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 bottom compartment in the door,
the divider and the cover over drawer
must not be moved as it has an impact
on the air circulation.
Shelves with a raised edge should be
placed with the raised edge facing the
rear wall of the cabinet.
The lower "Natura-fresh" drawer is
fitted with two moveable dividers inside
with five different possibilities to
separate different foodstuffs.

The vegetable drawer has a removable
ventilation edging to increase the
circulation of air and reduce the risk of
condensation.

Quick chill shelf:
The lower Quick chill shelf can be
placed in one of the upper grooves. To
maintain the best performance the
shelf should be placed in the second
groove from the top.

Bottle- and can holder
Thesideofthebottleandcanholderis
moveable to enable a more flexible
placement of cans and bottles in front
of the grid. To allow the holder to be
moved easier, when moving sideways,
press the shelf backwards.
During chilling of cans or bottles the
article should be centrally placed in
front of the grid to obtain the best
chilling effect.
The bottle support can be pulled out
when chilling larger bottles.
For a description of this functions start
and stop, see under heading Quick
Chill.

14

Dismantling of the bottle- and can
holder.
Take out the Quick Chill shelf with
holder from the cabinet.
To loosen the holder from the shelf,
bend the hooks/brackets that surround
the backside of the shelf.

Freezer drawers
The freezer drawers make it possible
to quickly an d easily find the food
package you want. To gain space, the
drawers can be removed and the
products can be put directly on the
shelves. On all shelves, except the top
shelf, it is possible to place products
that protrude 20 mm from the front
edge. This allows maximum use of the
available space.
Do not remove the bottom drawer. It is
required to assure proper air
circulation.

Freezer tray
Use the freezer tray to freeze berries
and vegetables. After about 4 hours
the food will be thoroughly frozen and
can then be packaged normally. Food
that is frozen in this way will not stick

together, enabling you to use only the
amount required.

Ice cubes
Fill the ice tray to max. 3/4 since water
expands as it freezes. Release the ice
cubes by twisting the ice tray.
If ice cubes are kept for a long time,
they will dry out and the taste is
affected. Thus, throw away old ice
cubes and prepare new ones when
needed.

Thawing
It is best to thaw foods in refrigerator.

Place the foodstuff on a plate with a
raised edge to prevent liquids from
running out. Easily thawed foods can
be placed in room temperature or in
cold water. When using a microwave
oven to thaw foodstuff, follow the
manufacturer's instructions.

HINT and TIPS

Saving energy

· Pay careful attention to where the
cabinet is placed. See the section
"Installation". When installed correctly,
the cabinet will consume less energy.

· Try to avoid keeping the door open
for long periods, or opening the door
too frequently as warm air will enter the
cabinet, and cause the compressor to
switch on unnecessarily often.

· Ensure there are no obstructions
preventing the door from closing
properly.

· Thaw frozen food in the fridge. This
will ensure safer defrosting of foods
and reduce the work of the
refrigeration unit

· It is advisable to periodically clean the
refrigeration system at the back of the
appliance with a duster or vacuum
cleaner.

· Always leave warm food to cool
down to room temperature before
placing in the fridge.

· Food which is to be frozen (when
cool) should be placed in the fridge
before being transfered to the freezer.

· Avoid unnecessary frosting in the
cabinet by packing all foodstuffs into
airtight packages before placing them
in the freezer.

· Carefully follow the advice on freezing
products in the section "Using the
freezer". This will prevent wasting
energy.

· Do not set the temperature too low in
the freezer. A suitable temperature is in
the range of -18°C to -20°C .

· Defrost the freezer when the frost
layer reaches a thickness of 3-5 mm.

· Make sure the door gasket is
complete and always clean.

Food Storage

· To obtain the best results from your

appliance, neither hot foods nor liquids
which may evaporate, should be
placed in the larder compartment.

· Avoid buying frozen food if you can

not store it straight away. The use of
an insulated container is advisable.
When you arrive home place the
frozen food in the freezer immediately.

· Ensure that food placed in the freezer

is dated and labelled and used in date
order to ensure that food is consumed
at its best. Remove suspect food from
you refrigerator and clean, refer to
cleaning and maintenance.

Protect the environment

· Hand over the cabinet packaging
and discarded fridges and freezers to a
recycling station. Contact your local
council or Environmental Health office
for more information.

· Keep foodstuff in re-usable
containers. Cut down on disposable
material as much as possible.

· When cleaning the cabinet, use a
mild washing-up detergent.

· Follow the advice in the section
"Saving energy"

· The door gasket and coolant used in
this cabinet will not harm the ozone
layer.

· All parts in the packaging can be
recycled.

· The cabinet has been designed for
easy dismantling and subsequent
recycling.

Do not unnecessarily open the cabinet,
except when the power cut seems to be
long, in which case the food products should
be moved to another cabinet that works. If
the frozen products are still hard following the
power cut, they may be immediately refrozen.

fresh, they may be used, however they
should be prepared before re-freezing or
eating them.

Sound level in cabinet is too
high.

The refrigerating system will always produce
some sounds. A pulsing sound is heard when
coolant is pumped inside the cooling pipes.
A ticking sound from the thermostat can be
heard when the compressor switches on and
off. The sound level varies depending on the
operation of the cabinet.
If you feel the sound level is incorrect:
Make sure the pipes at the back of the
cabinet not touch each other. Carefully bend
them if they do.
If the cushion spacers (between the cabinet
wall and pipes) come loose, put them back in
place again.
Carefully follow the instructions in the chapter
"Installing the cabinet".
