Startup / Operation

Intended use
The appliance is intended for use in private households.
The appliance is suitable for cooling perishable foods such as milk, dairy products, meat, fish, eggs, margarine, various spreads and fruit and vegetables that are not sensitive to cold.

Prior to first use

CAUTION:
After transport, the appliance should be left standing upright for about four hours before connecting to the power supply. Nonobservance could lead to malfunc-tion of the cooling system and causes an appliance breakdown.
Clean the appliance interior including all accessory parts. Consider the instructions which we provide in the chapter “Cleaning and maintenance”.

Starting the appliance

• Connect the appliance to the power supply.
• Set the operating conditions. See also the following sections.

Settings
Setting [ 0 ] means that the appliance is in the off state. Turn the temperature control clockwise, starting from this setting; the appliance will turn on automatically.
The power levels [ 1 – 7 ] regulate the different values of the internal temperature.

Power level

1, 2| lowest level, warmest internal temperature
3, 4| medium level, optimal operating temperature
**5, 6, 7***| highest level, coldest internal temperature

*Beware of high setting because the maximum level may already mean “freezing point”.

Basically, the temperature changes depending on the ambient temperature (place of installation), the frequency of opening the door and the equipment.
For initial operation, first set the lowest possible internal temperature (= highest power level) until the appliance has reached the desired operating temperature. It is recommended to reset to a medium power level afterwards, then you can easily make any temperature correction. A high power level also increases energy consumption
The recommended fridge temperature for optimized food storage in the fridge center is approx. 4∼7 degrees.

Interior light
When opening the fridge door, the interior light will turn on automatically.

Equipment
Note that the equipment varies depending on the appliance type.
The various shelves and drawers can be height-adjusted (partially and model- dependent) or removed for individual storage. Practical also for cleaning purposes.

NOTE:
For the most efficient use of energy, place all shelves/drawers in their original positions.

Removing/inserting the shelves
To remove, open the unit door completely, lift the shelf, if necessary, slant slightly and pull it out to the front.

Safely reinsert the shelf at the desired height and push it in until the stop is reached.

Removing/inserting the door racks
To remove the door rack, press it upwards out of the retainer or, depending on the model, first press one side inwards until this side can be pulled out upwards.

Place the door rack flat, press down both sides of the rack so that it locks into the retainer.

Removing/inserting the drawers
To remove the drawer, pull it out to the front, in-cline it if necessary and remove it.

Insert the drawer, if necessary, lift the front part of the drawer slightly and push it in completely.

Egg tray
Depending on the model, a tray for storing eggs is included with the appliances.

Storing food

NOTE : Recommendation!
To guarantee that the temperature is low enough, you should pre-cool the appliance a few times before initial loading foods.
CAUTION:
Always pay attention to the storage instructions on the sales packaging.
Always store food covered or packed to prevent dry-ing-out and transfer of odor or taste onto other food items. You may pack the food with e.g.

• Polyethylene plastic bags or foil
• Plastic bowl with lid
• Special plastic covers with elastic strip
• Aluminum foil

To avoid contamination of food, respect the following instructions:

• Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
• Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems (see “Cleaning and maintenance”).
• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food.
• Two-star frozen-food compartments are suitable for storing pre-frozen food, storing or making ice cream and making ice cubes.
• One- , two- or three-star compartments are not suitable for the freezing of fresh food.
• If the appliance is out of use for long period, fol-low the instructions under “Switching off”.

Temperature zones and storage recommendations
The optimal cooling temperature is around 4∼7 degrees for the central area of the cooling.
Different cooling zones are created by the air circulation. Regardless of the power level, cold air drops off.

• The coldest zone is on the cooling rear wall and in the lower cooling part. Recommended for storing perishable foods such as meat, fish and sausages at around 2∼3 degrees. Be sure to pack food well or cover it appropriately.
• About that it becomes less cold. For dairy prod-ucts such as yoghurt, cheese and co., the center of the cooling is just the right temperature at around 4∼7 degrees.
• Well-packed leftovers or preserves needs less cooling. The upper cooling part at around 6∼8 degrees could be the right place.
• The cooling door is one of the warmest locations. The upper racks are good location for food that needs moderate cooling, such as butter and eggs. There is space for drinks in the lower door racks.
• The vegetable box (depending on model) is suitable for fruit and vegetables at a temperature of around 8 degrees, depending on the cooling tem-perature. To make especially delicate fruits and vegetables feel comfortable, a glass shelf above the drawers retains the falling cold and prevents moisture loss.

