Starting Up and Regulating the
15
When the ambient temperature in the room where the appliance is
situated is lower than +16 °C, the
ambient switch
must be depressed.
The yellow light comes on. If the ambient switch is switched on, the
compressor operates for longer periods to ensure that the storage
temperature of - 18 °C inside the freezer compartment is maintained.
Important!
If the ambient temperature rises to above +16 °C, the ambient switch
must be switched off in order to avoid unnecessary energy consumtion.
The yellow light goes out.

Insert plug into mains socket.

Turn the temperature regulator to the desired setting with the aid of a
coin. The green mains power light illuminates. The compressor starts
and then runs automatically.
The following effects are of significance in respect of the interior
temperature:
– Ambient temperature;
– Quantity and temperature of the food stored;
– Frequency with which the door is opened and how long it is left
open.
The following temperature settings can therefore only be considered as
recommendations that may well need to be adapted to suit your
particular situation.
Recommended settings:
For normal use: position "1" to "2";
For lower temperatures: position "2" to "3".
Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold
setting on the temperature regulator (position "3" to "4") can cause the
compressor to run continuously in order to maintain the low
temperature.
The fridge will therefore not be able to defrost as automatic defrosting
of the fridge is only possible when the compressor is not running (see
"Defrosting" section). The result is the build up of a thick layer of frost
on the fridge rear wall.
If this happens, turn the temperature regulator back to a warmer
setting (position "2" to "3"). At this setting the compressor will be
switched on and off as usual and automatic defrosting will restart.

Wait until the temperature in the freezer compartment has reached
-18 °C before storing frozen foods.

Where food hygiene is concerned -18 °C should be considered suffi-
ciently cold for storing food in the freezer.
