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.
