Dismount the door handle and attach it to the
corresponding other door outer side. Refer to the
instructions in "Assembling the door handle".
Transfer the cover caps on the exposed holes to
the respective other door outer side.
Check that the door is optimally aligned both vertical-
ly and horizontally to ensure smooth opening and
closing of the door.
Startup / Operation
Prior to first use
CAUTION:
After transport, the appliance should be left standing
upright for four hours before connecting to the power
supply. Nonobservance could lead to malfunction of
the cooling system and causes an appliance break-
down.
Clean the appliance interior including all accessory
parts. Consider the instructions which we provide in
the chapter “Cleaning and Maintenance”.
Starting the appliance
Connect the appliance to the power supply.
Operate the temperature control with the help of
the included plastic plate. See also the section
"Settings".
Settings
The power levels [ COLD – COLDER ] regulate the
different values of the internal temperature.
Setting COLD:
Lowest setting (warmest inside temperature)
Setting MID:
Medium setting (optimal operating temperature)
Setting COLDER:
Highest setting (coldest inside temperature)
Note that the temperature will change depending on
the ambient temperature, frequency of door opening
and the amount of food in the appliance.
During initial operation, turn the temperature control
to the highest setting first, until the appliance has
reached the desired operating temperature. After-
wards it is recommended to turn the control back to a
medium setting; correcting the temperature at a later
point would then be easier.
NOTE:
In generally a low to medium power level works best
for an optimized food storage. A high power level
also increases the energy consumption.
Storing food
NOTE: Recommendation!
To guarantee that the temperature is low enough,
you should pre-cool the appliance a few times before
initial loading foods.
CAUTION:
Always pay attention to the storage instructions on
the sales packaging.
The 4-star freezer allows you to store frozen food at
a temperature of ≤ -18°C for several months; to pro-
duce ice cubes and to freeze fresh food.
To avoid contamination of food, respect the following
instructions:
Opening the door for long periods can cause a
significant increase of the temperature in the
compartments of the appliance.
Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact
with food and accessible drainage systems (see
“Cleaning and Maintenance”).
Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in
the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or
drip onto other food.
If the appliance is out of use for long period, fol-
low the instructions under "Switching off".
