CONTROLS

Appliance controls

The control panel is shown in gure 10. For reference it is also shown

below:

1 — Light

2 — Temperature control dial

Adjust temperature inside the appliance

Turn the dial to adjust the temperature in the appliance:

OFF/0 position Appliance is o

Setting 1 The highest temperature inside the appliance

(warmer)

Settings 2-6 Medium temperature inside the appliance

Setting 7 The lowest temperature inside the appliance

(cooler)

Note:

• The temperature control dial in your appliance can be marked dif-

ferently than in this manual. The general principle of operation is

described above.

• If there is no position marked "OFF" or "0” on the dial, turn o your

appliance by unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet. Before

unplugging set the lowest setting on the temperature control dial.

- 15 -

Additional information on the temperature

• The temperature inside the appliance is inuenced by many factors.

How you set the temperature control dial depends on the ambient

temperature, sun exposure, how often you open the door and the

amount of food stored. The middle setting of the dial is most optimal

in most cases.

• Do not put food into the fridge freezer before it has reached its oper-

ating temperature, which takes minimum 4 hours.

• Do not change the temperature settings due to the change in the

season of the year. The ambient temperature increase will be detect-

ed by the sensor and the compressor will be switched on automati-

cally for a longer period of time in order to maintain the temperature

set inside the chambers.

• The slight changes in temperature are perfectly normal and may oc-

cur, for instance during the storage of great quantities of fresh prod-

ucts in the fridge, or when the door is open for a longer period of

time. This will not aect the condition of the stored foodstu, and the

temperature will quickly return to its set value.

LIGHTING

This section applies to units factory equipped with incandescent lightbulb

and selected appliances equipped with LED lighting with E14 thread.

Replace the light bulb

• Set the knob to "OFF", then unplug the appliance.

• Remove the bulb cover (Fig. 18).

• Replace the bulb with one having identical parameters as the factory

installed bulb (E14 thread, 220-240V, maximum dimensions: 26 mm

diameter, 55 mm length).

• Replace the bulb cover.

• Bulbs of a higher or lower power should not be used, only use bulbs

of the specication given above.

Note:

• The light bulb must not be used for room illumination.

• If Figure 18 is not shown in this manual, light source can only be

replaced by a qualied service technician.

- 16 -

OPERATION AND FUNCTIONS

Storage of food in the fridge-freezer

• The products should be placed on plates, in containers or packed in

food wrap. Distribute them evenly over the shelves.

• If the food contacts the rear wall, it may cause frosting or wetting of

the products.

• Do not put dishes with hot food into the fridge

• Products which absorb avours easily such as butter, milk, white

cheese and products with intense avour, such as sh, smoked meat,

hard cheese must be placed on shelves, packed in food wrap or in

tightly sealed containers.

• The storage of vegetables containing signicant quantities of water

will cause the deposition of condensation on the vegetable contain-

ers, it does not impact on the proper functioning of the fridge.

• Before putting the vegetables into the fridge, dry them well.

• Excessive moisture shortens the shelf life of vegetables, especially

the leafed vegetables.

• Do not wash the vegetables before storing in the refrigerator. Wash-

ing removes the natural protection, therefore it is better to wash the

vegetables directly before consumption.

• It is recommended to place the products in freezer drawers 1, 2, 3*

up to natural loading capacity (Fig. 11a / 11b).**

1. Packed products

2. Shelf

3. Natural loading capacity

• Stacking of products on the freezer shelves is acceptable.*

• It is acceptable to place products beyond the natural loading capacity

by 20-30 mm.**

• In order to increase the loading capacity of the freezer chamber and

allow the stacking of products on the freezer evaporator wire shelves

up to maximum height it is possible to remove drawers 1 and 2.*

Freezing food**

• Practically all the food products, except for vegetables consumed

raw, such as lettuce can be frozen.

• Only food products of the highest quality, divided into small portions

for single use, should be frozen.

• Products should be packed in materials that are odourless, resistant

to air and moisture penetration, and not susceptible to fat. Plastic

bags, polyethylene and aluminium sheets are the best wrapping ma-

terials.

• The packaging should be tight and should stick to the frozen prod-

ucts. Do not use glass containers.

• Keep fresh and warm foodstu at ambient temperature away from

the products, which have already been frozen.

