Energy Saving; Maintaining The Appliance - Tensai CEV300 Manuel D'instruction

Using the freezer to its full potential
Remember that you should never refreeze products you have allowed to
thaw, even if only partially. Once thawed, cook the food, then either eat
(within 24 hours) or refreeze it.
For the best storage and thawing, remember to freeze small portions.
This will ensure rapid and uniform freezing.
Mark package with a description of the contents and the date it was
frozen.
Never freeze more food than that allowed by the maximum freezing
capacity indicated on the data plate which is located on the back of the
appliance.
Place the food to be frozen into the freezer, making sure that it is placed,
to the furthest extent possible, in direct contact with the side walls of the
deepest part of the freezer and not in contact with food that has already
been frozen.
Avoid opening the freezer door during the freezing process.
Install the Appliance Correctly
This means that the appliance should be installed away from sources of
heat or direct sunlight, in a well ventilated room.
Correct Temperature Settings
Set the temperature knob to one of the medium settings. Very low
temperatures will not only consume a great deal of energy, but will
neither improve nor lengthen the storage life of the food.
Shut the Doors
Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance from the
electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning off the general switch
in your home).
WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration circuit.
Defrosting
It is a good idea to remove the frost build up from the inside of the freezer
from time to time.
Make sure not to use pointed metal objects to do so as this could result in
piercing the refrigeration circuits, causing irreparable damage to the
appliance. Use the plastic scraper provided with the freezer.
To defrost the freezer completely (which should be done once or twice a
year), disconnect the appliance from the power supply and leave the door
open until all the frost has melted.
The freezer is fitted with a drain to lean the defrost water outside. Let the
water flow into a container as explained in the diagram 1.
To speed up defrosting, one or more pots of warm water can be placed
inside the appliance.
The Green Light is Off. Check if:
- There is power to the unit.
- The main power switch to the house is on.
The Red Alarm Light is Always On. Check if:
- The door is closed properly and the seal is still OK.
- The door is being opened too often.
- The temperature knob is on the right setting.
- There is too much frost build up.
The freezer does not cool well. Check if:
- The doors do not close properly or the seals are damaged.
- The doors are opened too frequently.
- The temperature adjustment knob is not in the correct position.
- The freezer has been over-filled.
- The atmospheric temperature of the area surrounding the appliance is
too low.
The Motor Runs Constantly. Check if:
- The yellow light is on (Super setting).
- The thermostat is on the right setting.
Efficient Usage of The Appliance

Energy saving

Maintaining the Appliance

Troubleshooting
In the case of power failure or breakdown, do not open the freezer door.
This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that
the goods are conserved for at least 12 hours.
Do not place full bottles in the freezer because liquids increase in volume
when they freeze and this could cause the bottles to burst.
Follow the instructions on the packages of frozen foods scrupulously. If
none are provided, do not store the food for more than 3 months from the
date of purchase.
When purchasing frozen food, make sure that they have been stored at
the proper temperature and that the package is properly sealed. If the
package is damp on the outside or is abnormally swollen, it is likely that
the package was stored at an inadequate temperature and the food has
deteriorated. It is best to transport them in appropriate containers to keep
them cold and then place them in the freezer immediately.
- In order to increase the space in the freezer it's possible to remove the
drawers (except the lowest one), and place the food directly over the
evaporator plates.
Open your appliance only when strictly necessary – every time you open
the door most of the cold air will be lost. In order to restore the correct
temperature, the motor will have to run and consume energy.
Check the Door Seals
Keep the seals clean and pliable so that they fit closely against the door
to ensure that no cold air is lost.
Avoid Frost Build-up
Remember to check the freezer for frost. When the frost becomes too
thick, defrost the freezer immediately (See, "Maintaining the Appliance").
While defrosting the freezer, it is a good idea to wrap the food taken from
the freezer in several layers of paper and place it in a cool place. Since
the temperature of the frozen food will inevitably rise, it is best to
consume it quickly as its storage life will have been shortened.
Cleaning and Maintenance
The inside of the appliance should be cleaned on a periodic basis. Only
use a water and bicarbonate solution to clean the appliance. Do not use
abrasive cleaning products, detergents or soap. After the inside has been
cleaned, rinse well with clean water and dry carefully.
Once the appliance has been cleaned, turn on the appliance, following
the instructions in "Setting Up The Appliance".
When not in use
Should the unit not be used for a long period of time (for example during
the summer holidays), disconnect the plug from the mains and leave the
door open to avoid the formation of mould and unpleasant odours.
- The doors do not close properly or the seals are damaged.
- The atmospheric temperature of the area surrounding the appliance is
too high.
The Appliance Makes Too Much Noise. Check if:
- The appliance is levelled.
- The appliance has been installed between cabinets that vibrate and
make noise.
- It is the noise made by the refrigerant, which occurs even when the
compressor is off (this is not a defect).
Some of the external parts of the appliance become hot.
- These raised temperatures are necessary in order to avoid the
formation of condensation on certain parts of the product.
If after the checks the appliance still does not operate or the problem
persists, call the nearest Service Centre, communicating: type of
malfunction, appliance model and serial number. This information can be
found on the data plate located inside the appliance.
Never call on unauthorized technicians and always refuse spare
parts which are not originals.
