Starting up and temperature regulation
Insert the plug of the connection lead into the plug socket with pro-
tective earth contact. When the refrigerator compartment door is ope-
ned, the internal lighting is switched on.
The temperature selector knob is
located on the right hand side of the
refrigerator compartment.
Setting “0” means:Off.
Turning clockwise in direction “1”:
Refrigerating unit on and the
refrigerator operates automatically.
Setting “1” means:
Hightest temperature, warmest setting.
Setting “6” (end-stop) means:
Lowest temperature, coldest setting.
The temperatures in the refrigerator compartment and freezer com-
partment cannot be independently regulated.
At a low ambient temperature of around 16°C, setting “1” should be
selected. At ambient temperatures of around 25°C, select setting “2”.
If you require a lower temperature, select setting “3” or “4”. On this
setting , you can be sure the fresh food will be reliably frozen and that
a storage temperature of -18°C will be maintained in the freezer com-
partment.
If you want the freeze fresh food rapidly, select setting “6”, ensuring
that the temperature in the refrigerator compartment does not drop
below 0°C. You should also promptly reset the temperature regulator
to setting “3” or “4" once the fresh food has frozen.
Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold set-
ting on the temperature regulator (position”5” to “6”) can cause the
compressor to run continuously.
Reason: when the ambient temperature is high, the compressor must
run continuously to maintain the low temperature in the appliance.
The fridge will not be able to defrost since automatic defrosting of the
fridge is only possible when the compressor is not running (see also
"Defrosting" section). The result is the build up of a thick layer of frost
on the fridge rear wall.
If this happens, turn the temperature regulator back to a warmer set-
ting (position “3” to “4”). At this setting the compressor will be
switched on and off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced.
