Interior lighting
Changing the light bulb:
– Remove the plug from the wall socket.
– Use a suitable screw-driver to remove the screw holding the light cover and take the cover off.
– Take out the defective bulb and fit a new one (max. 15 W., socket type E14).
– Put the cover back into position, replace the screw and tighten it.
– Connect the unit to the mains power. It may take 3 to 5 minutes before it switches on again.
Freezer compartment door
To ensure that frozen food will not de-frost prematurely, the door to the freezer compartment should
be kept closed at all times. This will also prevent an undue build-up of ice and frost. Ensure,
therefore, that the door is only opened briefly to place food in the freezer compartment or to remove
it.
Freezing and storing food
– The temperatures inside the refrigerator cabinet and freezer compartment depend mainly on the
ambient temperature, the temperature control setting and the amount of food stored.
Freezer compartment:
– The freezer compartment is designed for deep-freezing and long-term storage of frozen food, and
for making ice cubes.
– To ensure that nutritious elements such as vitamins are not lost, fresh food should be deep-frozen
right through as quickly as possible. To that effect, the prepared food should be placed into the
freezer compartments, properly spaced in one or two rows. Avoid contact with food that has
already been frozen. Do not deep-freeze more than 2 kg of fresh food per day. Set the
temperature control to Max. After 24 hours, once the food is well frozen, the temperature control
can be set back to its original position.
– The time required to freeze food may be shortened by dividing it into smaller portions.
– For short-term storage of food inside the freezer compartment, the temperature control may be
set to any suitable position between minimum and medium. For long-term storage, set the
temperature control to its maximum position.
– Suitable packaging materials for frozen food are transparent (i.e. non-coloured) plastic wrap or
bags, or aluminium foil. The packaging materials should be well aired before use; check that the
package is air-tight before freezing the food. We strongly recommend that you label every item
stored in the freezer with all relevant information such as type of food, freezing date and use-by
date.
