User manual DE DIETRICH DKS876X

[. . . ] For the safety of life and property keep the precautions of these user's instructions as the manufacturer is not responsible for damages caused by omission. General safety Caution!· The appliance is intended for keeping foodstuff and/ or beverages in a normal household as explained in this instruction booklet. · Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process. · Do not use other electrical appliances (such as ice cream makers) inside of refrigerating appliances, unless they are approved for this purpose by the manufacturer. [. . . ] If the ambient temperature is high or the appliance is fully loaded, and the appliance is set to the lowest temperatures, it may run continuously causing frost to form on the rear wall. In this case the dial must be set to a higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting and therefore reduced energy consumption. Switching off To turn off the appliance, turn the Temperature regulator to the "O" position. Temperature regulation The temperature is automatically regulated. To operate the appliance, proceed as follows: · turn the Temperature regulator toward lower settings to obtain the minimum coldness. · turn the Temperature regulator toward higher settings to obtain the maximum coldness. First use Cleaning the interior Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dry thoroughly. Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish. Daily use Freezing fresh food The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time. To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to change the medium setting. However, for a faster freezing operation, turn the temperature regulator toward higher settings to obtain the maximum coldness. In this condition, the refrigerator compartment temperature might drop below 0°C. 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 in the technical characteristics chart under "rising time", the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then re-frozen (after cooling). Thawing Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room temperature, depending on the time available for this operation. Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer. Storage of frozen food When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the compartment let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings. 4 Temperature indicator To assist you in controlling your appliance correctly we have fitted a temperature indicator to your refrigerator, placed in the coldest area. The coldest area of the refrigerator compartment is at the level of the lower glass shelf. Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer. A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life. Defrosting of the refrigerator Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water drains out through a trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the motor compressor, where it evaporates. It is important to periodically clean the defrost water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator compartment channel to prevent the water overflowing and dripping onto the food inside. Use the special cleaner provided, which you will find already inserted into the drain hole. Periods of non-operation When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions: · disconnect the appliance from electricity supply · remove all food · defrost 3)and clean the appliance and all accessories · leave the door/doors ajar to prevent unpleasant smells. 7 3) If foreseen. If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to check it once in a while to prevent the food inside from spoiling in case of a power failure. What to do if. . . Warning!Before troubleshooting, disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket. Only a qualified electrician or competent person must do the troubleshooting that is not in this manual. There are some sounds during normal use (compressor, refrigerant circulation). Possible cause Solution Switch on the appliance. The appliance does not oper- The appliance is switched off. The mains plug is not connected to the mains socket correctly. Connect the mains plug to the mains socket correctly. The appliance has no power. There Connect a different electrical appliis no voltage in the mains socket. [. . . ] Read the "Safety Information" carefully for your safety and correct operation of the appliance before installing the appliance. Positioning Install this appliance at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate class indicated on the rating plate of the appliance: 9 Climate class SN N ST T Ambient temperature +10°C to + 32°C +16°C to + 32°C +16°C to + 38°C +16°C to + 43°C The appliance must be earthed. The power supply cable plug is provided with a contact for this purpose. If the domestic power supply socket is not earthed, connect the appliance to a separate earth in compliance with current regulations, consulting a qualified electrician. The manufacturer declines all responsibility if the above safety precautions are not observed. [. . . ]
