Connecting the
appliance
After installing the appliance, wait at least
1/2 hour until the appliance starts up.
During transportation the oil in the
compressor may have flowed into the
refrigeration system.
Before switching on the appliance for the
first time, clean the interior (see Cleaning).
The socket should be freely accessible.
Connect the appliance to 220ć240 V/
50 Hz alternating current via a correctly
installed earthed socket. The socket must
be fused with a 10 A fuse or higher.
If the appliance is to be operated in
a nonĆEuropean country, check on
the rating plate whether the indicated
voltage and current type correspond
to the values of your mains supply.
The rating plate is situated in the
bottom leftĆhand side of the appliance.
The power cord may be replaced by
an electrician only.
Switching on the
appliance
Rotate temperature selector, Fig. 2/2,
from controller position 0".
Interior light is switched on when the door
is open.
Selecting the temperature
We recommend storing perishable foods
at a temperature not warmer than +4 ºC.
When the controller is at a medium
setting, the temperature drops to
approx. +4 ºC in the coldest zone, Fig. 6.
A higher setting lowers the temperature
in the refrigerator and freezer
compartments.
We recommend:
S for shortĆterm storage of food:
low controller setting (energyĆsaving
mode)
S for longĆterm storage of food:
medium controller setting
S set a high controller setting only
temporarily if: door is opened frequently,
large amounts of food are placed
in the refrigerator compartment.
Refrigerating capacity
The temperature in the refrigerator
compartment may rise temporarily
if large amounts of food or a lot of
drinks are placed in the refrigerator
compartment.
Therefore the temperature controller
should be set to a high setting for approx.
7 hours.
