13. Replace the screws (10) and screw covers (11) on the top panel (9).
Controls and interior lighting
The unit is re-activated by connecting it to the mains. It is only switched
off completely when the plug is removed from the wall socket.
The temperature in the refrigerator cabinet can be adjusted by setting
the temperature control. Turning the control clockwise will decrease the
temperature, while turning it anti-clockwise will increase it.
- After switching on, the temperature control should be set to position 8.
- After approx. 20 minutes, the setting should be changed to position 4, which is usually
sufficient for home or office use.
- Following a power interruption, or if the unit has been switched off on purpose, always
wait 3 to 5 minutes before switching on again. The unit cannot be re-activated without
this delay.
In position '0', the cooling function is switched off, though the appliance is still connected to
the mains.
Changing the light bulb:
- Remove the plug from the wall socket.
- Use a suitable screw-driver to remove the screw holding the light cover and take the
cover off.
- Take out the defective bulb and fit a new one (max. 10 W).
- Slide the cover back into position, replace the screw and tighten it. Wait several minutes
before switching the unit on again.
Storing food
- The temperature inside the refrigerator depends mainly on the ambient temperature, the
temperature control setting and the amount of food stored.
- Initially, the temperature control should be set to position 4. If the cooling effect is too
strong, lower it to position 1-3; if it is insufficient, raise it to 4-8.
If you notice frost on the rear wall, the most likely cause is that the door has been left
open for too long, or that warm food has been placed inside the refrigerator or that the
temperature control has been set too high.
Liquid or strong-smelling food, or food which is likely to absorb strong odours (e.g.
cheese, fish, butter), should be stored separately or in hermetically sealed containers.
- Warm food should be left to cool down to room temperature before being placed in the
refrigerator.
- Because of the way the air circulates, the different areas of the refrigerator cabinet are
affected differently.
The coldest area is around the rear wall and in the lower part of the cabinet, and is most
suitable for storing delicate food such as fish, cooked or fresh meats or cold-cuts.
The warmer area is around the door and in the higher part of the cabinet, and is suitable
for storing e.g. cheese and butter. In this way, the cheese will keep its flavour, and the
butter will remain spreadable.
- Always ensure that the door is properly closed and that the seal is not obstructed by food
stored inside the cabinet or door.
