You can find out everything you need to know about operating your appli- ance here.

Switching on the appliance

1.Turn the temperature controller from position "0". a The appliance begins to cool.

2.Set the required temperature.

→ Page 15

Operating tips

• Once you have switched on the appliance, the set temperature is only reached after several hours. Do not put in any food in the appli- ance until the temperature is reached.
• If you open the refrigerator com- partment door frequently, put large quantities of food in the appliance or if the room temperature is high, the temperature of the refrigerator compartment rises.

Switching off the appliance

▶ Turn the temperature controller to position "0".

The appliance stops cooling.

Setting the temperature

After you have switched on the appli- ance, you can set the temperature.

Setting the refrigerator compartment temperature

▶ Turn the temperature controller to the required setting. When the controller is at a medium setting, the temperature drops to approx. 4 °C in the coldest zone.

→ ""OK" sticker", Page 16

Refrigerator compartment

You can keep meat, sausage, fish, dairy products, eggs, ready meals and pastries in the refrigerator com- partment.

The temperature can be set from set- ting 1 to setting 5.

When the controller is at a medium setting, the temperature drops to ap- prox. 4 °C in the coldest zone.

→ ""OK" sticker", Page 16

The refrigerator compartment can also be used to store highly perish- able foods in the short to medium term. The lower the selected temper- ature, the longer the food remains fresh.

Tips for storing food in the re- frigerator compartment

Follow the tips if you store food in your refrigerator compartment.

• To ensure that the freshness and quality of the food is retained for longer, only store fresh and un- spoiled food.
• In the case of ready-made products and bottled goods, do not exceed the best-before date or use-by date specified by the manu- facturer.
• To retain aroma, colour and fresh- ness or to prevent taste transfer and discolouration of the plastic parts, store food well wrapped or covered.
• Leave warm food and beverages to cool down before placing them in the refrigerator compartment.

Chill zones in the refrigerator compartment

The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment creates different chill zones.

Coldest zone

The coldest zone is in the pull-out container.

Warmest zone

The warmest zone is at the very top of the door.

Tip: Store food that does not spoil easily in the warmest zone, e.g. hard cheese and butter. Cheese can then continue to release its aroma and the butter will still be easy to spread.

Cooling capacity

The temperature in the refrigerator compartment may rise temporarily if loaded with fairly larger amounts of food or drinks.

Tip: Turn the temperature controller to a higher setting for approx. seven hours.

→ "Setting the refrigerator compart- ment temperature", Page 15

"OK" sticker

The "OK" sticker lets you check whether the refrigerator compartment reaches the safe temperature ranges of +4 °C or colder recommended for food.

The "OK" sticker is not included with all models.

If the sticker does not indicate "OK", gradually reduce the temperature.

→ "Setting the refrigerator compartment temperature", Page 15

Once the appliance is switched on, it may take up to 12 hours until the set temperature is reached.

Correct setting

Defrosting

Observe the information when you want to defrost your appliance.

Defrosting in the refrigerator compartment

When the appliance is operating, condensation droplets or frost form on the rear panel of the refrigerator compartment due to functional reas- ons. The back panel in the refriger- ator compartment defrosts automatic- ally.

Condensation or frost run through the condensation channel into the drain- age hole to the evaporation pan and do not have to be wiped away.

To ensure that the condensation can drain and odours do not form, ob- serve the following information:

→ "Cleaning the condensation chan- nel and drainage hole", Page 17.
