NOTE
Before starting your new refrigerator for the first time, you should clean
it inside and outside with a damp cloth for hygienic reasons (please also
refer to the chapter "Cleaning and care" on page 22).
8.1 Energy saving tips
• Choose a well ventilated installation location which is protected against direct
sunlight.
• Allow warm food to cool down first before placing it in the cooling device to
keep cool.
• Do not open the cooling device more often than necessary.
• Do not leave the cooling device open for longer than necessary.
• Defrost your refrigerator as soon as a layer of ice forms.
• Avoid unnecessarily low temperature settings.
• Clean dust and dirt from the condenser at regular intervals.
8.2 Using the refrigerator
The refrigerator conserves fresh foodstuffs. The freezer compartment conserves fro-
zen foodstuffs and freezes fresh foodstuffs.
A
NOTICE!
• Do not place any electrical devices inside the refrigerator. The only
exceptions are devices approved for the purpose by the
manufacturer.
• Ensure that food or liquids in glass containers are not excessively
cooled.
Liquids expand when they freeze and can thus destroy the glass
containers.
• Food may only be stored in its original packaging or in suitable
containers.
• Ensure that the objects placed in the refrigerator are suitable for
cooling to the selected temperature.
➤ Switch the refrigerator on by turning the temperature control (fig. 2 1 page 3)
clockwise.
