Switching On: Insert the plug into the wall socket and turn the temperature regulator clockwise to a medium setting. A medium setting is generally the most suitable.
Switching Off: Turn the temperature regulator to the "O" position.
Temperature Regulation: The temperature is regulated automatically, but can be set manually. Turn the regulator clockwise for lower temperatures and counterclockwise for higher temperatures. Factors affecting temperature include room temperature, door opening frequency, food quantity, and appliance location.
Daily Use: For storage, position shelves at different heights. Clean the interior with lukewarm water and neutral soap before first use. Do not use harsh detergents.
Freezing and Storage: The freezer is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen food. Allow the appliance to run for at least 2 hours on higher settings before loading. Freeze fresh food in the middle compartment.
Thawing: Deep-frozen or frozen food can be thawed in the refrigerator or at room temperature. Small pieces can be cooked directly from frozen.
