Switching the appliance ON and OFF

Before using for the first time

The stainless steel surfaces and trim are covered in a protective sheeting for transport.

^Do not remove the sheeting until the appliance has been installed in its final location. To peel the sheeting off, start at one of the upper corners.

^Next, coat the stainless steel surfaces with a special stainless steel product (which is available through customer service).

^Clean the inside of the appliance and the accessories with warm water and some mild soap. Dry with a soft cloth.

It is very important to let the appliance stand for 30 to 60 minutes after transport before you plug it in for the first time. Failure to do so can prevent the appliance from functioning properly!

Switching the appliance ON

The refigerator and freezer sections can be switched on separately, so that you can choose which sections you want on at a given time.

Refigerator section

^Press the ON/OFF button for the refrigerator section.

You will see the temperature display for the refrigerator section come on. The refrigerator will now start cooling, and

the interior light will come on when you open the door.

Freezer section

^Press the ON/OFF button for the freezer section.

You will see flashing bars in the temperature display for the freezer section, which will now start cooling.

Allow the appliance to run for a few hours before placing food in it. This will ensure that the temperature is sufficiently low.

Cool pack

Place the cool pack in the top drawer of the freezer section or, to save space, on the freezer tray (may vary by model). The cool pack will be at its most effective after it has been in the freezer for approximately 24 hours.

Switching the appliance OFF

^Press each ON/OFF button, so that the temperature display goes out.

The cooling process is now switched off. If this does not happen, then the safety lock is engaged.

12

Switching the appliance ON and OFF

Safety lock

The safety lock can be activated to prevent the appliance from being switched off inadvertently.

Activating and deactivating the safety lock

^Hold down the superfreeze button for approx. 5 seconds.

The indicator light for the superfreeze button flashes and the temperature display shows ;.

^Now press the superfreeze button again.

The display will show ;.

^Now, by pressing the set temperature buttons, you can choose between ; 0 and ;1:

0 Safety lock is deactivated,

1: Safety lock is activated.

^To save the setting, press the super freeze button.

When the safety lock is activated, the safety lock indicator light will read X.

^To exit from set mode, press the ON/OFF button for the freezer section. Otherwise it will automatically revert to normal mode in approx. 2 minutes.

Switching off for extended periods of time

If the appliance is not needed for a longer period of time (such as when you are away on holiday), then:

^switch the appliance off,

^unplug it from the socket,

^close the shut-off valve (may vary by model),

^clean the appliance out, and

^leave the doors ajar, to air the appliance.

If, in preparation for longer absences, you fail to clean the appliance and leave the doors ajar, there is the risk of mould and odours building up in the appliance.

13

The right temperature

It is important to set the right temperature for storing food in the appliance. If food is not stored at the right temperature, bacteria can multiply rapidly, causing the food to spoil. This can be prevented by selecting the right temperature. Temperature affects the rate at which bacteria can multiply, and reducing the temperature can slow down this process.

The temperature in the appliance will rise for the following reasons:

if you open the door frequently, or keep it open too long,

if you put too much food in it,

if you put food in it that is too warm,

if the room temperature is too high. The appliance is designed for use within a certain temperature range (room temperature), and should not be used outside this range.

. . . in the refigerator

We recommend a temperature of 4 °C (39 F) in the refrigerator section.

Automatic cold air circulation (DynaCool)

Whenever the refrigerator section switches on for cooling, the fan is automatically switched on as well. This ensures that cold air is evenly distributed throughout the refigerator, so that all the food stored inside will be chilled to approximately the same temperature.

. . . in the freezer

For freezing fresh food and storing frozen food for longer periods of time, the temperature needs to be at least -18 °C (0 F). At this temperature, most bacteria stop growing. However, if the temperature rises above -10 °C (14 F), the bacteria can become active, which will make the food start to deteriorate. This is why any partially or completely thawed food must never be refrozen until it has been cooked. High cooking temperatures will kill most bacteria.

Setting the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer sections

The temperatures for the refrigerator section and the freezer section are set independently, using the buttons to the right and left of the temperature displays.

Press the

+ button: to increase the temperature (it gets warmer)

- button: to decrease the temperature (it gets colder)

The temperature being set will flash in the display.

14

The right temperature

When you press the buttons, you will see the following changes in the display:

When first pressed: The last temperature selected flashes.

Each subsequent press of the button: adjusts the temperature in increments of 1 °C / 1 F.

Holding down the button will continue to adjust the temperature.

Approximately 5 seconds after you release the button, the current actual temperature of the refrigerator or freezer will automatically be shown.

If you have changed the temperature, you will need to wait approx. 6 hours if the appliance is not very full, or approx. 24 hours if it is full, before checking the temperature display again, because it will take this long for the display to show an accurate temperature. If, after this amount of time, the temperature is too high or too low, you will need to adjust it again.

Temperature range

The temperature can be selected from within the following ranges:

in the refrigerator section from 2 °C to 11 °C (36 to 52 F)

in the freezer section from -14 °C to -26°C (8 to -15 F)

The room temperature and the installation location can affect the time it takes for the appliance to drop to the coldest temperature. If the room temperature is too high, it may not be

possible for the appliance to reach the lowest temperature.

Temperature displays

During normal operation, the temperature display shows the temperature in the middle of the refrigerator section and the temperature in the warmest part of the freezer section.

If the temperature in the appliance is not within the range that the appliance is able to display, (below 0 °C (32 F) for the refrigerator section; above 0 °C

(32 F) for the freezer), you will see flashing bars in the temperature displays.

The temperature displays flash under the following conditions:

whenever a different temperature is being set,

whenever the temperature in the appliance has risen by several degrees, indicating that the appliance is warming up too much.

This short-term loss of cooling is no cause for concern in the following cases:

when the door has been left open for a while, for example to take out or put in a large amount of food,

when fresh food is being frozen.
