Refrigerator compartment

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

• Cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
• Position the food so that air can circulate freely around it.
• For best performance, leave enough space in the refrigerator compartment for air to circulate around the packages. Also leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.
• Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator.
• Meat (all types): wrap in suitable packaging and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Store meat for at most 1-2 days.
• Cooked foods and cold dishes: cover and place on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly and place in the vegetable drawer. Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic must not be kept in the refrigerator if not packed.
• Butter and cheese: place in special airtight containers or wrap in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
• Bottles: close with caps and place on the door balconies.

Odour removal
The refrigerator compartment is equipped with an air purifier which uses unique platinum sterilization technology to purify air from unwanted odours. Natural ions can be released all the time to create a sterile and healthy environment in the refrigerator compartment.
Platinum fresh has no need for any filter change.

Radar sensor monitored cooling
The refrigerator compartment has two radar sensors installed on the internal right side.
The sensors can automatically detect the internal temperature differences caused by food temperature, and thus internal temperature is automatically adjusted to prevent temperature fluctuations.

Movable shelves

• The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the safety glass shelves can be positioned as desired.

Vegetable drawers

• The refrigerator comes with two separate vegetable drawers, the upper big drawer and the lower small drawer. The drawers are suitable for storing fruit and vegetables.
• The drawers can be pulled out for cleaning.

Variable temperature zone

• This zone is suitable for storing fresh foods such as fruit and vegetables, dairy products, meats and drinks.
• The temperature in the variable temperature zone can be set individually to suit the type of food being stored in this zone. The temperature setting range is Fruit/vegetable ( ), Chilled ( ), and Drink ( ).
• The drawer can be pulled out for cleaning.

Freezer compartment

Hints for freezing fresh food

• The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rating plate.
• When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the compartment let the appliance run for at least 2 hours on a colder setting.
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter.
• Wrap food to protect it from any water, humidity or condensation; this will prevent the spread of any odours in the refrigerator, while also ensuring better storage of frozen food.
• Lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of food.
• Never place warm food in the freezer. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy and prolongs the life of the appliance.
• Do not refreeze partially thawed food.
• Note: Never put bottled food or drinks in the frozen-food compartment.
• For best performance, leave enough space in the frozen-food compartment for air to circulate around the packages. Also leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.

Freezer compartment
This appliance is a refrigerator with a star freezer compartment. Packaged frozen food can be stored for the period of time indicated on the packaging. Once defrosted, food must be used within 24 hours.

Hints for storing frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:

• Make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer.
• Make sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the food store to the frozen-food compartment in the shortest possible time.
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen.

Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room temperature, depending on the time available for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the frozen-food compartment: in this case, cooking will take longer.

WARNING! In the event of accidental defrosting, for example the power has been off for longer than the temperature rising time shown on the rating plate of the appliance, the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then re-frozen (after being cooked).

Daily use

To lower the energy consumed by the appliance, follow these tips:

• Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room far away from any heat source (e.g. radiator, cooker, etc.) and in a place not exposed directly to the sun. If required, use an insulating plate.
• To guarantee adequate ventilation follow installation instructions.
• Insufficient ventilation on back of the product increases energy consumption and decreases cooling efficiency.
• The internal temperatures of the appliance may be affected by the ambient temperature, frequency of door opening, as well as location of the appliance. Temperature setting should take into consideration these factors.
• Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance.
• Do not obstruct the fan (if available) with food items.
• After placing or removing food, ensure you close the door properly, especially the freezer door.
• Reduce to a minimum door opening.
• When thawing frozen food, place them in the refrigerator. The low temperature of the frozen products cools the food in the refrigerator.
• Positioning of the shelves in the refrigerator has no impact on the efficient usage of energy. Food should be placed on the shelves in such way to ensure proper air circulation (food should not touch each other and distance between food and rear wall should be kept).
• Damaged gaskets must be replaced as soon as possible.

Cleaning and maintenance

General tips

• Regularly clean the appliance and accessories with a cloth and a solution of warm water and neutral detergent specifically formulated for refrigerator interiors. Do not use abrasive cleaners or tools.
• Regularly check the door gaskets and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris.
• Rinse and dry thoroughly.

CAUTION! The appliance must be unplugged before servicing or cleaning.

CAUTION! The refrigerator accessories must not be placed in a dishwasher.

Defrosting the refrigerator compartment
Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is completely automatic. The formation of water droplets on the rear internal wall of the refrigerator compartment indicates that the automatic defrosting is underway. The defrost water automatically runs into a drain outlet and then into a container from where it evaporates.

Note: Make sure the drain hole is never blocked by food or any other object to allow condensation to drain.

Defrosting the freezer compartment
The freezer compartment defrosts automatically.

If you do not use the appliance for a prolonged period

1. Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
2. Remove all food.
3. Clean the appliance and all accessories.
4. Leave the doors open just enough to allow air to circulate inside the compartments. This will prevent the formation of mould and unpleasant odours.

In the event of a power cut

• Keep the doors of the appliance closed. This will allow the food to stay cold as long as possible.
• If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it. Consume within 24 hours.

How long is the IKEA guarantee valid?

this will not extend the guarantee period for the appliance.

Who will execute the service?

What does this guarantee cover?
The guarantee covers faults of the appliance,

The exceptions are specified under the headline “What is not covered under this guarantee?” Within the guarantee period, the costs to remedy the fault e.g. repairs, parts, labour and travel will be covered, provided that the appliance is accessible for repair without special expenditure. On these conditions the EU guidelines (Nr. 99/44/EG) and the respective local regulations are applicable. Replaced parts become the property of IKEA.

What will IKEA do to correct the problem?
IKEA appointed Service Provider will examine the product and decide, at its sole discretion, if it is covered under this guarantee. If considered covered, IKEA Service Provider or its authorized service partner through its own service operations, will then, at its sole discretion, either repair the defective product or replace it with the same or a comparable product.

However, if IKEA delivers the product to the customer’s delivery address, then damage to the product that occurs during this delivery will be covered by IKEA.
• Cost for carrying out the initial installation of the IKEA appliance. However, if an IKEA appointed Service Provider or its authorized service partner repairs or replaces the appliance under the terms of this guarantee, the appointed Service Provider or its authorized service partner will reinstall the repaired appliance or install the replacement, if necessary.

These restrictions do not apply to fault-free work carried out by a qualified specialist using our original parts in order to adapt the appliance to the technical safety specifications of another EU country.
