Ventilation
The air warmed behind the appliance needs
to circulate freely. For this reason, the circula-
tion of air cannot be compromised.
Caution! Do not cover possible existing
ventilation openings in the back area of the
top cover plate!
Connection
• Before you connect the appliance, you have
to make sure that itself and the power plug
do not show any transport damages.
• Connect the appliance only to a shockproof
outlet. The mains voltage has to correspond
to the one stated on the tool identification
plate.
• The appliance complies with the guidelines
that are obligatory for CE marking.
• Do not connect the appliance to an inverter
• The power plug should not touch the back-
side, in order to avoid possible vibration
noise.
• The appliance can be put into operation by
plugging the mains plug into the point.
• A complete switching-off only occurs by
pulling the mains plug.
• If the appliance has been disconnected
from the mains, wait approx. 5 minutes
after plugging in the mains plug before
setting the temperature controller to the
desired position.
Operating elements
The temperature adjust-
ment for the refrigerator
compartment is set via
the controller on the
lighting inside the refrig-
erator.
Place it in a central
position (3 - 4) to set
an optimal temperature for normal use. The
more you turn the knob clockwise (5 - 7), the
lower the temperature in the refrigerator will
be. The more you turn the knob counterclock-
wise (1 - 2), the higher the temperature in
the refrigerator will be. Make sure the desired
temperature has been reached both in the
refrigerator and in the freezer by using a ther-
mometer. The "O" position means the device
is switched off.
VeggiBox
The VeggiBox serves as the optimal storage
for fruits and vegetables.
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.
Storing of Food
• Store the food only packaged or covered
in the refrigerator, in order to sustain the
flavour and the freshness. Especially foods
with a strong smell or prone to absorbing
smell (cheese, fish, butter, among others)
have to be stored separately.
• At first, set an average cooling temperature.
If the cooling is too strong, set a higher
temperature and if the cooling is too weak,
set a lower temperature.
If frost is built upon the back wall, then
the cause of this could be that the door
was opened too long, warm dishes were in
the appliance or the temperature was set
too low.
• Warm foods have to be cooled down to
room temperature before they can be
stored in the appliance.
• Make sure that the door is closed correctly
and that it is not blocked by cooled food.
