The temperature controller is also (11) used
to switch the appliance on and off. It is situ-
ated on the right-hand wall of the fridge com-
partment.
Switching on
1. Set the temperature controller (11) to a
setting of between “1” and “7”.
The appliance is then switched on. The
compressor starts to work, the refrigerant
flows through the pipes and a quiet hum-
ming sound can be heard. The interior
light will switch on as soon as the door is
opened and will switch off if the door is
closed.
2. If the appliance makes worrying noises
check the solid base and remove any ob-
jects that are on top of the appliance.
Switching off
1. Set the temperature controller (11) to “0”.
The compressor is switched off. The ap-
pliance doesn’t refrigerate. The interior
light is switched off.
2. To switch the appliance off completely,
pull the mains plug out of the socket.
Operation
3. If the appliance is switched off, leave the
doors open slightly to avoid mould forma-
tion.
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 compartments which may
cause the foods stored within to spoil
more quickly.
■
Always abide by the prescribed am-
bient temperature (see the
“
Climate
categories
”
line on page GB-29).
Using the temperature controller (11), you can
set the temperature in the fridge and freezer
compartments.
• First select a medium setting.
• If, for example in summer, the ambient
temperature increases, so select a lower
setting accordingly.
• In order to
– increase the refrigeration output in the
fridge and freezer compartments, turn
the temperature controller towards “7”.
– decrease the refrigeration output in the
fridge and freezer compartments, turn
the temperature controller towards “1”.
You ideally need two refrigerator/freezer ther-
mometers to be able to control the refrigera-
tion output.
• Place
– one above the vegetable drawer (7) in
the fridge compartment; the correct tem-
perature here is +6 ° C.
– the other in the freezer compartment; the
ideal storage temperature is
−
18 ° C.
