First Use
- Before using your refrigerator, make sure the necessary preparations are made in line with the instructions in the “Safety Information” and “Installation” sections.
- If the product is transported horizontally, do not plug the product into the power supply for the first 4 hours.
- Keep the product running without placing any food inside for 12 hours and do not open the door, unless necessary.
Daily use
Setting the operating temperature
LED indicators and control panel
- There are two coloured indicator lights located on the front of the appliance which shows the operating mode of the freezer.
Green Indicator
- Illuminates when the appliance is connected to the mains and will glow as long as electricity is available.
- The green light will not glow if the thermostat is set to a ‘0’ position. The green indicator does not give any indication of the temperature inside the freezer.
- To turn off the appliance (0 position) please rotate the knob by applying slightly more force.
Red Indicator (2) Illuminates
- If the pre-set temperature can not be maintained.
- If excessive amounts of fresh food are placed inside.
- If the appliance door is left open accidentally.
Thermostat knob (3)
The thermostat knob is located on the indicator light set.
The operating temperature is regulated by the temperature control.
-
1 = Lowest cooling setting
-
4 = Highest cooling setting
(Or) -
Min. = Lowest cooling setting
-
Max. = Highest cooling setting
Please choose the setting according to the desired temperature. The interior
temperature also depends on ambient temperature, the frequency with which the
door is opened and the amount of food kept inside. Frequently opening the door
causes the interior temperature to rise.
For this reason, it is recommended to close the door again as soon as possible
after use. The normal storage temperature of your appliance should be -18 °C
(0 °F). If the thermostat knob is turned counterclockwise from position 1, the
appliance will be switched off and a “click” sound will be heard. Lower
temperatures can be obtained by adjusting the thermostat knob towards Position
4. We recommend checking the temperature with a thermometer to ensure that the
storage compartments are kept to the desired temperature. Remember to take the
reading immediately since the thermometer temperature will rise very rapidly
after you remove it from the freezer.
Freezing food
- The freezing area is marked with a symbol on the door liner.
- You can use the appliance for freezing fresh food as well as for storing pre-frozen food.
- Please refer to the recommendations given on the packaging of your food.
Attention
- Do not freeze fizzy drinks, as the bottle may burst when the liquid in it is frozen.
- Be careful with frozen products such as coloured icecubes.
- Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 hours. See the rating label.
- To maintain the quality of the food, the freezing must be effected as rapidly as possible.
- Thus, the freezing capacity will not be exceeded, and the temperature inside the freezer will not rise.
Attention
- Keep the already deep-frozen food always separated from freshly placed food.
- When deep-freezing hot food, the cooling compressor will work until the food is completely frozen. This can temporarily cause excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment.
- If you find the freezer door difficult to open just after you have closed it, don’t worry. This is due to the pressure difference which will equalize and allow the door to open normally after a few minutes.
- You will hear a vacuum sound just after closing the door. This is quite normal.
Defrosting of the appliance
- Excessive build-up of ice will affect the freezing performance of your appliance.
- It is therefore recommended that you defrost your appliance at least twice a year, or whenever the ice buildup exceeds 7 mm.
- Defrost your appliance when there is only little or no food in it.
- Take out the deep-frozen food from the drawers. Wrap the deep-frozen food in several layers of paper, or a blanket, and keep it in a cold place.
- Unplug the appliance or switch off the circuit breaker to start the defrosting process.
- Take out the accessories (like shelf, drawer etc.) from the appliance and use a suitable container to collect the thawing water.
- Use a sponge or a soft cloth to remove thawing water if necessary
- Keep the door open during defrosting.
- For quicker defrosting, place containers with warm water inside the appliance.
- Never use electrical devices, defrosting sprays or pointed or sharp-edged objects such as knives or forks to remove the ice.
- After the defrosting is done, clean the inside.
- Reconnect the appliance to the mains. Place the frozen food into the drawers and slide the drawers into the freezer.
