BEFORE USING YOUR FREEZER
- When the appliance is situated for the first time or after transportation, keep your fridge in the upright position for 12 hours before connecting to the mains electricity. Otherwise, you may damage the compressor.
- Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the first time; the smell will fade away when your fridge starts to cool.
HOW TO OPERATE THE APPLIANCE
Thermostat setting
The freezer thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the compartments. By rotating the knob from position 1 to 5, colder temperatures can be obtained. “•” position shows thermostat is closed and no cooling will be available.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not try to rotate knob beyond 1 position it will stop your appliance.
Freezer thermostat setting;
1 - 2 : For short-term storage of food in the freezer compartment,
you can set the knob between minimum and medium position.
3 - 4 : For long-term storage of food in the freezer compartment,
you can set knob to medium position.
5 : For freezing fresh foods. The appliance will run for colder temperatures.
NOTE:
The ambient temperature, temperature of the freshly stored food and how often the door is opened, affects the temperature in the freezer compartments. If required, change the temperature setting.

FOOD STORAGE
- This freezer is used for freezing fresh foods and for storing frozen foods for the period of time indicated on packaging, and for making ice cubes.
- For freezing fresh food; wrap and seal fresh food properly, that is the packaging should be air tight and shouldn’t leak. Special freezer bags, aluminium foil (heavy grade), polythene bags and plastic containers are ideal. While freezing food; The maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the appliance label.
- For optimum appliance performance to reach maximum freezing capacity , turn knob to 5 position when placing fresh food in the freezer.
- After placing fresh food in the freezer, 24 hours position 5 is generally sufficient, after 24 hours, reset the thermostat to the desired position.
- Attention: In order to save energy, when freezing small amounts of
food, reset the thermostat to the desired position. (Recommendation).
- Do not allow the fresh food to be frozen to come into contact with
the already frozen food.
- Always mark the date and the content on the pack and do not exceed the stated storage time.
- In case of a power failure or malfunction, the freezer compartment will maintain a sufficiently low temperature for food storage. However, avoid opening the freezer door to slow down the temperature rise within the freezer compartment.
- The maximum amount of fresh foods that can be loaded in the freezer within 24 hours is indicated on the rating label (see Freezing Capacity).
- Never place warm food in the freezer compartment.
- When purchasing and storing frozen food products; ensure that the packaging is not damaged.
- The storage time and the recommended temperature for storing frozen foods are indicated on the packaging. For storing and using, follow the manufacturer’s instructions. If no information is provided, food should not be stored for more than 3 months.
- Place frozen food in the freezer compartment as soon as possible after buying it.
- Once the food is thawed, it must not be refrozen; you must cook it as quickly as possible in order to consume or to freeze once again.

- When making ice cubes, fill the ice tray with water and place in freezer compartment. After the water has completely turned into ice, you can twist the tray as shown below to release the ice cubes.
Storage: If you want to use the maximum net capacity, you can remove the drawers and store the items directly on the cooling tubes. This will enable you to make use of the entire volume of the compartment.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
- Disconnect unit from the power supply before cleaning.
- Do not clean the appliance by pouring water on it.
- The freezer compartment should be cleaned periodically using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.
- Clean the accessories separately with soap and water. Do not clean them in the washing machine.
- Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps. After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When the cleaning operations have been completed reconnect the plug of the unit with dry hands.

Instruction manual RBF4
DEFROSTING THE FREEZER
Never use sharp metal tools, unless recommended by manufacturer, for this operation as they can damage the refrigeration circuit.
After a period of time, frost will build up in certain areas in the freezer. The frost, accumulated in the freezer, should be removed periodically (use the plastic scraper if available).
Complete defrosting will become necessary if the frost layer exceeds 3-5 mm to maintain the efficiency of the freezer.
- The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to position “5” to freeze the foods completely. (Recommendation).
- During defrosting, frozen foods should be wrapped in several layers of paper and kept in a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten their storage life. Remember to use these foods within a relatively short period of time.
- Set the thermostat knob to position “•” and switch off the appliance.
- Leave the door open to accelerate defrosting. Remove the defrost water from the compartment.
- If there is defrost water on the freezer floor, you can clear it
away by using a sponge.
- Clean the interior by hand with lukewarm water and a little detergent.
Never use abrasive products or aggressive cleaning agents.
- Dry the inside of the unit, plug on the mains, and set the thermostat knob to position “5”. After 24 hours, reset the thermostat to the desired position.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If your freezer is not working properly, it may be a minor problem, therefore check the following, before calling for after sales service.
The appliance does not operate, Check if;
- There is a power failure.
- The mains plug is not properly plugged in, or is loose.
- The thermostat setting is on position “•“.
- The socket is defective. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know is working into the same socket.
The appliance performs poorly; Check if;
- You have overloaded the appliance.
- The door is not closed perfectly.
- There are not enough ventilation ducts in the kitchen unit as mentioned in the installation manual.
If there is noise;
The cooling gas which circulates in the freezer circuit may make a slight noise (bubbling sound) even when the compressor is not running. Do not worry, this is quite normal. If these sounds are different check if;
- The appliance is installed firmly as described in the installation manual.
- Objects in the appliance are vibrating.
If your fridge is not cooling enough;
Your freezer is designed to operate in the ambient temperature intervals stated in the standards, according to the climate class stated in the information label. We do not recommend operating your freezer out of stated temperatures value limits in terms of cooling effectiveness.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
- When power is off, to prevent any compressor problem you should un-plug the freezer. You should delay plugging in 5 – 10 minutes after you power supply. If you un-plug the freezer for a reason you should wait at least 5 min to plug it back in. It is important for avoiding damage to freezer’s components.
- If you won’t be using your freezer for a long time (such as on summer holidays), please disconnect the plug from the socket. Clean your freezer as per this document and leave the door open to prevent any humidification or odour formation.
- If there is still a problem with your freezer although you have followed the instructions in this book, please contact Caple service.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
1. Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room , but not in direct sunlight and not near a heat source (radiator, cooker.. etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
3. When placing drinks and left-overs on the freezer they must be covered. Otherwise humidity increases in the appliance, therefore the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks and left-overs helps to save smell and taste.
4. When placing food and drinks in to the freezer, open the door as briefly as possible.
5. The door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
