Temperature setting buttons
The temperature is adjusted using the temperature setting buttons. These buttons are
connected to the temperature indicator.
• The temperature indicator is switched over from the indicator of the ACTUAL temper-
ature (Temperature indicator is illuminated) to the indicator of the DESIRED temperature (Temperature indicator flashes) by pressing one of the Temperature setting buttons.
• Each time one of the two buttons is pressed again the DESIRED temperature is adjus-
ted by 1°C. The DESIRED temperature must be reached within 24 hours.
If neither button is pressed, the temperature indicator automatically switches back after
a short period (approx. 5 sec.) to the indicator of the ACTUAL temperature.
DESIRED temperature means:
The temperature that has been selected for inside the corresponding compartment. The
DESIRED temperature is indicated by flashing numbers.
ACTUAL temperature means:
The temperature indicator shows the current temperature inside the corresponding compartment. The ACTUAL temperature is indicated with illuminated numbers.
Temperature indicators
The temperature indicators show several information:
• During normal operation, the temperature currently set for fridge and freezer are dis-
played.
• When the temperature is being adjusted a flashing display indicates the fridge tem-
perature currently set .

For a correct storage of the food the following temperatures should be set:
• +5 °C in the fridge
• -18 °C in the freezer.
When the setting is changed, the compressor does not start immediately if automatic
defrosting is currently taking place. As the storage temperature within the fridge is

plate , a label located on the inside of the appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food to be frozen.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the
compartment let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings.
If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers and baskets from appliance and place food on cooling shelves to obtain the best performance.
WARNING!
Make sure that foods do not exceed the load limit stated on the side of the upper section
9
(where applicable)
In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power
has been off for longer that the value shown in the technical characteristics chart under
"rising time", the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and
then re-frozen (after cooling).
Frozen Food Calendar
The symbols show different types of frozen goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods.
Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the
quality of the foods and treating before freezing.
