Freezer compartment
Important!
- The freezer compartment is unsuitable
as a means of freezing food, the freezer
will maintain the temperature of already
frozen food
- Use only drinking water to make ice
cubes.
- Do not place any other products in the
freezer compartment when you are
making ice cubes.
- Water freezes fastest with the thermostat
at the highest setting.
Tip!
- Make ice cubes at night when your
refrigerator has more spare capacity.
Automatic defrosting cycle
The Automatic (and LCD - Electric)
refrigerators that work on the SES system
(Smart Energy Selection) are equipped with
an automatic defrosting cycle. At the end of
each 49 hours of refrigerator operation, the
system checks the temperature of the
cooling fins at the rear of the refrigerator. If
the temperature is too low, the system
activates the defrosting cycle: the system
switches off the refrigeration, until the rear
cooling element has reached the correct
temperature again. After this, the timer is set
at 49 hours once again and the system
resumes normal operation. Each time the
refrigerator is switched on or off, the timer is
automatically reset to 49 hours.
Note! Regular manual defrosting is not
necessary with refrigerators that work on the
SES system. The automatic defrosting cycle
ensures that there is minimal ice build-up on
the cooling element at the rear of the
refrigerator.
Door locking mechanism
The refrigerator door has an automatic
locking mechanism. The door locks
automatically when you press it shut firmly.
This automatic locking mechanism also
keeps the refrigerator door shut during
driving. For some models an additional
security device is fitted below the
refrigerator. By pushing the locking bar over
the pin when the door is closed, you can be
sure that the door does not open during your
journey.
If you are not going to use the refrigerator for
a prolonged period of time, you can use the
special storage latch of the door locking
mechanism (see illustration) to prevent
odours. Rotate the hook through 90 degrees
and lock it in place using the strike plate.
