Storage of foodstuffs
In order to achieve the best results with your appliance, please observe the
following rules:
•
Only place foodstuffs in the cooling/freezing compartment after it has
reached the set operation temperature.
•
Do not place uncovered hot foodstuffs or liquids inside the cooling/
freezing compartment.
•
Package or cover foodstuffs, if possible.
•
Do not limit the air circulation inside the cooling/freezing compartment by
overfilling it.
•
Avoid opening the doors frequently or for a prolonged period of time.
•
Wait a few moments before reopening the doors after they have just
been closed.
Note:
The doors of all models close automatically to prevent leaving them open by
mistake. To keep the doors open, open them as far as possible until they lock
in place.
4. Cleaning and care
Cleaning
•
Switch off and unplug the appliance before cleaning or maintenance.
•
Do not clean the appliance with steel wool, strong chemicals, alkali,
abrasive or toxic agents, as they may damage the surface of the
appliance and pose a health hazard.
•
During cleaning, do not approach sharp elements (evaporator,
condenser, etc.) that could cause cutting injuries bare-handed. Always
use protective gloves.
•
Use little or no water during cleaning.
•
The interior of the appliance should be cleaned at least once a month.
To clean the interior, start a defrost process ( Defrosting). After
the process is finished, switch off the appliance and clean it with an
antibacterial cleaning agent and a soft cloth. Wipe with a soft dry cloth.
•
Clean the shelves with a soft damp cloth. Wipe with a soft dry cloth.
•
Have the dust filter of the condenser be pulled out from the gap of top
protective grill, and cleaned frequently (applicable to GFR1400).
•
Have the condenser cleaned approx. every four months by a qualified
professional. For this, the protective grill on top of the appliance must be
removed. Dust accumulated on the surface of the condenser can then be
removed with a brush and a vacuum cleaner. Afterwards, the protective
grill can be reattached.
•
The appliance may only be used again or stored after it is dried
completely.
Defrosting
•
The appliance will defrost itself automatically every 6 hours, or 4 times in
24 hours.
•
When the defrosting is finished, the appliance will enter into dripping
phase.
•
After the complete defrost process is finished, the defrost timer will reset
and start counting to 6 hours again.
Notes:
•
During the defrost process, the appliance will slightly lower the
temperature inside the cooling/freezing compartment, so that the
developed ice can melt. This process is not harmful to the products
stored in the appliance and will generally only take a few minutes. In
cases of severe frost, the process may take a maximum of 30 minutes.
•
The disposal of defrost water is automatic. The water will drip down from
the defrost water outlet into the water collection container at the back of
the appliance and evaporate there.
•
By starting a manual defrosting process, the frequency of defrosting will
not change, only the starting time of the 24-hour defrost cycle. The time
between each following automatic defrost process will always be 6 hours.
2. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged power cord or plug, when the
appliance malfunctions or has been damaged
in any manner.
3. Protect the power cord against damages.
Do not let it hang over sharp edges, do not
squeeze or bend it. Keep the power cord away
from hot surfaces and ensure that nobody can
trip over it.
4. Do not insert fingers or foreign objects in any
opening of the appliance and do not obstruct
the air vents.
5. Protect the appliance against heat. Do not
place close to heat sources such as stoves or
heating appliances.
3. Operation
Positioning
•
Place the appliance on a wide, level, dry, clean and stable surface able
to support the combined weight of the appliance and its content.
•
Ensure that the space reserved for the appliance permits its correct
utilization and maintenance.
•
Place the appliance so that a free air circulation around the condensing
unit is possible.
•
Never place the appliance on its side or turn it upside down, as this may
damage or impair the operation of the cooling unit.
•
After the appliance has been positioned successfully, wait 2 hours before
activating it.
•
If you’re using the appliance for the first time, keep it open to ventilate it
before use.
•
Clean the appliance before first use ( Cleaning and care).
Switching the appliance on/off
•
To switch the appliance on, connect it to the power supply and set the
on/off switch (
I
/
O
) to ON (
I)
. The switch and the control panel will light up.
•
The control panel will now display the current temperature inside
the cooling compartment as well as the compressor symbol (the
compressor symbol will flash for approx. 2 minutes for fridge and 3
minutes for freezer until it lights up permanently).
