7.2 Operating tips
¡ Once you have switched on the
appliance, the set temperature is
only reached after several hours.
Do not put any food in the appli-
ance until the set temperature has
been reached.
¡ The front and side panels of
thehousing heat up occasionally.
This prevents condensation from
forming.
¡ When you close the door, a va-
cuum may be created. The door is
then difficult to open again. Wait a
moment until the vacuum is offset.
¡ The temperature in the appliance
varies due to the following condi-
tions:
– How often the appliance is
opened
– Load capacity
– Temperature of newly stored
food
– Ambient temperature
– Direct sunlight
