the FAST CHILL button again. The yellow light goes out.
Prior to Initial Start–Up
1
Before connecting the appliance to the mains and putting it into
operation for the first time, leave the appliance to stand for 30 minutes
if was transported upright. After transport on its side, the appliance
must be left to stand for 2 hours before putting it into operation. This is
necessary to allow the refrigerant to flow back into the compressor.
Otherwise the compressor may be damaged.
0 1. Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial
start-up (see section: “Maintenance and Cleaning”).
18 818 22 49-00/6
Initial Start-Up
0 1. Insert plug into mains socket.
2. Press ON/OFF button.
3. Set the refrigerator to the desired temperature (see section: "Tempera-
ture Adjustment").
3
Goods to be refrigerated can be loaded immediately after switching on,
because the storage temperature in the refrigerator is quickly reached.
Temperature Adjustment
With the buttons for temperature adjustment the desired temperatures
in the refrigerator can be adjusted.
0 1. Press either the „+“ (WARMER) or „-“ (COLDER) button.
The temperature display switches over and the DESIRED temperature
currently set flashes on the temperature display.
2. To adjust to a warmer temperature, press the „+“ (WARMER) button. To
adjust to a colder temperature, press the „-“ (COLDER) button. The
changed setting is immediately displayed on the temperature display.
Each time the button is pressed the temperature is adjusted by 1 °C.
Adjustable temperature range: +2 °C to +8 °C.
Note: From a food safety point of view, +5 °C for the refrigerator
compartment should be considered cold enough as a storage
temperature.
3
When the buttons are not further pressed after an adjustment has been
made, after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) the temperature display swit-
ches over and again displays the ACTUAL temperature in the refrigera-
tor. The display changes from flashing to illuminated numbers.
The compressor will start and then run automatically.
Information! When the setting is changed, the compressor does not
start immediately if automatic defrosting is currently taking place.
818 22 49-00/6 19
"Open Door" Warning
If the fridge door is left open for longer than 5 minutes the red warn-
ing display will flash and an acoustic warning tone will sound.
If you need more time to load or rearrange refrigerated foods, you can
switch off the warning tone by pressing the WARNING OFF button.
The red warning display will go off when the door is closed.
Temperature warning
The red warning light flashes and a warning tone sounds, as soon as the
temperature in the refrigerator is warmer than 12 °C. Such a rise in
temperature can possibly be put down to:
– opening the door a lot or leaving it open for a long time;
– storing larger quantities of warm food;
– a fault with the appliance.
You can turn off the warning tone using the WARNING OFF button.
The warning light and the warning tone switch off automatically,
when the ACTUAL temperature existing in the refrigerator drops below
12 °C again.
Switching the Appliance off
0 1. To switch off, push and hold down the ON/OFF button for approx.
1 second. The temperature display will go off.
Note:
The appliance cannot be switched on or off if unplugged, or if there is
no power being supplied to it.

to the same operating state as before the interruption of main power.
If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period:
0 1. Switch off the appliance, to do this press the ON/OFF button for
approx. 1 second (see above).
2. Remove the mains plug.
3. Clean the appliance thoroughly (see section: "Maintenance and Clean-
ing").
4. Leave door open to avoid accumulation of odours.
