Prior to first use Prior to first usePrior to first use Prior to first use

After transport, the appliance should be left standing upright for about 4 hours before connecting to the power supply. Nonobservance could lead to malfunc- tion of the cooling system and causes an appliance breakdown. Clean the appliance interior including all accessory parts. Consider the instructions which we provide in the chapter “Cleaning and Maintenance”. Starting the appliance Starting the applianceStarting the appliance Starting the appliance

• Connect the appliance to the power supply.

• Operate the temperature control. See also the following section "Settings". Settings SettingsSettings Settings

Setting [0] means that the appliance is in the off state. Turn the temperature control clockwise, start- ing from this setting; the appliance will turn on auto- matically. The power levels [1–7] regulates the different values of the internal temperature.

Off state Lowest setting (warmest inside temperature) Highest setting (coldest inside temperature) Note that the temperature will change depending on the ambient temperature, frequency of door opening and the amount of food in the appliance. During initial operation, turn the temperature control to the highest setting first, until the appliance has reached the desired operating temperature. After- wards it is recommended to turn the control back to a medium setting; correcting the temperature at a later point would then be easier.20 Interior light Interior lightInterior light Interior light

When opening the appliance door, the interior light will turn on automatically. Storing food Storing foodStoring food Storing food

NOTE: NOTE:NOTE: NOTE: Recommendation! Recommendation!Recommendation! Recommendation! To guarantee that the temperature is low enough, you should pre-cool the appliance a few times before initial loading foods.

CAUTION: CAUTION:CAUTION: CAUTION:

Always pay attention to the storage instructions on the sales packaging. Always store food covered or packed in order to pre- vent drying-out and transfer of odor or taste onto other food items. You may pack the food with e.g.

• Polyethylene plastic bags or foil

• Plastic bowl with lid

• Special plastic covers with elastic strip

• Store fresh packed items on the glass shelves, fresh fruits and vegetables in the vegetable box.

• Place bottles in the door storage rack.

• By the air circulation different climate zones aris- es. - The coldest zone is located at the rear and the lower fridge part. Recommended for the stor- age of foods such as fish, sausages and meat. - The warmest zone is located at the door and the upper fridge part. Suitable for the storage of e.g. cheese and butter.

• Let warm food cool down first. Operating noise Operating noiseOperating noise Operating noise

• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply if the appliance is not in use.

• Do not install the appliance near stoves, heaters or other heat sources. In case of higher ambient temperatures, the compressor will run more fre- quently and longer.

• Ensure sufficient ventilation at the bottom and rear side. Never block ventilation openings.

• Allow warm dishes to cool down before putting into the appliance.

• Do not adjust the temperature colder than neces- sary.

• Do not open the door longer than necessary.

• The appliance should be defrosted regularly.

• The seal of the appliance door must be complete- ly intact, so that the door closes properly.21 Cleaning CleaningCleaning Cleaning and Maintenance and Maintenanceand Maintenance and Maintenance

• Clean the appliance interior, the exterior surfaces, the accessories and the door seal regularly with warm water and mild detergent.

• Remove for that the appliance content and stor- age at a cool location.

• Clean the thaw water discharge channel / opening carefully e.g. with a pipe cleaner.

• After everything was thoroughly dried, you can restart the operation. Defrosting DefrostingDefrosting Defrosting

The appliance has an automatic defrosting system. During defrosting water drops drains off at the back of the cooling chamber. The thaw water running through a channel, is collected in a drip tray located on the compressor, where it will evaporate. Make sure the water discharge opening does not get clogged. A light formation of ice on the interior back during operation is normal. Reverse the bulb Reverse the bulbReverse the bulb Reverse the bulb
