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.

Fault Possible cause Remedial action
Temperature differs greatly
from the set value.
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.
The light does not work. Light switch is jammed. Check whether the light switch can move.
The light is defective. (See chapter “Light”.)
Controls have reduced lumi-
nosity.
When the appliance is not used for
some time, the display on the fascia
switches to energy saving mode.
As soon as the appliance is again used, e.g. the
door is opened, the display switches back to nor-
mal illumination.
Displays do not illuminate. Power cut;
the fuse has tripped; the mains plug
has not been inserted properly.
Connect the mains plug. Check whether the
power is on, and check the fuses.
