Temperature control
The unit is 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.
- After switching on, the temperature control should be set to position 5. After 20 minutes,
the setting should be changed to position 3, which is usually sufficient for home or office
use.
Storing food
- The temperatures inside the refrigerator cabinet and cold storage compartment depend
mainly on the ambient temperature, the temperature control setting and the amount of
food stored.
Cold storage compartment:
- The cold storage compartment is designed for short-term storage of fresh meat, fish and
poultry.
Main cabinet
- Initially, the temperature control should be set to position 3. If the cooling effect is too
strong, lower it to position 1-3; if it is insufficient, raise it to 3-5.
If you notice frost on the rear wall, the most likely cause is that the door has been left
open for too long, or that warm food has been placed inside the refrigerator or that the
temperature control has been set too high.
Liquid or strong-smelling food, or food which is likely to absorb strong odours (e.g.
cheese, fish, butter), should be stored separately or in hermetically sealed containers.
- Warm food should be left to cool down to room temperature before being placed in the
refrigerator.
- Always ensure that the door is properly closed and that the seal is not obstructed by food
stored inside the cabinet or door.
Cleaning
- Always remove the plug from the wall socket and turn the temperature control down to
'0' before cleaning.
- Do not pour water over or inside the unit.
- For frequent cleaning we recommend the use of warm water with some mild detergent.
To prevent any unpleasant odour within the refrigerator, it should be cleaned about once
a month.
- Any accessories should be cleaned separately with soapy water. Do not put them in a
dishwasher.
- Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions or any cleaning agents that contain
alcohol.
- After cleaning, thoroughly clean all surfaces with fresh water before wiping them
completely dry. When re-inserting the plug into the wall socket ensure that you have dry
hands.
- Take care not to remove or damage the rating plate inside the cabinet during cleaning.
