Switching on the appliance

1. Plug in the appliance

2. When the appliance is plugged in, it is

normally factory set to a temperature of 5°C.

Adjusting the temperature

For temperature adjustment, see the enclosed

product sheet.

Note:

Ambient air temperature, the frequency of

door opening, the introduction of hot food and

unsuitable appliance positioning can all affect

the internal temperature of the refrigerator,

which may differ from that shown on the

display.

Storing food the refrigerator compartment:

• Coverfoodtopreventitdryingout

• Thedistancebetweentheshelvesandthe

rear wall inside the refrigerator ensures the

free circulation of air

• Donotplacefoodindirectcontactwiththe

rear wall of the refrigerator compartment

• Donotplacehotfoodintherefrigerator

• Storeliquidsinclosedcontainers

Important:

Storing vegetables with a high water

content can cause condensation to form

on the glass shelves; this will not affect the

correct operation of the appliance.

or switch off the power at the mains.

Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment

is completely automatic. Droplets of

water on the rear wall of the refrigerator

compartment indicate that the periodic

automatic defrost cycle is in progress.

The defrost water is automatically routed

to a drain outlet and into a container from

which it evaporates.

amount of ice which forms and the rate at

whichitaccumulateswillvarydependingon

ambient conditions and the frequency with

whichthefreezerdoorisopened.Iceformation

is concentrated at the top of the compartment

and does not affect the efficiency of the

appliance.

Ifpossible,defrostthefreezerwhenitisnearly

empty.
