• Transfer and attach the lower door hinge to the
opposite side of the appliance; after unscrewing
the hinge pin and inserting it from the other hinge
side. Screw in the feet accordingly.
• Place the appliance back in the upright position.
Put on the appliance door and fix it in the intend-
ed position.
• Transfer and fix the upper door hinge to the op-
posite side of the appliance.
• Put on the appliance cover and fix it.
• Check the rubber door seal for proper fit and ad-
just it to the correct position if necessary.
Check that the door is aligned vertically and horizon-
tally to ensure proper opening and closing of the
door.
Startup / Operation
Prior to first use
CAUTION:
After transport, the appliance should be left standing
upright for four hours before connecting to the power
supply. Nonobservance could lead to malfunction of
the cooling system and causes an appliance break-
down.
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.
• Set the operating conditions. See also the follow-
ing sections.
Settings
The power levels [ MIN – MAX ] control the different
values of the internal temperature.
lowest level,
warmest internal temperature
medium level,
optimal operating temperature
highest level,
coldest internal temperature
*Beware of too high settings, the compressor works con-
tinuously.
Basically, the temperature changes depending on the
ambient temperature (place of installation), the fre-
quency of opening the door and the equipment.
For initial operation, first set the lowest possible in-
ternal temperature (= highest power level) until the
appliance has reached the desired operating tem-
perature. It is recommended to reset to a medium
power level afterwards, then you can easily make
any temperature correction.
Recommendation, for optimized food storage and to
avoid food waste, a medium power level is generally
best. A high power level also increases energy con-
sumption.
To be able to check the cooling performance, you
ideally need a freezing thermometer. Place it in the
appliance.
The ideal freezer temperature is -18°C. A less cold
temperature setting may shorten food durability.
Equipment
Note that the equipment varies depending on the
appliance type.
The various shelves or drawers can be removed for
individual storage. Also practical for cleaning purpos-
es.
