Prior to Initial Start–Up
0 Please clean the appliance interior and all
accessories prior to initial start-up (see
section: “Maintenance and Cleaning”).
Initial Use
Important! Only use the appliance when cor-
rectly installed!
0 Plug the mains plug into the mains socket.
When the door is opened the interior
lighting comes on.
1 Light switch
2 Temperature regulator
and ON/OFF switch
The temperature regulator is also the ON/OFF
switch.
The large oval switch beside the temperature
regulator is the light switch. When the door is
opened and closed, the light switch switches the
interior lighting on and off.
A coin in needed to turn the temperature regula-
tor. This makes it is more difficult to change the
temperature setting accidentally (child protec-
tion).
The temperature regulator setting
shown means: Refrigeration off.
Turn in the direction of "min":
Refrigeration on, the compressor starts
and then runs automatically.
Position "min" means:
Highest interior temperature (warmest
setting)
Position "MAX" means:
Lowest interior temperature (coldest
setting)
The following effects are of significance in
respect of the interior temperature:
– Ambient temperature;
– Quantity and temperature of the food
stored;
– Frequency with which the door is opened
and how long it is left open.
The following temperature settings can therefore
only be considered as recommendations that
may well need to be adapted to suit your particu-
lar situation.
Recommended settings:
For normal use: position "min" to higher setting;
For lower temperatures: mid position.
0 Turn the temperature regulator to the desi-
red setting with the aid of a coin.
The compressor starts and then runs automati-
cally.
Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer
days) and a cold setting on the temperature
regulator (position "MAX") can cause the com-
pressor to run continuously.
Reason: when the ambient temperature is high,
the compressor must run continuously to main-
tain the low temperature in the appliance. The
fridge will not be able to defrost since automatic
defrosting of the fridge is only possible when the
compressor is not running (see also "Defrosting"
section). The result is the build up of a thick layer
of frost on the fridge rear wall.
If this happens, turn the temperature regulator
back to a warmer setting. At this setting the com-
pressor will be switched on and off as usual and
automatic defrosting will recommence.
