Controls and interior lighting
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. Turning the control clockwise will decrease the
temperature, while turning it anti-clockwise will increase it.
- After switching on, the temperature control should be set to position 8.
- After approx. 20 minutes, the setting should be changed to position 4, which is usually
sufficient for home or office use.
- Following a power interruption, or if the unit has been switched off on purpose, always
wait 3 to 5 minutes before switching on again. The unit cannot be re-activated without
this delay.
In position '0', the cooling function is switched off, though the appliance is still connected to
the mains.
Changing the light bulb in the main cabinet.
- Remove the plug from the wall socket.
- Unscrew the defective light bulb by turning it anti-clockwise.
- Replace it with the new bulb (max. 10 W).
- Secure the bulb by turning it clockwise.
The temperature in the cabinet can be adjusted by using the temperature control. We
recommend setting the control initially to position 3. After a certain time, the actual
temperature should then be checked with a thermometer, and adjustments made if
necessary. Turning the temperature control clockwise will decrease the temperature, while
turning anti-clockwise will increase it.
Freezer compartment door
To ensure that frozen food will not de-frost prematurely, the door to the freezer
compartment should be kept closed at all times. This will also prevent an undue build-up of
ice and frost. Ensure, therefore, that the door is only opened briefly to place food in the
freezer compartment or to remove it.
Freezing and storing food
- The temperatures inside the refrigerator cabinet and freezer compartment depend
mainly on the ambient temperature, the temperature control setting and the amount of
food stored.
Freezer compartment:
- The freezer compartment is designed for short-term storage of frozen food for around 24
hours.
