How to save energy Installation/Mainte nance Normal energy consumption Increased energy consumption In a ventilated room. In an enclosed, unventilated room. Protected from direct sunlight. In direct sunlight. Not situated near a heat source (radiator, oven). Situated near a heat source (radiator, oven). Where the ideal ambient room Where the room temperature temperature is approx. 20 °C. is high.
How to save energy Normal energy consumption Use Do not change the arrangement of the drawers and shelves as when delivered. Only open the door when necessary and for as short a time as possible. Store food in an organised way. Frequent opening of the door for long periods will cause a loss of coldness. The appliance will try to cool down and the running time of the compressor will increase. Take a cooler bag when shopping and load food in the appliance as quickly as possible on your return home.
Switching on and off Before using for the first time To ensure the correct functioning of the appliance, let it stand for between ½ and 1 hour after transporting it to its final location before connecting it to the mains. Protective foil The stainless steel strips have a layer of protective foil to prevent scratching during transportation. On stainless steel appliances, the stainless steel door and possibly the sides are covered in a protective foil.
The correct temperature It is very important to set the correct temperature for storing food in the appliance. Micro-organisms will cause food which is not stored at the correct temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influences the growth rate of these micro-organisms. Reducing the temperature reduces their growth rate.
SuperCool and DynamicCooling SuperCool DynamicCooling m The SuperCool function can be used to rapidly reduce the temperature in the refrigerator section to its lowest setting (depending on the room temperature). When the DynamicCooling function is not switched on, the natural circulation of air in the appliance will cause different temperature zones in the refrigerator as the cold, heavy air will sink to the lowest section of the appliance.
SuperCool and DynamicCooling Switching off DynamicCooling ^ Press the DynamicCooling button m. The DynamicCooling indicator light will go out. The fan automatically switches off when the door is open.
Using the refrigerator efficiently Different storage zones Warmest area Due to the natural circulation of the air in the appliance, there are different temperature zones in the refrigerator. Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest section of the appliance. Make use of the different zones when placing food in the appliance. The warmest area is in the top section of the door. Use this for storing butter and cheese.
Using the refrigerator efficiently Do not store explosive materials in the appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Danger of explosion! If storing alcohol with a high percentage proof, make sure it is tightly closed, and stored upright. Do not store cooking oil in the refrigerator door. Traces of oil can cause stress cracks to occur in the plastic components in the door. Food must not touch the back wall of the refrigerator, as it may freeze to the back wall.
Using the refrigerator efficiently When shopping for food Storing food correctly The freshness of food when first placed in the appliance is an important factor in determining how long it stays fresh, and how long it can be kept in the refrigerator. Also pay attention to the expiry date and the correct storage temperature for each type of food. Time out of the refrigerator, e.g. during transportation, should be kept to a minimum. For example, do not allow food to stay in a hot car for too long.
Adjusting the interior fittings Moving the shelves The shelves can be adjusted according to the height of the food. ^ Raise the shelf, and pull it forwards slightly until the notch at the side is in line with the shelf support. It can then be raised or lowered to the required level. The raised edge at the back must face upwards to prevent food from touching the back of the appliance and freezing to it. Stoppers prevent the shelves from being dislodged by mistake.
Adjusting the interior fittings Fruit and vegetable containers The fruit and vegetable containers are pushed in and out on telescopic runners, and can be completely removed if necessary. ^ Pull the container right out and then lift it up and off. Push the runners back in again to avoid injury or damage. To replace a container, ^ place it back on the fully extended runners a. The front of the runners must be right up against the front of the container b. ^ Then push the container back in c.
Automatic defrost The refrigerator defrosts automatically. Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the refrigerator whilst it is in use. You do not need to remove this, as it will defrost and evaporate automatically with the warmth generated by the appliance. The condensate is drained away via a channel and drain hole into an evaporation system at the back of the appliance.
Cleaning and care Before cleaning Make sure that water cannot get into the electronic unit or into the lighting. ^ Switch off the appliance. Do not let water get into the drainage channel and drain hole when cleaning. ^ Disconnect the appliance from the mains. Switch off at the wall and withdraw the plug from the socket, or disconnect the mains fuse. Do not use a steam cleaning apparatus to clean the appliance. Steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Cleaning and care ^ Clean the shelves and drawers by hand as they are not dishwasher safe. ^ Clean the condensate channel and drain hole frequently, so that condensate can drain away unhindered. Use a straw or similar to clear the drain if necessary. ^ After cleaning, wipe the interior and accessories with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth. Leave the door open to air the appliance for a short while.
Cleaning and care Rear of appliance - metal grille The metal grille at the back of the appliance (heat exchanger) should be dusted at least once a year. A build-up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance. When cleaning the grille, make sure that the pipework and other components do not get broken or damaged in any way. After cleaning ^ Replace all shelves and accessories back in the appliance. ^ Reconnect the appliance to the electricity supply and switch it on.
