Operation
Requirements for safe use
– You have read chapter „Safety“ from
page GB-5 and understand all the safety
notices.
– The appliance is set up and plugged in as de-
scribed in chapter „Start-up“ from page GB-17.
Switching the appliance on
and off
(1)
The temperature controller (1) is also used
to switch the appliance on and off. It is on
the right wall in the fridge compartment and
is continuously adjustable.
Switching on
1. Insert the mains plug into an easily acces-
sible socket (220–240 V~/50 Hz).
2. Set the temperature controller (1) to a set-
ting between “1” and “7”.
The appliance is then switched on. The
compressor starts to work, the refrigerant
flows through the pipes and a quiet hum-
ming sound can be heard. The interior
light will switch on as soon as the door is
opened and will switch off if the door is
closed.
3. If the appliance makes worrying noises
check that it is positioned on a solid base
and remove any objects that are on top of
the appliance.
Operation
Switching off
1. Set the temperature controller (1) to “0”.
The compressor is switched off. The ap-
pliance doesn’t refrigerate. The interior
light continues to function.
2. To switch the appliance off completely,
pull out the mains plug.
3. If the appliance is switched off, leave the
door open slightly to avoid mould forma-
tion.
Setting the temperature
WARNING
Health hazard!
The appliance may not operate proper-
ly if exposed to low ambient tempera-
tures for extended periods of time. This
could then cause a rise in temperature
inside the refrigerated area.
■
Always adhere to the prescribed
ambient temperature (see “climate
classes” in the data sheet at the end
of this user manual).
Using the temperature controller (1), you can
set the temperature in the fridge compart-
ment.
• First select a medium setting.
• If, for example in summer, the ambient
temperature increases, so select a lower
setting accordingly.
To increase the cooling output in the fridge
– compartment, turn the temperature control-
ler towards “7”.
– To decrease the refrigeration output in the
fridge and freezer compartments, turn the
temperature controller towards “0”.
To control the cooling output, ideally you need
a refrigerator thermometer.
Place it in the fridge compartment above the
vegetable drawer (4). The correct tempera-
ture in the fridge compartment is +6 °C.
