Before you use the appliance for the first time
Do not connect the appliance to the mains until you have carefully read the instructions for the
correct and safe use of the appliance. As these instructions are for various types and models,
it is possible that the instructions for use refer to settings or parts that are not available on
your appliance. We recommend that you keep these instructions for future use. If you sell the
appliance, enclose them with the appliance.
Inspect the appliance for damage and/or irregularities. If the appliance is damaged, contact the
store that sold you the appliance.
Allow the appliance to stand upright for at least 4 hours before you connect the appliance to the
mains. This reduces the risk of malfunctions resulting from transport effects on the refrigerant unit.
Before using the appliance for the first time, the interior and all internal accessories should be
cleaned with lukewarm water and a neutral cleaning agent. Wipe the cleaned parts with a cloth
with clean water and then dry them thoroughly.
If you use the appliance for the first time, do not put food into the appliance until the temperature
has decreased to the set temperature.
Energy-saving advice
• Install the appliance as stated in the instructions for use.
• Do not open the door more than necessary.
• Never cover or obstruct the ventilation openings.
• Replace a door seal that is damaged or no longer seals properly as quickly as possible.
• Store food in well-sealed containers or suitable packaging.
• Allow food to cool to room temperature before you put it in the appliance.
• Defrost food in the refrigerator compartment.
• Defrost a conventional freezer once a layer of about 2 to 3 millimetres of frost or ice has
formed on the inside.
• Space the shelves evenly in the refrigerator compartment. Place the food so that the air
can circulate freely in the appliance (follow the recommendations for the location of foods
enclosed in the instructions).
• When the appliance is equipped with a fan then make sure that the ventilation openings are
kept clear.
• The lower the set temperature, the higher the power consumption.
