4Using your refrigerator
Setting the operating
temperature
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
Freezer compartment : Food that should
be frozen and stored is placed in this
compartment.
Body shelves: Distance between
the shelves can be adjusted when
necessary.
Crisper: 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.
The operating temperature is regulated
by the temperature control.
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.
You can stop operation of your device
by adjusting the thermostat knob to
“0” position.

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.

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.
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.
Check the flow of the thawed water from
time to time.It may become plugged
occasionally.
