Starting up and temperature regulation
Connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply.
When the refrigerator compartment door is opened, the internal light-
ing is switched on.
The temperature selector knob is located on the right hand side of the
refrigerator compartment.
Setting "0" means: Off.
Turning clockwise in direction "1":
Refrigerating unit on, the latter then
operating automatically.
Setting "1" means:
Hightest temperature, warmest set-
ting.

Setting "6" (end-stop) means:
Lowest temperature, coldest setting.
At a low ambient temperature of around 16°C, setting "1" should be
selected. At ambient temperatures of around 25°C, select setting "2". If
you require a lower temperature, select setting "3" or "4".
Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold set-
ting on the thermostat (position"5" to "6") can cause the compressor
to run continuously.
Reason: when the ambient temperature is high, the compressor must
run continuously to maintain the low temperature in the appliance.
The fridge will not be able to defrost since automatic defrosting of the
fridge is only possible when the compressor is not running (see also
"Defrosting" section). The result is the build up of a thick layer of frost
on the fridge rear wall.
If this happens, turn the thermostat knob back to a warmer setting
(position "3" to "4"). At this setting the compressor will be switched on
and off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced.
