Respecting the environment and saving energy
Description of your appliance
NO FROST: its significance and operation
- This appliance has been designed and manufactured to avoid frost accumulating inside it.
- A system automatically melts away any frost and the water produced flows through a small pipe into the container provided, where it evaporates away.
  - e You do not need to de-ice the appliance yourself.

Specific areas of the freezer
Frozen and deep-frozen food
- Your domestic appliance enables you to freeze food: it lowers its core temperature rapidly and you can therefore keep it longer.
- Deep-freezing is an industrial process that is quicker and more intense that domestic freezing. The products you purchase from the shops are deep-frozen.
Preparing food for freezing
Food freezing guide
- Fresh meat
- Lamb,small pieces
- 8 months
- Roast pork
- 5 months
- Pork ribs
- 4 months
- Boiled beef,roast beef
- 10 months
- Beef steak,entrecotes,in sauce,roast veal
- 8 months
- Veal steaks,cutlets
- 10 months
- Minces meat
- 4 months
- Giblets,offal
- 3 months
- Sausages
- 2 months
- We recommend that you defrost meat completely before cooking it so as to avoid the exterior cooking quicker than the interior, except in the case of small breadcrumbed items, which can be sauted directly over a low to medium heat, and boiled meats.
  - Farmyard animals
- Prepare them plucked/skinned, gutted, cut into pieces if necessary, washed and rinsed.
  - Game
- Prepare it plucked/skinned, gutted, cut into pieces if necessary, washed and rinsed.
  - Fish
Food freezing guide
- Cooked food
- The length of time you can store cooked dishes reduces if you use bacon or smoked ham to season dishes.
- Put them directly on the hob or in the oven without defrosting them.
  - Vegetables
- We recommend that you blanch the vegetables with steam so that they do not lose their vitamins and mineral salts in the cooking water. You therefore do not need to wait until they are dry before freezing them, just until they cool down.
- In general, vegetables are better if they are cooked directly, without being frozen. Reduce the cooking time, taking into account the blanching time before freezing...
Food freezing guide
- Fruits
- Fruit must be covered with sugar or syrup, as appropriate. The amount of sugar to use is around 250g for 1 kilo of fruit. Syrups are used in varying percentages; these are prepared by boiling sugared water. The various concentrations are as follows:
  - - 30% solution, 450g of sugar per litre of water;
  - - 40% solution, 650g of sugar per litre of water;
  - - 50% solution, 800g of sugar per litre of water;
- So that the fruit's colour does not change, place it in lemon juice before covering it with sugar or pour lemon juice into the s...
  - Bread
- This can be kept for 2 months. Defrost in an oven set to 50C, switching it on after inserting the bread.
  - Butter and cheese
- Freeze butter and cheese by dividing them up into pieces for weekly consumption.
- Butter and hard cheese (e.g. Parmesan) can be kept for 8 months, other cheese 4 months. They must be defrosted in the refrigerator, keeping an eye on the condensation that forms on these products.
Arranging food in your freezer
- Do not put fresh food next to food that has already been frozen to avoid causing the frozen food to warm up.
  - e The maximum weight of food that you can freeze over 24 hours is shown on the information plate (inside your appliance's refrigerator section near the bottom of the left-hand wall) under the heading: "CAPACITE DE CONGELATION/FREEZING CAPACITY (kg/24h)".
Quick freeze
Defrosting food
- You can defrost food in five different ways:
- - By putting them in refrigerator for several hours
- - By leaving them to defrost gently at ambient temperature
- - In a conventional oven at a very low temperature (40/50C)
- - In a microwave oven
- - By cooking them immediately
- Defrosting them in the refrigerator is the slowest but safest method.
  - m Never refreeze food once it has defrosted, even partially, without cooking it first.
  - m We would advise you not to place any items you have just taken out of the freezer straight into your mouth (ice cream, ice cub...
Automatic defrosting of your freezer
- The defrosting of your appliance is completely automatic.
- The water resulting from defrosting drains into a recovery tank, located on the motor.
- The heat released by the motor causes the evaporation of the contents of this tank.
Ongoing maintenance of your appliance
- c Disconnect your appliance prior to performing any maintenance operation. Grasp the plug directly, instead of pulling on the power cable.
Noises, inconveniences or minor breakdowns
- Normal operating noises
  - So that the selected temperature remains constant, your appliance regularly switches off its motor. The resultant noises are qui...
- Inconveniences or minor breakdowns

De Dietrich 6545UNIL Refrigerator F.A.Q.

How do I change the water filter in my De Dietrich 6545UNIL Refrigerator?

To change the water filter, locate the filter compartment inside the refrigerator, turn the filter counterclockwise to release it, insert the new filter, and turn it clockwise until it locks into place.

What should I do if my refrigerator is not cooling properly?

First, check if the refrigerator is properly plugged in and the thermostat is set to the correct temperature. Ensure that the vents are not blocked and clean the condenser coils. If the problem persists, consider contacting a professional technician.

How often should I defrost the freezer compartment?

The De Dietrich 6545UNIL Refrigerator is usually frost-free. However, if frost builds up, it is recommended to defrost the freezer every 6 months or when the frost layer reaches 1/4 inch thickness.

Why is my refrigerator making unusual noises?

Unusual noises may be due to the refrigerator not being level, items inside vibrating, or the compressor working harder than usual. Ensure the unit is on a level surface and check for any loose items. If the noise continues, consult a technician.

How can I clean the inside of my refrigerator?

To clean the inside, remove all food items, take out removable shelves and drawers, and wash them with mild soap and water. Wipe down the interior walls and door with a solution of water and baking soda. Dry all parts before reassembling.

What is the best temperature setting for the refrigerator and freezer?

For optimal performance, set the refrigerator compartment to around 37°F (3°C) and the freezer to 0°F (-18°C). These settings help keep food fresh and frozen items safe.

How do I reset the control panel after a power outage?

To reset the control panel, unplug the refrigerator for about 5 minutes, then plug it back in. This should reset the system. If problems continue, refer to the user manual or contact customer support.

Can I store hot food directly in the refrigerator?

It is recommended to let hot food cool to room temperature before storing it in the refrigerator. Placing hot items directly inside can raise the internal temperature and affect cooling efficiency.

What should I do if the refrigerator door doesn't seal properly?

Check if the door gasket is dirty or damaged. Clean it with mild soap and water. If the gasket is worn out, it may need to be replaced to ensure proper sealing and efficiency.

How do I activate the holiday mode on my refrigerator?

To activate holiday mode, refer to the control panel or settings menu on your refrigerator. This mode reduces energy consumption while maintaining an adequate temperature. Specific instructions can be found in your user manual.
