Using the temperature setting buttons, the required temperature for the cooling mode can now be entered. · When the setting is switched from "Cooling" to "Freezing" "CF" (Cooling -> Freezing) appears in the temperature display, an acoustic signal confirms the change and the temperature display changes to flashing figures (DESIRED temperature freezing mode -18 °C). Using the temperature setting buttons, the required temperature for the freezing mode can now be entered. 3 The operation mode, in which your appliance is at the moment, is identifiable if the temperatures can be set above or below 0 °C. Set the temperature depending upon the selected operation mode (see the chapter "Temperature Adjustment"). If you are using the appliance as a freezing unit: Please wait prior to putting the foodstuff to be frozen, until the freezer interior temperature has attained -18 °C, or until the red warning display goes off. If you are using this appliance as a cooling unit, after it has been used as a freezing unit: Please wait until the temperature has reached 0 °C before putting the foodstuff to be cooled in the appliance. 20 818 22 12-00/4 Temperature Adjustment 0 1.

The display changes from flashing to illuminated numbers. Please check red warning display and temperature display regularly to assure maintenance of the storage temperature. Opening the door If the door is closed when the appliance is in operation, it cannot be immediately opened again, because a vacuum occurs which holds the door closed until pressure has been equalised. The door can be opened again after several minutes.

They have a relatively low boiling-point, indeed so low, that the warmth from the food stored in the fridge or freezer can cause the refrigerant to boil and vaporise. · Refrigerant Circuit Closed circulation system that contains the refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit comprises primarily of an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser and pipe work. [. . . ]
