[. . . ] Interior light is switched on when the door is open. Operating tips The refrigerator compartment temperature drops temporarily: S by freezing large quantities of fresh food in the freezer compartment. The refrigerator compartment temperature rises: S if the appliance door is opened frequently, Selecting the temperature We recommend storing perishable foods at a temperature not warmer than +4 ºC. When the controller is at a medium setting, the temperature drops to approx. A higher setting lowers the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer compartments. We recommend: S for short term storage of food: low controller setting (energy saving mode) S for long term storage of food: medium controller setting S set a high controller setting only temporarily if: door is opened frequently, large amounts of food are placed in the refrigerator compartment. S if large quantities of food are placed in the refrigerator compartment, S if the ambient temperature is high. Storing of food Take note of the cold zones in the refrigerating zone! Due to the air circulation in the refrigerating zone, zones with different temperatures are produced: S Coldest zones is between the arrow stamped on the side and the glass shelf situated below, Fig. When serving, the cheese keeps it aroma and the butter remains spreadable. Refrigerating capacity The temperature in the refrigerator compartment may rise temporarily if large amounts of food or a lot of drinks are placed in the refrigerator compartment. Therefore the temperature controller should be set to a high setting for approx. 7 hours. 7 en When storing the food, note that food is well wrapped or covered over. Apart from which, the transfer of taste and dying of plastic parts is avoided.

Gradually reduce the temperature if the sticker does not indicate OK". Note When the appliance is switched on, it may take 12 hours until the temperature is reached. Correct setting Temperature too high, reduce temperature. The freezer compartment* Use the freezer compartment S For storing frozen food S For making ice cubes S For freezing small quantities of food The freezer compartment door closes with a noticeable click. if the door is left open, the contents of the freezer compartment will start to thaw. There will be a build up of ice inside the freezer compartment and, in addition, a considerable amount of energy will be wasted due to higher electricity consumption. Usable capacity Information on the usable capacity can be found inside your appliance on the rating plate. 8 *only for appliances with a freezer compartment en Freezing and storing frozen food* Purchasing deep frozen food Packaging must not be damaged. The refrigerating unit and interior light switch OFF. Disconnecting the appliance Thawing frozen food* Depending on the type of food and intended use, frozen produce can be thawed as follows: S At room temperature S In the refrigerator S In an electric oven, with/without fan assisted hot air S In the microwave Note Do NOT refreeze food which is beginning to thaw or which has already thawed. It can only be refrozen when it has been used to prepare a ready meal (boiled or fried). storage period. If the appliance is not to be used for a prolonged period: 1. Leave the appliance door and freezer compartment door open. Defrosting the freezer compartment * The freezer compartment does not defrost automatically, as the frozen food must not thaw. A layer of hoarfrost in the freezer compartment will impair refrigeration of the frozen food and increase power consumption. Attention: Do not scrape off hoarfrost or ice with a knife or pointed object. Leaking refrigerant may ignite or cause eye injuries. 10 *only for appliances with a freezer compartment en Proceed as follows: 1.
