Power interruption
In the event of a power cut, food should remain safely cold for about 5 hours. Follow these
tips during a prolonged power interruption, especially in summer:
▶ Open the door/drawer as few times as possible.
▶ Do not put additional food into the appliance during a power interruption.
▶ If prior notice of a power interruption is given and the interruption duration is longer
than 5 hours, make some ice and put it in a container in the top of the refrigerator
compartment.
▶ An inspection of the goods is required immediately after the interruption.
▶ As temperature in the refrigerator will rise during a power interruption or other fail-
ure, the storage period and edible quality of food will be reduced. Any food that de-
frosts should be either consumed, or cooked and refrozen (where suitable) soon
afterwards in order to prevent health risks.
Memory function during power interruption
After restoration of power the appliance continues with the settings that were set before
the power failure.

the temperature inside the appliance and its energy consumption. Do not install the appli-
ance near other heat-emitting appliances (ovens, refrigerators) without isolation.
Space requirement

Fine tuning of the doors
If the doors are not in one level, this mismatch can be
remedied by following:
Using adjustable foot
Rotate the adjustable foot according to the direction
of arrow to turn up or down the foot.
Contact after-sale service if needed.
Notice:
In the future use of refrigerator, doors une-
ven phenomenon may occur to the weight of
stored food. Then please adjust according to
the above methods.
3. The stability can be checked by alternately bump-
ing on the diagonals. The slightly swaying should
be the same in both directions. Otherwise the
frame can warp; possible leaking door seals are
the result. A low tendency to the rear facilitates
the closing of the doors.
3.
Waiting time
To the maintenance-free lubrication oil is located in
the capsule of the compressor. This oil can get through
the closed pipe system during slanting transport. Be-
fore connecting the appliance to the power supply you
have to wait at least 2 hours so that the oil runs back
into the capsule.
