Switching on and off Before using for the first time The appliance will start to cool, and the interior lighting will come on when the door is opened. The higher the setting, the lower the temperature in the appliance. Switching off ^ Remove the transit fitting from the appliance, and dispose of it. ^ Place the stopper supplied in the empty hole. ^ Clean the inside of the appliance and the accessories with lukewarm water and a little washing-up liquid, and then dry with a soft cloth.
The correct temperature It is very important to set the correct temperature for storing food in the appliance. Micro-organisms will cause food which is not stored at the correct temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influences the growth rate of these micro-organisms. Reducing the temperature reduces their growth rate.
The correct temperature Setting the temperature The temperature is set using the temperature dial. ^ Turn it to a setting between 1 and 5. The higher the setting, the lower the temperature in the appliance. A middle range setting is usually sufficient. Winter setting (for ambient temperatures lower than 16°C) If the ambient temperature in the room drops below 16°C, the compressor will start up less frequently.
Using the refrigerator efficiently Different storage zones Due to the natural circulation of the air in the appliance, there are different temperature zones in the refrigerator. Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest section of the appliance. Make use of the different zones when placing food in the appliance. Warmest area The warmest area is in the top section of the door. Use this for storing butter and cheese. Coldest area The coldest area in a refrigerator is directly above the vegetable containers.
Using the refrigerator efficiently Storing food correctly Unpacked meats and vegetables Store food covered or packaged. This will prevent food smells or tastes from affecting other foods, and prevent food from drying out and also any cross-contamination of bacteria. The growth of bacteria, such as salmonella, can be avoided by setting the correct temperature and maintaining good standards of hygiene. Different types of unpacked meats and vegetables must be kept separate.
Adjusting the interior fittings Moving the shelves The shelves can be adjusted according to the height of the food. ^ Pull the shelf forwards and then tilt it downwards to remove it. ^ With the rear barrier facing upwards, place the shelf at the required position. The rear barrier must face upwards to prevent food from touching the back of the appliance and freezing to it. Split shelf In order to accommodate tall items in the appliance, one of the shelves is divided.

Freezing and storing food Cooling drinks When cooling drinks quickly, make sure bottles are not left in the freezer compartment for more than one hour, as they could burst.
Defrosting the appliance Refrigerator section Freezer compartment The refrigerator defrosts automatically. The freezer compartment does not defrost automatically. Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the refrigerator section whilst it is in use. You do not need to remove this, as it will defrost and evaporate automatically with the warmth generated by the appliance. The condensate is drained away via a channel and drain hole into an evaporation system at the back of the appliance.
Defrosting the appliance To defrost Carry out the defrosting procedure as quickly as possible if food has not been placed in another freezer. The longer the food is left out at room temperature, the faster it defrosts. Do not use defrosting sprays, or de-icers as they could contain substances which could damage the plastic parts and which may cause a build up of gases and pose a danger to health. After defrosting ^ Switch the appliance off. ^ Disconnect it from the mains.
Cleaning and care Never use cleaning agents containing abrasive substances such as sand, soda, acids, chlorides or chemical solvents. "Non-abrasive" cleaning agents are also unsuitable as they can cause matt areas to appear. Make sure that water cannot get into the temperature selector or into the light.
