How to operate the refrigerator/freezer
Connect the appliance to
the water supply and power
supply
(see Installation manual).
When the appliance is
connected to the power
supply, two hyphens will
appear on the freezer
display until the optimal
temperature is reached.
The refrigerator display will
show a temperature of 5°C
(factory set).
When the appliance is
warm, the red alarm LED
will blink and the acoustic
alarm will sound, indicating
that the appliance has not
yet reached the optimal
temperature for storage of
foodstuffs.
Press the Reset button
to stop the acoustic
alarm.
The red LED will stop
blinking when the freezer
compartment reaches at
least
-12°C. At this point it is
possible to store food into
the freezer compartment.
After being switched on,
the refrigerator needs 2/3
hours to reach the correct
temperature to store a
typical volume of food in
the refrigerator
compartment.
IMPORTANT: If food is
placed in the refrigerator
before the appliance has
cooled completely, it may
deteriorate. Turning the
refrigerator and freezer
controls to a cooler than
recommended setting will
not cool the compartments
any faster.
Do not place food near the
air vents in the refrigerator
compartment.
A built-in exterior moisture
control continuously guards
against moisture build-up
on the front edges. Do not
be alarmed if these edges
sometimes feel warm to the
touch.
The inside light switches on
when both doors are
opened.
