• To change the temperature in steps: Briefly press the button.
  -or-
• To change the temperature continuously: Hold down the button.
• During the adjustment, b1 to b9 are displayed.
• The actual temperature is displayed about 5 seconds after the last press of a button. The temperature slowly adjusts to the new value.

Adjusting the humidity
The humidity in the appliance can be adjusted depending on what type of food is placed inside.
The dry setting produces a dry atmosphere suitable for storing dry or wrapped food (dairy products, meat, fish, sausages). The appliance has the lowest energy consumption in this operating mode.
The hydro setting produces a humid atmosphere suitable for storing unwrapped salad, vegetables and fruit with high intrinsic moisture. When the drawers are well filled, a dewy atmosphere with a humidity of up to 90% max. is established.
The humidity in the compartment depends on the moisture content of the food stored and on the opening frequency. dry is preset.

• Setting hydro: Press the dry/ hydro Fig. 3 (4) button until the symbol appears. Release the button.

• The dry/hydro Fig. 3 (5) symbol lights up.

• Setting dry: Press the dry/hydro Fig. 3 (4) button until the symbol goes out. Release the button.

Drawers

• To remove the drawers at a door angle of 90°:
• As you pull out the drawers, push slightly to the side then pull them up and out.

Note
The energy consumption increases and the cooling power goes down if ventilation is not sufficient.

• Never obstruct the vents on the interior rear wall!
• The vegetable bowl in the well is suitable for storing small parts that are not used very often.
• To store the food straight on the shelves: Pull the drawer forwards and lift it out.

If you can remove the lamps yourself without destroying them, also remove these before disposal.

• Take the appliance out of operation. (see 8.2 Taking the appliance out of service)
• Appliances with batteries: remove the batteries. For description, see Maintenance chapter.
• If possible: remove lamps without destroying them.

Disposing of the appliance in an environmentally friendly manner

• The appliance still contains valuable materials and must be disposed of separately from unsorted municipal waste.
• Dispose of batteries separately from the old appliance. To do this, you can return the batteries free of charge to retailers as well as recycling centres and collection centres for recyclable materials.
• Dispose of removed lamps via the respective collection systems.

For Germany:

• You can dispose of the appliance free of charge via the class 1 collection containers at the local recycling and recyclable material collection centres.
• When purchasing a new fridge/freezer, if the sales area 400 m2, retailers will also take back the old appliance free of charge.

WARNING
Leaking coolant and oil!
Fire. The coolant contained in the appliance is eco-friendly, but also flammable. The oil contained in the appliance is flammable. Escaping coolant and oil can ignite if the concentration is high enough and in contact with an external heat source.
