Starting Up and Temperature Regulation
☞
1. Connect the appliance to the mains
electricity supply.
When the refrigerator compartment
door is opened, the internal lighting is
switched on.
The temperature control knob is locat-
ed on the right hand side of the
refrigerator compartment.
Setting “0” means: Off.
2. Turn the control knob clockwise past “1”. The refrigerating unit is now
on and operates automatically.
Setting “1” means:
Hightest temperature, warmest setting.
Setting “6” (end-stop) means:
Lowest temperature, coldest setting.
From a food safety point of view, +5 °C should be considered suffi-
ciently cold for storing food in the fridge.
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”.
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.
Prior to Initial Start–Up
Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial
start-up (see section: “Cleaning and Care”).