• We advise you not to place more of fresh food at a time to the freezer

per day (see table witch technical specication).

- 17 -

• In order to maintain optimum quality of the frozen food, reorganise

the food that is in the middle of the freezer, so that it does not touch

the products that are not yet frozen.

• It is recommended that you move the already frozen products to one

side and place the fresh products that are to be frozen on the oppo-

site side, as close to the rear and side walls as possible.

• To freezing products, use space marked

• Bear in mind that the temperature in the freezer is aected by sev-

eral factors, including the ambient temperature and the quantity of

food products in the chamber, the frequency of opening the door, the

amount of frost in the freezer, and the thermostat setting.

• If you cannot open the freezer door immediately after closing it, al-

low 1-2 minutes for the negative pressure to compensate, and try

again to open the door.

The storage time for frozen products depends on their quality before

freezing when fresh, and on the storage temperature. The following stor-

age periods are recommended when the temperature of -18°C or lower

is maintained:

Products Months

Beef 6-8

Veal 3-6

Giblets 1-2

Pork 3-6

Poultry 6-8

Eggs 3-6

Fish 3-6

Vegetables 10-12

Fruit 10-12

Do not store frozen food in rapid cooling chamber. Ice cubes can be pre-

pared and stored in this chamber.

Note: If the appliance does not have a freezer compartment (

), it

is not suitable for freezing foodstus.

USING THE REFRIGERATOR

EFFICIENTLY

Practical everyday tips

• Do not place fridges or freezers next to radiators, heaters, stoves or

in direct sunlight.

• Make sure that air vents are not covered up and clean the dust o

them once or twice a year.

• Select the right temperature: 6 to 8°C in your refrigerator and -18°C

in your freezer is sucient.

• When on holiday, turn up the temperature in your fridge.

• Only open your fridge or freezer when necessary. It helps if you know

what food each contains and where it is located. Return food to the

fridge or freezer as soon as possible after you have used it so that it

does not warm up too much.

• Wipe the inside of your fridge regularly with a cloth soaked in a mild

detergent. Appliances which are not self-defrosting will require regu-

lar defrosting. Do not allow frost layers thicker than 10 mm to form.

• Keep the seal around the door clean, otherwise it will not shut prop-

erly. Always replace broken seals.

Understanding the stars

Temperature is at least -6°C; sucient to store frozen food

for about a week. Drawers or compartments marked with

one star used to be a feature of (mostly) cheaper fridges.

Food can be stored at -12°C or below for 1-2 weeks without

losing its taste. Not suitable for freezing food.

This rating is mainly used to store foods at -18°C or below.

Can also be used to freeze up to 1 kilogram of fresh food.

This appliance is suitable for storing foods at -18°C or be-

low and freezing larger quantities of fresh foods.

- 19 -

Practical tips

Due to the natural circulation of the air in the appliance, there are dif-

ferent temperature zones in the refrigerator chamber.

• The coldest area is directly above the vegetables drawers. Use this

area for all delicate and highly perishable food e.g.:

- Fish, meat, poultry

- Sausage products, ready meals

- Dishes or baked goods containing eggs or cream

- Fresh dough, cake mixtures

- Pre-packed vegetable and other fresh food with a label stating it should

be kept at a temperature of approx 4OC.

• The warmest area is in the top section of the door. Use this for storing

butter and cheese.

Food that should not be stored in a refrigerator

• Not all food is suitable for storing in the refrigerator, particularly:

- Fruit and vegetables which are sensitive to cold, such as bananas,

avocado, papaya, passion fruit, aubergines, peppers, tomatoes and cu-

cumbers.

- Fruit which is not yet ripe

- Potatoes

Warning:

Example of storing the food - see gure 12.

To achieve the most eective food preservation for the longest possible

time and to avoid wasting any food, position the products as shown in

Figure 12. In addition, this gure illustrates the layout of drawers, bas-

kets and shelves, which allows the most ecient use of energy.

Optimal temperature and storage conditions will extend product shelf

life and optimize electricity consumption. Optimal storage temperature

range should be stated on the food product packaging.

- 20 -

DEFROSTING, WASHING AND

MAINTENANCE

Never clean the product’s casing or plastic parts using solvents or strong,

abrasive detergents (e.g. washing powders or creams)! Use mild liquid

detergents and soft cloths only. Do not use sponges.

