Attaching the door handle
∙ Open the glass door.
∙ Carefully slide the door seal aside in the two places on
the inside of the door where the door handle is to be
screwed.
∙ Attach the supplied handle from the outside.
∙ Tighten the screws firmly by hand to secure the handle.
Do not tighten the screws too tightly to avoid damaging
the glass and handle.
Installation
∙ The appliance should be set up in a well-ventilated, dry
room.
∙ Do not use the appliance outdoors.
∙ Ensure that the plug is accessible and can be removed from
the wall socket at any time.
∙ Do not expose the appliance to direct sunlight, and do not
position it next to any heat sources (radiators, cookers
etc). If this cannot be avoided, however, suitable insulation
must be in installed between the heat source and the unit.
∙ The unit must not be installed inside a cabinet, nor directly
below a hanging cupboard, shelf or similar object.
∙ If the unit is installed next to a wall, a minimum lateral
distance of 10 mm is necessary for the door to fully open.
∙ If the floor is uneven, the adjustable feet on the unit can be
used to compensate and ensure optimum stability.

Temperature control
∙ The unit is 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 (0-7).
Turning the control clockwise will decrease the
temperature, while turning it anti-clockwise will increase
it.
∙ The temperature can be set within a 10 to 0°C range.
∙ The temperature in the cabinet largely depends on
factors such as the ambient temperature, the setting and
the number of bottles stored.
∙ We recommend using a thermometer to check the actual
temperature inside the cabinet and make adjustments
as necessary.
∙ Always ensure that the door is properly closed and that
the seal is not obstructed by bottles stored inside the
cabinet.
∙ It may take 3 to 5 minutes for the appliance to turn back
on after a power failure or when the appliance has been
disconnected from the mains.
∙ Note: With the temperature control in position '0',
only the compressor is switched off, while the fan is
still running.
Interior lighting
∙ The interior light can be switched on by means of the
separate On/Off switch.
∙ Caution: Do not remove the cover of the interior LED
light. If there should be any malfunction, please contact
the customer service for assistance.
Defrosting and cleaning
Defrosting
During operation, you may notice a build-up of frost around
the integral evaporator sealed into the rear of the inside
cabinet. This layer of frost will start melting when the
compressor is not working. Through a system of hoses,
the melt-water drains into the collection tray below the
compressor, where it will be absorbed into the surrounding
air.
∙ To enable the melt-water to drain freely, always ensure
that the channel and discharge opening in the cabinet
are free of any blockage.
∙ Any water collecting in the bottom should be removed.
∙ Typically, the appliance requires no defrosting and should
F
only be cleaned.
100
∙ If thick frost forms, however, defrost the appliance when
mm
the frost layer reaches a thickness of 2 mm.
∙ Always unplug the appliance before cleaning or
defrosting.
∙ Set the temperature control knob to "0" and leave the
door open. Defrosting of the appliance causes the
thawing water to collect at its bottom.
∙ Warning! Do not use any other mechanical devices or
other means, e.g. heaters, to speed up the defrosting.
