Operating tips
When the appliance has been switched on, it may
■
take several hours until the set temperatures have
been reached. Do not put in any food until the
selected temperature has been reached.
The fully automatic NoFrost system ensures that
■
the freezer compartment remains free of ice.
Defrosting is not required.
The front sides of the housing are partly heated
■
slightly. This prevents condensation in the area
of the door seal.
If the freezer compartment door cannot be
■
immediately re-opened after it has been closed,
wait until the resulting low pressure has
equalized.
