Before use GB
Position and clean the cabinet as explained in the
section "Installation".
Check that the drain hose at the rear of the cabinet
discharges into the drip tray.
Before inserting the power plug into the
outlet and switching on the cabinet for
the first time, leave it standing upright
for about 4 hours. Otherwise the
compressor may sustain damage. This
time will allow the oil sufficient time to
return to the compressor.
Using the fridge GB
To start the fridge and set the
correct temperature
Switching on:
Switch on the fridge by pressing the power switch.
Setting the temperature
Press the buttons until the desired temperature
flashes in the temperature display (The temperature
can be set between +3°C and +8°C.)
"+" raises the temperature.
"-" lowers the temperature.
Once set, the temperature display shows "-" until the
temperature inside the fridge reaches +9°C or below.
Allow the cabinet to run for a period of 24 hours
whenever the temperature setting is changed. This
will allow the temperature to stabilise inside the
cabinet.
It is not necessary to reset the temperature when the
cabinet is switched on after it has been out of use.
The thermostat recalls the previously set
temperature.
Temperature inside the fridge
A suitable temperature inside the fridge is approx.
+5°C.
The "Natura-fresh" zone
The temperature in the "Natura-fresh" zone is
constantly just above 0°C. Adjustment by the user is
not necessary.
The "Natura-fresh" zone contains two drawers
separated by a cover.
The lower drawer has a higher humidity of the air is
suited for keeping berries, fruits and vegetables.
The upper drawer is suited for meat, fish and
poultry.
