Operating and indicator panel 4 0 1 3 1 1 Pilot light (green) 2 Temperature regulator and ON/OFF switch 2 2 The temperature regulator (1), which serves at the same time as the applianceÕs On-/Off switch. The green pilot lamp (2), which comes on when the panel is switched on and the mains voltage is available. In this switch position, the refrigerating unit automatically operates by system control.
Important! High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting on the temperature regulator (position"3" to "4") can cause the compressor to run continuously. If this happens, turn the temperature regulator back to a warmer setting (position "2" to "3"). At this setting the compressor will be switched on and off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced.
Fresh food refrigeration To obtain the best performance: ¥ do not store warm food or evaporating liquide in the refrigeator ¥ do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour. ¥ Position food so that air can circuiate freely round it. Useful hints: Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer(s)For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.
