Daily Use; Cleaning And Maintenance - IKEA TILLREDA Manual

ENGLISH
Adjust the temperature setting by keeping in mind
that the temperature inside the appliance depends
on:
• room temperature
• how often the door is opened
• the quantity of food stored
• the location of the appliance
Important! If the ambient temperature is high or
the appliance is fully loaded, and the appliance is set
to the lowest temperatures, it may run continuously
causing frost to form on the rear wall. In this
case a higher temperature must be set to allow

Daily use

Hints for fresh food refrigeration
•
Cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a
strong flavour.
•
Position the food so that air can circulate freely
around it.
•
For best performance, leave enough space in
the refrigerator compartment for air to circulate
around the packages. Also leave enough room at
the front so the door can close tightly.
•
Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in
the refrigerator.
•
Cooked foods and cold dishes: cover and place on
any shelf.
•
Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly and place in
the vegetable drawer. Bananas, potatoes, onions
and garlic must not be kept in the refrigerator if
not packed.
•
Butter and cheese: place in special airtight
containers or wrap in aluminium foil or polythene
bags to exclude as much air as possible.
•
Bottles: close with caps and place on the door
balconies.
Energy saving tips
•
Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room
far away from any heat source (e.g. radiator,
cooker, etc.) and in a place not exposed directly to
the sun. If required, use an insulating plate.

Cleaning and maintenance

General tips
•
Regularly clean the appliance with a cloth and a
solution of warm water and neutral detergent
specifically formulated for refrigerator interiors.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or tools.
•
Before servicing or cleaning the appliance, unplug
it from the mains or disconnect the power supply.
automatic defrosting and therefore reduced energy
consumption.
Tips:
•
The lower the temperature, the longer you can
safely store your food and the more electricity the
appliance consumes.
•
The higher the temperature, the quicker your
stored food decays and the less electricity the
appliance consumes.
Switching off
To switch off the appliance, turn the temperature
regulator knob to point to the "OFF" position and then
disconnect the mains plug from the power socket.
•
To guarantee adequate ventilation follow
installation instructions.
•
Insufficient ventilation on back of the product
increases energy consumption and decreases
cooling efficiency.
•
The internal temperatures of the appliance may be
affected by the ambient temperature, frequency
of door opening, as well as location of the
appliance. Temperature setting should take into
consideration these factors.
•
Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before
placing in the appliance.
•
Do not obstruct the fan (if available) with food
items.
•
After placing or removing food, ensure you close
the door properly, especially the freezer door.
•
Reduce to a minimum door opening.
•
When thawing frozen food, place them in the
refrigerator. The low temperature of the frozen
products cools the food in the refrigerator.
•
Positioning of the shelves in the refrigerator has
no impact on the efficient usage of energy. Food
should be placed on the shelves in such way to
ensure proper air circulation (food should not
touch each other and distance between food and
rear wall should be kept).
•
Damaged gaskets must be replaced as soon as
possible.
CAUTION!
The refrigerator accessories must not
be placed in a dishwasher.
Defrosting the appliance
•
Defrost the appliance whenever the layer of
frost on the surface of the evaporator becomes
3 to 4 mm thick.
