Startup / Operation

Prior to first use

| CAUTION:
After transport, the appliance should be left standing upright for about four hours before connecting to the power supply. Nonobservance could lead to malfunction of the cooling system and causes an appliance breakdown.
---|---

Clean the appliance interior including all accessory parts. Consider the instructions which 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

Setting [ 0 ] means that the appliance is in the off state. Turn the temperature control clockwise, starting from this setting; the appliance will turn on automatically.
The power levels [ 1 – 7 ] regulate the different values of the internal temperature.

Setting 0: Off state
Power level 1 + 2 :
lowest level → warmest internal temperature (Temperature range approx. +4°C∼+10°C)
Power level 3 + 4 :
medium level → optimal operating temperature (Temperature range approx. +3°C∼+7°C)
Power level 5 + 6 + 7* :*
highest level → coldest internal temperature (Temperature range approx. 0°C∼+6°C)
Beware** of high setting because the maximum level may already means “freezing point”.

Basically, the temperature changes depending on the
ambient temperature (place of installation), the frequency of opening the door and the equipment.
During initial operation, adjust the lowest possible temperature (= highest power level) first, until the appliance has reached the desired operating temperature. Afterwards it is recommended to turn the control back to a medium setting; correcting the temperature at a later point would then be easier.

| NOTE:
In generally a medium power level works best for an
optimized food storage. A high power level also increases the energy consumption.
---|---

Interior light

When opening the appliance door, the interior light will turn on automatically.

Storing food

| NOTE: Recommendation!
To guarantee that the temperature is low enough, you should pre-cool the appliance a few times before initial loading foods.
---|---
| CAUTION:
Always pay attention to the storage instructions on the sales packaging.
---|---

Always store food covered or packed to prevent drying-out and transfer of odor or taste onto other food items. You may pack the food with e.g.

• Polyethylene plastic bags or foil
• Plastic bowl with lid
• Special plastic cover with elastic strip
• Aluminum foil

To avoid contamination of food, respect the following instructions:

• Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
• Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems (see “Cleaning and Maintenance”).
• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food.
• If the appliance is out of use for long period, follow the instructions under “Switching off”.

Storage space

Depending on requirements, shelves/drawers (partially and depending on model) can be adjusted in height or removed to optimize the storage space.

| NOTE :
For the most efficient use of energy, place all shelves/drawers in their original position.
---|---

Temperature zones and storage recommendations
The optimal cooling temperature is around 5∼7 degrees for the central area of the cooling
Different cooling zones are created by the air circulation. Regardless of the power level, cold air drops off.

• The coldest zone is on the cooling rear wall and in the lower cooling part. Recommended for storing perishable foods such as meat, fish and sausages at around 2∼3 degrees.

• About that it becomes less cold. For dairy products such as yoghurt, cheese and co., the center of the cooling is just the right temperature at around 5 degrees.

• Well-packed leftovers or preserves needs less cooling. The upper cooling part at around 6∼8 degrees could be the right place.

• The cooling door is one of the warmest locations.
  The upper racks are good location for food that needs moderate cooling, such as butter and eggs.
  There is space for drinks in the lower door racks.

• The vegetable box (depending on the model) is suitable for fruit and vegetables at a temperature of around 8 degrees, depending on the cooling temperature. To ensure that delicate fruits and vegetables feel good, a glass shelf above avoids the falling cold.

Operating noise

Switching off

To switch off the appliance turn the temperature control to the off state.
If the appliance is out of use for long periods:

• Remove the appliance content.
• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
• Defrost (model dependent) and clean the device thoroughly (see ”Cleaning and Maintenance”).
• Leave open the appliance door to avoid formation of mold and unpleased odors.

Tips for Energy saving

• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply if it isn’t in use.
• Do not install the appliance near stoves, heaters or other heat sources. In case of higher ambienttemperatures, the compressor will run more frequently and longer.
• Ensure enough ventilation at the bottom and rear side. Never block ventilation openings.
• Place all shelves, racks or drawers (depending on the model) in their original position.
• Adjust the temperature not colder than necessary.
• Allow warm food to cool before placing it in the appliance.
• Open the unit door only as necessary.
• Defrost the unit regularly (model dependent).
• The seal of the appliance door must be completely intact, so that the door closes properly

Cleaning and Maintenance

---|---

Cleaning the appliance including interior

• Clean the appliance interior, the exterior surfaces, the accessories and the door seal regularly with warm water and mild detergent; or with a clean, damp microfiber cloth without cleaning agent.
• Remove the appliance content and storage it at a cool location.
• Clean the thaw water discharge channel / opening carefully e.g. with a pipe cleaner.
• After everything was thoroughly dried, you can restart the operation.
• Depending on model: Wipe at least once a year the dust that has accumulated on the appliance back and condenser (metal grille). To do this, use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.

Defrosting

| CAUTION:
Never use metal objects (e.g. knifes) to remove ice from the evaporator. Otherwise it can be damaged..
---|---

The appliance has a semi automatic defrosting system. During defrosting water drops drains off at the back of the cooling chamber. The thaw water running through a channel, is collected in a drip tray located on the compressor, where it will evaporate. Make sure the water discharge opening does not get clogged. A light formation of ice on the interior back during operation is normal.
A permanently high power level can lead to increased ice formation. In this case, the appliance can be defrosted manually → set a lower power level.

Changing the bulb

| CAUTION:
Do NOT remove the cover of the interior light.
The LED light may be replaced / repaired in case of failure / defect only by an authorized specialist.
