in any case.
Cleaning and Care For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly. Warning! • The appliance may not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse. • Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner.
Outside of appliance Steel surface: For cleaning of the steel surface you can use cleaning agent for steel usual in the trade. Thouse cleaning agents create a protection against fingerprints as well. Warning: When using this product, it is necessary to avoid the contact with plastic material because of degradation. Painted surface: Clean the appliance with a cloth and lukewarm water. Commercially available dish washing detergents may also be used. After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry.
