Switching the Appliance off
To switch off, hold down the ON/OFF button for approx. 5 seconds. This will result in a countdown from "3" to "1" taking place in the temperature display. On reaching "1" the fridge will switch off. The temperature display will go off.
Note:
The appliance cannot be switched on or off if unplugged, or if there is no power being supplied to it. Following connection to the mains power sup- ply, the appliance returns to the same operating state as before the inter- ruption of main power.
If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period:
1.Switch off the appliance, holding down the ON/OFF button until the display goes off (see above).
2.Remove the mains plug or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.
3.Defrost the freezer compartment and clean the appliance thoroughly (see section: “Cleaning and Maintenance”).
4.Finally, leave the doors open to avoid a build up of odours.
