2 Refrigerator temperature setting button
When the appliance has been turned on,
the indicator light will flash until working
temperature has been reached. When
working temperature has been reached,
the light will stay on permanently.
Depending on the amount of food put in
the appliance and room temperature, the
indicator light may start flashing once
more until the selected temperature has
been reached again.
Operating tips
• The fan (Fig, Q/18) turns itself on and
off as required by the refrigrator
compartment. (not all models)
• The sides of the housing are
sometimes heated slightly. This
prevents condensation in the area of
the door seal.
• While the refrigerating unit is running,
beads of water or hoarfrost form at the
back of the refrigerator compartment.
This is quite normal. It is not necessary
to scrape off the frost or wipe off the
beads of water. The rear panel
defrosts automatically. The
condensation is conveyed down the
drainage channel, Fig. I/A, to the
refrigerating unit where it evaporates.
• If the air humidity is high, condensation
may form in the refrigerator compart-
ment, especially on the glass shelves.
If this is the case, pack or wrap the
food and select a lower temperature in
the refrigerator compartment.
• If you cannot open the freezer
compartment door immediately after
closing it, wait 2–3 minutes until the
partial vacuum has equalised.
• The refrigeration system may cause
several areas of the freezer shelves to
frost quickly. This does not affect
function or power consumption.
The appliance does not require
defrosting until the entire surface of the
freezer shelf is covered with more than
5 mm of frost or ice.
• Do not allow grease or oil to come into
contact with plastic parts inside the
refrigerator or the door seal. Both this
plastic and the rubber door seal. Both
this plastic and the rubber door seal
are liable to perish.
• To enhance appliance performance to
the full, do not place foodstuff near to
refrigerator compartment sensor
(fig. Q/19).
• Important for the storage of frozen
products:
If the temperature in the area around
the appliance falls beneath +19ºC, the
system for low room temperatures will
come on automatically. When this
system comes on, the interior light will
come and stay on at low power. This is
not a fault.
