Setting the operating temperature
The operating temperature is
regulated by the temperature
control.
Warm Cold

(Or) Min. Max.
1 = Lowest cooling setting
(Warmest setting)
5 = Highest cooling setting (Coldest
setting)
(Or)
Min. = Lowest cooling setting
(Warmest setting)
Max. = Highest cooling setting
(Coldest setting)
The average temperature inside the
fridge should be around +5°C.
Please choose the setting according
to the desired temperature.
Please note that there will be
different temperatures in the cooling
area.
The coldest region is immediately
above the vegetable compartment.
The interior temperature also
depends on ambient temperature,
the frequency with which the door is
opened and the amount of foods kept
inside.
Frequently opening the door causes
the interior temperature to rise.
For this reason, it is recommended
to close the door again as soon as
possible after use.
Using interior compartments
Movable shelves: Distance between
the shelves can be adjusted when
necessary.
Vegetable drawer: Vegetables
and fruits can be stored in this
compartment for long periods without
decaying.
Bottle shelf: Bottles, jars and tins
can be placed in these shelves.
Cooling
Food storage
The fridge compartment is for the
short-term storage of fresh food and
drinks.
Store milk products in the intended
compartment in the refrigerator.
Bottles can be stored in the bottle
holder or in the bottle shelf of the
door.
Raw meat is best kept in a
polyethylene bag in the compartment
at the very bottom of the refrigerator.
Allow hot foods and beverages to
cool to room temperature prior to
placing them in the refrigerator.
•Attention
Store concentrated alcohol only
standing upright and tightly closed.
•Attention
Do not store explosive substances or
containers with flammable propellant
gases (canned cream, spray cans
etc.) in the device. There is a danger
of explosion.

EN

Defrost
The fridge compartment defrosts
automatically. The thawing water
flows through the drain channel into
a collection container at the rear of
the device.
During defrosting, water droplets
form at the back of the fridge due to
the evaporator.
If not all of the drops run down, they
may freeze again after defrosting
remove them with a cloth soaked in
warm water, but never with a hard or
sharp object.
