Electrical Requirements

Before you insert the plug into the wall socket make sure that the voltage and the frequency shown on the rating plate inside the appliance corresponds to your electricity supply. Rating label is on the left hand side of fridge inner liner. We recommend that this appliance be connected to the mains supply via a suitable switched and fused socket. The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.
WARNING: When positioning the appliance ensure the supply cord is not trapped or damaged. Should the mains lead of the appliance become damaged or should it need replacing at any time, it must be replaced by a special purpose made mains lead which can only be obtained from a Blomberg Authorised Service Agent.

Warning! This Appliance Must Be Earthed

If the fitted moulded plug is not suitable for your socket, then the plug should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted. Destroy the old plug which is cut off as a plug with bared cord could cause a shock hazard if inserted into a socket elsewhere in the house. The moulded plug on this appliance incorporates a 13 A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced an ASTABEAB approved BS 1362 fuse of the same rating must be used.Do not forget to refit the fuse cover. In the event of losing the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement fuse cover has been fitted. Colour of the replacement fuse cover must be the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fuse
covers are available from any good electrical store.

Important! Fitting A Different Plug

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows (see diagram):

•  Connect the green-yellow or green (Earth) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘E’ or with the symbol or coloured green and yellow or green.
•  Connect the blue (Neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘N’ or coloured black.
• Connect the brown (Live) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘L’ or coloured red.
•  With alternative plugs a 13 A fuse must be fitted either in the plug or adaptor or in the main fuse box. If in doubt contact a qualified electrician

Energy Saving Tips

•  Ensure your appliance is installed in a well ventilated area.
•  Ensure the time between buying chilled/frozen food and placing them in your appliance is kept at minimum, particularly in summer. We recommend you use a cool bag or a special carrier bag to carry frozen food.
•  Do not leave the door (s) of your appliance open longer than necessary and ensure they are closed properly after each opening.
•  Defrost frozen food in the fridge, so that frozen food acts as an ice pack to assist cooling in fridge.

To cancel this function press Vacation function button again.

Dual cooling system

Your refrigerator is equipped with two separate cooling systems to cool the fresh food compartment and freezer compartment. Thus, air in the fresh food compartment and freezer compartment do not get mixed. Thanks to these two separate cooling systems, cooling speed is much higher than other refrigerators. Odors in the compartments do not get mixed. Also, additional power saving is provided since the defrosting is performed individually.

Defrosting
A) Fridge compartment
The fridge compartment performs full automatic defrosting. The defrost water runs to the drain tube via a collection container at the back of the appliance. Check that the tube is permanently placed with its end in the collecting tray on the compressor to prevent the water spilling on the electric installation or on the floor.
B) Freezer compartment
The NO FROST type defrost is completely automatic. No intervention from your side is required. The water is collected on the compressor tray. Due the heat of the compressor the water is evaporated.
Warnings! The fans inside the freezer and fresh food compartments circulates cold air. Never insert any object through the guard. Do not allow children to play with the fresh food and freezer fan. Never store products that contain inflammable propellant gas (e.g. dispensers, spray cans etc.) or explosive substances. Don’t cover the shelves with any protective materials, which may obstruct air circulation. Do not allow children to play with the appliance or tamper with the controls. Do not obstruct the fan guards to ensure that you obtain the best possible performance from your appliance. Please ensure the fans are not blocked (stopped) or impaired by food or packaging. Blocking (stopping) or impairing the fan can result in an increase of the internal freezer temperature (Thawing).

The dairy (cold storage) bin

The dairy (cold storage) bin provides lower temperature within the refrigerator compartment. Use this bin to store delicatessen (salami, sausages, dairy products and etc.) that requires lower storage temperature or meat, chicken or fish products for immediate consumption. Do not store fruits and vegetables inside this bin.

VitaminCare+

Fruits and vegetables stored in crispers illuminated with the VitaminCare+ technology preserve their vitamin A and C content for a longer time thanks to the blue, green, red lights and dark cycles, which simulate a day cycle. With this technology, you can keep your fruits & vegetables tasty & healthy longer which helps you to minimize food waste at home. If you open the door of the refrigerator during the dark period of the VitaminCare+ technology, the refrigerator will automatically detect this and enable the blue, green or red light to illuminate the crisper for your convenience. After you have closed the door of the refrigerator, the dark period will continue, representing the night time in a day cycle.

Storing Frozen Food

Prepacked commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen food manufacturer’s instructions for a frozen food storage compartment. To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the food retailer is maintained, the following should be remembered:

•  Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
•  Ensure that contents are labelled and dated.
•  Do not exceed “Use By”, “Best Before” dates on the packaging. If there is a power failure do not open the door. Frozen food should not be affected if the failure lasts for less than 13 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then re-frozen.

Freezing Fresh Food

Please observe the following instructions to obtain the best results. Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible. Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 h. Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the refrigeration compressor to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid. This can temporarily lead to excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment. You may place fresh food to be frozen in any part of the freezer. Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.

Making Ice Cubes
Fill the ice – cube tray 3/4 full with water and place it in the Ice Bank. Loosen frozen trays with the handle of a spoon, never use sharp-edged objects such as knives, forks. Store ice-cubes in the Ice Bank.
Note: If freshly made ice cubes are not consumed for several weeks and stored in Ice Bank, they will slowly reduce in size and eventually disappear completely.

Maintenance and cleaning

We recommend that you switch off the appliance at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug before cleaning.

•  Never use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent and wax polish for cleaning.
•  Use lukewarm water to clean the cabinet of the appliance and wipe it dry.
•  Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water to clean the interior and wipe it dry.
•  Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing.
•  If the appliance is not going to be used for a long period of time switch it off, remove all food, clean it and leave the door ajar.
•  Any dust that gathers on the condenser, which is located at the  back of the appliance, should be removed once a year with a vacuum cleaner.
•  Check door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particles.
•  Removal of door rack.
•  To remove door racks, remove all the contents and then simply push the door rack upwards from the base.
•  To remove a freezer drawer, pull it as far as possible, and then tilt it upwards, and then pull it out completely.
• Make sure that the special plastic container (drain tray) at the back of the appliance which collects defrost water is clean at all times. If you want to remove the tray to clean it follow the instructions below:
•  Switch off at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug.
•  Push the lug down with the tip of a screw driver & pull out with a jerk movement
•  Clean the drain tray and wipe it dry.
•  Reassemble reversing the sequence and operations.
•  Avoid spillage of food particularly small items like rice, peas, beans through the fan guard as they may cause the cooling system to block and therefore operate less efficiently.
