Using your refrigerator

5

12 EN

Thermostat setting button

The interior temperature of your
refrigerator changes for the following
reasons;

• Seasonal temperatures,

• Frequent opening of the door and

leaving the door open for long periods,

• Food put into the refrigerator without
cooling down to the room temperature,

• The location of the refrigerator in the

room (e.g. exposing to sunlight).

• You may adjust the varying interior
temperature due to such reasons by
using the thermostat.

Operating temperatures are controlled by
the thermostat knob and may be set at
any position between 1 and 5 (the
coldest position).
The average temperature inside the
fridge should be around +5°C (+41°F).
Therefore adjust the thermostat to obtain
the desired temperature. Some sections
of the fridge may be cooler or warmer
(such as salad crisper and top part of the
cabinet) which is quite normal. We
recommend that you check the
temperature periodically with a
thermometer to ensure that the cabinet is
kept to this temperature. Frequent door
openings cause internal temperatures to
rise, so it is advisable to close the door
as soon as possible after use.

Using interior compartments

Body shelves: Distance between the
shelves can be adjusted when
necessary.
Crisper: Vegetables and fruits can be
stored in this compartment for long
periods without decaying.
Bottle shelf: Bottles, jars and tins can
be placed in these shelves.

13 EN

Freezing fresh food

• It must be preferred to wrap or cover
the food before placing them in the
refrigerator.

• Hot food must cool down to the room
temperature before putting them in
the refrigerator.

• The foodstuff that you want to freeze
must be fresh and in good quality.

• Foodstuff must be divided into
portions according to the family’s daily

or meal based consumption needs.

• The foodstuff must be packaged in an
airtight manner to prevent them from
drying even if they are going to be
kept for a short time.

• Materials to be used for packaging
must be tear-proof and resistant to
cold, humidity, odor, oils and acids
and they must also be airtight.
Moreover, they must be well closed
and they must be made from easyto­use materials that are suitable for
deep freeze usage.

• Frozen food must be used
immediately after they are thawed and
they should never be re-frozen.

• Please observe the following
instructions to obtain the best results.

1. Do not freeze too large quantities
of food at one time. The quality of
the food is best preserved when it
is frozen right through to the core as
quickly as possible.

2. Placing warm food into the freezer
compartment causes the cooling
system to operate continuously until
the food is frozen solid.

3. Take special care not to mix already
frozen food and fresh food.

Recommendations for
preservation of frozen food

Prepacked commercially frozen food
should be stored in accordance
with the frozen food manufacturer's
instructions for a ( 4 star)
frozen food storage compartment.

• To ensure that the high quality
achieved by the frozen food
manufacturer and the food retailer is
maintained, the following should be
remembered:

1. Put packages in the freezer as quickly
as possible after purchase.

2. Ensure that contents are labeled and
dated.

3. Do not exceed "Use By", "Best
Before" dates on the packaging.

solution of one teaspoon of
bicarbonate of soda to one pint of
water to clean the interior and wipe it
dry.

Make sure that no water enters the

lamp housing and other electrical
items.

If your refrigerator is not going to be

used for a long period of time, unplug
the power cable, remove all food,
clean it and leave the door ajar.

Check door seals regularly to ensure

they are clean and free from food
particles.

To remove door racks, remove all the

contents and then simply push the
door rack upwards from the base.

Dieses Gas ist leicht entflammbar.
Achten Sie also darauf, Kühlkreislauf
und Leitungen während Betrieb und
Transport nicht zu beschädigen.
Bei Beschädigungen halten Sie das
Produkt von potenziellen Zündquellen
(z. B. offenen Flammen) fern und sorgen
für eine gute Belüftung des Raumes, in
dem das Gerät aufgestellt wurde.

Ignorieren Sie diese Warnung, falls

Tipps zum Energiesparen

 Achten Sie darauf, die Türen nur

möglichst kurzzeitig zu öffnen;
lassen Sie die Türen nicht längere
Zeit offen stehen. Bei geöffneten
Türen dringt warme Luft in den
Kühl- oder Tiefkühlbereich ein, das
Gerät braucht mehr Energie zum
Kühlen der Lebensmittel. Öffnen Sie
die Türen daher möglichst selten –
so sparen Sie Energie und lagern
Ihre Lebensmittel bei optimalen
Temperaturen.

 Geben Sie keine warmen Speisen

oder Getränke in den Kühlschrank.

 Überladen Sie den Kühlschrank /

Gefrierschranknicht; die Luft muss frei
zirkulieren können.

 Stellen Sie den Kühlschrank /

Gefrierschranknicht im direkten

Sonnenlicht oder in der Nähe von
Wärmequellen wie Öfen,

Spülmaschinen oder Heizkörpern auf.

 Achten Sie darauf, Ihre Lebensmittel

in verschlossenen Behältern
aufzubewahren.

Das Innere des
Kühlschrank/Gefrierschranks

muss gründlich gereinigt werden.

Installation

3

Der Hersteller haftet nicht, falls die

Angaben in dieser Anleitung nicht
berücksichtigt werden.

Wenn Sie den Kühlschrank
versetzen möchten:

1. Ziehen Sie zuvor den Netzstecker.

Der Kühlschrank sollte geleert und
gesäubert werden, bevor Sie ihn
transportieren oder versetzen.

2. Sichern Sie die beweglichen Teile
im Inneren (z. B. Ablagen, Zubehör,
Gemüsefach etc.) vor dem Verpacken
mit Klebeband, schützen Sie solche
Teile vor Stößen. Umwickeln Sie die
Verpackung mit kräftigem Klebeband
oder stabilen Schnüren, beachten
Sie die Transporthinweise auf der
Verpackung.

3. Originalverpackung und
Schaumstoffmaterialien sollten zum
zukünftigen Transport des Gerätes
aufbewahrt werden.

Vor dem Einschalten

Beachten Sie Folgendes, bevor Sie

Ihren Kühlschrank benutzen:

1. Bringen Sie die beiden Kunststoffkeile
wie nachstehend abgebildet an. Die
Kunststoffkeile sorgen für den nötigen
Abstand zwischen Kühlschrank und
Wand, damit die Luft frei zirkulieren
kann. (Die Abbildung dient lediglich
zur Orientierung und kann daher
etwas von Ihrem Gerät abweichen.)

2. Reinigen Sie das Innere des
Kühlschranks wie im Abschnitt
„Wartung und Reinigung”
beschrieben.

3. Schließen Sie den Netzstecker des
Kühlschranks an eine Steckdose
an. Beim Öffnen der Tür leuchtet die
Innenbeleuchtung auf.

4. Beim Anspringen des Kompressors
sind Geräusche zu hören. Die
Flüssigkeiten und Gase im
Kühlsystem können auch leichte
Geräusche erzeugen, wenn der
Kompressor nicht läuft. Dies ist völlig
normal.

5. Die Vorderkanten des Kühlgerätes
können sich warm anfühlen. Dies
ist normal. Diese Bereiche wärmen
sich etwas auf, damit sich kein
Kondenswasser bildet.
