[. . . ] The amount of refrigerant in your appliance is indicated on the rating plate inside the appliance. S Only customer service may change the power cord and carry out any other repairs. Improper installations and repairs may put the user at considerable risk. x Disposal of your old appliance Old appliances are not worthless rubbish!This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EG concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronical equipment - WEEE). [. . . ] Appliances which feature an ambient temperature switch can run at an ambient temperature of +16 °C to +10 °C when this switch is on. The light inside the appliance continues glowing at a reduced luminosity. If the ambient temperature rises above +16 °C, switch off the switch again. Ventilation The air on the rear panel of the appliance heats up. Therefore: Never cover or block ventilation openings! 6 en Switching ON the appliance Rotate the temperature selector Fig. Interior light is switched on when the door is open. Operating tips The refrigerator compartment temperature drops temporarily: S if large amounts of fresh food are frozen in the freezer compartment. The refrigerator compartment temperature rises: S if the appliance door is opened frequently, S if large quantities of food are placed in the refrigerator compartment, S if the ambient temperature is high. Selecting the temperature We recommend storing perishable foods at a temperature not warmer than +4 °C. When the controller is at a medium setting, the temperature drops to approx. Higher settings result in lower temperatures in the refrigerator and freezer compartment. We recommend: S for short term storage of food: low controller setting (energy saving mode, e. g. 4 5) only temporarily if: door opened frequently, large amounts of food placed in the refrigerator compartment. 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 glass shelf situated below. 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 rotated to a higher setting (e. g. setting 4) for 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. We recommend arranging the food as follows: S In the freezer compartment *: Frozen food, ice cubes, ice cream S On the shelves in the refrigerator compartment (from top to bottom): cakes and pastries, ready meals, dairy products, meat and sausage S In the vegetable container: vegetables, salad, fruit S In the door (from top to bottom): butter, cheese, eggs, tubes, small bottles, large bottles, milk, juice cartons Temperature indicator (Not all models) The temperature indicator indicates temperatures below +4 °C and is used to determine the required setting of the temperature controller. Set the tempera ture controller between 2 and 3 depen ding on the ambient temperature. For a precise temperature setting set the temperature controller to +4 °C or colder. 12 hours, when the temperature has dropped below +4 °C OK" is indicated (if this does not occur, gradually set the temperature colder). Correct setting Usable capacity Information on the usable capacity can be found inside your appliance on the rating plate. Temperature too high, set temperature colder 8 *only for appliances with a freezer compartment en Interior fittings of refrigerator compartment If required, you can vary the shelves inside the appliances: pull the shelf forwards, lower and swivel out to the side. Bags and polyethylene blown film can be sealed with a film sealer. Freezing capacity Information about the max. Note: Freezing fresh food automatically causes the refrigerating unit to remain in operation until all items are frozen all the way through. This can lead to a drop in temperature inside the refrigerator section. If necessary turn the temperature selector to a lower number. Freezing food * Freeze fresh, undamaged food only. [. . . ] * S Ensure that the freezer compartment door* has been closed properly. S Occasionally clean the rear of the appliance with a vacuum cleaner or paint brush to prevent an increased power consumption. *only for appliances with a freezer compartment 13 en Information on operating noises Normal noises S A humming noise is emitted by the motor (compressor). S A bubbling, gurgling or whirring noise is emitted by the refrigerant as it flows through the tubing. S A clicking noise can be heard when the thermostat switches the motor ON/OFF.
