11.1 General information on using the appliance
▪ When closing an appliance door make sure that it forms a proper seal all the way
round. The self-closing hinges help keep it closed: the appliance doors close by them-
selves if the opening angle is between 20–30°.
▪ The electronic controller defrosts the refrigerator compartment once a day. A visible
layer of snow and ice on the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment is therefore nor-
mal.
▪ At high ambient temperatures, a significant amount of ice may form on the rear wall.
This is normal: due to the high humidity, more water condenses in the appliance and
ices up. Defrost the appliance manually only if necessary.
▪ The food must not come into contact with the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment
or it may freeze on. Additionally, water may enter the refrigerator compartment during
defrosting.
▪ It can take several hours for food and beverages to cool down from room temperature
to the temperature of the refrigerator compartment.
▪ Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature
in the cooling zones of the appliance.
▪ Make sure that food or food items on the glass shelves do not tip over when the appli-
ance door is closed or prevent it from closing properly.
▪ Changing the temperature setting has no effect on the cooling rate. The fast cooling/
freezing functions (depending on model) increase the cooling rate.
▪ Placing very warm 2 or very cold items 3 (e.g. warm, bottled sauces or frozen food for
defrosting) directly in front of the temperature sensor 1 can affect the temperature reg-
ulation of the appliance adversely: it may cool too little or too much.

11.2 Notes on saving energy
▪ Leave the drawers, glass shelves and door trays as far as possible in the positions
that they were in upon delivery. These ensure ideal temperature distribution and effi-
ciency.
▪ Only open the appliance doors when necessary and keep them open for as short a
time as possible.
▪ Allow hot or warm food to cool down before putting it in the appliance.
▪ Store food that releases moisture in closed containers or covered in the refrigerator
compartment. Moisture can cause the rear wall of the refrigerator to ice up more
quickly and reduce its cooling capacity.
▪ For ideal air circulation: Do not store food and food items too close to each other.
