
Before loading fresh food, set the cooling chamber temperature to the coldest
setting
7
and close the door.

Check the temperature in the cooling chamber compartment with a thermome-
ter. The ideal temperature is +4 °C. You can load the food once this temperature
is reached. Then set the temperature control (8) to a centre position.
The internal temperatures can be influenced by factors such as the in-
stallation location, ambient temperature and the number of times the
door is opened. Take these factors into account when setting the tem-
perature control (8).
Do not load the cooling chamber and ice cube compartment (1) before
the appliance has cooled.

Place food or drinks, which are at max. room temperature, into the refrigerator.
Do not place hot food or drinks into the cooling chamber.
8.1. Switching off the appliance

To de-energise the appliance, set the temperature control (8) to
0
and unplug
the mains plug from the socket.

Wait approx. 10 minutes before switching on the appliance again.
9. Tips on saving energy

The energy consumption will be lowest if the wire shelf (6) with drip tray (7) are
left inside the appliance when it is in use.

If the refrigerator is left empty for an extended period of time, switch it off. De-
frost and clean the appliance and allow it to dry. Leave the door open to prevent
mould from forming in the appliance.

Do not position the appliance near a heat source (radiator or cooker etc.).

Ensure that air can circulate freely around the refrigerator.

During defrosting, turn the frozen food in the cooling chamber. This enables the
temperature of the frozen food to be used to cool the food in the cooling cham-
ber.

If a layer of ice has formed, defrost the appliance. A thick coating of ice will ad-
versely affect the energy consumption.

If the door is left open for a long time, this can cause the temperature inside
the appliance zones to increase significantly. Only open the door briefly when
loading and removing foodstuffs. Less cold can escape if the door is left open
for only a short time and therefore the appliance requires less energy. Opening
the door for less time also means that less ice forms on the walls of the ice cube
compartment.

Set the temperature control (8) according to how full the appliance is.
