Refrigerator

The height of the unbreakable secured
glass shelves can be adjusted individually.
By pressing both holders sideways at the
same time, the glass shelve can be swung
upwards and removed. To fixture the glass
shelf: push the glass shelf back into the
holder and, at the front, press it down into
the holder.

Cleaning

The refrigerator is to be kept clean for the
hygienic storage of foodstuffs. It should be
washed out from time to time with a mild
soapy solution and then dried. An occasio-
nal wiping of the refrigerator with a vine-
gar solution suppresses odours and is re-
commended. Keeping the door seals clean
stops them from sticking and thus avoids
them being damaged. No scouring clea-
ners or scratching cloths are to be used.
Clean the door seals with a soft brush. If
the refrigerator has not been used for
some time, set the –temperature controller
to position «0». Empty the refrigerator,
defrost it, clean, and then leave the refrige-
rator as well as the freezer compartment
open.
– Be careful that no cleaning water can get
into the controller housing (danger of
short circuit).
– Be careful that as little cleaning water as
possible goes though the drainage chan-
nel into the collection dish.
– Before being put back in use, the unit
and the seals of the refrigerator and the
freezer must all be completely dry.

Tips

The following points should be noted when
using the new refrigerator:
The unit should not be installed near
heaters, radiators, or smoke ventilators,
and should be protected from direct
sunshine.
A unit which has just been put into use
needs approx. 15 hours (with products)
until it has reached its normal operating
temperatures.
Keep the refrigerator doors open for as
short a time as possible. If the doors are
open for longer than 2 minutes then the
refrigerator lamp starts to flash. Make
sure after closing that the doors are fully
sealed. The self-closing hinges assist this.
The cooling time for beverages and
other products can take up to 6 hours
from room temperature down to the ref-
rigerator temperature. The warmer they
are when put in, the longer this time will
be.
Re-setting the temperature control has
no effect on the cooling rate, only on the
temperature reached.
Allow warm or really hot products cool
down outside the refrigerator.
Condensation can form on the glass
shelves if products are stored which emit
water vapour.
As the electronic control in the refrigera-
tor only defrosts about once per day, the
ice formation on the rear wall in the ref-
rigerator itself can be more marked than
is usual in previous refrigerators.