Operating noise

Switching off
To switch off the appliance turn the temperature con-trol to the off state.

If the appliance is out of use for long periods:

• Remove the appliance content.
• Disconnect the power supply.
• Defrost (model dependent) and clean the appliance thoroughly (see ”Cleaning and mainte-nance”).
• Leave open the appliance door to avoid formation of mold and unpleased odors.

Tips for energy saving

• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply if it isn’t in use.
• Do not install the appliance near stoves, heaters or other heat sources. In case of higher ambient temperatures, the compressor will run more fre-quently and longer.
• Ensure enough ventilation at the bottom and rear side. Never block ventilation openings.
• Place all shelves, racks or drawers (depending on the model) in their original position.
• Adjust the temperature not colder than necessary.
• Allow warm food to cool before placing it in the appliance.
• Open the appliance door only as necessary.
• Defrost the unit regularly (model dependent).
• The seal of the appliance door must be completely intact, so that the door closes properly.

Cleaning and maintenance

WARNING:

• Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before cleaning and user maintenance.
• Do not use steam cleaners for cleaning the appli-ance; moisture could enter electrical components. Risk of electric shock! Hot steam could damage the plastic parts.
• The unit must be dry before restarting operation.

CAUTION:

• Do not use a wire brush or other sharp, abrasive items.
• Do not use any acidic or abrasive detergents.
• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

Cleaning the appliance including interior
To keep dirt and germs at bay, clean the appliance regularly!

• First clear out the contents of the appliance and store it in a cool place. Remove all moving parts such as shelves or drawers.
• Clean the interior of the appliance, the exterior surfaces and the accessories with lukewarm water and a mild cleaning agent; or with a clean, damp microfiber cloth without cleaning agent.
• Clean the thaw water discharge channel / opening carefully e.g. with a pipe cleaner.
• After everything has dried thoroughly, you can put the appliance back into operation.
• Depending on the model: At least once a year, wipe off the dust that has accumulated on the rear wall of the unit and on the condenser (metal grille). Use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner for this purpose.

Cleaning / replacing the door seal
Regularly check the seal for dirt, damage and air tightness!

Checking the seal for air tightness
Clamp a thin piece of paper at various points for testing. The paper must be equally difficult to pull through at all points.

Cleaning the gasket

• Clean the gasket with clear water only!
• CAUTION, grease and oil makes the seal porous and brittle. Wipe up grease or oil immediately with a damp, clean cloth.

Replacing the seal

• Remove the contents of the appliance and, if necessary, defrost the unit. Pay attention to how the old gasket is attached. Most gaskets are only plugged in.
• Remove the worn gasket rubber by removing it from the groove. Carefully clean the appliance door and the groove below the rubber and remove any adhesive residue.
• Attach the new rubber. If necessary, heat the rubber seal with a hair dryer or hot water and shape it by hand. Start pressing the gasket in one corner and then press it around the door into the groove provided for this purpose.
• Continue to check the seal regularly for dirt and damage!

Defrosting
CAUTION:
Never use metal objects (e.g. knifes) to remove ice from the evaporator, it can be damaged.
During the defrosting process water drops drain off at the back wall of the cooling chamber. The thaw water running through a channel, is collected in a drip tray located on the compressor, from which it then evaporates. Make sure that the defrost water drain channel does not become clogged. A slight formation of ice on the interior rear wall during operation is normal.

A permanently high power level can lead to increased ice formation → set a lower power level and wipe the interior of the appliance dry.

Changing the light
CAUTION:
Do NOT remove the cover of the light. The LED light may be replaced / repaired in case of failure / defect only by an authorized specialist.

Replacing the door hinge
If the appliance door starts to stutter, crack or jam when you open it, it is probably due to a worn or damaged hinge.
It is recommended to replace all door hinges at the same time, otherwise the next repair will soon be beckoning.

• Remove the contents of the appliance and the movable interior parts.
• The upper and lower hinge disassembly is removed as described under “Reversing the door opening”.
• The respective hinge assembly is carried out in reverse order.
• Open and close the appliance door for a test run, readjust the hinges if necessary. In any case, make sure that the door fits tightly and accurately.
