PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME
Before using the appliance for the first time, you should proceed as follows: carefully unpack the appliance and remove all packaging material and any promotional stickers. Keep the packaging (plastic bags, polystyrene and cardboard) out of the reach of children. After unpacking the appliance, carefully check it for external damage that may have occurred during transport. Place the appliance on a sturdy, flat surface and make sure there is enough space all around for sufficient ventilation. A minimum space of 10 cm is required between the appliance and the surrounding walls. In this way the appliance is able to release heat properly, cool well and function in an energy efficient way. You can use the adjustable feet to level the appliance. Do not place the appliance near heat sources such as central heating or a stove. Do take note of the climate class of the appliance. When placed in a room that is too cold, the appliance will not function properly. After placing the appliance, leave it for at least 3 hours before inserting the plug in the socket. First clean the interior of the appliance. Use warm soapy water with, for instance, washing-up liquid, all-purpose cleaner or soda. Wipe the inside of the appliance after cleaning with clean water and properly wipe everything dry. Leave the appliance to dry for 1 to 2 hours.
USE
The control unit of the appliance is located behind the lower freezer drawer. Check that the thermostat is in the OFF position. Check that the voltage corresponds with the voltage stated on the information plate and insert the plug in the socket.
Adjusting the temperature
By means of the thermostat, you are able to switch on the appliance and change the temperature.
The possible positions of the thermostat: OFF position: no cooling, does have power
Position 1 to 7: 1 is the highest temperature (cold) and 7 is the lowest temperature (coldest). We recommend position 4 for optimum temperature. The appliance will now cool continuously until the set temperature has been reached. Allow the appliance to reach the set temperature before filling it with food. Usually, this will take 24 hours. After that, you can set the thermostat to the required position and fill the appliance with food.
To switch off the appliance, switch off the thermostat and remove the plug from the socket.
Attention:
The ambient temperature, the frequency of opening the door and the position of the appliance have an effect on the temperature in the appliance. Take this into account when setting the thermostat.
- Do not place hot food in the appliance.
- You should never place hazardous, highly flammable or explosive substances such as alcohol, acetone or petrol in the appliance because there will be a hazard of explosion.
- Carefully package meat and fish to prevent unpleasant smells.
- Do not place food against the rear wall of the appliance.
- Leave sufficient space between the different foods to allow the air to circulate properly.
- Do not leave the door open for longer than necessary.
DEFROSTING
Defrost the appliance when the layer of ice in the freezer section has reached a thickness of 3 to 5 mm. Switch off the thermostat and remove the plug from the socket. Remove all products from the freezer section. Store the frozen products on a cool location, packaged in newspapers and blankets. Place a receptacle under the freezer section and wait for the ice to defrost. Defrosting can be accelerated by placing a tray with warm water in the freezer compartment. Remove ice using an ice scraper. Warning: Never remove ice with sharp objects, defrosting sprays, a hair dryer, a heater or something similar. This could lead to unsafe situations and cause irreparable damage to the appliance. Clean and dry the freezer section. Set the thermostat to the required position. Place the frozen products back in the freezer section once it has reached the required temperature.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Regularly clean the appliance to guarantee a proper function. Switch off the appliance prior to cleaning and remove the plug from the socket. Remove all food from the appliance. Clean the interior of the appliance. Use warm soapy water with, for instance, washing-up liquid, all-purpose cleaner or soda in order to prevent nasty smells. Wipe the inside of the appliance after cleaning with clean water and properly wipe everything dry. Leave the appliance to dry for 1 to 2 hours. For areas in the appliance that are difficult to clean, such as small openings or corners, it is recommended wiping them clean regularly with a soft cloth or brush. If necessary, a tool can be used, such as thin sticks (cocktail sticks, for example), to make sure no contamination can occur in these areas. Clean the outside of the appliance and the door rubbers with a soft damp cloth. Clean the rear of the appliance at least one per year with a vacuum cleaner so that the condenser and ventilation holes remain clean and the appliance is able to function as optimally as possible. Do not use hard brushes, steel wool, abrasives (such as toothpaste), organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, oil, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline products to clean the appliance, as this could damage the surface and interior of the appliance. Boiling water and benzene could deform or damage plastic components.
