tips
• High ambient temperatures have a negative effect on energy
use. Keep the larder in a position away from direct sunlight or
other sources of heat.
• Keep ventilation openings free. Clogged openings lead to
higher use of energy.
• Try not to open the door too often, especially when the
weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door, mind to
close it as soon as possible.
• The space between the shelves and the rear wall of the larder
compartment must be unobstructed to allow the cool air to
circulate. Therefore don't place any food items against the
back.
• Turn the thermostat to a lower setting when the
circumstances allow it.
• Before storing fresh cooked food, make sure the food has
cooled at least to room temperature.
• If the gasket is damaged or if it turns out that the sealing is
poor, the energy consumption is substantially higher. To
restore efficiency, replace the gasket.
• Keep the condensor on the rear wall always clean, free of
dust or any impurities.
• Always consider the instructions, otherwise the
energyconsumption is substantially higher.

cleaning & maintenance
Before cleaning the larder always unplug the appliance. Clean
the interior of the appliance. Use warm water and a neutral
detergent to prevent any bad smells occurring. After cleaning,
rinse the interior with clean water and rub dry. Leave the
appliance to dry for 1 to 2 hours. Simply remove the shelves,
drawer and door compartments to clean them by hand. Do not
clean the interior accessories in the dishwasher.
Clean the outside of the larder and the gasket with a soft moist
cloth.
We recommend that you dus the back of the appliance with a
cloth or vacuum cleaner once a year in order to maintain a good
output and low energy consumption.
Defrosting of the larder compartment is completely
automatic.
Droplets of water on the rear wall of the larder compartment
indicate that the periodic automatic defrost cycle is in progress.
The defrost water is automatically routed to a drain outlet and
into a container from which it evaporates.
REPLACING THE BULB
When replacing the bulb, proceed as follows:
• Unplug the appliance from the mains.
• Remove the lamp cover by unscrewing the screw and pull the
lamp cover towards you.
• First check if the bulb is fully screwed in.
• If the bulb is defective, replace it with a bulb of the same
type: maximum 10 Watt, socket E14. This kind is widely
available.
• Replace the cover and the screw.
• Plug the appliance back into the mains.
