Starting up and temperature regulation

Important! Only use the appliance when built–in!

☞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” (end-stop) means: Lowest temperature, coldest setting.

Note: From a food safety point of view, +5°C for the refrigerator com- partment and -18°C for the freezer compartment should be con- sidered cold enough as a storage temperature.

The temperatures in the refrigerator compartment and freezer com- partment cannot be independently regulated.

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”. On this setting , you can be sure the fresh food placed in the freezer compart- ment will be reliably frozen and that a storage temperature of -18°C will be maintained in the freezer compartment.

If you want to freeze fresh food rapidly, select setting “6”, ensuring that the temperature in the refrigerator compartment does not drop below 0°C. You should also promptly reset the thermostat knob to set- ting “3” or “4” after the freezing of the fresh food is complete.

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.
