Hints And Tips; Normal Operating Sounds; Hints For Energy Saving - Küppersbusch IKEF2480-1 Benutzerinformation

• Food rich in proteins will go bad quicker. This means seafood will spoil before fish which
in turn will spoil before meat. While storing food in a 0°C compartment storage time for
that kind of food can be increased by up to three times as well without loss on quality.
• All food stored in a 0°C compartment should be taken out of the drawers roughly 15-30
min before consumption, particularly fruit and vegetables to be consumed without any
additional cooking process. Allowing fruit and vegetables to return to room temperature
will improve the texture and flavour.
Removing the drawers
The wire shelves inside the drawers permit
that air can circulate freely and
consequently a better conservation of
foods.

HINTS AND TIPS

Normal operating sounds

The following sounds are normal during
operation:
• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from
coils sound when refrigerant is pumped.
• A whirring and pulsating sound from the
compressor when refrigerant is pumped.
• A sudden cracking noise from inside
appliance caused by thermic dilatation (a
natural and not dangerous physical
phenomenon).
• A faint click noise from the temperature
regulator when the compressor switches
on or off.
The compartment has stops to prevent the
drawers from falling out when fully
extended.
To remove the drawers (e.g. for cleaning
purposes), pull them out as far as the
stops, lift and extract.

Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or leave
it open longer than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and
the Temperature Regulator is set to low
temperature and the appliance is fully
loaded, the compressor may run
continuously, causing frost or ice on the
evaporator. If this happens, set the
Temperature Regulator toward warmer
settings to allow automatic defrosting
and so a saving in electricity
consumption.
