regulates the temperature as follows:
• Min. (left limit) = warmest setting
• Max. (right limit) = coldest setting
NOTE
I
Conserving foodstuffs
You can conserve foodstuffs in the refrigerator. The time for which the food can be
conserved in this way is usually stated on the package.
The cooling capacity can be influenced by:
• The ambient temperature
• The amount of food to be conserved
• The frequency with which the door is opened.
NOTICE!
A
I
The refrigerator is divided in different zones with different temperatures:
• The colder zones are immediately above the drawers for fruit and vegetables,
near the back wall.
• Observe the temperature information and best before date on the food
packaging.
➤ Observe the following when using the refrigerator:
• Never re-freeze products which have started defrosting or have been defrosted;
consume them as soon as possible.
Do not conserve any warm foodstuffs in the refrigerator.
Do not place glass containers with liquids in the freezer compartments.
NOTE
Food which can easily absorb tastes and odours and liquids and
products with a high alcohol content should be conserved in air-tight
containers.
• Wrap food in aluminium foil or cling film and shut in in a suitable box with a lid.
This ensures that aromas, the shape and the freshness will be better conserved.

This is how to defrost the refrigerator:
➤ Take the contents out.
➤ If necessary, put them in another cooling appliance.
➤ Set the knob to “0”.
➤ Leave the door open.
➤ Wipe off the water resulting from defrosting or – if present – empty the collecting
tray. If your device has a water drain, drain the thawed water off.
Never use hard or pointed tools to remove ice or to loosen objects
which have frozen in place.
Switching off and storing the refrigerator
If you do not intend to use the refrigerator for a long time, proceed as follows:
➤ Set the knob to level “0”.
➤ Disconnect the power cable from the battery or pull the DC cable plug out of the
rectifier.
➤ Clean the refrigerator (see chapter “Cleaning and maintenance” on page 20).
➤ Set the lock to the “VENT” position.
This prevents odours from forming.
Securing the refrigerator door
