Climatic class Permitted am bient temperatu re +10 °C to 32 °C +16 °C to 32 °C +18 °C to 38 °C +18 °C to 43 °C Connecting the appliance After installing the appliance, wait at least. ½ hour before switching on the appliance. During transportation the oil in the compressor may have flowed into the refrigeration system. Before switching on the appliance for the first time, clean the interior (see Cleaning). Do not operate the appliance until it has been installed. Connect the appliance to 220 240 V/ 50 Hz alternating current via a correctly installed earthed socket. The socket must be fused with a 10 A fuse or higher. If the appliance is to be operated in a non European country, check on the rating plate whether the indicated voltage and current type correspond to the values of your mains supply. The rating plate is situated in the bottom left hand side of the appliance. The power cord may be replaced by an electrician only. SN N ST T If the ambient temperature drops below the permitted temperature limit, the freezer compartment may become too warm. The frozen food may thaw in extreme cases. Ventilation The air on the rear panel of the appliance heats up. Otherwise, the refrigerator must work harder. This will increase the power consumption. Therefore: Never cover or block ventilation openings! 7 en Switching ON the appliance Rotate the temperature selector Fig. Interior light is switched on when the door is open. Cooling capacity The temperature in the refrigerator compartment may rise temporarily if loaded with fairly large amounts of food. Therefore the temperature selector should be rotated to a higher setting (e. g. setting 4) for 7 hours. Selecting the temperature We recommend a medium setting of +4 °C. Perishable food should not be stored warmer than +4 °C. [. . . ] g Temperature selector has been set too high. The temperature selector is set to 0".
