Prior to Initial Start–Up
Before connecting the appliance to the mains and putting it into
1
operation for the first time, leave the appliance to stand for 30 minutes
if was transported upright. After transport on its side, the appliance
must be left to stand for 2 hours before putting it into operation. This is
necessary to allow the refrigerant to flow back into the compressor.
Otherwise the compressor may be damaged.
01. Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial
start-up (see section: “Maintenance and Cleaning”).
2. The appliance must be correctly installed in accordance with the chapter "Installation" before it is put into operation for the first time. Care
should be especially taken that the mains voltage and frequency available correspond with the appliance’s rating plate.
Initial Start-Up
0 1. Insert plug into mains socket.
2. Press ON/OFF button.
The compressor starts and then runs automatically.
3. Set temperature to +5 °C or colder (see section: "Temperature Adjustment").
Goods to be refrigerated can be loaded immediately after switching on,
3
because the storage temperature in the refrigerator is quickly reached.
Temperature Adjustment
With the buttons for temperature adjustment the desired temperatures
in the refrigerator can be adjusted.
01. Press either the „+“ (WARMER) or „-“ (COLDER) button.
The temperature display switches over and the DESIRED temperature
currently set flashes on the temperature display.
2. To adjust to a warmer temperature, press the „+“ (WARMER) button. To
adjust to a colder temperature, press the „-“ (COLDER) button. The
changed setting is immediately displayed on the temperature display.
Each time the button is pressed the temperature is adjusted by 1 °C.
Adjustable temperature range: +2 °C to +8 °C, +15 °C (Holiday mode)
16818 35 69-02/2
Note: From a food safety point of view, +5 °C for the refrigerator
compartment should be considered cold enough as a storage
temperature.
When the buttons are not further pressed after an adjustment has been
3
made, after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) the temperature display switches over and again displays the ACTUAL temperature in the refrigerator. The display changes from flashing to illuminated numbers.
Information! When the setting is changed, the compressor does not
start immediately if automatic defrosting is currently taking place.
Switching the Appliance off
01. To switch off, push and hold the ON/OFF button for approx. 5 seconds.
This will result in a countdown from "3" to "1" taking place in the temperature display. On reaching "1" the fridge will switch off. The temperature display will go off.
The appliance is only completely disconnected from the electricity
3
supply when the power plug has been removed from the power outlet.
Note:
The appliance cannot be switched on or off if unplugged, or if there is
no power being supplied to it.
Following connection to the mains power supply, the appliance returns
to the same operating state as before the interruption of main power.
If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period:
01. Switch off the appliance, to do this press the ON/OFF button (see
above).
2. Remove the mains plug.
3. Clean the appliance thoroughly (see section: "Maintenance and Clean-
ing").
4. Leave door open to avoid accumulation of odours.
818 35 69-02/217
Holiday Mode
In the holiday mode the temperature for the refrigerator is approximately +15 °C. In the holiday mode it is therefore possible to leave the
door of the empty refrigerator closed during periods of extended
absence. Advantage: Unintentional closing of the door, or accidental
closing of the door by persons who have access to your home during
your absence, is no longer possible. Without the holiday mode leaving
the door closed would lead to the accumulation of odours and mould.
After emptying and cleaning the appliance, proceed as follows:
01. To set the holiday mode, press the „+“ (WARMER) or „-“ (COLDER) but-
ton.
The temperature display will change and indicate in flashing numbers
the DESIRED temperature that is currently set.
2. Hold down the „+“ (WARMER) button until the temperature display
indicates H (for holiday). The temperature shown in the temperature
display will change in steps of 1 °C until it reaches +8 °C. After +8 °C
the value +15 °C will appear in the display with the letter H. The fridge
is now operating in energy-saving holiday mode.
To switch the fridge back to normal operation, press the „-“ (COLDER)
3
button.
Important! Do not store any goods in the refrigerator when the holiday
mode is in operation. The temperature is regulated at about +15 °C
when the holiday mode is in operation. This is too warm for food products.
Opening the Door
If the door is closed when the appliance is in operation, it cannot be
immediately opened again, because a vacuum occurs which holds the
door closed until pressure has been equalised. The door can be opened
again after several minutes.
18818 35 69-02/2
Control and Information Systems
The control and information systems consist of the temperature display,
an optical warning display and an acoustic warning.
The system warns if:
– if the appliance door remains open for longer than 5 minutes;
– if the temperature in the fridge compartment is too warm;
– functional errors at the appliance.
"Open Door" Warning
If the fridge door is left open for longer than 5 minutes the red warning display will flash and an acoustic warning tone will sound.
If you need more time to load or rearrange refrigerated foods, you can
switch off the warning tone by pressing the ALARM OFF button.
The red warning display will go off when the door is closed.
Temperature warning
The red warning light flashes and a warning tone sounds, as soon as the
temperature in the refrigerator is warmer than 12 °C. Such a rise in
temperature can possibly be put down to:
– opening the door a lot or leaving it open for a long time;
– storing larger quantities of warm food;
– a fault with the appliance.
You can turn off the warning tone using the ALARM OFF button.
The warning light and the warning tone switch off automatically,
when the ACTUAL temperature existing in the refrigerator drops below
12 °C again.
Function Errors
If the appliance electronics detects a technical fault that needs to be
rectified by customer service, the temperature display shows a square in
the upper part of the temperature display. The red warning indicator
flashes. The appliance will continue to operate in emergency mode.
