Temperature setting
The temperature is set with the temperature knob. The numbers on the knob do not show the
temperature. A high number gives a lower temperature. 0 means that the appliance is switched off. 4
indicates normal temperature. Select 4
–6 for a low temperature. Select 4-1 for a higher temperature.
Placing food
Do not pack food too tightly together to ensure good air circulation.
Food should be stored in sealed packs, so that it does not dry out or emit moisture.
Do not put in hot food, this will raise the temperature in the compartment and consume more
electricity.
Do not open the door unnecessarily; this also increases consumption of electricity
.
WARNING
:
Never use electric equipment inside the appliance.
Packaging and transport
Memorise how each part and accessory is positioned when unpacking. If the appliance is to be
repacked, do the same and check carefully before transport.
Do not lift or pull the door or handle during transport.
The appliance must not be inclined at more than 45° during transportation.
Avoid strong vibrations
and knocks.
Defrosting
Ice reduces the refrigeration capacity and increases consumption of electricity. Defrosting is necessary
when the ice becomes 5 mm thick. Follow the instructions below. Take out all the food. Take out the
boxes and shelves. Unplug the power cord. Open the door and allow the ice to melt. Wipe up the melted
water with a dry cloth
.
WARNING:
Do not use any other methods to speed up the defrosting process.
This could damage the refrigeration
system
.
Power failure
During a power cut the appliance can stay cold for several hours, even during the summer.
Stoppage during power failure. Do not put in any new food, and avoid opening the door.
If a power cut is planned, you can freeze water to ice and place it at the top of the compartment. .
Take out any perishable food if you expect to be temporarily absent. Close the door properly.
If you expect to be away for a longer period, empty the compartment and pulll out the plug. Defrost,
clean the insides, and leave the door open.
Pull out the plug and clean the compartment well if you are not going to use the appliance for a
long time. Leave the door open to prevent unpleasant smell.
IMPORTANT:
Do not switch off the appliance unnecessarily. This can shorten its lifespan. Wait at least 5 minutes
after pulling out the plug before plugging it in again.
Do not splash or flush water on the appliance
– risk of oxidation and malfunction. Electrical
components, such as switches, should be wiped with a dry cloth.
Do not use strong, abrasive or alkaline detergents, thinner, alcohol, acid, petrol or hot water,
because this can damage plastic parts and painted surfaces.
Fat stains and other dirt can cause internal plastic components to age in advance, so wipe off all
stains as soon as possible.
Check the following points after normal maintenance.
-
Are any electrical components or wires damaged or missing?
-
Does the plug fit easily into the mains socket?
-
Does the plug get hot?
WARNING:
Remove the door seal before scrapping. Old products must be disposed off in accordance with local
regulations.
