• If the appliance has been disconnected
from the mains, wait approx. 5 min-
utes after plugging in the mains plug
before setting the temperature control-
ler to the desired position.
Operating elements
The temperature adjustment for the
refrigerator compartment is set via the
controller on the lighting inside the
refrigerator.
Place it in a central position to set an
optimal temperature for normal use. The
more you turn the knob clockwise, the
lower the temperature in the refrigera-
tor will be. The more you turn the knob
counterclockwise, the higher the temper-
ature in the refrigerator will be.
VeggiBox
The VeggiBox serves as the optimal stor-
age for fruits and vegetables.
Temperature in the freezer com-
partment
The temperature in the freezer compart-
ment is set to ≤ –18°C by default.
Interior Lighting
Do not take off the cover of the interior
lighting. The appliance is equipped with
high quality, durable LED-lighting. If the
light is inoperative, call our after-sales
service.
Freezer Door
The freezer door should always stay
closed so that the food does not defrost.
Thereby, the formation of ice and frost ac-
cretion is reduced. Therefore, make sure
that the door is only open for withdrawal
of food or rather for filling the freezer.
Freezing/Storing of Food
Freezer:
• The freezer is designed for the freezing
of food, for the long-term storage of
frozen food as well as for the appliance
ion of ice cubes.
• Fresh food should be frozen to the core
as quickly as possible, so that the nu-
tritional value, the vitamins, etc. do not
get lost. For this reason, put the food in
one or two rows in the freezer.
• Do not bring them into contact with
already frozen food.
• Do not exceed the freezing capacity per
day! The respective value for the max-
imum freezing capacity can be taken
from the appliance specification sheet
at the end of the manual.
• The freezing time shortens if the food
to be frozen is divided into small por-
tions.
• Store the frozen food in the appliance
only packaged. You can use uncoloured
plastic sheets/bags or aluminium foil
as packaging material. Remove the
air from the packaging before freezing
and check for airtightness. Provide
every packaging with a label with the
content, date of freezing and date of
expiry on it.
• Do not freeze carbonated liquids, warm
foods or liquids in a glass container or
bottle.
• Defrost frozen appliances in the refrig-
erator. Foods keep their taste when
they are defrosted slowly, and the emit-
ted cooling energy from these applianc-
es can be used to maintain the intend-
ed temperature in the refrigerator.
• If the appliance is turned off for a
longer period of time, e.g., because of
a mains failure, leave the door closed.
Thereby, a more significant loss of
cooling energy can be avoided. The
