Observe ambient temperature

The appliance is designed for a specific climatic class.
Irrespective of the climatic class, the appliance can be
operated at the following room temperatures.
The climatic class can be found on the rating plate at the
bottom left hand side in the appliance.

Ventilation
The air on the rear panel of the appliance heats up.
The warm air must be able to escape. Otherwise,
the refrigerator must work harder. This will increase
the power consumption.
Therefore: Never cover or block ventilation openings!

Connecting the appliance

After installing the appliance, wait at least ½ hour until the
appliance starts up. During transportation the oil in the
compressor may have flowed into the refrigeration
system.
Before switching on the appliance for the first time,
clean the interior (see Cleaning).
The socket should be freely accessible.
Connect the appliance to 220 240 V/50 Hz alternating
current via a correctly installed earthed socket.
The socket must be fused with a 10 to 16 A fuse.
If the appliance is to be operated in a non European
country, check on the rating plate whether the indicated
voltage and current type correspond to the values of your
mains supply. The rating plate is situated in the bottom
left hand side of the appliance. The power cord may be
replaced by an electrician only.
Room temperature
+10 °C to 32 °C
+16 °C to 32 °C
+16 °C to 38 °C
+16 °C to 43 °C

Switching on the appliance

Press the main switch 2: the green and red indicator
lamps light up. You will hear a warning signal
(some models only).
Switching off the warning signal
(not all models).
Press the alarm button 4.
So that the signal can continue to warn of a malfunction,
press the alarm button again after the red control lamp
goes out.
Selecting the temperature
Set the temperature selector 1 to a number. The higher
the number, the lower the temperature. We recommend
a medium setting (of e g. 3-4).
Note
If you cannot open the freezer compartment door
D
immediately after closing it, wait 2 3 minutes until the
partial vacuum has equalised.
The refrigeration system may cause several areas
D
of the freezer shelves to frost quickly. This does not
affect function or power consumption. The appliance
does not require defrosting until the entire surface
of the freezer shelf is covered with more than 5 mm
of frost or ice.
The sides of the housing are sometimes heated
D
slightly. This prevents condensation in the area
of the door seal.
