Saving energy
Install the appliance in a dry, ventilated room. The
■
appliance should not be installed in direct sunlight or
in the vicinity of heat sources (e.g. radiator, cooker).
If required, use an insulating plate.
Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before
■
placing them in the appliance.
Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator compartment and
■
use the low temperature of the frozen food to cool
refrigerated food.
Open the appliance as briefly as possible.
■
To avoid increased power consumption, occasionally
■
clean the back of the appliance.
If available:
■
Fit wall spacers to obtain the indicated energy
absorption of the appliance (see Installation
instructions). A reduced wall gap will not restrict the
function of the appliance. The energy rating may then
increase slightly.
The arrangement of the fittings does not affect the
■
energy absorption of the appliance.
Rectifying minor faults yourself

Preventing noises

Please move the appliance away from adjacent units or
appliances.
Containers or storage areas wobble or stick
Check which parts are removable and, if necessary, re-
insert them correctly.

Move the bottles or receptacles slightly away from each
other.
Remedial action
In certain cases it may be enough to switch off
the appliance for 5 minutes.
If the temperature is too high, wait a few hours
and check whether the temperature has
approached the set value.
If the temperature is too low, check the tempera-
ture again the next day.
Check whether the light switch can move.
(See chapter "Light".)
As soon as the appliance is again used, e.g. the
door is opened, the display switches back to nor-
mal illumination.
Connect the mains plug. Check whether the
power is on, and check the fuses.
