Temperature control
The unit is re-activated by connecting it to the mains. It is only
switched off completely when the plug is removed from the wall
socket.
The green mains indicator light shows that the unit is
connected to the mains.
The temperature in the refrigerator cabinet can be adjusted by
setting the temperature control. Turning the control clockwise
will decrease the temperature, while turning it anti-clockwise
will increase it.
The medium settings are usually most suitable for home use.
We recommend using a thermometer to check the actual
temperature inside the cabinet and make adjustments as
necessary.
Following a power interruption, or if the unit has been switched
off on purpose, it may take 3 to 5 minutes before it switches
on again.
In position '0', the cooling function is switched off, though
the appliance is still connected to the mains.
Interior lighting
The appliance is equipped with a long-life LED light. In the case
of a defect, please contact Customer Service for assistance.
Replacement may only be carried out by Customer Service.
Freezer compartment door
To ensure that frozen food will not de-frost prematurely, the
door to the freezer compartment should be kept closed at all
times. This will also prevent an undue build-up of ice and frost.
Ensure, therefore, that the door is only opened briefl y to place
food in the freezer compartment or to remove it.
Freezing and storing food
The temperatures inside the refrigerator cabinet and freezer
compartment depend mainly on the ambient temperature, the
temperature control setting and the amount of food stored.
Freezer compartment:
∙ The freezer compartment is designed for deep-freezing and
long-term storage of frozen food, and for making ice cubes.
∙ To ensure that nutritious elements such as vitamins are
not lost, fresh food should be deep-frozen right through as
quickly as possible. To that effect, the prepared food should
be placed into the freezer compartments, properly spaced in
one or two rows.
∙ Avoid contact with food that has already been frozen.
∙ Caution: Do not exceed the maximum freezing capacity
per day. The product data sheet contains details of the
maximum daily freezing capacity.
∙ Set the temperature control to Max. After 24 hours, once the
food is well frozen, the temperature control can be set back
to its original position.
∙ The time required to freeze food may be shortened by
dividing it into smaller portions.
∙ Suitable packaging materials for frozen food are transparent
(i.e. non-coloured) plastic wrap or bags, or aluminium foil.
The packaging materials should be well aired before use;
