Remove the mains plug or switch off. 3. Clean the appliance thoroughly (see section: "Maintenance and Cleaning"). 4. Leave door open to avoid accumulation of odours. Holiday Mode In the holiday mode the temperature for the refrigerator is approximately +15 °C.
Control and Information Systems The control and information systems consist of the temperature display, an optical warning display and an acoustic warning. The system warns if: – if the appliance door remains open for longer than 5 minutes; – if the temperature in the fridge compartment is too warm; – functional disturbances at the appliance. "Open Door"-Warning If the fridge door is left open for longer than 5 minutes the red warning display will flash and an acoustic warning tone will sound.
Interior Accessories Storage Shelves The shelf in the lowest runners over the fruit and vegetable drawer must always remain in this position, so that fruit and vegetables stay fresher for longer. The remaining storage shelves can be adjusted to various heights: 0 1. Pull the storage shelf forward until it can be tipped up or down and removed. 2. To insert at a different height use the same procedure in reverse. Adjustment for tall items: 0 1.

Noises during Operation The following noises are characteristic of refrigeration appliances: • Clicks Whenever the compressor switches on or off, a click can be heard. • Humming As soon as the compressor is in operation, you can hear it humming. • Bubbling/Splashing When refrigerant flows into thin tubes, you can hear bubbling or splashing noises. Even after the compressor has been switched off, this noise can be heard for a short time.
Technical Terminology • Refrigerant Liquids that can be used to a generate a cooling effect are known as refrigerants. They have a relatively low boiling-point, indeed so low, that the warmth from the food stored in the fridge or freezer can cause the refrigerant to boil and vaporise. • Refrigerant Circuit Closed circulation system that contains the refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit comprises primarily of an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser and pipe work.
