Temperature control
The unit is re-activated by connecting it to the mains. It is only
switched off completely when the plug is removed from the wall
socket.
The temperature in the refrigerator cabinet can be adjusted by
setting the temperature control. Turning the control clockwise
will decrease the temperature, while turning it anti-clockwise
will increase it.
The medium settings are usually most suitable for home use.
We recommend using a thermometer to check the actual
temperature inside the cabinet and make adjustments as
necessary.
Following a power interruption, or if the unit has been switched
off on purpose, it may take 3 to 5 minutes before it switches
on again.
In position '0', the cooling function is switched off, though
the appliance is still connected to the mains.
Interior lighting
Caution: do not remove the cover of the interior LED light. If
there should be any malfunction, please contact the customer
service for assistance.
