[. . . ] Caution: Keep any packaging materials well away from children: there is a risk of suffocation. The cooling circuit in this appliance contains the refrigerant isobutane (R600a), a natural gas with a high level of environmental compatibility, which is nevertheless flammable. Ensure, therefore, that none of the components of the refrigerant circuit become damaged during transportation and installation of the appliance. If damage to the cooling circuit does occur, do not switch on or connect the appliance to the mains power. [. . . ] Warning: Do not attempt to reverse the doors yourself; if this becomes necessary, contact the customer service for assistance. Temperature control The unit is activated by connecting it to the mains. It is only switched off completely when the plug is removed from the wall socket. The temperature in the refrigerator cabinet can be adjusted by setting the temperature control. Turning the control clockwise will decrease the temperature, while turning it anti-clockwise will increase it. € After switching on, the temperature control should be set to its highest setting. 30 minutes, the temperature should be changed to a medium setting, which is usually sufficient for home or office use. Following a power interruption, or if the unit has been switched off on purpose, it may take 3 to 5 minutes before it switches on again. € The temperatures inside the refrigerator cabinet and freezer compartment depend mainly on the ambient temperature, the temperature control setting and the amount of food stored. Interior lighting Changing the light bulb: – Remove the plug from the wall socket. € Slide the cover back into position; ensure that it locks properly into place. € To ensure that nutritious elements such as vitamins are not lost, fresh food should be deep-frozen 15 – – right through as quickly as possible. To that effect, the prepared food should be placed into the freezer compartments, properly spaced in one or two rows. After 24 hours, once the food is well frozen, the temperature control can be set back to its original position. The time required to freeze food may be shortened by dividing it into smaller portions. The packaging materials should be well aired before use; check that the package is air-tight before freezing the food. Use-by dates for frozen food are specified (in months) in the table below. € – In the event that the unit remains switched off for an extended period (power failure or shortterm malfunctions up to 15 hours), do not open the door; this will help to maintain the lowest possible temperature in the cabinet. It should be noted, however, that even a slight rise in the inside temperature will shorten the storage life of the food. Main cabinet – Different areas of the refrigerator cabinet are affected differently by the cooling effect. The warmest area is around the door in the higher part of the cabinet, the coldest around the rear wall and in the lower part of the cabinet. € The food should therefore be stored as follows: – On main cabinet shelves (from top to bottom): bakery items, ready meals, dairy products, meat, fish and cold meats/sausages.
