Ice-Cube Production; Hints And Tips; Hints For Energy Saving - IKEA KÖLDGRADER Bedienungsanleitung

ENGLISH
The freezer drawers ensure that it is quick
and easy to find the food package you want.
If large quantities of food are to be stored,
remove all drawers, except for the bottom
drawer which needs to be in place to provide
good air circulation.
Keep the food no closer than 15 mm from
the door.
Caution! In the event of
accidental defrosting, for example
due to a power failure, if the
power has been off for longer
than the value shown on rating
plate under "rising time", the
defrosted food must be
consumed quickly or cooked
immediately then cooled and
then re-frozen. Refer to "High
temperature alarm".
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
consumed, can be thawed in the refrigerator
or inside a plastic bag under cold water.
This operation depends on the time available
and on the type of food. Small pieces may
even be cooked still frozen.

Hints and tips

Hints for energy saving

• Freezer: The internal configuration of the
appliance is the one that ensures the
most efficient use of energy.
• Fridge: Most efficient use of energy is
ensured in the configuration with the
drawers in the bottom part of the
appliance and shelves evenly distributed.
Position of the door bins does not affect
energy consumption.
• Do not remove the freezer blocks from
the freezer basket.
• Do not open the door frequently or leave
it open longer than necessary.
• Freezer: The colder the temperature
setting, the higher the energy
consumption.

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or more
trays for the production of ice-cubes.
Do not use metallic instruments
to remove the trays from the
freezer.
1. Fill these trays with water.
2. Put the ice trays in the freezer
compartment.
Freezer blocks
This appliance is equipped with freezer
blocks which increase storage time in the
event of a power cut or breakdown.
To ensure the best performance of the
freezer blocks, place them in the front top
area of the appliance.
Caution! Do not open or drink
content of the freezer blocks.
• Fridge: Do not set too high temperature
to save energy unless it is required by the
characteristics of the food.
• If the ambient temperature is high and
the temperature control is set to low
temperature and the appliance is fully
loaded, the compressor may run
continuously, causing frost or ice
formation on the evaporator. In this case,
set the temperature control toward
higher temperature to allow automatic
defrosting and to save energy this way.
• Ensure a good ventilation. Do not cover
the ventilation grilles or holes.
• Make sure that food products inside the
appliance allow air circulation through
