After transportation, the appliance should be left standing upright for 2
hours before connecting to the power supply. Nonobservance could lead to
malfunction of the cooling system and cause an appliance breakdown.
Clean the appliance interior including all accessory parts. Please read the
instructions that we provide in the chapter “CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE”.
STARTING THE APPLIANCE
- Connect the appliance to the power supply.
- Operate the temperature control. See also the section “SETTINGS”.
SETTINGS
The power levels ( 1-6) regulate the different values of the internal
temperature.
- Setting MIN – Lowest setting (warmest inside temperature)
- Setting NORMAL – Medium setting
- Setting MAX – Highest setting (coldest inside temperature)
Note that the temperature will change depending on the ambient temperature,
frequency of door opening and the appliance loading.
During initial operation, turn the temperature control to the highest setting
(MAX) for 24 to 48 hours, until the device reaches the desired operating
temperature. Afterwards it is recommended to adjust the appliance to the
desired working temperature. Correcting the temperature at a later point would
then be easier.
NOTE:
When appliance is plugged in, a delay of 3-5 minutes may occur before starting
to work, as it may need time for its initial startup.
SWITCHING OFF
To switch off the appliance, disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
If the appliance is out of use for long periods:
