Appliance operation (multimode)

Temperature adjustment
The temperature in the cabinet may be adjusted by turning the knob slightly left or right in each function sector (Item. 3). To left for higher temperature and to right for lower
temperature.
The achieved temperatures can vary according to the conditions of use of the appliance, such as the place of the appliance, ambient temperature, frequency of door opening, and extent of filling with food of the
appliance. The position of the thermostat knobwill change according to these factors.
The appliance is designed to operate in three ways.
It can operate as a:

  1. Refrigerator;
  2. Chiller;
  3. Freezer.

Using the unit as a refrigerator
At the refrigerator setting on the knob, the temperature in the cabinet will be about 5°C.
This temperature is ideal for storing perishable foods such as diary products, fresh vegetables, and cold meats.
Cold drinks can also be stored at this temperature. The load can be introduced gradually in quantities not bigger than 50kg or 50l, at intervals of 15-20 hours.

Using the unit as a chiller
At the chiller setting on the knob, the unit may be compared with a butcher’s cold storage facility. The temperature in the cabinet can range from 3°C to -2°C.
This temperature is ideal for storing meat or fish for short period.
The advantage is that the food can be cooked without first defrosting it. The load can be introduced gradually in quantities not bigger than 50kg or 50l, on intervals of 15-20 hours.

Using the unit as a freezer
At the freezer setting on the knob, the temperature in the cabinet will be around -18°C. This temperature is ideal for storing frozen foods for long periods of time. For freezing of the fresh food, it is possible after min. 20 hours of operation.
In Freezer operation mode is necessary to use the obstructing plug (item 8.)
In Fridge and chiller operation mode the obstruction plug (item 8.) will be removed.

The signaling system is placed on the front side of the appliance (Item 5).
It includes:

  1. Thermostat adjustment knob – the inside temperature is adjusted.

  2. green LED – shows that the appliance is supplied with electric energy.

  3. red LED – damage – lights if the temperature in the compartment is too high.
    The LED will operate 15-45 minutes after the putting into operation of the appliance, then it must go off. If the LED goes on during the operation, this means that defects have occurred.

  4.  orange LED indicates that the compressor is running.

The three LEDs give information about the mode of operation of the appliance.

Advice for food conservation

Fridge & chiller operation.
Avoid a position of the thermostat box outside the ranges “Fridge” & “Chiller” which could lead to negative operation temperatures of the appliance, in this way exceeding temperatures below the intended range, with the danger of the freezing of the beverages and of the fresh food and excessive build-up of ice on the walls of the cabinet liner. You do not need to remove these drops, because the water which results is collected by the special channel in a small tray placed on the rear side of the appliance, from where it evaporates.

Freezer operation.
The freezer is intended to keep the frozen food for a long time, as well as to freeze fresh food.
One of the main elements for successful food freezing is packing.
The main conditions that the packing must fulfill are the following: to be airtight, to be inert to the packed food, to resist low temperatures, to be proof to liquids, grease, water vapors, and smells, to be able to be washed.
These conditions are fulfilled by the following types of packings: plastic or aluminum film, plastic and aluminum vessels, waxed cardboard glasses, or plastic glasses.

IMPORTANT!
– For freezing the fresh food please use the supplied baskets of the appliance.
– Do not place into the freezer a too large quantity of food at a time. The quality of the food is best kept if they are deeply frozen as quickly as possible. This is why it is advisable not to exceed the freezing capacity of the appliance specified in the “Product Fiche”.
– The fresh food must not come into contact with the food already frozen.
– The frozen food you have bought can be placed into the freezer without having to adjust the thermostat.
– If the freezing date is not mentioned on the packing, please take into consideration a period of max. 3 months, as a general guide.
– The food, even partially defrosted, cannot be frozen again, it must be consumed immediately or cooked and then refrozen.
– The fizzy drinks will not be kept in the freezer.
– In case of a power failure, do not open the door of the appliance.

Replacing the interior light bulb
To change the Bulb/LED used for the illumination of your refrigerator, call your authorised service.
The lamp(s) used in this appliance is not suitable for household room illumination. The intended purpose of this lamp is to assist the user to place foodstuffs in the refrigerator/freezer in a safe and comfortable way.
The lamps used in this appliance have to withstand extreme physical conditions such as temperatures below -20°C.

Mounting of the water collection tray
The tray for the water collection, (delivered with the appliance) must be mounted in the rear of it, under the condenser, on the metal fixing part. It is mounted on the eyes of the metal parts by its displacement in the direction shown by the arrow (Item 6). The tray will be detached from the fixing part if you want to move the appliance from one place to another, mounting it back after moving (Item 7).

Way of energy saving

  • Avoid placing the appliance in a sunny place or near a heat source.
  • Provide good ventilation to the compressor and condenser.
  • Do not leave the door open more than necessary and open it only when it is required.
  • Keep the condenser clean (the piping at the rear of the appliance).
  • For the most efficient operation try to maintain an ambient below 27ºC and 65% RH (Relative Humidity)”.

Advice to defrost your appliance

Fridge & Chiller operation.
The defrosting of your appliance in Fridge or Chiller operation is completely automatic and it occurs during each period of the stop of the motor-compressor controlled by the
thermostat. No intervention from you is necessary. The water from the defrosting is collected in the water collection tray placed in the rear of the appliance, from where it evaporates.

Freezer operation.
– We advise you to defrost the freezer at least twice a year or when the ice layer has an excessive thickness.
– The ice build-up is a normal phenomenon.
– The quantity and the rapidity of ice build-up depend on the ambient conditions and on the frequency of the door opening.
– We advise you to defrost the appliance when the quantity of frozen food is the least.
– Before defrosting, adjust the thermostat knob to a higher position of the “Freezer” mode so that the food stores colder.
– Unplug the appliance.
– Take out the frozen food, wrap it in several sheets of paper, and put them in the refrigerator or a cool place.
– In defrosting period if a large amount of ice is present please check in the rear of the appliance the level of the water in the water tray (Item 5, 6.). In case of exceeding the
maximum capacity of the water tray detach it in order to remove the collected water then mount the tray again.
– For a fast thaw please leave the door open.
Do not use sharp metal objects to remove the ice.
Do not use hairdryers or other electric heating appliances for defrosting.

Inside cleaning

Before starting the cleaning, unplug the appliance from the mains.

  • It is advisable to clean the appliance when you defrost it.
  • Wash the inside with lukewarm water where you add some neutral detergent. Do not use soap, gasoline, or acetone which can leave a strong odor.
  • Wipe with a wet sponge and dry with a soft cloth.

During this operation, avoid the excess water, in order to prevent its entrance into the thermal insulation of the appliance, which would cause unpleasant odors.
Do not forget to clean also the door gasket especially the bellow ribs, by means of a clean cloth.

Outside cleaning

  • Clean the outside of the cooler by means of a sponge soaked in soapy warm water, wipe with a soft cloth and dry.

  •  The cleaning of the outside part of the refrigerating circuit (motor compressor, condenser, connection tubes) will be done with a soft brush or with a vacuum cleaner.
    During this operation, please take care not to distort the tubes or detach the cables.
    Do not use scouring or abrasive materials!

  • After having finished the cleaning, replace the accessories at their places and plug in the appliance.

  • The tray will be cleaned every time when it is required.
    Attention: The cleaning will be done with the tray detached from the appliance. After having finished the cleaning, put the accessories back in their places.
