Ventilation
Fig. 6
The air at the back of the appliance will
heat up. This warm air must be allowed to
freely escape, otherwise the refrigerating
machine must perform more. This raises
electricity consumption. Hence, the
air inlet and outlet apertures should never
be covered or blocked off!
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 A to 16 A fuse or
higher.
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.
Switching on the
appliance
Rotate the temperature selector Fig. 2/1
from position 0". The appliance starts
refrigerating. The indicator light Fig. 2/2
comes on.

Selecting the temperature

Rotate temperature selector Fig. 2/1
to a setting. Higher settings denote lower
temperatures in the freezer
compartments.
We recommend a medium setting.

Operating tips

S The sides of the housing are sometimes
heated slightly. This prevents
condensation in the area of the door
seal.
S If you cannot open the freezer
compartment door immediately after
closing it, wait 2 3 minutes until
the partial vacuum has equalised.
S The refrigeration system may cause
several areas 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.
