The air on the rear panel of the appliance
heats up. The warm air must be able to

work harder. This will increase the power
consumption.
Therefore: Never cover or block ventilation
openings!

50 Hz alternating current via a correctly
installed earthed socket. The socket must
be fused with a 1 0 A fuse or higher.
If the appliance is to be operated in

Operating tips
+4°C
-18°C
• The fully automatic Nofrost system
ensures that the freezer compartment
and the refrigerator compartment
remain free of ice. Defrosting is no
longer required.
• The sides of the housing are sometimes
heated slightly. This prevents
condensation in the area of the door
seal.
• The appliance doors have two different
opening angles.
When opening one door, the other door
may move slightly. This is quite normal
and
be Ignored.
• If you cannot open the freezer
compartment door immediately after
closing it, wait 2-3 minutes until the
partial vacuum has equalised.

Selecting the
temperature
Fridge
Rotate temperature selector Fig. fJ/5
to a setting.
A higher setting lowers the temperature
in the refrigerator compartment.
We recommend:
• for long-term storage of food:
medium controller setting
• select a higher controller setting
set a high controller setting only
temporarily if: door is opened frequently,
large amounts of food are placed in the
refrigerator compartment.
We recommend storing perishable foods
at a temperature not warmer than +4 °C.
A temperature of about +4 OC is reached
when the control is set to a centre
position.
