4 Rating plate

The rating plate with the technical data is located on the side
of the appliance inner wall or outside, on the rear side of the
unit.
Take a note of the technical data
Copy here below the technical data from the rating plate so
that it is easily accessible without having to move the

5 Connecting your appliance to the mains

 Your appliance must be connected only to a grounded
power socket, which complies with relevant standards
and has been installed by an authorised specialist.
 Before you plug in your appliance to the power socket,
make absolutely sure that the voltage (V) and the safety
fuse (A) for the main fuse box stated on the appliance's
rating plate match your electrical supply. If these do not
match, notify the nearest service department or your
dealer immediately.
 The appliance must not be connected up to an
inverse rectifier (eg. solar panels).

6 Using your appliance

Switching on / off and temperature selection
Temperature controller (thermostat controller)
The device is switched on and off with the temperature
controller and the fridge-freezer temperature is set.
Turn on a device:
After it has been connected to the power supply, the device
is switched on via the temperature controller.

7 Starting up the appliance

Switching on / off and Selecting the Temperature
Temperature dial (Thermostat)
The temperature dial switches the appliance on and off and
sets the cooling temperature.
Let the device stand for at least 3 hours before connecting it
to the mains.
The temperature in the device is regulated by the
temperature controller or the thermostat in the refrigerator.

For temperature control, 0 is the off setting,
1 is the warmest and 7 is the coldest setting.
Depending on the ambient temperature of the room in which
the device is located, you will need to set the temperature
controller differently.
In a room with a high ambient temperature, the temperature
control may need to be set to a colder setting (moved
towards setting 7), or in a room with a lower ambient
temperature to a warmer setting (towards 4 or 5).
Setting 7 should be used as a quick cool / freeze setting and
should only be set 2 hours before placing a large amount of
food in the refrigerator.
The temperature control should be reset to setting 6 after
the food has been placed in the refrigerator. Otherwise the
temperature in the refrigerator compartment may drop below
0 ° C as the compressor runs continuously. After setting the
temperature control, close the door.
We recommend not opening the door for at least 4 hours so
that the device reaches the standard operating temperature.
Warning!
 Do not store any bottled liquids in the freezer. Liquids
expand when frozen and the bottle may explode.
 Never keep explosive substances or aerosol cans with
inflammable propellants such as butane, propane,
pentane etc. in the freezer. Any escaping gases could be
ignited by electrical components. Such aerosol cans can
be recognised by the list of contents or by the inflammable
symbols printed on the can itself.
 When storing ready frozen food, you must follow the
manufacturer's instructions on the food packaging.
 Deep frozen ice-cream and ice-lollies must not be eaten
until a few minutes after being taken from the freezer to
avoid injury to lips and tongue (danger of
 skin detachment). For the same reason, avoid touching
the frozen inside walls of the freezer with wet hands.
 Defrosted or slightly frozen products should be used
immediately. As a rule, such products are not suitable for
re-freezing.
 Packaging should be dry to avoid things freezing together.
 Ready frozen foods should be stored so that they do not
come into contact with newly added foods that have not
yet frozen.
8 Freezing / Storing fresh food
Almost all fresh products are suitable for freezing and
storing in the freezer.
For the most common of these products, a storage guide
with details of acceptable storage times and the most
suitable packaging is provided. (See "Food storage guide"
at the back of this user manual).
Label fresh products clearly, as they are not easy to identify
when deep-frozen in transparent freezer-bags.
We recommend using commercially available labels for
frozen foods.
Pack fresh products in portions suitable for your needs to
avoid defrosting quantities that are too big for you to use up
in one day.
Label the portions with at least the following information:
 Product name (e.g. beef fillet)
 Weight of the Portion
 Quantity (number of pieces)
 Freezing date
 Use by date (see "Food storage guide")
