Settings
Setting [ 0 ] means that the appliance is in the off
state. Turn the temperature control clockwise, start-
ing from this setting; the appliance will turn on auto-
matically.
The power levels [ 1–7 ] regulate the different values
of the internal temperature.
Setting 0: Off state
Power level 1 + 2 :
lowest level → warmest internal temperature
Power level 3 + 4 :
medium level → optimal operating temperature
Power level 5 + 6 + 7* :
highest level → coldest internal temperature
*Beware of high setting because the maximum level
may already means "freezing point".
The temperature of the freezer is automatically con-
trolled by the power level setting in the fridge.
Basically, the temperature changes depending on the
ambient temperature (place of installation), the fre-
quency of opening the door and the equipment.
During initial operation, turn the temperature control
to the highest setting first, until the appliance has
reached the desired operating temperature. After-
wards it is recommended to turn the control back to a
medium setting; correcting the temperature at a later
point would then be easier.
NOTE:
In generally a medium power level works best for an
optimized food storage. A high power level also in-
creases the energy consumption.
Interior light
When opening the fridge door, the interior light will
turn on automatically.
Storing food
NOTE: Recommendation!
To guarantee that the temperature is low enough,
you should pre-cool the appliance a few times before
initial loading foods.
CAUTION:
Always pay attention to the storage instructions on
the sales packaging.
To avoid contamination of food, respect the following
instructions:
Opening the door for long periods can cause a
significant increase of the temperature in the
compartments of the appliance.
Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact
with food and accessible drainage systems (see
"Cleaning and Maintenance"
Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in
the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or
drip onto other food.
One-
, two-
ments are not suitable for the freezing of fresh
food.
If the appliance is out of use for long period, fol-
low the instructions under
Storage space
Depending on requirements, shelves/drawers (par-
tially and depending on model) can be adjusted in
height or removed to optimize the storage space.
NOTE:
For the most efficient use of energy, place all
shelves/drawers in their original position.
