Using the fridge
To start the fridge and set the
correct temperature
Switching on:
Switch on t he fridge by pressing the power switch.
Setting the temperature
Press the buttons until the desired temperature
flashes in the temperature display (The temperature
can be set between +1°C and +9°C.)
"+" raises the temperature.
"-" lowers the temperature.
Once set, the temperature display shows "-" until the
temperature inside the fridge reaches +9°C or below.
Allow the cabinet to run for a period of 24 hours
whenever the temperature setting is changed. This
will allow the temperature to stabilise inside the
cabinet.
It is not necessary to reset the temperature when the
cabinet is switched on after it has been out of use.
The t hermostat recalls the previously set
temperature.

Temperature inside the fridge
A suitable temperature inside the fridge is approx.
+5°C. If the thermostat control is set to a too cold
temperature, food with a high water content may
start to freeze if it has been placed in the coldest
places in the fridge. The picture shows the coldest
and warmest places inside the fridge.
(+ warm, - cold)
Meat, fish and milk should be put in the coldest part
of the cabinet.
The temperature will be affected by:
· How often the door is opened
· How much food is stored
· Position of the appliance (See chapter
Installation)
Measuring the temperature
If the temperature is measured using a standard,
single t hermometer, this should be put in a glass of
water centrally placed inside the cabinet. This will
reflect the temperature inside the food products. Do
not place the thermometer hanging or lying directly
on the shelf.

Hints:
· Distribute foodstuffs to allow cold air to
circulate freely between the products.
· Do not place food products directly against the
cooling plate on the rear wall since they may
freeze in this case.
· Also never put warm products into the cabinet.
Wait until they have cooled down.
· Cover all foods properly to avoid odours and
flavours from tainting other food.
