Protective foil
The stainless steel trim in the interior has a layer of protective foil to prevent damage during transportation.

Switching on
^Press the On/Off button.
The appliance will start to cool and the temperature required will appear in the temperature display. The interior lighting will come on when the door is opened.
Switching off
^Press the On/Off button until the display goes out.
The cooling system is switched off.
Switching off for longer periods of time
If the appliance is not going to be used for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst on holiday:
^switch the appliance off,
^disconnect it from the mains,
^clean the appliance out and
^leave the door ajar to air it.
If, during a long absence, the appliance is switched off but not cleaned out and the door is left shut, there is a danger of mould and odours building up inside the appliance.
