Before you use the appliance for the first time
Do not connect the appliance to the mains until you have carefully read the instructions for the
correct and safe use of the appliance. As these instructions are for various types and models,
it is possible that the instructions for use refer to settings or parts that are not available on
your appliance. We recommend that you keep these instructions for future use. If you sell the
appliance, enclose them with the appliance.
Inspect the appliance for damage and/or irregularities. If the appliance is damaged, contact the
store that sold you the appliance.
Allow the appliance to stand upright for at least 4 hours before you connect the appliance to the
mains. This reduces the risk of malfunctions resulting from transport effects on the refrigerant unit.
Before using the appliance for the first time, the interior and all internal accessories should be
cleaned with lukewarm water and a neutral cleaning agent. Wipe the cleaned parts with a cloth
with clean water and then dry them thoroughly.
If you use the appliance for the first time, do not put food into the appliance until the temperature
has decreased to the set temperature.
Energy-saving advice
• Install the appliance as stated in the instructions for use.
• Do not open the door more than necessary.
• Never cover or obstruct the ventilation openings.
• Replace a door seal that is damaged or no longer seals properly as quickly as possible.
• Store food in well-sealed containers or suitable packaging.
• Allow food to cool to room temperature before you put it in the appliance.
• Defrost a conventional frozen compartment once a layer of about 2 to 3 millimetres of frost
or ice has formed on the inside.
• The lower the set temperature, the higher the power consumption.
• High ambient temperatures have a negative effect on energy use. Keep the appliance in a
position away from direct sunlight or other sources of heat.
• Make sure there is sufficient space around the appliance so a good ventilation and air flow
around the appliance is possible.
• The condenser on the rear wall should always be clean, free of dust or any impurities.
