Using the ice maker

The American fridge freezer contains an ice maker which can dispense ice

cubes and crushed ice through the dispenser. The ice maker periodically

receives an automatic ow of water which is frozen into ice cubes. The

capacity of the ice maker depends on the ambient temperature, frequency

of freezer door openings, and the temperature setting of the freezer

compartment. The maximum quantity of ice which can be produced per

day is 1.58 kg if the freezer temperature is set at -24 °C.

To activate the ice maker:

1. Make sure that the water supply valve is open.

2. Press the Ice on/off key. The Ice on/off indicator is lit.

When the fridge freezer is rst switched on, the ice maker is off by default.

When the appliance is switched on for the rst time, if you start the ice

maker while the container is empty it may take up to 24 hours to make

your rst batch of ice cubes.

The rst production of ice cubes (approx. 20 pieces) should not be

consumed after rst use, after a long non-use of the ice maker or after a

lter change.

To switch the ice maker off:

1. Make sure that the ice maker container is empty.

2. Press the Ice on/off key. The Ice on/off indicator will go out.

The Ice Maker function switches off automatically when the maximum ice

glass.

We recommend that excess water in the tray be removed, as it could spill

when the door is opened and closed.

Tips on storing fresh food

– Keep your fridge temperature below 5 °C.

– Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the

appliance.

– Foods stored in the fridge should be washed and dried before storing.

– Food to be stored should be properly sealed to avoid odour or taste

alterations.

– Do not store excessive quantities of food. Leave spaces between

foods to allow cold air owing around them, for a better and more

homogeneous cooling.

– Foods eaten daily should be stored at the front of the shelf.

– Leave a gap between foods and the inner walls, allowing air ow.

– Do not store foods touching the rear wall. Food could freeze against

rear wall.

– Avoid direct contact of food (especially oily or acidic food) with the

inner liner, as oil/acid can erode the inner liner. Clean away oily/acid dirt

whenever it is found.

– Defrost frozen food in the fridge storage compartment. This way, you

can use the frozen food to reduce the temperature in the compartment

and save energy.

– The ageing process of fruit and vegetables such as courgettes, melons,

papaya, banana, pineapple, etc. can be accelerated in the fridge.

Therefore, it is not advisable to store them in the fridge. However, the

ripening of strong green fruits can be promoted for a certain period.

– Onions, garlic, ginger and other root vegetables should be stored at

room temperature.

– Unpleasant odours inside the fridge are an indication that something has

spilled and should be cleaned immediately.

– Different kinds of food should be placed in different areas according to

their properties:

1. Butter, cheese, etc.

2. Eggs, canned food, spices, etc.

3. Drinks and bottled foods.

4. Pickled foods, canned food, etc.

5. Meat products, sh, raw food.

6. Meat products, sh, raw food.

7. Cans, dairy products, etc.

8. Fruits, vegetables, lettuce, etc.

9. Cooked meat, sausages, etc.

Tips on storing frozen food

– Keep the freezer temperature at -18 °C.

– 12 hours before freezing additional items switch on Fast Freeze mode

(for small quantities of food 4-6 hours are sufcient).

– Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the

freezer compartment.

– Food cut into small portions will freeze faster and is easier to defrost

and cook. The recommended weight for each portion is less than 2.5 kg

– It is better to pack food before putting it into the freezer. The outside

of the packaging must be dry to avoid bags sticking together. Packaging

materials should be odour-free, airtight, non-poisonous and non-toxic.

– To avoid expiration of storage periods, we recommend that you make

a note of the freezing date, time limit and name of the food on the

packaging according to the storage periods of different foods.

– Acid, alkali and salt etc. can erode the internal surface of the freezer. Do

not place food which includes these substances (e.g. sea sh) directly

on the internal surface. Salt water in the freezer should be cleaned up

immediately.

– Do not exceed the food storage times recommended by the

manufacturers.

– Only take the required amount of food out of the freezer.

– Different kinds of food should be placed in different areas according to

their properties:

1. Lighter items, such as ice cream, vegetables, bread etc.

2. Larger or heavier portions of food, such as meat joints for

roasting.

3. Beverages without a high alcohol content, temporary storage of

spirits with a high alcohol content, small items like pizza or herbs.

– Leave at least 10 mm between the food and the sensor to ensure the

cooling effect.

– Do not remove the lowest drawer in the appliance when it is operating

in order to ensure the cooling effect.

– Food items which include ice (such as ice cream etc.) should be

stored inside the freezer compartment, not in the bottle holders. The

temperature changes the bottle holders are exposed to, caused by

opening and closing the door, may thaw the food.

– Consume defrosted food quickly. Defrosted food cannot be re-frozen

unless it is rst cooked, otherwise it may cause a health hazard.

– Do not load excessive quantities of fresh food in the freezer

compartment. Refer to the freezing capacity of the freezer – see the

technical data or the type plate.

– Food can be stored in the freezer at a temperature of at least -18 °C

for 2 to 12 months, depending on its properties (e.g., meat: 3-12

months, vegetables: 6-12 months).

