Operating and Indicator Panel
A B C D
A.Light button
B.Pilot light fast-freeze
C.Fast freeze button
D.Temperature control knob and ON/OFF switch
The temperature control knob (D), which is also the appliance’s On-/Off switch.
The yellow pilot light (B) comes on when the fast freezing button (C) has been operated. The refrigerating unit then operates continuously.
Important note: if you operate the fast-freeze switch or adjust the temperature control knob, the motor might not start immediately. This does not mean that your appliance has a fault.
Starting Up and Temperature Regulation
Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water with a little bicarbonate of soda added (5ml to 0,5 litre of water). Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry the appliance thoroughly.
•Turn the temperature control knob (D) in the direction of “1“.
•Operate the fast-freeze button (C). The yellow pilot lamp (B) comes on.
Setting “•”: Off.
Setting “1”: Hightest temperature, (warmest setting).
Setting “4” (end-stop) : Lowest temperature, (coldest setting).
The exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside the refrigerator depends on:
-the quantity of food stored -how often the door is opened
The temperatures in the refrigerator compartment and freezer compartment cannot be independently regulated.
7
If you want to freeze fresh food rapidly, select setting “4”, ensuring that the temperature in the refrigerator compartment does not drop below 0°C. You should reset the temperature control knob to setting “2” or “3”, if this does occur.
As soon as the fresh food placed in the freezer has frozen, return the temperature control knob to “2” or “3”.
Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting on the temperature regulator (position"3" to "4") can cause the compressor to run continuously.
If this happens, turn the temperature regulator back to a warmer setting (position "2" to "3"). At this setting the compressor will be switched on and off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced.
Interior Accessories
Storage Shelves
The glass shelf above the fruit and vegetable compartment should always remain in position, to ensure fruit and vegetables stay fresh longer.
The remaining storage shelves can be adjusted to various heights:
Pull the storage shelf forward until it
can be tipped up or down and remo- D338 ved.
To insert at a different height use the same procedure in reverse. Adjustment for tall goods:
Remove the front half of the two-part vario glass storage shelf and insert it at a different level. Space is thus gained for storage of tall goods on the underlying storage shelf.
Variable Inner Door
The door compartments can be pulled up and removed, and inserted at other positions as needed.
Variable Storage Box
Some models are equipped with a variable storage box which is fitted under a door shelf compartment and can be slid sideways.
