Starting up - Setting the temperature
The temperature regulator is in the refrigerator com-
partment on the upper right. It is also the ON/OFF-
switch.
Position "0" = Refrigeration off
Position "1" = Warmest interior temperature
Position "6" = Coldest interior temperature
1. Plug the mains plug into the mains socket. When
the door is opened the interior lighting comes on.
2. Set the required temperature by turning the tem-
perature regulator.
The compressor starts and then runs automati-
cally.
3. If you want a higher or lower temperature, turn the
temperature regulator to a warmer or cooler set-
ting respectively.
Note: When the setting is changed, the compressor
does not start immediately if automatic defrosting is
currently taking place.
Goods to be refrigerated can be loaded
3
immediately after switching on, because the
storage temperature in the refrigerator is
quickly reached.
Important! Wait until the freezer compart-
ment has reached a temperature of –18 °C,
before storing frozen food.
Note: From a food science point of view,
3
+5 °C for the refrigerator compartment and -
18 °C for the freezer compartment should be
considered cold enough as a storage tem-
perature.
The following effects are of significance in respect of
the interior temperature:
– Ambient temperature;
– Quantity and temperature of the food stored;
– Frequency with which the door is opened and
how long it is left open
– A defect in the appliance.

The temperature regulator setting may therefore
need to be adjusted to suit the specific conditions.
Recommendet settings:
Examples:
Ambient
Temperature
Approx. 10 °C
Approx. 16 °C
Approx. 25 °C
Approx. 32 °C
Approx. 38 °C
Note: At the setting given under „recommendet set-
tings" the fridge has an average temperature of
approx. +5 °C; the average temperature in the freezer
compartment is then approx. –18 °C or colder. These
figures apply at ambient temperatures from +10 °C to
+38 °C.
At higher ambient temperatures, fresh food is prop-
erly frozen with the regulator set to a range about "2",
without the fridge becoming too cold.
Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer
days) and a cold setting on the temperature regulator
(position"5" to "6") can cause the compressor to run
continuously.
Reason: when the ambient temperature is high, the
compressor must run continuously to maintain the
low temperature in the appliance. The fridge will not
be able to defrost since automatic defrosting of the
fridge is only possible when the compressor is not
running (see also "Defrosting" section). The result is
the build up of a thick layer of frost on the fridge rear
wall.
If this happens, turn the temperature regulator back
to a warmer setting (position "4" to "5"). At this setting
the compressor will be switched on and off as usual
and automatic defrosting recommenced.
