- The interior light will switch on.

- The temperature display and all buttons will go out.

- The interior light will go out.

Setting the Temperature

• Turn the temperature control ➀➀with a coin until the desired temperature is indicated in the display.The slot positions mean:

Setting 1 = highest temperature,

lowest cooling setting

Setting “max. ”= lowest temperature,

highest cooling setting

• Recommended temperature setting: 41°F (5°C).

Please note that the temperature inside your appliance will depend on where you have put it, the temperature in the room, how often you open the door, and what you put in it. If necessary, re-adjust the temperature control.

˚C

Temperature Setting Display

- When the temperature display ➂➂is illuminated, this indicates that the appliance is running.

- The five blocks in the display each relate to a different temperature range.They indicate the refrigerator temperature setting you have selected.

SuperCooling*

The SuperCooling button ➁➁switches the appliance to maximum cooling.This will enable you to achieve temporarily lower refrigerating temperatures. It is recommended particularly if you wish to cool large quantities of food, drinks, freshly baked cakes or meals rapidly.

• To turn ON: Press the SuperCooling button briefly so that it lights up.

- The refrigerator temperature will drop to its

lowest value.

• To turn OFF: Press the SuperCooling button again so that it goes dark.

- The SuperCooling function uses slightly more

energy. After approximately 6 hours, however, the appliance switches back automatically to normal energy-saving operation.

OPERATION

Fan Switch*

for re-circulated air cooling ➃➃: You can use the fan switch as required to:

- chill large quantities of fresh food fast;

- keep the temperature evenly distributed throughout the entire refrigerator compartment. The air will circulate more intensively, thus keeping all the different areas in the appliance at the same temperature and ensuring that all the food inside is chilled at the same temperature.

• You are recommended to always use the fan switch:

- in high room temperatures (approximately

95°F / 35°C or higher) or

- if the air humidity is high, e.g.during the

summer.

• To turn ON: Press the fan button lights up.

• To turn OFF: Press the fan button again so it goes dark.

- To save energy, the fan will turn off

automatically when the door is open.

REFRIGERATOR

Arranging Food

- Figure 2

The natural circulation of the air inside the refrigerator results in different parts of the refrigerator having different temperatures.This can have its advantages for different types of food.The refrigerator is coldest just above the vegetable bins and against the rear wall (suitable for sausage and meat products etc.); it is warmest at the front at the top and in the door (suitable for spreadable butter, cheese etc.). See Fig. 2 for food storage suggestions.

Notes on cooling

- Store food so that air can circulate properly around it. Do not pack the refrigerator too full.

Do not

cover the fan slits* at the back, otherwise the refrigerating capacity will be impaired!

WARNING

Limit the load of products stored on the door to 50 lb (22,6 kg).

Shelf Arrangement

WARNING

To avoid possible injury, only adjust an empty shelf. Do not attempt to adjust a shelf with food on it.

You can rearrange the height of the shelves and door racks as required.

IMPORTANT

The beverage rack can be installed anywhere except on the bottom.The bottom glass shelf is shorter than the other shelves so the door can close when the gallon shelf on the door is used. DO NOT use any other shelf on the bottom.The beverage rack sits on the glass shelf supports.

Repositioning the door racks

Slide the door rack up, pull out toward you and replace in reverse order.

IMPORTANT

•

Liquids and food which give off or absorb odors and flavors should always be stored covered or in closed containers.

•

High-percentage alcohols should be tightly sealed and stored upright.

•

Fruit, vegetables and salad can be stored unpacked in the bins.

Adjusting the bottle holder

You can protect the bottles from falling over when the door is opened and closed. Always hold by the plastic handle.

Repositioning the shelves

Lift the shelf, slide forward and remove.Always insert shelves with the raised edge at the back pointing up, otherwise food may freeze onto the rear wall.

The narrow storage shelf (6) must be inser ted to match the location of the gallon shelf.

use steam cleaning equipment to clean the appliance.

(Figure 8)

Figure 8

If the surface discolors or rusting appears, clean it quickly with a non-abrasive cloth and protect it. Always clean and polish in the direction of the grain and finish.

• The racks, shelves and other components should be cleaned by hand as they are not dishwasher-safe.

- Always remove the top door rack (butter and

cheese compartment) together with the flap*. Then press one of the side walls carefully to the outside to release the flap pin.The flap can then be lifted out. Make sure not to damage any bushings*.

- The shelves and door racks can be

dismantled for cleaning.Remove the trims and sides from the glass shelves.

- Remove the protective film from the

decorative trims.

• To clean the vegetable, salad and fruit drawers, pull the drawers right out, grip at back and lift out.To re-inser t: place the drawers on the extended rails - the rails must align with the front of the drawer - and slide in.

• Ensure no cleaning water penetrates into the electrical components or ventilation grille.

DO NOT use abrasive or scouring sponges.DO NOT use concentrated cleaning agents.NEVER

use abrasive or acid cleaners or chemical solvents. Keep your stainless steel looking new by cleaning

with a good quality stainless steel cleaner or polish monthly. High quality stainless steel cleaners and conditioners are commercially available.

DO NOT CLEAN WITH STEEL WOOL PADS or ABRASIVE PADS. DO NOT use cleaners that are not for use on stainless steel, such as glass, tile or counter cleaners.These types of cleaners can damage the surface permanently.

Stainless steel that is exposed to chlorine gas and moisture may have some discoloration.This discoloration is normal. If your unit is used in this environment, clean and polish your stainless steel more often.

• Dry all par ts well with a cloth.

Figure 9

• Remove dust from the refrigerator unit and heat exchanger and the metal grid at the back of the appliance.This should be done at least once a year .

• DO NOT damage or remove the model plate on the inside of the appliance. It is very important for servicing your appliance.
