Connecting The Appliance; Switching On The Appliance; Selecting The Temperature - Siemens KT 15LV20 Gebrauchsanleitung

Ventilation
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 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 temperature selector, Fig. 2/2,
from controller position 0".
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 ºC.
When the controller is at a medium
setting, the temperature drops to approx.
+4 ºC in the coldest zone, Fig. 4.
Higher settings result in lower
temperatures in the refrigerator and
freezer compartments.
We recommend:
S for short term storage of food:
low controller setting (energy saving
mode, e.g. 1 2)
S for long term storage of food:
medium controller setting (e.g. 2 3)
S select a higher controller setting
(e.g. 4 5) only temporarily if: the door is
opened fairly frequently, large quantities
of food are 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
