ENGLISH 11 Features 11.1 Interior lighting The interior lighting switches on automatically when opening the lid and swit- ches off when closing the lid. LED lamp data: Wattage: max. 5 W.

ENGLISH 11.4 Freezer tray (depending on features) The freezer tray can either be suspended on the basket or can be slid into the interior container and used as a partition. The freezer tray allows you to gently freeze fruit (e.g. berries, fruit pieces), herbs and vegetables for garnishing.
ENGLISH 13 Defrosting 13.1 Freezer function Over longer operating periods, a layer of frost and / or ice forms on the inner walls. This increases the energy consumption. Regular defrosting should be done for this reason. • Switch off the device for defrosting. Remove the fuse and disconnect the bat- tery or pull the power plug.
ENGLISH 15 Faults Your device is designed and manufactured for a long, fault-free, operating life. If it seems as if a fault has appeared during operation, please check whether this is perhaps due to an operating error, since you must pay for any costs incurred if the fault was caused by an operating error, even in the warranty period.
