Prior to Initial Start–Up
0 Please clean the appliance interior and all
accessories prior to initial start-up (see
section: “Before Use”).
Initial Use
Important! Only use the appliance when
correctly installed!
0 Plug the mains plug into the mains socket.
When the door is opened the interior
lighting comes on.
1 Light switch
2 Temperature regulator
and ON/OFF switch
The temperature regulator is also the ON/OFF
switch.
The large oval switch beside the temperature
regulator is the light switch. When the door is
opened and closed, the light switch switches the
interior lighting on and off.
A coin is needed to turn the temperature regula-
tor. This makes it is more difficult to change the
temperature setting accidentally (child protec-
tion).
The temperature regulator setting
shown means: Refrigeration off.
Turn in the direction of "1":
Refrigeration on, the compressor starts
and then runs automatically.
Position "1" means:
Highest interior temperature (warmest
setting)
This position means:
Lowest interior temperature (coldest
setting)
The following effects are of significance in
respect of the interior temperature:
– Ambient temperature;
– Quantity and temperature of the food
stored;
– Frequency with which the door is opened
and how long it is left open.
The following temperature settings can therefore
only be considered as recommendations that
may well need to be adapted to suit your particu-
lar situation.
Recommended settings:
a) For normal refrigeration without using the
freezer compartment:
– Position "1" to higher setting;
– If lower temperatures are required, mid
position.
b) When frozen foods are stored in the freezer
compartment or fresh food is to be frozen, a
temperature setting of between mid and col-
dest setting should be selected, depending on
the ambient temperature.
Note: At the setting given under b) the fridge
has an average temperature of approx. +5 °C;
the average temperature in the freezer compart-
ment is then approx. –18 °C or colder. These
figures apply at ambient temperatures from
+16 °C to +32 °C.
At higher ambient temperatures, fresh food is
properly frozen with the regulator set to a mid
position, without the fridge becoming too cold.
0 Turn the temperature regulator to the desi-
red setting with the aid of a coin.
The compressor starts and then runs automati-
cally.
Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer
days) and a cold setting on the temperature
regulator can cause the compressor to run
continuously.
