Starting up and temperature regulation

Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to star-
ting the appliance. Plug in the appliance at the mains supply.

• Turn the ON/OFF knob (1). The green lamp (5) comes on.

• Turn the temperature regulator (1) in the direction of „1“.

• The red lamp (4) comes on, the audible warning sounds , and the

refrigeration motor starts up.

• Operate the fast-freeze knob (2). The yellow pilot lamp (3) comes on

and the audible warning stops.

• Only when the red lamp (4) has gone out should you reset the fast-

freeze knob (2) the yellow light (3) goes out.

Setting “0”: Off.

Setting “1”: Hightest temperature, (warmest setting).

Setting “4” (end-stop) : Lowest temperature, (coldest setting). 

The exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the tempe-
rature inside the appliance depends on:

- the quantity of food stored

- how often the door is opened

- ambient temperature

Important: 

Regularly check on the red temperature pilot lamp (4) that the requi-
red storage temperature is being maintained.

The red temperature pilot-lamp (4) comes on when:

– the appliance has been started up but the storage temperature has

not yet been attained;

– the minimum storage temperature is no longer being maintained

(fault);

– excessive amounts of fresh food are placed inside; or

– if the appliance door is open for too long.

Important note: if you operate the fast-freeze switch or adjust the
temperature regulator, it may happen that your appliance’s refrigera-
tion motor does not start immediately but only after some time. This
does not mean that your appliance has a fault.
