Maintenance - Kunft KDD4870 Manual De Instrucciones

• Place the appliance in a well ventilated, humidity free, room. Please
refer to the "Installing the appliance" chapter.
• If the diagram shows the correct combination for the drawers, crisper
and shelves, do not adjust the combination as this is designed to be
the most energy efficient configuration.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
• Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator or freezer; the in-
ternal temperature will increase resulting in the compressor having
to work harder and will consume more energy.
• Cover or wrap food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
• Place food carefully so that air can circulate freely around it.
Hints for refrigeration
• Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass
shelf above the vegetable drawer. Always follow food storage times
and use by the dates suggested by manufacturers.
• Cooked food, cold dishes, etc.: these should be covered and may
be placed on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: these should be stored in the special desig-
nated drawer.
• Butter and cheese: should be wrapped in airtight foil or plastic film wrap.
• Milk bottles: these should have a cap on and should be stored in the
bottle rack on the door.
Hints for freezing
• When first starting-up or after a period out of use, let the appliance
run at least 2 hours on the higher setting before putting food in the
compartment.
• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and
completely frozen and to make it possible to subsequently thaw
only the quantity required.
• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polyethylene food wraps
which are airtight.
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch the food which is already
frozen to avoid temperature rise of the latter.
• Iced products, if consumed immediately after removal from the
freezer compartment, will probably cause frost burns to the skin.
Hints for storing frozen food
• Make sure that frozen food has been stored correctly by the food
retailer.
• Once defrosted, food will deteriorate rapidly and should not be
re-frozen. Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food
manufacturer.

Switching off your appliance
If the appliance needs to be switched off for an extended period, the
following steps should be taken to prevent mould from forming on
the appliance.
1. Remove all food.
2. Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
3. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
4. Make sure that all the doors are wedged open slightly to allow air
to circulate.

2.3. Maintenance

For hygienic reasons, the appliance (including exterior and interior
accessories) should be cleaned regularly (at least every two months).
Caution! The appliance should not be connected to the mains during
cleaning. Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning, switch the
appliance off and remove the plug from the mains socket.
Exterior cleaning
- Wipe the control panel with a clean, soft cloth.
- Spray water onto the cleaning cloth instead of spraying directly on
the surface of the appliance. This helps ensure an even distribution
of moisture to the surface.
- Clean the doors, handles and cabinet surfaces with a mild detergent
and then wiped dry with a soft cloth.
Caution!
Don't use sharp objects as they are likely to scratch the surface.
Don't use thinner, car detergent, Clorox, ethereal oil, abrasive
cleansers or organic solvent such as Benzene for cleaning. They
may damage the surface of the appliance and may cause fire.
Interior cleaning
You should clean the interior of the appliance regularly. Wipe the
inside of the freezer with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda,
and then rinse with warm water using a wrung-out sponge or cloth.
Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and drawers.
Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts before putting
them back into place.
Although this appliance automatically defrosts, a layer of frost may
occur on the freezer compartment's interior walls if the freezer door
is opened frequently or is kept open for too long. lf the frost is too
thick, choose a time when the freezer is nearly empty and proceed
as follow:
1. Remove existing food and accessory baskets, unplug the appliance
from the mains power and leave the doors open. Ventilate the
room thoroughly to accelerate the process.
