Description of the Appliance Temperature Display The temperature display can indicate several pieces of information. • During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the refrigerator (ACTUAL temperature) is displayed. • When the temperature is being adjusted a flashing display indicates the fridge compartment temperature currently set (DESIRED temperature). • If there is a fault in the appliance the temperature display shows a square in the temperature display for the fridge.
Description of the Appliance Quick chill The quick chill function can be used for the fast cooling of drinks in cans or bottles in the fast cool storage tray or of larger amounts of room-temperature food. The built-in charcoal filter reduces the development of any smell. Chilling of cans/bottles Place cans or bottles in the holder on the quick chill shelf in front of the fan grille. Turn the fan regulator to maximum and press the COOLMATIC button. The yellow indicator light comes on.
Prior to Initial Start–Up 1 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 2 hours before putting it into operation. This is necessary to allow the refrigerant to flow back into the compressor. Otherwise the compressor may be damaged. 0 1.
Note: From a food safety point of view, +5 °C for the refrigerator compartment should be considered cold enough as a storage temperature. 3 When the buttons are not further pressed after an adjustment has been made, after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) the temperature display switches over and again displays the ACTUAL temperature in the refrigerator. The display changes from flashing to illuminated numbers.
Holiday Mode In the holiday mode the temperature for the refrigerator is approximately +15 °C. In the holiday mode it is therefore possible to leave the door of the empty refrigerator closed during periods of extended absence. Advantage: Unintentional closing of the door, or accidental closing of the door by persons who have access to your home during your absence, is no longer possible. Without the holiday mode leaving the door closed would lead to the accumulation of odours and mould.
Control and Information Systems The control and information systems consist of the temperature display, an optical warning display and an acoustic warning. The system warns if: – if the appliance door remains open for longer than 5 minutes; – if the temperature in the fridge compartment is too warm; – functional errors at the appliance. "Open Door" Warning If the fridge door is left open for longer than 5 minutes the red warning display will flash and an acoustic warning tone will sound.
Interior Fittings Storage Shelves The shelf in the lowest runners over the fruit and vegetable drawer must always remain in this position, so that fruit and vegetables stay fresher for longer. The remaining storage shelves can be adjusted to various heights: 0 1. Pull the storage shelf forward until it can be tipped up or down and removed. 2. To insert at a different height use the same procedure in reverse. Adjustment for tall items: 0 1.
Interior Fittings . 3 The ventilation grille above the salad bin improves air circulation so that groceries keep for longer. Bottle Rack Place bottles in the rack with the bottleneck to the front. Important: Only store unopened bottles horizontally. The bottle rack can be tilted for storing opened bottles. 0 1. To do this pull the bottle rack for- ward until it can be tilted upwards, then slide the front support into the next level up.
Interior Fittings Bottle and Can Holder The side of the bottle and can holder is moveable to enable a more flexible placement of cans and bottles in front of the grid. To alow the holder to be moved easier when moving sideways, press the shelf backwards. The bottle support can be pulled out when chilling larger bottles. Dismantling of the Bottle and Can Holder 0 1. Take out the quick chill shelf with holder from the cabinet. 2.
Proper Storage The cooling fan ensures an even temperature distribution in the fridge. There is a max. temperature difference of 1 °C. Foods with different lengths of storage time can therefore be arranged on the shelves as you like, without having to take into account the different temperature zones which usually occur. The temperature in the fruit and vegetable drawer is around 3 - 4 °C higher than the fridge temperature set. The example arrangement opposite shows possible ways of storing food.
Hints and Tips Normal Operating Sounds • You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the cooling plate/evaporator. • When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor. • A thermostat controls the compressor and you will hear a faint click when the thermostat cuts in and out.
Defrosting The Fridge defrosts automatically Maintenance and Cleaning Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply. Internal Cleaning 0 1. Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly. 1 Warning! • Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or cleaning products containing bleach or alcohol. 2.
Maintenance and Cleaning Changing the carbon filter To maintain the best performance the carbon filter should be changed once a year with normal usage.
