Switching on
the appliance
Switch on the appliance with the On/Off
button. Fig. 1/1
The appliance begins to cool. Light is
switched on when the door is open.
The factory has recommended
the following temperatures:
■ Refrigerator compartment: +4 °C
■ Freezer compartment: –18 °C
Operating tips
■ When the appliance has been
switched on, it may take several hours
until the set temperatures have been
reached.
■ The fully automatic No Frost system
ensures that the freezer compartment
remains free of ice. Defrosting is no
longer required.
■ 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.
Setting
the temperature
Setting the temperature
Turn temperature controller, Fig. 1/5, to
the required setting.

■ 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.

and pastries, preserved food, condensed
milk, hard cheese, fruit and vegetables
sensitive to cold as well as tropical fruit.
Note when loading products
When storing food, comply with
the following:
■ 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.
■ Allow warm food and drinks to cool
down before placing in the appliance.
■ Do not block air outlet openings with
food in the refrigerator compartment,
otherwise the air circulation will be
impaired.
Food which is stored directly in front of
the air outlet openings may be frozen
by the cold air flowing out.
