Operation
Before getting started
• Read chapter “Safety” from page EN-4 and
all the safety notices.
• Set up and connect the appliance as
described in chapter “Start-up” from
page EN-23.
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 makes unusual noises,
check that it is on a solid base and re-
move any objects that are on top of the
appliance.
Switching off
• To switch the appliance off, pull the mains
plug out of the socket.
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
need higher cooling performance. This
increases energy consumption.
Switching on for the first time
When the appliance is switched on the first
time, the standard temperature setting is
+4 °C for the fridge and –18 °C for the freezer.
All symbols on the display will also illuminate
for a couple of seconds.
Setting the temperature in the
fridge
The fridge temperature can be set between
+2 °C and +6 °C.
• Press the
°C
button (22) repeatedly until
the desired temperature is shown.
+6
+4
+2
The indicator changes each time the button
is pressed. After “ ”, “6” lights up again.
The lowest possible setting is +2 °C, and
the highest possible setting is +6 °C.
The ideal fridge temperature is +6 °C.
