Switching On The Appliance; Selecting The Temperature; Operating Tips - Gaggenau rt 200 Gebrauchsanleitung

Switching on the appliance

Rotate temperature selector b, from controller position
0". The appliance starts refrigerating. Interior light is
switched on when the door is open.

Selecting the temperature

We recommend storing perishable foods at a
temperature not warmer than +4 °C.
When the controller is at a medium setting, the
temperature drops to approx. +4 °C in the coldest zone.
Higher settings result in lower temperatures in the
refrigerator and freezer compartments.
We recommend:
for short term storage of food:
D
low controller setting (energy saving mode, e.g. 1 2)
for long term storage of food:
D
medium controller setting (e.g. 2 3)
select a higher setting (e.g. 4 5) only temporarily if:
D
door opened frequently, large amounts of food
placed in the refrigerator compartment.

Refrigerating capacity
The temperature in the refrigerator compartment may rise
temporarily if large amounts of food or a lot of drinks are
placed in the refrigerator compartment.
Therefore the temperature controller should be rotated to
a higher setting (e.g. setting 4) for approx. 7 hours

Operating tips

The refrigerator compartment temperature drops
temporarily:
if large amounts of fresh food are frozen in the freezer
D
compartment.
The refrigerator compartment temperature rises:
if the appliance door is opened frequently,
D
if large quantities of food are placed in the refrigerator
D
compartment,
if the ambient temperature is high.

Condensation droplets or frost in the refrigerator
compartment
While the refrigerating unit is running, beads of
condensation or hoarfrost form at the back of the
refrigerator compartment. This is quite normal.
It is not necessary to wipe off the condensation or frost.
The rear panel defrosts automatically. The condensation
runs into the drainage channel and then to the
refrigerating unit where it evaporates.