– When freezing fresh food, avoid bringing it in contact with already

frozen food as there may be a risk of thawing the frozen food.

When storing commercially frozen foods, please follow these guidelines:

– Always follow manufacturers’ guidelines for the length of time you

should store food for. Do not exceed these guidelines.

– Try to keep the length of time between purchase and storage as short

as possible to preserve food quality.

– Buy frozen foods which have been stored at a temperature of -18 °C or

below.

– Avoid buying food which has ice or frost on the packaging – this may

indicate that the products have been partially defrosted and refrozen at

some point.

Energy saving tips

– Make sure the appliance is properly ventilated.

– Do not install the appliance in direct sunlight or near any heat sources

(e.g. stoves, heaters).

– Avoid unnecessarily low temperatures in the appliance. The energy

consumption increases the lower the temperature in the appliance is

set.

– Functions like Fast Cool or Fast Freeze consume more energy.

– Allow warm food to cool down before placing it in the appliance.

– Open the appliance door as little and as briey as possible.

– Do not overll the appliance to avoid obstructing the air ow.

– Avoid air within food packaging.

– Keep door seals clean so that the door always closes properly.

Care and cleaning

The American fridge freezer should be cleaned every four weeks for good

maintenance and to prevent bad food odours. It should be cleaned when

there is little or no food stored.

Before cleaning the American fridge freezer, familiarise yourself with the

warnings on page 7.

Note: Switch off and unplug the American fridge freezer before carrying out

any cleaning.

To clean the fridge freezer:

– Clean the interior and exterior casing using a sponge or cloth with

water and mild (neutral) detergent.

– Rinse and dry with a soft cloth.

– Clean the accessories with warm water and a neutral detergent.

– Allow at least 5 minutes before restarting the fridge freezer as frequent

starting may damage the compressor.

Note: Do not clean any part of the fridge freezer in a dishwasher.

Clean the ice container periodically with warm water, especially if ice cubes

have got old and stale. Dry the container thoroughly before putting it back

into the appliance to prevent ice cubes from sticking to the walls.

The shelves (A) can be removed for cleaning or adjusted to t your storage

needs. To remove a shelf:

1. Make sure that there is nothing on the shelf.

2. Lift the back edge and pull the shelf towards you.

To reinstall the shelf, put it on the lugs on both sides and gently push it as

far back as possible until the rear of the shelf is xed inside the slots in the

sides. Make sure that both sides of the shelf are level.

The door racks/bottle holder (B) can be removed for cleaning:

1. Place hands on each side of the rack/holder and lift it upwards.

2. Pull the door rack/bottle holder out.

To insert the door rack/bottle holder, place it in the correct position in the

door and press it down until it is secure.

The bottle holders in the freezer compartment are intended for temporary

storage of spirits with a high alcohol content. Beverage without high alcohol

content should be cooled in the fridge.

Additionally you can store small parts in the bottle holders.

To remove the drawer (C) from the fridge or freezer compartment:

1. Make sure that the drawer is empty.

2. Pull the drawer out to the maximum extent.

If no ice is needed over a long period of time, the valve between the water

supply and the appliance can be turned off. The ice box should be cleaned,

dried and put back into the appliance to prevent odours. It is also possible

to remove the ice box and install a bottle holder instead.

To remove the ice box (D):

1. Make sure that the ice box is empty.

2. Grip both side handles.

3. Lift the ice box up.

4. Pull the ice box out.

Note: Moisture can condense and freeze the ice box in place.

To reinstall the ice box, make sure that the U-shaped bracket behind the

ice box is horizontal. place it in the correct position and press it down until

it is secure.

An extra bottle holder can be installed Instead of the ice box, if required.

If the water lter is removed, the water dispenser and ice maker will not

work. Avoid removing the water lter without purchasing a substitute rst.

The optional OK temperature indicator (F) on the inner wall of the fridge, is

used to monitor temperatures below 4 °C. If the sign does not indicate OK,

gradually reduce the temperature.

Defrosting

The defrosting of the fridge and the freezer compartment are done

automatically - no manual operation is needed.

Replacing the LED lights

The LED interior light comes on when the door is opened. The

performance of the lights is not affected by any of the appliance’s other

settings.

Do not replace the LED lamp yourself. It must be replaced by either the

manufacturer or an authorised service agent.

Power disruption

In the event of a power cut, your fridge freezer will preserve your frozen

food for approximately 5 hours.

If the power cut lasts for longer than 5 hours:

– Do not open the door.

– Do not put additional food into the fridge freezer.

Tip: If you have prior notice of a power cut and you expect it to last longer

than 5 hours, make some ice and place it in a container on the top shelf of

the fridge compartment.

Once the power cut is over, check the food in the fridge freezer. The

temperature in the fridge will rise during a power cut or other failure and

the storage period and edible quality of food will be reduced. We strongly

recommend that any food which has defrosted either be consumed, or

cooked and refrozen (where suitable) to prevent health risks.

Note: When power is restored, the American fridge freezer will retain the

same memory settings it had before power cut.
