GB Instruction for use

Cooling

Food storage

The fridge compartment is for the short-term
storage of fresh food and drinks.

Store milk products in the intended
compartment in the refrigerator.

Bottles can be stored in the bottle holder or in
the bottle shelf of the door.

Raw meat is best kept in a polyethylene bag
at the second shelf from the top of the
refrigerator.

Allow hot foods and beverages to cool to
room temperature prior to placing them in the
refrigerator.

Attention

Store concentrated alcohol only standing
upright and tightly closed.

Attention

Do not store explosive substances or
containers with flammable propellant gases
(canned cream, spray cans etc.) in the
appliance. There is a danger of explosion.

Defrosting of the appliance

The fridge compartment defrosts
automatically.
The thawing water flows through the drain
channel (Item 6) into a collection container at
the rear of the appliance (Item 7).
During defrosting, water droplets form at the
back of the fridge due to the evaporator.
If not all of the drops run down, they may
freeze again after defrosting remove them
with a cloth soaked in warm water, but never
with a hard or sharp object.

Check the flow of the thawed water from time
to time.It may become plugged occasionally.
Clean it with a q-tip or similar (see the section
"Cleaning and care").

to the recommendations given on

Making ice cubes

GB Instruction for use

Freezing

Freezing food

The freezing area is marked with
symbol.
You can use the appliance for freezing fresh
food as well as for storing pre-frozen food
Please refer
the packaging of your food.

Do not freeze fizzy drinks, as the bottle may
burst when the liquid in it is frozen.

Be careful with frozen products such as
coloured ice-cubes.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your
appliance in 24 hours. See the rating label.
In order to maintain the quality of the food, the
freezing must be effected as rapidly as
possible.
Thus, the freezing capacity will not be
exceeded, and the temperature inside the
freezer will not rise.

Keep the already deep-frozen food always
separated with freshly placed food.

When deep-freezing hot food, the cooling
compressor will work until the food is
completely frozen. This can temporarily cause
excessive cooling of the refrigeration
compartment.

If you find the freezer door difficult to open just
after you have closed it, don’t worry. This is
due to the pressure difference which will
equalize and allow the door to open normally
after a few minutes.
You will hear a vacuum sound just after
closing
the door. This is quite normal.

Attention

Attention

Fill the ice-cube tray 3/4 full with water and
place it in the freezer.
As soon as the water has turned into ice, you
can take out the ice cubes.
Never use sharp objects such as knives or
forks to remove the ice cubes. There is a risk
of injury!

Let the ice cubes slightly thaw instead, or put
the bottom of the tray in hot water for a short
moment.

Defrosting of the appliance

Excessive build-up of ice will affect the
freezing performance of your appliance.
It is therefore recommended that you defrost
your appliance at least twice a year, or
whenever the ice build-up exceeds 7 mm.
Defrost your appliance when there is only little
or no food in it.

Take out the deep-frozen food from the
drawers. Wrap the deep-frozen food in
several layers of paper, or a blanket, and
keep it in a cold place.
Unplug the appliance or shut off or remove
the fuse to start the defrosting process.
Take out the accessories (like shelf, drawer
etc.) from the appliance (Item 8) and use a
suitable container to collect the thawing water.

Use a sponge or a soft cloth to remove
thawing water if necessary (Item 9).
Keep the door open during defrosting.
For quicker defrosting, place containers with
warm water inside the appliance.
Never use electrical appliances, defrosting
sprays or pointed or sharp-edged objects
such as knives or forks to remove the ice.

After the defrosting is done, clean the inside
(see the section “Cleaning and Care”).

Reconnect the appliance to the mains. Place
the frozen food in the drawers and inside the
freezer.

Normal operating noises

Various functional noises are completely
normal due to the operation of the cooling
system of your appliance;

• Gurgling, hissing, boiling or bubbling noises
are caused by the refrigerant, circulating
inside the cooling system. These noises can
still be heard for a short period of time after
the compressor shuts off.

• Sudden, sharp cracking or popping noises
are caused by the expansion and contraction
of the inside walls or some components inside
the cabinets.

• Buzzing, whirring, pulsating or high-pitched
humming noises are caused by the
compressor. These noises are slightly louder
at the start-up of the compressor and reduce
when the appliance reaches the operating
temperatures.

• A sudden clicking noise is caused by the
solenoid valve, diverting the refrigerant flow
into two different cooling loops, as needed.
