Switching Off The Refrigerator - HAEGER CR-28W.009A Manual De Instrucciones

English
• Remove the shelves and accessories, taking care not to apply excessive force when
removing. Follow the instructions provided in the "Door racks and Containers" section
carefully. Never wash removable plastic parts in the dishwasher; use only warm water and
washing-up liquid or water and vinegar. Take care not to wet the electrical lighting
components with water or detergents.
•
Clean the gaskets with warm water and then dry.
• To allow the refrigerator to operate at full efficiency, periodically also clean the condenser
on the rear with a brush or a vacuum cleaner.
•
Also make a periodic check on the tray above the compressor and clean it if necessary.

Switching off the refrigerator

If the refrigerator is to be out of use for some time, turn the thermostat knob to 0 (stop). Then
empty the compartments, disconnect the appliance from the electrical mains, and once it has
defrosted dry any residual moisture which has collected. Leave the door ajar to prevent the
humidity and trapped air from creating unpleasant smells.
Practical advice for saving energy
•
Install the refrigerator in a cool, well ventilated place, protected against direct sunlight and
well away from heat sources.
•
Do not place hot foods in the refrigerator or freezer sections. Wait for foods and drinks to
cool to room temperature before placing them on the shelves;
•
Open the door(s) as infrequently and for as short a time as possible to prevent the
compartments from warming up too much;
•
Clean the condenser (rear of the refrigerator) periodically to prevent the appliance from
losing efficiency;
•
If the refrigerator is to be out of use for a long period, it is best to empty it and switch it
off;
•
Thaw frozen foods in the body of the refrigerator in order to exploit the cold stored in the
frozen foods, which will be transferred to the refrigerator if this procedure is used.
•
If there is a power failure, keep the doors closed. When the power has been restored the
appliance will start to operate but it may take some time to achieve the pre-set operating
temperature. Check the condition of your stored food items and liquids.
Operating noise
•
The refrigerator and freezer are cooled by means of a compression system. In order to
maintain the preset temperature inside the refrigerator and freezer sections, the
compressor comes into operation in response to the level of cooling required and may
operate continuously if necessary. When the compressor starts up a humming sound will
be heard, tending to drop in volume after a few minutes.
