GRUNDIG GKPN 66840 LXRW (01) PDF Document

The technical specifications for WiFi + Bluetooth on the GRUNDIG GKPN 66840 LXRW refrigerator are as follows:

For the Blue Light feature, fruits and vegetables stored in crispers illuminated with blue light continue their photosynthesis by means of the wavelength effect of blue light and thus preserve their vitamin content.

For VitaminZone, fruits and vegetables stored in crispers illuminated with the VitaminZone technology preserve their vitamins for a longer time thanks to the blue, green, red lights and dark cycles, which simulate a day cycle. If you open the door of the refrigerator during the dark period of the VitaminZone technology, the refrigerator will automatically detect this and enable the blue, green or red light to illuminate the crisper for your convenience. After you have closed the door of the refrigerator, the dark period will continue, representing the night time in a day cycle.

With moisture control feature, moisture rates of vegetables and fruits are kept under control and ensures a longer freshness period for foods.

It is recommended to store leafed vegetables such as lettuce and spinach and similar vegetables prone to moisture loss not on their roots but in horizontal position into the vegetable bin as much as possible.

When placing the vegetables, place heavy and hard vegetables at the bottom and light and soft ones on the top, taking into account the specific weights of vegetables.

Do not leave vegetables in the vegetable bin in plastic bags. Leaving them in plastic bags causes vegetables to rot in a short time. In situations where contact with other vegetables is not preferred, use packaging materials such as paper that has a certain porosity in terms of hygiene.

Do not put fruits that have a high ethylene gas production such as pear, apricot, peach and particularly apple in the same vegetable bin with other vegetables and fruits. The ethylene gas coming out of these fruits might cause other vegetables and fruits to mature faster and rot in a shorter period of time.

In order to store your fruits and vegetables at ideal humidity conditions, you can change the location of the latch on the crisper. If only fruits and vegetables are stored, set the latch to fruits; if only vegetables are stored, set the latch to vegetables, if mixed items are stored, set the latch to mixed setting.

8 hours before freezing the fresh food activate the Quick Freeze function.

To preserve food quality, the food items placed in the freezer compartment must be frozen as quickly as possible, use the rapid freezing for this.

Freezing the food items when fresh will extend the storage time in the freezer compartment.

Pack the food items in air-tight packs and seal tightly.

Make sure the food items are packed before putting in the freezer. Use freezer holders, tinfoil and damp-proof paper, plastic bag or similar packaging materials instead of traditional packaging paper.

Mark each food pack by writing the date on the package before freezing. This will allow you to determine the freshness of each pack every time the freezer is opened. Keep the earlier food items in the front to ensure they are used first.

Frozen food items must be used immediately after defrosting and should not be frozen again.

Do not free large quantities of food at once.

The recommended temperature settings for the freezer and refrigerator compartments of the GRUNDIG GKPN 66840 LXRW refrigerator are:

The compartment must be set to at least -18°C.

1. Place the food items in the freezer as quickly as possible to avoid defrosting.

2. Before freezing, check the “Expiry Date” on the package to make sure it is not expired.

3. Make sure the food’s packaging is not damaged.

As per the IEC 62552 standards, the freezer must have the capacity to freeze 4.5 kg of food items at -18°C or lower temperatures in 24 hours for each 100 litres of freezer compartment volume.

Food items can only be preserved for extended periods at or below temperature of -18°C.

You can keep the foods fresh for months (in deep freezer at or below temperatures of 18°C).

The food items to be frozen must not contact the already-frozen food inside to avoid partial defrosting.

The dairy (cold storage) bin provides lower temperature within the refrigerator compartment. Use this bin to store delicatessen (salami, sausages, dairy products and etc.) that requires lower storage temperature or meat, chicken or fish products for immediate consumption. Do not store fruits and vegetables inside this bin.

The foldable wine rack provides the user storing the wine bottles when needed. To use the section, hold the plastic part and pull it to the following direction slowly. Now the foldable wine rack can be used.

It is recommended to store maximum 2 bottles of wine on foldable wine rack.

3. Make sure the food’s packaging is not damaged.

As per the IEC 62552 standards, the freezer must have the capacity to freeze 4.5 kg of food items at -18°C or lower temperatures in 24 hours for each 100 litres of freezer compartment volume.

Food items can only be preserved for extended periods at or below temperature of -18°C.

You can keep the foods fresh for months (in deep freezer at or below temperatures of 18°C).

The food items to be frozen must not contact the already-frozen food inside to avoid partial defrosting.

With moisture control feature, moisture rates of vegetables and fruits are kept under control and ensures a longer freshness period for foods.

It is recommended to store leafed vegetables such as lettuce and spinach and similar vegetables prone to moisture loss not on their roots but in horizontal position into the vegetable bin as much as possible.

When placing the vegetables, place heavy and hard vegetables at the bottom and light and soft ones on the top, taking into account the specific weights of vegetables.

Do not leave vegetables in the vegetable bin in plastic bags. Leaving them in plastic bags causes vegetables to rot in a short time. In situations where contact with other vegetables is not preferred, use packaging materials such as paper that has a certain porosity in terms of hygiene.

Do not put fruits that have a high ethylene gas production such as pear, apricot, peach and particularly apple in the same vegetable bin with other vegetables and fruits. The ethylene gas coming out of these fruits might cause other vegetables and fruits to mature faster and rot in a shorter period of time.

