User manual DE DIETRICH DRS914JE

[. . . ] 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. [. . . ] In this condition, the refrigerator compartment temperature might drop below 0°C. Place the fresh food to be frozen on the top compartment. 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. If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers and baskets from appliance and place food on cooling shelves to obtain the best performance. Make sure that foods do not exceed the load limit stated on the side of the upper section (where applicable) Important!In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power has been off for longer that 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). 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. The symbol opposite shows the location of the coldest area of your refrigerator. The space directly above the glass shelf of the fruit and vegetable drawer is the coldest region of the refrigerator compartment as shown by the shelf or the sticker on the wall of your appliance. For proper storage of the food in your refrigerator and particularly in the coldest area, ensure that the temperature indicator is displaying "OK". If "OK" is not displayed, the average temperature in the area is too high. Since the "OK" display is in black, it is difficult to see if the temperature indicator is poorly illuminated. Each time the temperature controller is adjusted, wait for the temperature inside the appliance to stabilise before checking whether another adjustment is required. 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. In order to speed up the defrosting process, place a pot of warm water in the freezer compartment. In addition, remove pieces of ice that break away before defrosting is complete. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly and keep the scraper for future use. After two or three hours, reload the previously removed food into the compartment. Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it. 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 the freezer A certain amount of frost will always form on the freezer shelves and around the top compartment. Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm. About 12 hours prior to defrosting, set the Temperature regulator toward higher settings , in order to build up sufficient chill reserve for the interruption in operation. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place. [. . . ] 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 Positioning Install this appliance at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate class indicated on the rating plate of the appliance: 10 Electrical connection Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage and frequency shown on the rating plate correspond to your domestic power supply. 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. Directives. Door reversibility The door of the appliance opens to the right. [. . . ]
