Starting up and temperature regulation
Important! Only use the appliance when
☞1. Connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply.
When the refrigerator compartment door is opened, the internal light- ing is switched on.
The temperature control knob is located on the right hand side of the refrigerator compartment.
Setting “0” means: Off.
2.Turn the control knob clockwise past “1”. The refrigerating unit is now on
and operates automatically.
Setting “1” means:
Hightest temperature, warmest setting.
Setting “6”
Note: From a food safety point of view +5 °C should be considered sufficiently cold for storing food in the fridge.
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 thermostat (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 thermostat knob back to a warmer setting (position “3” to “4”). At this setting the compressor will be switched on and off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced.
