Starting Up and Temperature Regulation
Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water with a little bicar-
bonate of soda added (5ml to 0,5 litre of water). Do not use soap or deter-
gent as the smell may linger. Dry the appliance thoroughly.
• When the refrigerator compartment door is opened, the internal lighting
is switched on. The temperature control knob is located on the right hand
side of the refrigerator compartment.
Setting “0”: Off.
Setting “1”: Highest temperature, (warmest setting).
Setting “6” (end-stop) : Lowest temperature, (coldest setting).
The exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature
inside the refrigerator depends on:
-the quantity of food stored
-how often the door is opened
The temperatures in the refrigerator compartment and freezer compart-
ment cannot be independently regulated.
If you want to freeze fresh food rapidly, select setting “6”, ensuring that the
temperature in the refrigerator compartment does not drop below 0°C. You
should reset the temperature control knob to setting “3” or “4”, if this does
occur.
As soon as the fresh food placed in the freezer has frozen, return the tem-
perature control knob to “3” or “4”.
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.
If this happens, turn the temperature regulator back to a warmer setting
(position "3" to "4"). At this setting the compressor will be switched on and
off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced.

Positioning
This appliance should only be installed at a location where the ambient
temperature corresponds to the climate classification indicated on the rat-
ing plate, which is located on the inside left of the appliance.
The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each
climate classification.
Climate classification for an ambient temperature of
SN +10 to +32 °C
N +16 to +32 °C
Your appliance needs air
For safety reasons, minimum ventila-
tion must be as shown Fig.
Attention: keep ventilation openings
clear of obstruction;
Reversing the door
The side the door opens can be changed from the right side (factory adjust-
ment) to the left side, if the installation site requires.
Warning! When changing the side the door opens, the appliance must not
be connected to the mains. Remove plug from the mains beforehand.
The appliance should be located in a dry atmosphere, out of direct sunlight
and away from continuous heat and extreme temperature, e.g. not next to
a boiler or radiator, or in a very cold room e.g. an outhouse. If these tem-
peratures are exceeded i.e. warmer or colder, then the appliance may not
operate correctly.
For building-in and door reversal instructions please refer to the relevant
instructions on the following pages.
