If installation next to a source of heat is unavoidable, the following minimum clearances must be maintained at the sides of the appliance:
– for electric cookers 3 cm;
– for oil and coal fired ranges 30 cm.
If these clearances cannot be maintained a heat insulating pad is required
between the cooker and the refrigeration appliance.
If the refrigeration appliance is installed next to another refrigerator or free-
zer a clearance of 5 cm at the sides is required, in order to prevent the formation of condensation on the outside of the appliance.
Installation
Installation Location
The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room.
Energy use is affected by the ambient temperature. The appliance should
therefore
– not be exposed to direct sunlight;
– not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat;
– only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature corresponds to
the climate classification, for which the appliance is designed.
The climate classification can be found on the serial plate, which is located
at the left on the inside of the appliance.
The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each
climate classification: each climate classification:

holes left open with the plugs
contained in the documentation
pack.
Attention:
After having reversed the opening direction of the doors check
that all the screws are
properly tightened and that the magnetic seal adheres to the cabinet. If the
ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the gasket may not fit perfectly to the cabinet. in that case, wait for the natural fitting of the gasket or
accelerate this process by heating up the part involved with a normal hairdrier.
Electrical connection
Before initial start-up, refer to the appliance rating plate to ascertain if supply voltage and current values correspond with those of the mains at the
installation location.
e.g.: AC 220 ... 240 V 50 Hz or
220 ... 240 V~ 50 Hz
(i.e. 220 to 240 volts alternating current, 50 Hertz)
The rating plate is inside the appliance on the left.
A correctly installed, earthed socket is required for the electrical supply. The
supply must have a fuse rating of at least 10 Amps.

2. Press the fast freeze button 24 hours before introducing fresh food for freezing of fresh food. The yellow light comes on.
3. Place frozen foods in the drawers sorted by type, as far as possible.
Preparation of Ice Cubes
1. Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer compartment and leave to freeze.
2. To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend the ice cube tray or hold it under
running water for a few seconds.
Important! Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer compartment using pointed or sharp edged objects. Use the ice scraper supplied.
Ice pack
There are two ice packs in one drawer of the freezer.
In the event of a power failure or malfunction, the ice packs will lengthen
the amount of time it takes for the frozen food to become too warm by
several hours. The ice packs can only fulfil this task optimally if it is placed
in the uppermost drawer, at the front, above the frozen food. You can use
the ice packs for cooling cold bags.
Defrosting
Freezer
The inner walls of the freezer are automatically defrosted.
29
If the socket is not accessible once the appliance is built in, the electrical
installation must include suitable means of isolating the appliance from the
mains (e.g. fuse, cut-out, current trip or similar with a minimum contact
separation of 3 mm).
Attention: The mains connection cable may only be replaced by a skilled
electrician. Please contact your dealer or our customer service department
for repairs.
Prior to Initial Start–Up
• Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial startup (see section: “Cleaning and Care”).

Freezing and storing frozen food
You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself.
Important!
• The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18 °C or colder
before freezing food.
• Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The
freezing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be
frozen within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food several
days in a row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4
of that on the rating plate. The quality of the food is best preserved
when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.
• Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause
increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
• Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufacturer.
• Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals)
may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
• Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures.
There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flammable materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.
• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst when
the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even explode!
Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc. in the freezer. Exception: high alcohol content spirits can be stored in the freezer.
• All foods must be packed air tight
prior to freezing, so that they do
not dry out or lose their flavour,
and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods occurs.
Caution! Do not touch frozen food
with wet hands. Your hands could

Temperature setting buttons
The temperature is adjusted using the „C“ and „E“ buttons. These buttons are
connected to the temperature display.
• The temperature display is switched over from the display of the ACTUAL
temperature (Temperature display is illuminated) to the display of the DESIRED temperature (Temperature display flashes) by pressing one of the two
buttons, „C“ or „E“.
• Each time one of the two buttons is pressed again the DESIRED temperature is adjusted by 1 °C. The DESIRED temperature must be reached within 24
hours.
If neither button is pressed, the temperature display automatically switches
back after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) to the display of the ACTUAL temperature.
DESIRED temperature means:
The temperature that has been selected for inside the freezer. The DESIRED
temperature is indicated by flashing numbers.
ACTUAL temperature means:
The temperature display indicates the current temperature inside the freezer.
The ACTUAL temperature is indicated with illuminated numbers.
Temperature display
The temperature display can indicate several pieces of information.
• During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the freezer
(ACTUAL temperature) is displayed.
• When the temperature is being adjusted a flashing display indicates the
freezer temperature currently set (DESIRED temperature).

From a food safety point of view -18 °C should be considered sufficiently
cold for storing food in the freezer.
FROSTMATIC
The FROSTMATIC function accelerates the freezing of fresh food and, at
the same time, protects foodstuffs already stored from undesirable warming.
1. The FROSTMATIC function is switched on by pressing the FROSTMATIC
button. The yellow light illuminates.
If the FROSTMATIC function is not ended manually, the appliance electronics switch off the FROSTMATIC function after 52 hours. The yellow light
goes out.
2. The FROSTMATIC function can be ended manually at any time by pressing
the FROSTMATIC button again. The yellow light goes out.
Alarm OFF button
In the event of an abnormal temperature rise inside the freezer (e.g. power
cut) warning light (H) will start to flash and a buzzer will sound.
After the temperature has returned to normal, the warning light (H) will
continue to flash, although the buzzer has stopped.
When the alarm button is pressed, the warmest temperature reached in
the compartment flashes on the indicator.(max. 5 seconds).
To stop the buzzer push the button “I”.
Switching the Appliance off
To switch off, hold down the ON/OFF button for approx. 3 seconds. This
will result in a countdown from "3" to "1" taking place in the temperature display. On reaching "1" the fridge will switch off. The temperature
display will go off.
Note: The appliance cannot be switched on or off if unplugged, or if there is no power being supplied to it. Following connection to the mains
power supply, the appliance returns to the same operating state as before
the interruption of main power.
If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period:
1. Switch off the appliance, holding down the ON/OFF button until the
display goes off (see above).
2. Remove the mains plug or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or
fuse.
