Operation
Before getting started
• Read the “Safety” chapter from page EN-4.
• Set up and connect the appliance as
described in chapter “Start-up” from
page EN-26.
Switching the appliance on
and off
NOTICE
Risk of damage!
If the cooling appliance has been trans-
ported horizontally, lubricant from the
compressor may get into the cooling
circuit.
■
Allow the appliance to stand upright
for approx. 2 hours after transport
and before connecting.
Switching on
The appliance is switched on as soon as the
mains plug is plugged in.
The compressor starts to work, the refrigerant
flows through the pipes and a quiet humming
sound can be heard.
The symbols on the control panel illuminate
for 3 seconds.
If the appliance is making unusual
noises, check that it is stable and re-
move any objects that may be on top
of it.
Switching off
• To switch the appliance off, remove the
mains plug from the socket or set the tem-
perature controller in the fridge (16) to the
“OFF” position.
If the appliance is switched off, leave
the doors open slightly to avoid mould
formation.
Setting the temperature
CAUTION
Health hazard!
The appliance may not operate proper-
ly if exposed to low ambient tempera-
tures for extended periods of time. The
temperature may increase in the fridge
and freezer which may cause the foods
stored within to spoil more quickly.
■
Always ensure the prescribed ambi-
ent temperature is maintained (see
“Intended use” on page EN-4).
If you set a lower temperature, you will
require greater refrigeration perfor-
mance. This increases energy con-
sumption.
Setting the temperature in the
fridge
The temperature controller in the fridge (16)
has 4 settings: OFF, COLD, COLDER and
COLDEST.
If the temperature controller in the fridge is in
the “OFF” position, the compressor will not
function.
The following table gives a general over-
view of the interior temperatures that can be
achieved with the individual settings:
Setting
Temperature
OFF
––
COLD
approx. 8–11 °C
COLDER
approx. 4–7 °C
COLDEST
approx. 0–3 °C
The manufacturer recommends using the
COLDER setting.
The ideal fridge temperature is +6 °C.
