SWITCHING THE APPLIANCE ON/OFF Switching the appliance on: Switch on the appliance by briefly pressing the key A. With this model, it is possible to only switch on the freezer compartment while the refrigerator compartment is switched off. This setting can be made in two ways: - briefly press the F key to switch on the freezer compartment only; or - first briefly press the A key to switch onthe entire appliance. Then, press and hold (for three seconds) the A key to switchoff the refrigerator compartment.
• To set the temperature in the freezer compartment use the keys I: lower temperature; higher temperature. • Temperature in the freezer compartment can be set from -6°F to +6°F. • After one of the I keys is pressed, the mostrecent temperature setting will flash on thedisplay J. Use the I keys to set the desiredtemperature. Three seconds after the last keywas pressed, the most recent temperaturesetting is stored for the freezer compartment. • Recommended setting is 0°F.
• With this setting, the compressor will operate continuously and the temperature in the freezer compartment will drop considerably. • If the setting is not deactivated manually (by pressing the »H« key), it will be deactivated automatically after approximately one day. Freezer compartment temperature will return to the most recent setting. • Use this setting for freezing smaller amounts of food (up to 2 kilograms) in the upper drawer.
ECO FUNCTION To activate the Eco function, press the G key. With this function activated, appliance will operate with optimum settings. SAFETY BLOCK (CHILD SAFETY LOCK) 15 514483 Use this function if you do not wish to manually adjust the appliance settings. To activate, press and hold the B key (for three seconds); LL will appear on the display E. This will lock all keys except B.

APPLIANCE INTERIOR EQUIPMENT (* Equipment depends on the model) SHELF 1 2 • For easier access to food and clarity, the shelves can be partly pulled out. • The shelves may be adjusted to suit your preferences using the guides in the refrigerator interior. To remove a shelf from the refrigerator, pull it out to the point when it is stopped by the guide. Then, lift it slightly at the front part and pull it all the way out. Store perishables at the back of the shelf where the temperature is the lowest.
CRISPZONE – FRUIT AND VEGETABLE BIN WITH HUMIDITY CONTROL • The bin at the bottom of the refrigerator is intended for storing fruit and vegetables. It provides humidity and prevents the food from drying out. • Store the food in suitable packaging to prevent them from emitting or taking on odours. The bin has integrated humidity regulator which allows setting the humidity according to the amount of food stored.
STORAGE BIN (MULTIBOX)* • MultiBox bin offers a convenient way for storing food with a strong or pungent smell, e.g. ripened or blue-vein cheese, sausages, onions, butter etc. • The silicone lid provides an air-tight seal that prevents the food from drying out and the odour to spread throughout the refrigerator compartment. • The silicon lid can also be used as an egg or ice tray.
NO FROST APPLIANCES Ionizer switched on Ionizer switched off ADAPTIVE INTELLIGENT TECHNOLOGY 19 514483 Innovative sensor technology allows adjusting appliance operation to the user's habits or behaviour. Adaptive intelligent system monitors, analyzes, and records on a daily and weekly basis the use of appliance and adapts appliance operation to the perceived patterns.
RECOMMENDED DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE Sections of the refrigerator: - upper part: canned food, bread, wine, pastry etc. - middle part: dairy products, ready-made meals, desserts, soft drinks, beer, cooked food, etc. - FreshZone bin: - meat, meat produce, delicatessen; - Fruit and vegetable bin: fresh fruit, vegetables, salads, root vegetables, potatoes, onions, garlic, tomatoes, tropical fruit, sauerkraut, turnips etc.
STORING FOOD IN THE REFRIGERATOR IMPORTANT WARNINGS REGARDING FOOD STORAGE Correct use of the appliance, appropriate packaging, maintaining the right temperature, and observing the food hygiene standards has a decisive impact on the quality of food storage. Observe the expiry dates for the food, specified on the packaging. Food stored in the refrigerator should be kept in closed containers or appropriate packaging to prevent them from emitting or receiving odours.
STORING FOOD IN THE FRESHZONE DRAWER In the FreshZone compartment, food stays fresh longer than in a conventional refrigerator, retaining more flavour and nutrients. Decay and loss of mass are slowed down; therefore, fruit and vegetables remain fresh and natural longer. For optimum performance, the drawer should be fully closed. • When buying food, make sure it is fresh as this will determine the quality of the food, as well as how long it will keep in the fridge.
FREEZING AND STORING FROZEN FOOD FREEZING PROCESS Maximum amount of fresh food that may be inserted at once is specified on the appliance rating plate. If the amount of food to be frozen exceeds the indicated amount, the quality of freezing will be inferior; in addition, the quality of the food already frozen will deteriorate. • To make use of the entire freezer volume, remove all drawers. Place the food directly on the shelves and on the freezer bottom.
IMPORTANT WARNINGS ON FREEZING FRESH FOOD Only freeze the food that is suitable for freezing in the freezer. Make sure the food you freeze is of high quality and fresh. Choose appropriate packaging and use the packaging correctly. Packaging should not be permeable to humidity; it should be airtight to prevent the food from drying out and loss of vitamins. Label the food; indicate the type of food, amount, and date of freezing. It is important that the food is frozen as quickly as possible.
FROZEN FOOD STORAGE TIME Recommended storage time in the freezer Type of food fruit, beef Time from 10 to 12 months vegetables, veal, poultry Venison Pork minced meat from 8 to 10 months from 6 to 8 months from 4 to 6 months 4 months bread, pastry, ready-to-eat meals, lean entrails 3 months 2 months smoked sausage, fatty fish 1 month DEFROSTING FROZEN FOOD www.chambers-appliances.com 514483 Freezing the food does not kill the microorganisms.
DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE AUTOMATIC REFRIGERATOR DEFROSTING Refrigerator does not need defrosting because the ice on the back interior wall is thawed automatically. Any accumulated ice will melt when the compressor unit is inactive. Drops will flow through an opening in the refrigerator rear wall into a tray fitted above the compressor, from where theywill evaporate.
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE Before cleaning, unplug the appliance from the power mains – switch off the appliance (see chapter switching the Appliance On/Off) and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. • Use a soft cloth to clean all surfaces. Cleaners that contain abrasive substances, acids, or solvents are not suitable for cleaning as they may damage the surface. Clean the appliance exterior with water or a mild solution of suds.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem: Cause or remedy: Appliance is connected to the power mains but it does not work. • Make sure there is voltage in the power outlet and that the appliance is switched on. Cooling system operates continuously for a long period of time: • Too high environment temperature. • Door opened too frequently or too long. • Door not closed correctly (possible impurities on the seal, misaligned door, damaged seal etc.). • Too much fresh food inserted at once.
Problem: Cause or remedy: Door is difficult to open: • If you are trying to open the freezer door after just having closed it, this could be difficult to do. As you open the door, some cool air escapes from the appliance and it is replaced by warm air from the environment. When this air is cooled, negative pressure is generated which results in problems as you try to open the door. After a few minutes, the condition is normalized and the door can be easily opened again.
INFORMATION ABOUT APPLIANCE NOISE Cooling in refrigerator freezers is made possible by a cooling system that also includes a compressor (and a fan with some appliances), which generates some noise. The level of noise depends on installation, proper use, and age of the appliance. • After connecting the appliance to the power mains, compressor operation, or the sound of flowing liquid, may be somewhat louder. This is not a sign of malfunction and it will not affect the useful life of the appliance.
