Switching on and off Before using for the first time Operating the appliance Removing packaging material A light touch of the finger on the sensors is all that is required to operate this appliance. Remove all packaging material from the inside of the appliance. Removing the protective foil The stainless steel strips of the shelves and the door shelves have a layer of protective foil to prevent scratching during transportation.
Switching on and off Switching off the appliance Touch the On/Off sensor. The temperature display will go out. If this is does not happen, the safety lock is activated (see “Further settings - Safety lock”). The cooling system is switched off. Switching off for longer periods of time If, during a long absence, the appliance is switched off but not cleaned and the door(s) left shut, there is a risk of mould forming inside the appliance. It is essential to clean the appliance.
The correct temperature It is very important to set the correct temperature for storing food in the appliance. Bacteria will cause food which is not stored at the correct temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influences the growth rate of these micro-organisms. Reducing the temperature reduces their growth rate. The temperature in the appliance will rise: – The more often the door is opened and the longer it is kept open. – The more food is stored in it. ...
The correct temperature Setting the temperature The two sensors next to the display are used for setting the temperature. Touch this sensor to lower the temperature. Useful tip: If you have adjusted the temperature, wait for approx. 6 hours if the appliance is not very full and for approx. 24 hours if the appliance is full before checking the temperature display. It will take this long for an accurate reading to be given.
Using SuperCool and DynaCool SuperCool Switching off SuperCool The SuperCool function can be used to rapidly reduce the temperature in the refrigerator section to its lowest setting (depending on the room temperature). The SuperCool function switches off automatically after 6-12 hours. The SuperCool symbol will go out and the appliance will run at normal power again. SuperCool is particularly recommended for the rapid chilling of large amounts of fresh food or drinks.
Using SuperCool and DynaCool DynaCool When the dynamic cooling function (DynaCool) is not switched on, the natural circulation of air will cause different temperature zones in the refrigerator as the cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest section. Make use of the different temperature zones when placing food in the refrigerator (see “Using the refrigerator efficiently”). However, if you are placing a large amount of food in the refrigerator (e.g. for a party), it is a good idea to switch on DynaCool.
