Manual

Food Storage

• To obtain the best results from your appliance,

neither hot foods nor liquids which may

evaporate, should be placed in the larder

compartment.

• Keep the time between buying chilled food and

placing it in your fridge as short as possible.

• Do not push food together too much, try to allow

air to circulate around each item.

• Do not store food uncovered.

• Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and

clean, refer to ‘Maintenance and Cleaning’.

• Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated

and labelled and used in date order to ensure

that food is consumed at its best.

• Avoid buying frozen food if you cannot store it

straight away. The use of an insulated container is

advisable. When you arrive home place the frozen

food in the freezer immediately.

• The symbols on the drawers show different types

of frozen goods. The numbers indicate storage

times in months for the appropriate types of

frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of

the indicated storage time is valid depends on the

quality of the foods and pre-treating before

freezing.

Energy Saving Advice

• Do not install the cabinet close to sources of

heat, i.e. boiler or radiator.

• Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated

room and make sure that the air openings of the

cabinet are not obstructed.

• Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by

packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages

before placing them in the freezer.

• Always leave warm food to cool down to room

temperature before placing in the fridge or

freezer.

• Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be

placed in the fridge before being transferred to

the freezer.

• Thaw frozen food in the fridge. This will ensure

safer defrosting of foods and reduce the work of

the refrigeration unit.

• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long

periods, or opening the door too frequently as

warm air will enter the cabinet, and cause the

compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.

• Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the

door from closing properly.

In the Event of a Power Failure

If there is a power failure during the storage of frozen

foods, keep the door closed. If the temperature within

your freezer should rise do not refreeze the food

without checking it’s condition. The following guide-

lines should assist you.

Ice Cream:

Once thawed should be discarded.

Fruit and Vegetables:

If soft should be cooked and used up.

Bread and Cakes:

Can be refrozen without danger.

Shellfish:

Should be refrigerated and used up quickly.

Cooked Dishes:

i.e. casseroles, should be refrigerated and used up.

Large Pieces of Meat:

Can be re-frozen providing there are ice crystals

remaining within them.

Small Joints:

Should be cooked and then re-frozen as cooked

dishes.

Chicken:

Should be cooked and re-frozen as a fresh dish.

HINTS AND TIPS

INSTALLATION

Positioning

This appliance should only be installed at a location

where the ambient temperature corresponds to the

climate classification indicated on the rating plate,

which is located at the left on the inside of the

SN +10°C to + 32°C

N +16°C to + 32°C

ST +18°C to + 38°C

The appliance should be located in a dry

atmosphere, out of direct sunlight and away from

continuous heat and extreme temperature, e.g. not

next to a boiler or radiator, or in a very cold room e.g.

an outhouse. If these temperatures are exceeded i.e.

warmer or colder, then the appliance may not

operate correctly.

How often should I defrost my freezer? Verified

For optimal use of the freezer it is best to defrost it once every 3-6 months. Ice on the inside of the freezer reduces the available space and increases the use of energy. The thawing process can be accelerated by placing hot water in the drawer or placing bowls of hot water in the freezer.

My fridge-freezer makes a bubbling sound, is that normal? Verified

Modern fridge-freezers make use of an environmentally friendly cooling agent. During the cooling process this substance turns into a gas, which can cause a bubbling and/or hissing sound. This is perfectly normal.

I bought a new fridge-freezer, can I turn it on immediately? Verified

No, the fridge-freezer needs to stand in an upright position for at least 4 hours before it can be turned on. This is because the coolant liquid needs to settle.

Is it normal that water or ice drops are forming on the back wall of my fridge-freezer? Verified

Yes, this a completely normal phenomenom. The moisture that enters the fridge-freezer with warm air or products will settle on the coldest part, being the back wall. Because the back wall can reach temperatures below freezing, the drops will freeze from time to time. When the fridge-freezer is idle the drops will thaw and flow to the drain of the fridge-freezer.

You can determine the age of your product by using the serial number. This can be found on your device. The first character of the serial number indicates a year (ie: 1 = 2001) and the two characters after that indicate the week of production (ie: 35 = week 35 of that year). So the serial number 13500016 indicates that the machine is from week 35 of the year 2001.

How long does it take for my refrigerator to reach the set temperature after I turn it on? Verified

This depends on the size, age and model of the refrigerator. It may take several hours to 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the set temperature. The process can be accelerated by placing non-perishable goods in the refrigerator. The temperature in the refrigerator cannot be measured properly by feeling the air inside. The best way to tell if the refrigerator has reached the set temperature is to place a glass of water in the refrigerator with a thermometer in it.

There is condensation in my refrigerator, why is that? Verified

There can be several causes. The door gasket can be defective, allowing outside air into the refrigerator. It's also possible that the refrigerator is not level, preventing the door from closing correctly. Another cause is a large difference between the temperature inside the refrigerator and outside while the door is being opened frequently.

Can I put warm food or drinks in my fridge-freezer? Verified

Preferably not. The temperature in your fridge-freezer will rise, which negatively impacts the other items that are stored inside.

There is mold on the rubber seals of my fridge-freezer, what should I do? Verified
