The appliance begins to cool. Light is
switched on when the door is open.
The factory has recommended
the following temperatures:
■
Refrigerator compartment: +4 °C

Operating tips
■
When the appliance has been
switched on, it may take several hours
until the set temperatures have been
reached.
■
The fully automatic No Frost system
ensures that the freezer compartment
remains free of ice. Defrosting is no
longer required.
■
The sides of the housing are
sometimes heated slightly. This
prevents condensation in the area of
the door seal.
■
If the freezer compartment door
cannot be immediately re-opened after
it has been closed, wait until the
resulting low pressure has equalised.

Select a higher setting only
temporarily, when the door is
frequently opened or large quantities
are placed in the refrigerator
compartment.
