Starting up and temperature regulation
Insert the plug of the connection lead into the plug socket with protective earth contact. When the
refrigerator compartment door is opened, the internal lighting is switched on.
The temperature selector knob is located on the RH side of the
refrigerator compartment.
Setting “0” means: Off.
Turning clockwise in direction “1”:
Refrigerating unit on, the latter then operating automatically.
Setting “1” means:
Hightest temperature, warmest setting.
Setting “6” (end-stop) means:
Lowest temperature, coldest setting.
The temperatures in the refrigerator compartment and freezer compartment cannot be independently
regulated.
At a low ambient temperature of around 16°C, setting “1” should be selected. At ambient temperatures
of around 25°C, select setting “2”.
If you require a lower temperature, select setting “3” or “4”. On this setting , you can be sure the fresh
food will be reliably frozen and that a storage temperature of -18°C will be maintained in the freezer
compartment.
If you want the freeze fresh food rapidly, select setting “6”, ensuring that the temperature in the refrig-
erator compartment does not drop blow 0°C. You should also promptly reset the temperature regulator
to setting “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.
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 “3” to “4”). At this
setting the compressor will be switched on and off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced.

Storage shelves/wire trays
Various glass or plastic storage shelves and wire trays are included with your appliance - different
models have different combinations.
You should always slide one of the full size glass storage shelves into the lowest set of guides, above the
fruit and vegetable containers, and keep it in this position.
The height of the storage shelves can be adjusted:
To do this pull the storage shelf forward until it can be swivelled upwards or downwards and removed.
Please do the same in reverse to insert the shelf at a different
height.
VARIO glass storage shelf
Your appliance is equipped with two half size glass storage shelves.
Storing tall items:
Slide the front half of the Vario storage shelf in another level to
