If the room temperature is too cold for your appliance, the
refrigerating unit operates less. As a result, the freezer
compartment may become too warm. The frozen food
may thaw in extreme cases.
Appliances which feature a room temperature switch can
be operated at a room temperature of +16 °C to 10 °C
when the switch has been switched on. As a result, the
refrigerating unit operates more frequently.
To switch on, press the switch, a, mark 0" is no longer
visible. The light inside the appliance is lit at a reduced
luminosity.
To save energy, switch off the room temperature switch
as soon as the room temperature exceeds+16 °C again.
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!

Installing the appliance

Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room. The
installation location should neither be exposed to direct

minimum distances to a heat source:
3 cm to electric or gas cookers.
30 cm to an oil or solid fuel cooker.

the interior of the appliance (see Cleaning the appliance).
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.
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
