closed and in its proper position.
11. Replace the cover (5) in the corresponding holes on the right.
12. Replace the hinge cover (1) on the upper hinge.
Controls
The unit is activated by connecting it to the mains. It is only switched off completely when
the plug is removed from the wall socket.
The temperature in the refrigerator cabinet can be adjusted by using the temperature
control. After switching on, the temperature control should be set to position 7. After
approx. 20 minutes, the setting should be changed to position 4, which is usually sufficient
for home or office use.
In position 0, the cooling function is switched off, though the appliance is still connected to
the mains.
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 briefly 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 the short-term storage of frozen food and for
making ice cubes.
- In the event that the unit remains switched off for an extended period (during de-
frosting, power failure or short-term malfunctions up to 14 hours), do not open the door;
this will help to maintain the lowest possible temperature in the cabinet. It should be
noted, however, that even a slight rise in the inside temperature will shorten the storage
life of the food.
Refrigerator cabinet
- The temperature inside the refrigerator cabinet depends mainly on the ambient
temperature, the temperature control setting and the amount of food stored.
- Initially, the temperature control should be set to position 4. If the cooling effect is too
strong, lower it to position 1-3; if it is insufficient, raise it to 4-7.
If you notice frost on the rear wall, the most likely cause is that the door has been
opened for too long, or that warm food was placed inside the refrigerator or that the
temperature control had been set too high.
- Liquid or strong-smelling food, or food which is likely to absorb strong odours (e.g.
cheese, fish, butter), should be stored separately or in hermetically sealed containers.
- Warm food should be left to cool down to room temperature before being placed in the
refrigerator.
- Because of the way the air circulates, the different areas of the refrigerator cabinet are
affected differently.
The coldest area is around the rear wall and in the lower part of the cabinet, and is most
