Starting up and temperature regulation
Insert the plug of the connection lead into the plug socket with protective earth contact. When the ref-
rigerator compartment door is opened, the internal lighting is switched on.
The temperature selector knob is located on the RH side of the refrigerator compartment.
Setting „0“ means:
Off.
Turning clockwise in direction „1“:
Refrigerating unit on, the latter then operating automatically.
Setting „1“ means:
Hightest temperature, warmest setting.
Setting „6“ (end-stop) means:
Lowest temperature, coldest setting.
At a low ambient temperature of around 16°C, setting „1“
should be selected. At ambient temperatures of around 25°C, select setting „2“.
If you require a lower temperature, select setting „3“ or „4”.
Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting on the temperature regulator
(position"5" to "6") can cause the compressor to run continuously.
Reason: when the ambient temperature is high, the compressor must run continuously to maintain the
low temperature in the appliance. The fridge will not be able to defrost since automatic defrosting of the
fridge is only possible when the compressor is not running (see also "Defrosting" section). The result is
the build up of a thick layer of frost on the fridge rear wall.
If this happens, turn the temperature regulator back to a warmer setting (position "3" to "4"). At this
setting the compressor will be switched on and off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced.
