This article explains how to use the BKVDN-179 by Boretti.
USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Connect the appliance to the power supply. In models with electronics, a sound signal may be emitted, which means that the temperature alarm has been activated: press the sound alarm off button. Where provided, position the antibacterial anti-odour filter in the fan as demonstrated in the filter packaging. Note: After turning the appliance on, you must wait for 4-5 hours for the correct storage temperature to be reached for a normally filled appliance. IN THE EVENT OF NON-USE OF THE APPLICANCE Disconnect the appliance from the power supply, empty it, defrost it (if necessary) and clean it. Keep the doors slightly ajar to let air circulate inside the compartments. By doing this, you avoid the development of mould and bad odours. IN THE EVENT OF AN INTERRUPTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY Keep the doors closed so the food stays cold for as long as possible. Do not re-freeze food that has partially defrosted. If there is a prolonged power cut, the black out alarm may also activate (in products with electronics). REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT The refrigerator compartment allows for the storage of fresh food and drink. The refrigerator compartment defrosts completely automatically. The occasional presence of drops of water on the internal back wall of the compartment is a sign of the automatic defrosting phase. The defrosting water is channelled into a drain and then collected in a container, where it evaporates. Depending on the model, the product may be equipped with a special "Zero Degrees" compartment, which is ideal for storing fresh meat and fish.
⚠ Warning: do not clean refrigerator accessories in a dishwasher. Note: the ambient temperature, how often the doors are opened and the position of the appliance may affect the internal temperatures in the two compartments. Set the temperatures depending on these factors. Note: in very humid conditions, condensation may form in the refrigerator compartment, especially on the glass shelves. In this case, it is recommended that you close containers with liquids in (e.g. a pot of stock), wrap up food with a high water content (e.g. vegetables) and turn on the fan, if there is one. Removing the fruit and vegetable drawer (depending on the model) Pull the drawer outwards as far as it will go, lift it up and take it out. To make it easier to remove the fruit and vegetable drawer, it may be necessary to empty (and possibly remove) the two lower door shelves and then continue to remove the drawer. Fan and antibacterial anti-odour filter (depending on the model) The fan allows for the even distribution of the temperatures inside the compartments and, consequently, better preservation of the food and reduction of excess humidity. Do not obstruct the ventilation area. The fan can be turned on/off manually (see the Quick Guide); if it is turned on, it operates automatically when necessary. FREEZER COMPARTMENT Model with separate freezer compartment The freezer compartment **** allows for the storage of frozen food (for the period indicated on the packaging) and the freezing of fresh food. The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is written on the rating plate. Arrange the fresh food in the freezing area inside the freezer compartment (see Quick Guide), leaving enough space around the food packages to allow air to circulate freely. It is advisable that you do not re-freeze food that has partially defrosted. It is important to wrap the food in a way that prevents the ingress of water, humidity or condensation. Making ice cubes Fill 2/3 of the ice tray (if available) with water and put it back in the freezer compartment. Do not use sharp or pointed objects to remove the ice under any circumstances. Removing the drawers (depending on the model) Pull the drawers outwards as far as they will go, lift them up and remove them. To get more volume, the freezer compartment can be used without the drawers. Make sure that the door is closed properly after putting the food back on the grilles/shelves. Models with an internal product compartment In the freezer compartment **** you can also freeze fresh food. The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is written on the rating plate. How to freeze fresh food: • arrange the food on the grille, if present (figure 1), or directly on the bottom of the compartment (figure 2) • put the food in the middle of the **** compartment without it coming into contact with food that is already frozen, keeping a distance of about 20 mm (figure 1 and 2). HOW TO DEFROST THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT (depending on the model) For frost free models it is not necessary to carry out any defrosting procedures. For other models, the build up of frost is a normal occurrence. The quantity and speed of frost accumulation varies depending on the ambient conditions and how often the door is opened. It is advisable to set the temperature colder or, if available, turn on the quick freeze function (see Quick Guide) four hours before removing the food from the freezer compartment, to prolong the preservation of the food during the defrosting phase. To defrost, turn the appliance off and remove the drawers. Put the frozen food in a cool place. Leave the door open to allow the frost to melt. To prevent the water from escaping during the defrost, it is advised that you place an absorbent cloth on the bottom of the freezer compartment and wring it out regularly. Clean the inside of the freezer compartment and dry it carefully. Turn the appliance back on and put the food back inside. "ZERO DEGREES" COMPARTMENT (depending on the model) The "Zero Degrees" compartment is specifically designed to maintain a low temperature and the correct humidity to preserve fresh food for longer (for example, meat, fish, fruits and winter vegetables). Turning on and turning off the compartment The internal temperature of the compartment is approximately 0° when the compartment is turned on. To turn on the compartment, press the button shown in the figure for more than one second until the symbol lights up. The lit symbol means that the compartment is working. Press the button again for more than one second to turn off the compartment. To turn off the compartment completely, you must remove the drawer. For the correct functioning of the "Zero Degrees" compartment, it is necessary that: the refrigerator compartment is turned on the temperature is between +2°C and +6°C the drawer in the “Zero Degrees” compartment must be inserted for it to be turned on one of the following special functions is not selected: Stand-by, Cooling-Off, Vacation (if present), in this case, remove the food contained in it. Note:
- if the symbol does not light up when you turn on the compartment, check that the drawer is properly inserted; if the problem persists contact the authorised Technical Assistance Service.
