NOTE
Before starting your new refrigerator for the first time, you should clean
it inside and outside with a damp cloth for hygienic reasons (please also
refer to the chapter "Cleaning and maintenance" on page 26).
8.1

Energy saving tips

• Choose a well ventilated location which is protected from direct sunlight.
• Allow warm food to cool down first before placing it in the device to keep cool.
• Do not open the refrigerator more often than necessary.
• Do not leave the doors open for longer than necessary.
• Defrost your refrigerator as soon as a layer of ice forms.
• Avoid unnecessarily low temperature settings.
• Clean dust and dirt from the condenser at regular intervals.
8.2 Using the refrigerator
The fridge conserves fresh foodstuffs. You can also conserve frozen foodstuffs in the
freezer compartment.
!
CAUTION! Health hazard!
• Never put any items back in the freezer compartment which have
started defrosting or have been defrosted; consume them as soon as
possible.
• Make sure that you only put items in the refrigerator which may be
kept at the selected temperature.
A
NOTICE!
• Ensure that food or liquids in glass containers are not excessively
refrigerated.
Liquids expand when they freeze and can therefore destroy glass
containers.
➤ Switch the refrigerator on by turning the temperature control (fig. 1 8 page 3)
away from the "0" position.
✓ After switching on, the refrigerator requires approx. 180 seconds until the
compressor starts up.
