setting the temperature controller, avoid per-

Tips for Energy Saving
• For the installation of the appliance, choose
a cool, dry and well-aired room.
• Protect the appliance from direct insolation.
It should not be installed near heat sources
(stove, heater etc.). If this cannot be avoid-
ed, some sort of isolation between heat
source and appliance has to be used.
• Don't cover the ventilation openings and
grid. Provide enough circulation of air on
the backside of the appliance.
• Let warm food cool down before you store
it in the fridge.
• Do not leave the door open too long when
withdrawing or putting food inside. Other-
wise, the formation of ice in the interior will
be accelerated.
• Do not set the temperature lower than
necessary. More details on temperature
settings can be taken from the chapter
'Controls and Display'.
Operation Noises
There might be some typical operation noises
when the appliance is turned on. These are:
• Noise of the electric
motor is arising from
the working compressor.
When the compressor
starts to operate, then
the noises get slightly
louder for a short time.
• Noises in the tubes of the circulation of the
refrigerant.
Change the Door Stop
• If necessary, the door can be changed from
right- to left-hinged.
• Warning! Before you work on the appli-
ance, always pull the mains plug out of
the point.
• In order to avoid damages to persons and
property, execute the change of the door
stop with two persons.
• We recommend leaving the change of the
door stop to experts.
• Before you start with the modifications,
here is some general info:
ū Always pay attention to the number of
shims on the bearing pins and screws.
ū Position the doors always so that they
close tightly.
1. Remove the plastic cover from on top of
the device.
2. Remove the cover on the door hinge at
the top of the device.
3. Loosen the screws supporting the upper
part of the door hinge. Lift the refrigerator
door about 50 mm to finally remove it
from the unit.