- if the compartment is turned on and the drawer is open, the symbol in the control panel may automatically turn off. The symbol will light up again when the drawer is inserted
- regardless of the state of the compartment, you may hear a faint noise, which you should consider as normal
- when the compartment is not in operation, the temperature inside it depends on the general temperature of the refrigerator compartment. In this case, it is advised that fruits and vegetables that are not sensitive to cold (berries, apples, apricots, carrots, spinach, lettuce, etc.) are stored in it. Important: if the compartment is turned on and food with a high water content is present, condensation may form on the shelves. In this case, turn the function off temporarily. Be careful when positioning food and containers that are small in size on the upper shelf of the "Zero Degrees" compartment in order to prevent them accidentally falling between the shelf and the back wall of the refrigerator compartment. Removing the “Zero Degrees” compartment: Carry out the following steps:
- to make it easier to remove the compartment, we recommend that you empty (and possibly remove) the lower door shelves turn off the compartment remove the compartment by rotating it upwards remove the white plastic shelf under the compartment Note: it is not possible to remove the upper shelf and side supports. To use the "Zero Degrees" compartment again, carefully reposition the white plastic shelf under the compartment before inserting the drawer and turning the function back on. To have a larger refrigerator volume and to reduce energy consumption, it is recommended that you turn off the "Zero Degrees" compartment and remove the compartment. Clean the compartment and its components occasionally using a cloth and a solution of warm water (taking care not to submerge the white plastic shelf under the drawer) and neutral cleaning agents specifically for cleaning the inside of the refrigerator. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. Before cleaning the compartment (also externally) it is necessary to remove the drawer to disconnect the electrical supply for the compartment. BEI NICHTGEBRAUCH DES GERÄTS Trennen Sie die Spannungsversorgung des Geräts, entleeren Sie es, tauen Sie es ggf. ab und reinigen Sie es. Halten Sie die Türen leicht geöffnet, damit Luft hindurchströmen kann. Hierdurch verhindern Sie die Bildung von Schimmel und schlechten Gerüchen.

"NULL-GRAD"-FACH (modellabhängig) Das „Null-Grad"-Fach wurde speziell darauf ausgelegt, eine niedrige Temperatur und die korrekte Feuchtigkeit einzuhalten, um frische Lebensmittel länger zu konservieren (zum Beispiel Fleisch, Fisch, Obst und Wintergemüse). Das Fach ein- und ausschalten Ist das Fach eingeschaltet, beträgt die Innentemperatur etwa 0 °C. Drücken Sie die abgebildete Taste länger als eine Sekunde bis das Symbol aufleuchtet, um das Fach einzuschalten. Ein leuchtendes Symbol bedeutet, dass das Fach aktiviert ist. Drücken Sie die Taste erneut länger als eine Sekunde, um das Fach abzustellen. Um das Fach komplett abzustellen, müssen Sie die Schublade herausnehmen. Zur korrekten Funktion des „Null-Grad“-Fachs ist Folgendes erforderlich:
- das Kühlfach muss eingeschaltet sein
- die Temperatur muss zwischen +2 °C und +6 °C liegen
- die Schublade im „Null-Grad“-Fach muss eingesetzt sein, damit dieses funktionieren kann
- die folgenden Sonderfunktionen sind nicht aktiviert: Standby, Abkühlen, Urlaub (falls vorhanden), in diesem Fall die enthaltenen Lebensmittel entfernen. Hinweis:
- falls das Symbol bei Einschalten des Fachs nicht aufleuchtet, überprüfen, dass die Schublade korrekt eingeschoben wurde; sollte die Störung weiterhin bestehen, den autorisierten technischen Kundendienst kontaktieren.
- Ist das Fach eingeschaltet, aber die Schublade geöffnet, erlischt das Symbol auf der Bedientafel möglicherweise automatisch. Das Symbol leuchtet wieder auf, wenn die Schublade eingesetzt wird
- Unabhängig vom Zustand des Fachs ist möglicherweise ein leises Geräusch zu hören. Dies ist normal
- Wenn das Fach nicht in Betrieb ist, ist die Temperatur im Fach abhängig von der allgemeinen Temperatur im Kühlfach. In diesem Fall empfiehlt es sich, hier Obst und Gemüse zu lagern, welches nicht Kälteempfindlich ist (Beeren, Äpfel, Aprikosen, Möhren, Spinat, Kopfsalat usw.). Wichtig: Ist das Fach eingeschaltet und sind Lebensmittel mit hohem Flüssigkeitsgehalt vorhanden, schlägt sich möglicherweise Kondensation auf den Ablagen nieder. Schalten Sie die Funktion in diesem Fall vorübergehend ab. Beim Platzieren von Lebensmitteln und kleinen Behältern auf der oberen Ablage im „Null-Grad"-Fach vorsichtig vorgehen, damit diese nicht versehentlich zwischen Ablage und Kühlfach-Rückwand gelangen.
