7 Start-up

7.1 Before starting up for the first time
After transportation, the appliance should be left to stand for at least 24 hours
so that the refrigerant can separate from the appliance oil and collect in the
compressor. Non-observance of this may damage the compressor and lead to the
appliance malfunctioning. In such a case the warranty becomes invalid.
Clean the interior of the refrigerator and all of the accessories to be found here with
commercially available, mild cleaning products.
WARNING: Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol
!
cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.
CAUTION: Please ensure that the bottom of appliance is not covered by bottles
to avoid disrupting the condensation drain. It is best to put the bottles on a shelf.
The shelf can withstand the maximum load 4.5 kg.
7.2 Connecting the appliance to the mains supply
IMPORTANT
It is imperative that the appliance be earthed according to the directions.
For this purpose, the plug of the connecting cable is provided with the
appropriate contact.
IMPORTANT
Consult a specialist electrician if the plug does not fit into the socket. Do not
try to force the plug into the socket.
IMPORTANT
If you disconnect the appliance from the mains supply, or if a power
outage occurs: wait for 5 minutes before you restart the appliance.

8 Operation

8.1 Switching on the appliance
In order to switch on the appliance, insert the mains plug into the socket.
8.2 Setting the temperature
The temperature can be set at from 0°C to 10°C. It is set by the knob.
NOTE
Please note that the temperature will change depending on the ambient
temperature (installation site), the frequency of opening the door and the
contents.
Please note the best-before date of the products.
IMPORTANT
High room temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold temperature
setting can lead to continuous refrigerator operation. The reason for this is
that the compressor has to run continuously in order to maintain the low
temperature in the appliance. In this case, the appliance is not able to defrost
automatically since this is only possible when the compressor is not running
(see defrosting section). Therefore, a thick layer of frost or ice may form on
the rear interior wall.
8.3 Noises during operation
Normal noises
• Humming – the noise is caused by the compressor during operation.
It is loud when it switches on or off.
• Liquid noise – caused by the refrigerant circulating in the unit.
• Clicking noises – the temperature regulator switches the compressor
on or off.
