Operating tips
■ When the appliance has been switched on, it may take several hours until the set temperatures have been reached. Do not put in any food until the selected temperature has been reached.
■ The fully automatic NoFrost system ensures that the freezer compartment remains free of ice. Defrosting is not required.
■ The front sides of the housing are partly heated slightly. This prevents condensation in the area of the door seal.
■ If the freezer compartment door cannot be immediately re-opened after it has been closed, wait until the resulting low pressure has equalized.
Switching off the appliance
■ Press the main On/Off switch.
The appliance is no longer cooling.
