Switching
the appliance on
Turn temperature controller, Fig. 2/A,
from position “0”. The appliance begins
to cool. Light is switched on when
the door is open.
Operating tips
■ The sides of the housing are
sometimes heated slightly. This
prevents condensation in the area of
the door seal.
■
If the freezer compartment door
cannot be immediately re-opened after
it has been closed, wait until the
resulting low pressure has equalised.
The refrigerator compartment
temperature rises:
■ if the appliance door is opened
frequently,
■ if large quantities of food are placed in
the refrigerator compartment,
■ if the ambient temperature is high.
Setting
the temperature
Turn temperature controller, Fig. 2/A, to
the required setting.
When the controller is at a medium
setting, the temperature drops
to approx. +4 °C in the coldest zone.
Fig. 3.
Higher settings lower the temperature in
the refrigerator and freezer compartment.
We recommend:
■ Perishable food should not be stored
above +4 °C.
■ Low setting for short-term
storage of food (energy-saving mode).
■
Medium setting for long-term storage
of food.
■
Select a higher setting only
temporarily, when the door is
frequently opened or large quantities
are placed in the refrigerator
compartment.
Refrigeration capacity
The temperature in the refrigerator
compartment may rise temporarily if
large amounts of food or a lot of drinks
are placed inside.
Therefore the temperature controller
should be set to a higher setting for
approx. 7 hours.
Freezer compartment
The temperature in the freezer
compartment depends on
the temperature in the refrigerator
compartment.
Lower temperatures in the refrigerator
compartment also cause lower
temperatures in the freezer
compartment.
