Before use |
GB |
Position and clean the cabinet as explained in the section "Installation".
Check that the drain hose at the rear of the cabinet discharges into the drip tray.
Before inserting the power plug into the outlet and switching on the cabinet for the first time, leave it standing upright for about 4 hours. Otherwise the compressor may sustain damage. This time will allow the oil sufficient time to return to the compressor.
Using the fridge |
GB |
To start the fridge and set the correct temperature
Switching on:
Switch on the fridge by pressing the power switch.
Setting the temperature
Press the buttons until the desired temperature flashes in the temperature display (The temperature can be set between +1°C and +9°C.)
"+" raises the temperature. "-" lowers the temperature.
Once set, the temperature display shows "-" until the temperature inside the fridge reaches +9°C or below. Allow the cabinet to run for a period of 24 hours whenever the temperature setting is changed. This will allow the temperature to stabilise inside the cabinet.
It is not necessary to reset the temperature when the cabinet is switched on after it has been out of use. The thermostat recalls the previously set temperature.
Temperature inside the fridge
A suitable temperature inside the fridge is approx. +5°C. If the thermostat control is set to a too cold temperature, food with a high water content may start to freeze if it has been placed in the coldest places in the fridge. The picture shows the coldest and warmest places inside the fridge.
(+ warm, - cold)
Meat, fish and milk should be put in the coldest part of the cabinet.
The temperature will be affecteed by:
·How often the door is opened
·How much food is stored
·Position of the appliance (See chapter Installation)

Measuring the temperature
If the temperature is measured using a standard, single thermometer, this should be put in a glass of water centrally placed inside the cabinet. This will reflect the temperature inside the food products. Do not place the thermometer hanging or lying directly on the shelf.
Hints:
·Distribute foodstuffs to allow cold air to circulate freely between the products.
·Do not place food products directly against the cooling plate on the rear wall since they may freeze in this case.
·Also never put warm products into the cabinet. Wait until they have cooled down.
·Cover all foods properly to avoid odours and flavours from tainting other food.
Switching off
Switch off the cabinet by pressing the power switch. Keep the button pressed for approx. 1 second.
Power to the cabinet is completely
interrupted only when the power plug is disconnected.
Alarms and other features
Door open alarm
If the fridgedoor remains open for more than 5 minutes, the red warning lamp starts flashing and an audible alarm sounds.
To switch off the alarm:
Press the "alarm shut-off button". The red warning lamp goes out when the door is closed.
Action cool
Use Action Cool to refrigerate a large quantity of products. When Action Cool is switched on, the temperature is automatically set to +2°C.
"A" is then displayed in the temperature display and the yellow indicator lamp lights. After about 6 hours, Action Cool is switched off and the temperature gradually returns to the previously set temperature. It is possible to switch off Action Cool manually by pressing the Action Cool button once more.
Cabinet interior
The shelves and door compartments are removable and can easily be re-arranged.
Certain shelves must be lifted up by the rear edge to enable them to be removed.
The lower door compartment and the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer must not be moved. They are required for proper air circulation inside the cabinet.
Shelves with a raised edge should be placed with the raised edge facing the rear wall of the cabinet, and thus prevent food products from touching the cooling plate.

Using the freezer |
GB |
To start the freezer and set the correct temperature
Switching on:
Switch on the freezer by pressing the power switch. The alarm sounds if the temperature inside the freezer reaches room temperature. Turn off the alarm by pressing the switch-off button.
Setting the temperature
Press the buttons until the desired temperature blinks on the temperature display. (The temperature can be set between -15°C and -24°C.)
"+" increases the temperature. "-" decreases the temperature.
Once set, the temperature display shows the current temperature inside the freezer.
Allow the cabinet to run for a period of 24 hours whenever the temperature setting is changed. This will allow the temperature to stabilise inside the cabinet.
It is not necessary to reset the temperature when the cabinet is switched on after it has been out of use. The thermostat recalls the previously set temperature.

Temperature inside the freezer
To ensure that foodstuff will keep for a long time, be sure that the temperature inside the freezer is -18°C or below. Please note, however, that the energy consumption increases as the temperature decreases. The built-in temperature display shows the warmest temperature inside the freezer. If the temperature is measured using a thermometer, put it between the products since this will reflect the real temperature in the frozen products. It is normal that the built-in temperature display shows a temperature slightly above that measured in other ways.
Switching off
Switch off the cabinet by pressing the power switch. |
