Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing material The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally be recycled. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation! Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure that they are recycled.
Warning and Safety instructions Technical safety This appliance complies with all relevant legal safety requirements. Improper use can, however, present a risk of both personal injury and material damage. To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, read the operating instructions carefully before installation and before using for the first time. They contain important notes on the installation, safety, operation and care of the appliance.
Warning and Safety instructions Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply make sure that the rating on the data plate corresponds to the voltage and frequency of the household supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
Warning and Safety instructions Observe the "use by" dates given on food to avoid the risk of food poisoning. Storage times will depend on several factors, including the freshness and quality of the food as well as the temperature at which it is stored. Follow the instructions given on food manufacturer's packaging on storage conditions required, as well as the "use by" date. Do not use sharp edged objects to – remove frost and ice, – separate food which has become frozen.
Warning and Safety instructions Disposal of your old appliance Before disposing of an old appliance, first make the door latch or lock unusable. This way you will prevent children from accidentally locking themselves in and endangering their lives. Disconnect the appliance. Cut off the cable and render any plug unusable. Be careful not to damage any part of the pipework whilst awaiting disposal, e.g. by – puncturing the refrigerant channels in the evaporator. – bending any pipework.
How to save energy Installation 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 to a heat source (radiator, oven). Situated near to a heat source (radiator, oven). Where the ambient room temperature is ideal at approx. 20 °C. Where there is a high ambient room temperature. Temperature setting with With a medium setting of 2 to 3.
Switching on and off Before using for the first time The stainless steel surface has a layer of protective foil to prevent scratching during transportation. ^ Do not remove this foil until the appliance has been installed or built in. Start at one of the upper corners. ^ Clean the inside of the appliance and the accessories with warm water and a little washing up liquid, and then dry with a soft cloth.
Switching on and off Switching off for longer periods of time If the appliance is not going to be used for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst on holiday, ^ switch the appliance off, ^ switch off at the wall socket and withdraw the plug, ^ clean the appliance out and ^ leave the door ajar to air the appliance. If, during a long absence, the appliance is switched off but not cleaned out and the door is left shut there is a danger of mould and odours building up inside the appliance.
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. Setting the temperature in the refrigerator section Use the two buttons underneath the temperature display to set the temperature for the refrigerator section.
The correct temperature If you have adjusted the temperature, wait for approx. 6 hours if the appliance is not very full and for approx. 24 hours if the appliance is full, before checking the temperature display as it will take this long for the display to show the accurate temperature of the appliance. If, after this time, the temperature is still too high or too low, you will need to adjust it again.
The correct temperature Temperature display During normal operation, the temperature display on the control panel shows the average temperature in the refrigerator section. If the temperature is not within the range that the appliance is able to display (0 °C to 19 °C), bars will flash in the temperature display. The temperature display will flash, if – a different temperature is being set, – the temperature in the appliance has risen by several degrees, indicating that the appliance is warming up too much.
Alarm Your appliance has been fitted with an alarm to avoid energy being wasted if the door is left open and to prevent stored food becoming too warm. The alarm will sound if the door is left open for more than approx. 60 seconds. The alarm will stop as soon as the door is closed. If you want to keep the door open for more than approx. 60 seconds, intentionally, we recommend that you switch the alarm off. Switching the alarm off early ^ Press the alarm button. The alarm will stop.
Super cool Super cool Switching off Super cool The Super cool function can be used to rapidly reduce the temperature in the refrigerator section to its lowest setting (depending on the room temperature). The Super cool function switches itself off automatically after approx. 6 hours. The indicator light goes out and the appliance continues running at normal power. Switching on Super cool Super cool is particularly recommended for faster chilling of large amounts of fresh food or drink.
Using the refrigerator efficiently Different storage zones Due to the natural circulation of the air in the appliance, there are different temperature zones in the refrigerator section. Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest section of the appliance. Make use of the different zones when placing food in the appliance. Warmest area The warmest area is in the top section of the door. Use this for storing butter and cheese.
Using the refrigerator efficiently The StayFresh zone is divided into two areas: – The dry compartment has a relative humidity level of approx. 45 %. – The humidity controlled compartment has a control for setting the humidity level between 45 % and 90 %. Slide the control to the humidity level you require. The humidity level will also be affected by the moisture content of the food being stored and how often the compartment is opened. Low humidity level , ^ To set a humidity level of approx.
Using the refrigerator efficiently Storing food correctly Store food covered or packaged. This will prevent food smells or tastes from affecting other foods, and prevent food from drying out and also any cross-contamination of bacteria. The growth of bacteria, such as salmonella, can be avoided by setting the correct temperature and maintaining good standards of hygiene. Fruit and vegetables Fruit and vegetables can be stored loose in the vegetable containers.
Adjusting the interior fittings Moving the shelves Adjusting the door shelves The shelves can be adjusted according to the height of the food. ^ Push the door shelf upwards, then remove it by pulling it forwards. ^ Pull the shelf forward as far as it will go; then lift it upwards to remove it. ^ Replace the door shelf at the required position. Ensure that it is securely pushed back into position. ^ With the rear barrier facing upwards, place the shelf at the required position.
Automatic defrost Refrigerator section and StayFresh zone Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the refrigerator section and the StayFresh zone whilst in use. These are automatically removed and defrosted by the appliance. The condensate is drained away via a channel and drain hole into an evaporation system at the back of the appliance. Ensure that the condensate channel and drain hole are kept clean and are never blocked so that condensate can flow away without hindrance.
Cleaning and care Never use cleaning agents containing abrasive substances such as sand, soda, acids or chemical solvents. "Non-abrasive" cleaning agents are also unsuitable as they can cause matt areas to appear. Stainless steel surfaces should be cleaned with a proprietary stainless steel cleaner following the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging. Make sure that no water can penetrate into the electronic unit or into the light.
Cleaning and care Ventilation gaps ^ The ventilation gaps should be cleaned on a regular basis with a brush or vacuum cleaner. A build up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance. Door seal Do not use any oils or grease on the door seal as these will cause the seal to deteriorate and become porous over time. The door seal should be cleaned regularly with clean water and then wiped dry with a soft cloth.
