10 Using the fridge
Switch on / off and selecting the temperature
Temperature dial (thermostat)
The temperature dial switches the appliance on and off and
sets the cooling temperature.
Switch on:
Turn the temperature dial to the right. Your fridge has
been switched on. The light in the fridge compartment
comes on. The compressor runs until the set temperature
has been reached.
Temperature settings:
Turn dial left to
lowest setting
= slight cooling
Turn dial right to
highest setting =
lowest temperature
The temperature must be set according to:
room temperature
quantity of stored food
how often the appliance is opened
We recommend a medium setting. You will soon learn,
through observation, which is the most suitable setting for
your requirements.
Switch off:
Turn the dial as far to the left as possible.
The light in the fridge compartment goes off.
The compressor has been switched off.
Interior lighting (not available on all models)
For those models equipped with interior lighting, a
Switch has been built in.
When the fridge has been switched on at the temperature
dial, the light automatically comes on when the fridge door is
opened and automatically goes off when the door is closed.
The light bulb is protected by a transparent cover.
Changing the light bulb:
Replacing the light bulb:
Under no circumstances should you use a lamp with a
wattage more than that specified on the original lamp.
Unplug the fridge and switch off the main fuse.
Remove the transparent lamp cover
(as far as available).
Remove the old bulb by unscrewing it and screw in the
replacement bulb.
Fit the lamp cover back in place.
See also instruction in chapter “Product overview.
LED lights may only be replaced by a qualified specialist.
There is generally no warranty for bulbs.
Temperature range
Thanks to the natural air circulation in the fridge
compartment there is a range of differing temperatures that
is suitable for the storage of different food. The coldest
areas are directly over the salad crispers, in the lowest part
of the fridge and against the back wall (suitable e.g. for
sausages and meats); the warmest areas are in the front
upper part and on the door (suitable for spread able butter
and cheese).
Arrange the food according to the following table and store it
not too tightly packed so that the air can circulate freely.
Storing food in the fridge
(from the top to the bottom)
1. Door storage compartments
a) Butter, cheese
b) Eggs
c) Small jars or bottles, tins, seasonings
d) Large bottles, tins
2. Fridge compartment (shelving / glass plates)
a) Preserves
b) pastries, ready cooked foods
c) Dairy produce / meats and sausages
d) Meats and sausages
e) Vegetables, fruits, salad
Advice
Food that gives off, or absorb, slight odour or taste, as
well as liquids, should always be kept in sealed containers
or in their own packaging; high proof spirits should be
stored upright and tightly closed.
Vegetables, fruits, salad can be stored unpacked in the
salad crispers.
Plastic and aluminium foils, which can be reused, are
suitable for packing food, as are metal or glass containers.
Hot foods and drinks should always be allowed to cool
down out of the fridge.
Switching the fridge off
If the fridge has to be switched off for a long period, the
temperature dial should be set to
”0“ and
the fridge cleaned
as instructed above.
While the fridge is off, leave the doors open to prevent
odours from building up.
11 Troubleshooting guide
High quality manufacturing processes and the use of the
latest refrigerating and freezing technology will ensure the
trouble-free functioning of your appliance.
If you suspect any fault, before contacting your nearest
service department directly or via your dealer, make sure
you have followed all instructions and advice given in this
user manual.
Please note:
The compressor (also known as the refrigerating motor)
must not operate continuously.
It is controlled by a thermostat, which you set on the
temperature dial and switches on automatically when the set
temperature in the appliance is exceeded and switches off
automatically when it is reached again.
Noise can be heard in every compressor - refrigerating
system when it is switched on. These noises are produced
when the motor in the compressor is running and by the
refrigerant flowing through the refrigerating system circuit.
These noises are normal and do not indicate any fault in the
functioning of your appliance.
In unheated rooms
and in cold weather conditions,
condensation can build up on the outer walls of the
appliance.
This does not mean there is a fault and it will disappear
when the temperature increases.
Only call the service department
, if after analysis of the
possible fault factors, you cannot find any cause for the
defect or you are not able to eliminate the fault.
