To adjust the temperature settings, locate the control panel inside the refrigerator. Use the "+" and "-" buttons to set your desired temperature. The recommended temperature for the fridge is 3-5°C and for the freezer is -18°C.
First, ensure that the fridge is plugged in and the power is on. Check the temperature settings and adjust if necessary. Make sure the door seals are clean and sealing properly. If the issue persists, consult the user manual or contact a service technician.
The De Dietrich DRC825JE is equipped with a No Frost system, which means it automatically defrosts itself. However, if ice builds up, you may need to manually defrost by turning off the appliance and allowing the ice to melt.
To clean the refrigerator coils, unplug the appliance first. Locate the coils at the back or underneath the refrigerator. Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove dust and debris. Perform this task every six months for optimal performance.
Water pooling can occur if the defrost drain is blocked. Check the drain located at the back of the fridge and clear any clogs using a pipe cleaner or warm water. Ensure the fridge is level to prevent pooling.
To replace the light bulb, unplug the refrigerator. Locate the light cover inside the fridge and remove it. Unscrew the old bulb and replace it with a new one of the same type and wattage. Reattach the light cover and plug the fridge back in.
Unusual noises may be due to the fridge being unlevel, items inside vibrating, or the compressor running. Ensure the fridge is level and items are not touching the walls. If the noise persists, it might be a mechanical issue that requires professional servicing.
Maximize energy efficiency by keeping the refrigerator full but not overcrowded, ensuring door seals are intact, setting appropriate temperature settings, and keeping the coils clean. Avoid placing the fridge near heat sources and allow space for proper ventilation.
Store raw meats on the bottom shelf to prevent cross-contamination. Use top shelves for ready-to-eat foods. Keep fruits and vegetables in designated crisper drawers. Use airtight containers to keep food fresh and prevent odors.
After a power outage, the control panel should reset automatically. If it doesn't, unplug the refrigerator for a few minutes and then plug it back in. Check and adjust the temperature settings as needed.
