¡

Once you have switched on the
appliance, the set temperature is
only reached after several hours.
Do not put any food in the appli-
ance until the set temperature has
been reached.

¡

The housing around the freezer
compartment is temporarily heated
slightly. This prevents condensa-
tion in the area of the door seal.

¡

When you close the door, a va-
cuum may be created. The door is
then difficult to open again. Wait a
moment until the vacuum is offset.
