This document is a user manual for a built-in refrigerator, model K1881.... The manual provides comprehensive information on the appliance's functions, usage, and maintenance.
The appliance is primarily designed for chilling food in private households and enclosed domestic environments. It features a refrigerator compartment and a cool-fresh compartment. The refrigerator compartment allows for temperature settings between 3 °C and 8 °C, suitable for dairy products, eggs, prepared meals, pastries, open preserves, and hard cheese. It also offers short to medium-term storage for highly perishable foods. The cool-fresh compartment maintains a temperature of around 0 °C, extending the freshness of food up to three times longer than the regular refrigerator compartment. This compartment is ideal for storing highly perishable items like fish, meat, and sausages.
The appliance incorporates a "Super cooling" function, which rapidly cools the refrigerator compartment to its coldest possible setting. This feature is useful before placing large quantities of food inside. The appliance also includes an alarm system, specifically a door alarm, which activates if the appliance door remains open for an extended period.
The refrigerator is operated via a control panel, which allows users to configure all functions and view the operating status. The control panel includes indicators for the appliance's operational status (0°C light), an alarm switch, a temperature display for the refrigerator compartment, temperature adjustment buttons, a "Super" button for activating/deactivating Super cooling, and a power on/off button.
Users can adjust the temperature of the refrigerator compartment by repeatedly pressing the temperature adjustment button until the desired temperature is displayed. The recommended temperature is 4 °C. The cool-fresh compartment's temperature is preset at 0 °C but can be adjusted to three warmer or colder settings. If frost forms on food in the cool-fresh compartment, a higher temperature setting is recommended.
The interior of the refrigerator is designed for flexible storage. It includes shelves that can be removed and re-inserted at different heights. A variable shelf allows for storing tall items by sliding its front section under the rear part. An extendable shelf provides improved visibility and easier access to food.
The fruit and vegetable container features a humidity controller, allowing users to adjust the air humidity based on the type and quantity of food stored. Low humidity is recommended for primarily storing fruit or when the appliance is very full. Medium humidity is for a mixed load, and high humidity is for primarily storing vegetables or when the appliance is not very full. Condensation in this container can be managed by adjusting the humidity controller and wiping with a dry cloth.
A butter and cheese compartment is provided for storing these items, with a flap that opens downwards. Door racks are also adjustable and can be removed and re-inserted as needed. A bottle holder is included to prevent bottles from falling over when the door is opened or closed.
For optimal energy saving, users are advised to keep the appliance out of direct sunlight, away from heat sources, and to ensure external ventilation openings are not covered. Opening the door only briefly, transporting food in a cool bag, allowing warm food to cool before storage, and thawing frozen food in the refrigerator compartment are also recommended practices.
The manual outlines a detailed cleaning and servicing procedure to ensure the appliance's long-term efficiency. Before cleaning, the appliance must be switched off and disconnected from the power supply. All food should be removed and stored in a cool place, and any hoarfrost should be allowed to defrost.
All fittings and accessories, including shelves, the partition, the cover, and telescopic rails, can be removed for thorough cleaning. The fruit and vegetable container, cool-fresh container, and door racks are also removable. The appliance, its fittings, accessories, components, and door seals should be cleaned with a dishcloth, lukewarm water, and a pH-neutral washing-up liquid, then dried thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth. Harsh scouring pads, abrasive detergents, or cleaning products with high alcohol content should not be used, as they can damage surfaces. Fittings and accessories should not be cleaned in a dishwasher to prevent deformation or discolouration.
The refrigerator compartment and cool-fresh compartment defrost automatically, eliminating the need for manual defrosting in these sections.
In case of faults, the manual provides troubleshooting steps, including an appliance self-test. If the appliance is not cooling but displays and lighting are on, it may be in "Showroom mode," which can be resolved by performing the self-test. If the LED lighting does not work, customer service should be contacted. Error messages like "E" or "d" in the temperature display indicate an electronic fault, requiring the appliance to be switched off, disconnected from the mains, reconnected after five minutes, and if the message persists, customer service should be called. A warning signal and "Alarm" light indicate an open door, which can be silenced by closing the door or pressing the "Alarm" button. The manual also addresses common noises like humming, bubbles, buzzes, gargles, or clicks, clarifying that these are normal operational sounds.
For storage, the appliance should be switched off, disconnected from the power supply, emptied of food, defrosted, and cleaned. The door should be left open to ensure ventilation. For disposal, the appliance must be unplugged, the power cord cut, and disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner, following local authority guidelines.
