56 - English
Do not load the cooling chamber (6) and ice cube compartment (9) 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 (6).
10.1. Switching off the appliance

To de-energise the appliance, set the temperature control (7) to 0 and pull the mains
plug out of the socket.

Wait approx. 10 minutes before switching on the appliance again.
10.2. Tips on saving energy

The energy consumption will be lowest if the wire shelf (8) with storage tray (1) are left
inside the appliance when it is in use.

If the appliance is left empty for an extended period of time, switch it off. Defrost 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 fridge.

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 chamber.

If a layer of ice has formed, defrost the appliance. A thick coating of ice will adversely
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 (7) according to how full the appliance is.
10.3. Storing food in the cooling chamber
NOTICE!
Possible material damage!
Possible risk of damage to the door seal

Sensitive surfaces: Do not allow oil and grease to come
into contact with the plastic parts and the door seal as
the surface can become porous and brittle.
To avoid food from becoming contaminated, please observe the following instructions:

Regularly clean surfaces that may come into contact with food and accessible drain
systems.
