EN-5 and all the safety notices.
• Set up and connect the appliance as de-
scribed in chapter ‘Start-up’ from page
EN-22.
Switching the appliance on
and off
NOTICE
Risk of damage!
If the cooling unit has been transport-
ed horizontally, lubricant from the com-
pressor may get into the cooling circuit.
■
Allow the appliance to stand upright
for approx. 2 hours after transport
and before connecting.

(11)
The temperature controller is also (11) used
to switch the appliance on and off. It is at the
top in the fridge compartment.
Switching on
1. Set the temperature controller (11) to a
setting of between ‘1’ and ‘7’.
The appliance is then switched on. The
compressor starts to work, the refrigerant
flows through the pipes and a quiet hum-
ming sound can be heard. The interior light
will switch on as soon as the door is opened
and will switch off if the door is closed.
2. If the appliance is making unusual noises,
check that it is stable and remove any ob-
jects that may be on top of it.
Switching off
1. Set the temperature controller (11) to ‘0’.
The compressor is switched off. The appli-
ance doesn’t refrigerate. The interior light
continues to function.
2. To switch the appliance off completely,
pull the mains plug out of the socket.
3. If the appliance is switched off, leave the
doors open slightly to avoid mould forma-
tion.
Setting the temperature
CAUTION
Health hazard!
The appliance may not operate proper-
ly if exposed to low ambient tempera-
tures for extended periods of time. The
temperature may increase in the fridge
and freezer compartments which may
cause the foods stored within to spoil
more quickly.
■
Always ensure the prescribed ambi-
ent temperature is maintained (see
‘Intended use’ on page EN-4).
If you set a lower temperature, you will
need a higher cooling performance.
This increases the energy consump-
tion.
Using the temperature controller (11), you can
set the temperature in the fridge and freezer
compartments.
• First select a medium setting.
• If, for example in summer, the ambient
temperature increases, so select a lower
setting accordingly.
• In order to
– increase the refrigeration output in the
fridge and freezer compartments, turn
the temperature controller towards ‘7’.