Defrosting the fridge***

• Frost settles on the rear wall of the fridge chamber. It is removed

automatically. During the defrosting, the condensate, which contains

contaminants may clog the opening in the through. Should it occur,

carefully unclog the opening with the cleaning plug (g. 13).

• The appliance operates in cycles: it refrigerates (then the frost set-

tles on the rear wall), and defrosts (water ows down the rear wall)

• Disconnect the appliance from the mains before cleaning by remov-

ing the plug from the mains socket or switching o the fuse. Prevent

water from penetrating the control panel or the light.

• Do not use defrosting aerosols. They may cause the formation of an

explosive mixture, or contain solvents which may damage the plastic

components of the appliance and even be harmful to health.

• Make sure the water used for cleaning does not ow into the evapo-

ration container through the discharge opening.

• The whole appliance, except for the door gasket must be cleaned

with a mild cleaning detergent. The door gasket should be cleaned

with water and wiped dry.

• Wash all the accessories (vegetable containers, door shelves, glass

shelves, etc.).

Defrosting the freezer**

• It is recommended to combine defrosting the appliance with washing

it.

• Excessive accumulation of ice on the freezing areas impairs the ap-

pliance’s freezing capacity and increases the energy consumption.

• Defrost the appliance at least once or twice a year. In case of a higher

ice build-up, defrosting must be carried out more frequently.

• If there is food in the freezer, set the knob to the max. position about

4 hours before the planned defrosting. This will ensure the possibility

of storing the food at the ambient temperature for a longer time.

• After taking the food out of the freezer, put it in a container, wrap it

with several layers of paper, a blanket and store it at a cool place.

• The defrosting operation should last as short as possible. Long stor-

age of food at the ambient temperature shortens their shelf life.

- 21 -

Defrost the freezer chamber following steps:**

• Switch of the appliance using the control panel and pull the plug out

from the socket..

• Open the door and remove the food from the freezer.

• Depending on the model, pull out the drainage tube located in the

bottom of the freezer compartment and place a suitable vessel un-

derneath.

• Leave the door open, this will speed up the defrost process. Addi-

tionally, a pot with hot water (not boiling) may be placed inside the

freezer compartment.

• Wash the interior of the freezer and wipe it dry.

• Switch on the appliance as per the relevant point in the manual.

Automatic fridge defrosting****

The fridge chamber has been equipped with an automatic defrosting

function. However, frost may settle on the rear wall of the fridge cham-

ber. This happens usually, when large quantities of fresh food products

are stored in the fridge.

Automatic fridge defrosting****

The freezer chamber has been equipped with an automatic defrosting

function (no-frost). The food is frozen in the cooled circulation air, and

the moisture from the freezer chamber is discharged outside. As a result,

no ice and frost is produced in the freezer and the products do not freeze

on each other.

Washing the fridge and freezer chambers manually****

It is recommended to wash the fridge and freezer chambers at least once

a year. This prevents the formation of bacteria and bad odours. Switch

o the appliance, using button (1), remove the food from the chambers

and wash them using water with a mild detergent. Then, wipe the cham-

bers dry with a cloth.

Taking out and putting in the shelves*****

Slide the shelf out, then slide it in as much as possible so that its clamp

could t the guide groove (g. 15).

Taking out and putting in the door shelf*****

Lift the door shelf, remove it and put it back from the top into its required

position (g. 16).

WARNING! You must not put an electric heater, a heating fan or a hair

dryer into the freezer by any means.

Certain sounds can be heard during normal use of the refrigerator, which

do not aect its correct operation.

Sounds, which can be easily prevented:

• noise caused by the appliance which is not level - adjust the position

with the adjustable turn-in front feet. Alternatively, place pads made

of soft material under the rear rollers, especially when the appliance

is placed on tiles.

• touching the adjacent piece of furniture - move the refrigerator away.

• creaking of the drawers or shelves - take out and put back the drawer

or shelf.

• sounds of clinking bottles - move bottles apart.

Sounds heard during normal use are mainly due to operation of the ther-

mostat, compressor (switching on) and cooling system (thermal expan-

sion and contraction of the radiator caused by ow of the cooling agent).
