Correct use
Do not handle frozen items when
~
your hands are wet. Your hands could
freeze to the item(s). Risk of injury!
Never put ice or popsicles in your
~
mouth immediately after taking them
out of the freezer - your lips or tongue
could freeze to the item(s). Risk of
injury!
Never re-freeze food that has been
~
partially or completed thawed.
Defrosted food should be used
promptly, before it loses nutritional
value or spoils. However, once it has
been cooked, thawed food can be
refrozen.
Never store explosive materials or
~
products with flammable propellants
(spray cans, for example) in the
appliance. Sparking can occur when
the thermostat switches on. This can
cause flammable gasses to explode.
Do not operate any electrical
~
devices in the appliance (soft ice
cream maker, for example). This could
cause sparking. Danger of explosion!
High proof alcohol should be stored
~
upright in tightly closed bottles in the
10
refrigerator section.
Danger of explosion!

The high quality surface coating of
~
the door is getting easily scratched.
Even refrigerator magnets can cause
these scratches.
Disposing of your old
refrigerator / freezer
Before disposing of your old
~
fridge/freezer, first make the door latch
or lock unusable.
This will prevent children from
accidentally locking themselves in and
endangering their lives.
Be careful not to damage any part of
~
the cooling system, for example by
–
puncturing the coolant channels in
the evaporator.
–
kinking any pipework.
–
scratching the surface coating.
Caution: Splashes of coolant can

The correct temperature
The correct temperature is very
important for storing food. If food is not
stored at the correct temperature,
bacteria can multiply rapidly, causing
the food to spoil. This can be prevented
or slowed down by selecting the
correct temperature. Temperature
affects the rate at which bacteria can
multiply. Reducing the temperature
slows down this process.
The temperature in the appliance will
rise for the following reasons:
if you open the door frequently, or
–
keep it open too long,
– if you put too much food in it,
– if you put food in it that is too warm,
– if the ambient temperature is too
high.
The appliance is designed for use
within a certain climate range (room
temperature range), and should not
be used outside this range.
...inthefreezer
For freezing fresh food and storing
frozen food for longer periods of time,
the temperature needs to be at least
0°F (-18°C). At this temperature, most
bacteria stop growing. However, when
the temperature rises above 14°F
(-10°C) the bacteria become active,
causing the food to start deteriorating
and reducing the storage life. This is
why any partially or completely thawed
food must never be refrozen until it has
been cooked. High cooking
temperatures will kill most bacteria.
Temperature display
During normal operation, the
temperature display shows on the
control panel the temperature in the
middle of the refrigerator section and
the temperature in the warmest part of
the freezer section.
...intherefrigerator
We recommend a temperature of 39°F
(4°C) in the middle of the appliance.
18
Setting the temperature
The temperatures for the refrigerator
section and the freezer section are set

X button: to decrease the temperature
Y button: to increase the temperature.
The temperature being set will flash in
the display.
When you tap the buttons, you will see
the following changes in the
temperature display:
–
When first tapped: The last
temperature selected flashes.
–
Each subsequent tapping:
adjusts the temperature in
increments of 1°F / 1°C.
The correct temperature
Holding down the button will adjust
–
the temperature continuously.
When the highest / lowest
temperature is reached the X / Y
button disappears.
Approximately 5 seconds after you
release the button, the actual average
temperature in the refrigerator or
freezer section will automatically be
displayed.
If you have adjusted the temperature,
wait approx. 6 hours if the appliance is
not very full or approx. 24 hours if it is
full before checking the temperature
display again. It will take that long to
reach the selected temperature. If, after
this amount of time, the temperature is
too high or too low, you will need to
adjust it again.
Temperature ranges
The temperature can be selected within
the following ranges:
–
In the refrigerator section, from 36 to
44°F (2°C to 7°C).
–
In the freezer section, 6 to -15°F
(-14° to -26°C).
The ambient temperature in the room
and the installation location can affect
the time it takes for the appliance to
reach the coldest temperature. If the
ambient temperature is too high, it may
not be possible for the appliance to
reach the lowest temperature.

temperature in the freezer section does
not rise unnoticed and to avoid energy
being wasted if the door is left open.
Switching the alarm system
ON
The alarm system is always active. It
does not need to be switched on
manually.
Temperature alarm
If the temperature in the freezer section
becomes too warm, an alarm will
sound.
The alarm off button flashes red and the
