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 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 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.
Usable capacity
Information on the usable capacity
can be found inside your
appliance on the rating plate.
Refrigerator
compartment
The refrigerator compartment is the ideal
storage location for ready meals, cakes
and pastries, preserved food, condensed
milk, hard cheese, fruit and vegetables
sensitive to cold as well as tropical fruit.
Note when loading products:
Wrap or cover food before placing in
the appliance. This will retain the aroma,
colour and freshness of the food. In
addition, flavours will not be transferred
between foods and the plastic parts will
not become discoloured.
