To reinsert the glass shelf, slide it at a slight angle from the front into the front into the recesses in the refrigerator compartment wall.
To reinsert a vegetable drawer, slide the vegetable drawer into the appliance at a slight angle.

7. Operating the appliance

Connect the appliance to an earthed mains socket. The local mains voltage must correspond to the technical specifications for the appliance.

The temperature control (9) setting automatically adjusts the temperature in the refrigerator compartment (7).

The refrigeration temperature can be set as follows:

- The appliance is switched off

1 to 2 The maximum refrigerator temperature (the warmest) Use in cold ambient temperatures
3 to 4 Intermediate position Use at normal ambient temperatures
5 The lowest refrigerator compartment temperature (cold-est) Use in warm ambient temperatures

Fluctuating ambient temperatures can cause the energy consumption and temperature inside the refrigerator to rise.

Before loading fresh food, set the temperature control (9) to position 5 position. After 2–3 hours, set to the middle position. Check the temperature in the refrigerator compartment with a thermometer. The ideal temperature is 6 °C on the lower shelf in the refrigerator compartment. Once this temperature is reached, you can load it with food.

i

The internal temperatures can be influenced by factors such as the installation location, ambient temperature and the number of times the door is opened. Take these factors into account when setting the temperature control.

i

The maximum level of cooling on the temperature control (9) should only be set for short periods in the event of high external temperatures or when filling the refrigerator with food that must be cooled quickly. Once the required interior temperature has been reached, the thermostat should be turned down, otherwise temperatures inside the appliance fall below 0°C and can damage the chilled goods.

Place food or drinks, which are at max. room temperature, into the refrigerator. Do not place hot food or drinks into the cooling chamber.

7.1. Switching off the appliance

To de-energise the appliance, set the temperature control (9) to 0 and unplug the mains plug from the socket.
▶ Wait approx. 10 minutes before switching on the appliance again.

8. Optimising energy consumption

In order to achieve the best possible cooling performance with low energy consumption, observe the following:

▶ Do not position the appliance near a heat source (radiator or cooker etc.).
The location should be not too warm, dry, dust-free and well ventilated.
▶ Ensure that air can circulate freely around the refrigerating appliance.
The energy consumption will be lowest if the shelf (5/8) and fruit/vegetable drawer (4) are left inside the appliance when it is in use.
If the door is left open for a long time, this can cause the temperature inside the appliance zones to increase significantly. Only open the door briefly when loading and removing foodstuffs. Less cold can escape if the door is left open for only a short time and therefore the appliance requires less energy.
▶ Select the temperature setting according to how full the appliance is.
▶ Ensure that the door seals are undamaged and that the door closes properly.
If the appliance is left empty for an extended period of time, switch it off. Defrost and clean the appliance and allow it to dry. Leave the door open to prevent mould from forming in the appliance.
If a layer of ice has formed in the freezer compartment, defrost the appliance. A thick coating of ice will adversely affect the energy consumption.

9. Storing food in the refrigerator

NOTICE!

Possible material damage!

Possible risk of damage to the door seal

■ Sensitive surfaces: Do not allow oil and grease to come into contact with the plastic parts and the door seal as the surface can become porous and brittle.

23.1. Information regarding refrigerant R600a

R600a and cyclopentane are used as 100% HCFC-free refrigerant and insulating materials in this appliance. This helps to protect the ozone layer and reduces the so-called greenhouse effect.

These appliances can be identified by the "Refrigerant R600a" notice on the type plate.

▶ Ensure that the refrigerant circuit is not damaged, as small quantities of R600a can contribute to the greenhouse effect if released.
This applies both when transporting the appliance and throughout its service life. Also ensure that you dispose of this appliance correctly according to local regulations.