In order to store your fruits and vegetables at ideal humidity conditions, you can change the location of the latch on the crisper. If only fruits and vegetables are stored, set the latch to fruits; if only vegetables are stored, set the latch to vegetables, if mixed items are stored, set the latch to mixed setting.

For the preservation of food quality, follow these points:

1. Place the food items in the freezer as quickly as possible to avoid defrosting.

2. Before freezing, check the “Expiry Date” on the package to make sure it is not expired.

3. Make sure the food’s packaging is not damaged.

If there is a power cut, do not open the freezer door. Even if the power cut lasts longer than the “Temperature Rise Time” indicated in the “Technical Specifications of your Refrigerator” section, the frozen foods will not be affected. If the fault lasts longer, you must check the condition of the food and, if necessary, consume them immediately or cook them and then refreeze them.

The freezer compartment defrosts automatically.

The recommended freezer settings in the GRUNDIG GKPN 66840 LXRW refrigerator are:

The foods must be divided into portions based on the consumption needs of the family.

The foods must be hermetically packaged to prevent them from drying out, even if they are to be stored for a short time.

Materials necessary for packaging:

Tape resistant to cold

Self-adhesive labels

Elastic bands

Pen

The materials used for packaging food must be tear-proof and resistant to cold, humidity, odors, oils and acids. They must also be well sealed and made of materials that are easy to use and suitable for use in freezers.

Take special care not to mix already frozen foods with fresh foods (Do not let them come into contact with previously frozen items to prevent partial thawing of the latter).

Immediately consume thawed frozen foods and never refreeze them.

Do not freeze large quantities of food at once. The quality of the food is best preserved if the freezing reaches its interior as quickly as possible.

Placing hot food in the freezer compartment forces the refrigeration system to work continuously until the food is completely frozen.

It is recommended to place food on the upper shelf of the freezer for initial freezing.

Use the plastic wedges provided with the product to provide sufficient space for air circulation between the product and the wall.

1. To attach the wedges, remove the screws on the product and use the screws provided with the wedges.

2. Attach 2 plastic wedges on the ventilation cover as shown in the figure.

Pressing the compartment conversion key ( ) for 3 seconds, the freezer section switches between cooler, off and freezer modes. If it is operated as the cooler compartment, the temperature will be set as 4 °C. In case of OFF mode, compartment temperature indicator shall display “- -”.

Before using the refrigerator, make sure that you have completed all preparations in the sections “Safety Instructions and Environmental Instructions” and “Installation”.

Let the refrigerator operate without food for 6 hours and do not open the door unless absolutely necessary.

You will hear a sound when the compressor is engaged. It is normal to hear the sound even if the compressor is inactive, due to the liquids and compressed gases in the cooling system.

It is normal for the front edges of the refrigerator to be warm. These areas are designed to heat up to prevent condensation.

On some models, the instrument panel turns off automatically 5 minutes after the door has closed. It will be reactivated when the door has opened or any key is pressed.

Since hot and humid air will not directly penetrate into your product when the doors are not opened, your product will optimize itself in conditions sufficient to protect your food. Functions and components such as compressor, fan, heater, defrost, lighting, display and so on will operate according to the needs to consume minimum energy under these circumstances.

Connecting the product to electronic energy-saving systems is harmful because it can damage the product.

For a freestanding appliance; ‘this refrigerating appliance is not intended to be used as a built-in appliance.

Do not leave the refrigerator door open for long periods of time. When the doors are open, warm air enters the refrigerator/freezer compartments and the appliance consumes more energy to cool the food.

Do not introduce hot food or drinks into the refrigerator.

Do not overload the refrigerator; blocking the internal air circulation will reduce the cooling capacity.

Do not place the refrigerator in locations exposed to direct sunlight. Install the appliance at a distance of at least 30 cm from heat sources such as hobs, ovens, central heating and stoves and a distance of at least 5 cm from electric ovens.

Ensure that you keep food in closed containers inside the refrigerator.

Always use the baskets/drawers supplied with the freezer compartment to obtain lower energy consumption and better storage conditions.

The contact of food with the temperature sensor in the freezer compartment can increase the energy consumption of the appliance. Thus, any contact with the sensor(s) must be avoided.

You can load the maximum amount of food in the freezer compartment by removing the freezer compartment drawers. The declared energy consumption value of the refrigerator was determined with the freezer compartment drawers and the top flap removed, and the grid tray in the lower part of the lower freezer compartment is used for the maximum food load. You can use the drawers to store food when needed, which can be more convenient depending on the shape and size of the ingredients.

Defrosting the frozen food in the refrigerator compartment will save energy and preserve the quality of the food.

Do not block the freezer fan grille by placing food in front of it.

The temperature of the room where the refrigerator/freezer is installed should be at least -5°C. Operating the refrigerator under cooler conditions is not recommended with regard to its efficiency.

The interior of the refrigerator/freezer must be thoroughly cleaned.

If two refrigerators are to be installed side by side, there should be at least 2 cm distance between them.

When the doors are not opened, hot and humid air will not directly penetrate your product, the product will self-optimize for sufficient conditions to protect your food. Functions and components such as compressor, fan, heater, defrost, lighting, display, etc. will operate according to the needs to consume minimum energy under these circumstances.

If there are multiple options, the glass shelves must be placed so that the air outlets at the backwall are not blocked, preferably air outlets are remaining below the glass shelf. This combination may help improving air distribution and energy efficiency.

Since hot and humid air will not directly penetrate into your product when the doors are not opened, your product will optimize itself in conditions sufficient to protect your food.
