Starting up and temperature regulation
☞Insert the plug of the connection lead into the plug socket with pro- tective earth contact. When the refrigerator compartment door is ope- ned, the internal lighting is switched on.
The temperature selector knob is located on the RH side of the refriger- ator compartment.
Setting “0” means: Off.
Turning clockwise in direction “1”: Refrigerating unit on, the latter then operating automatically.
Setting “1” means:
Hightest temperature, warmest setting.
Setting “6”
At a low ambient temperature of around 16°C, setting “1” should be selected. At ambient temperatures of around 25°C, select setting “2”. If you require a lower temperature, select setting “3” or “4”.
Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold set- ting on the temperature regulator (position”5” to “6”) can cause the compressor to run continuously.
Reason: when the ambient temperature is high, the compressor must run continuously to maintain 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 set- ting (position “3” to “4”). At this setting the compressor will be switched on and off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced.
