USING THE REFRIGERATOR

USING THE REFRIGERATOR Switching the appliance on 1. Connect the appliance to the mains supply. 2. When the appliance is plugged in at the mains, the refrigerator compartment is normally pre-set to an inside temperature of 5°C. When control light A (Standby) lights up, press symbol A. Adjusting the temperature Instructions on adjusting the temperature can be found in the product information enclosed.

USING THE “FRESHBOX” (if applicable) The refrigerator is fitted with a Freshbox for the proper storage of meat, fish and poultry. The inside temperature of the Freshbox is cooler than the rest of the refrigerator. This means that fresh food (meat and fish) can be stored for a considerably longer period without having to deep-freeze it and without the food’s nutritional value and freshness being affected. The optimum temperature of the Freshbox is obtained from the average temperature setting.
PAGE 3
Freshbox (if applicable) The Freshbox has been specially designed to stay at a low temperature and at the correct humidity so that fresh food (for example meat, fish, fruit and winter vegetables) can be stored for longer. Switching the Freshbox on and off If the Freshbox is switched on, the inside temperature will be around 0°C. The Freshbox can be switched on by pressing the corresponding button (see figure) for at least one second. The symbol lights up to confirm it is switched on.
PAGE 4
USING THE FREEZER (if applicable) The freezer can also be used to freeze fresh food. The amount of fresh food that can be frozen within a 24 hour period is shown on the specification plate. Freezing fresh food • If the freezer compartment has a shelf, arrange the food to be frozen according to Fig. 1, otherwise arrange it according to Fig. 2 if it does not have a shelf.

DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE Before defrosting, disconnect the appliance from the mains supply or switch it off. The refrigerator defrosts automatically. Occasionally, water droplets will appear on the inside rear panel of the refrigerator; this indicates the automatic defrosting phase. The defrost water is automatically drained to a drainage outlet and then collected in a container where it evaporates.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Before any cleaning and maintenance, disconnect the appliance from the mains supply or switch it off. • Clean the refrigerator regularly with a sponge and a solution of lukewarm water and/or neutral cleaning agent. Rinse it and wipe dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaners. • Do not place the glass shelves in water, instead clean them with a damp cloth. • Clean the inside of the freezer compartment during defrosting.

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF PROBLEMS 1. • • • • • • The appliance is not working. Has there been a power cut? Is the mains plug plugged in properly? Is the main switch switched on? Has a fuse blown? Is the mains cable damaged? Is button (A) in standby mode? 2. • • • The temperature in the fridge/freezer compartments is not cool enough. Are the doors shutting properly? Is the appliance positioned close to a heat source? Is the air being prevented from circulating through the ventilation grid? 3.
