Starting up and temperature regulation Important! Only use the appliance when built–in! 1. Connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply. When the refrigerator compartment door is opened, the internal lighting is switched on. The temperature control knob is located on the right hand side of the refrigerator compartment. Setting “0” means: Off. 2. Turn the control knob clockwise past “1”. The refrigerating unit is now on and operates automatically.
If this happens, turn the thermostat knob back to a warmer setting (position “3” to “4”). At this setting the compressor will be switched on and off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced. Switching off the appliance ☞ To switch off the appliance, turn the temperature regulator to position "0". If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period: 1. Remove all refrigerated and frozen packages. 2. Switch off the appliance by turning the thermostat knob to position "0". 3.
Interior Accessories ☞ Your appliance is equipped with two half size glass storage shelves. Storing tall items: Slide the front half of the Vario storage shelf in another level to the rear. By this means you will gain space to place tall items on the storage shelf below. Variable Storage Box Some models are equipped with a variable storage box which is fitted under a door shelf compartment and can be slid sideways. The variable box can be hung from a storage shelf in the refrigerator compartment: 1.
Correct storage For physical reasons, there are different temperature regions in the fridge. The coldest region is on the lowest storage shelf. Warmer regions are the top storage shelf, the vegetable drawer and the storage compartments on the door. The arrangement example shows at which places in the refrigerator are suitable temperatures for various types of foods exist. Tip: Food in the fridge should always be covered or packaged, to prevent drying and tainting of other food.
☞1. All foods must be packed into airtight packages or containers prior to freezing, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods occurs. Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could stick to the food causing skin abrasions. 2. Lay the packaged food on the base of the freezer compartment. Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the frozen food could begin to defrost.
Defrosting The fridge defrosts automatically The rear wall of the fridge covers with frost when the compressor is running, and defrosts when the compressor is off. The water from the thawing frost evaporates by itself. Defrosting the freezer compartment During use and when the freezer compartment door is opened, moisture is deposited in the freezer compartment as frost. Remove this frost from time to time with the soft plastic scraper. Under no circumstances use hard or pointed objects to remove frost.
Cleaning and Care For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly. Warning! • The appliance must not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Danger of electrical shock. Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or disconnect from the electricity supply. • Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in electrical components and there is a danger of an electrical shock.
An accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause excessive electricity consumption. The structure of the appliance permits you to clean the rear zone close to the wall, using a vacuum cleaner. 1. Remove the plinth (1), then the ventilation grid (2); 2. Carefully pull the air deflector out (3), checking that there is no water left from the defrosting. ☞ 3 2 1 S.I.013 Energy Saving Tips • Do not install the appliance near boilers, radiators or other sources of heat.
