Safety information
Children and vulnerable people safety
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Keep all packaging well away from children. There is risk of suffocation.
• If you are discarding the appliance pull the plug out of the socket, cut the connection
cable (as close to the appliance as you can) and remove the door to prevent playing
children to suffer electric shock or to close themselves into it.
• If this appliance featuring magnetic door seals is to replace an older appliance having a
spring lock (latch) on the door or lid, be sure to make that spring lock unusable before
you discard the old appliance. This will prevent it from becoming a death trap for a child.
General safety
CAUTION!
Keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction.
• The appliance is intended for keeping foodstuff and/or beverages in a normal household
as explained in this instruction booklet.
• Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process.
• Do not use other electrical appliances (such as ice cream makers) inside of refrigerating
appliances, unless they are approved for this purpose by the manufacturer.
• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
• The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained within the refrigerant circuit of the ap-
pliance, a natural gas with a high level of environmental compatibility, which is nevertheless flammable.
During transportation and installation of the appliance, be certain that none of the
components of the refrigerant circuit become damaged.
If the refrigerant circuit should become damaged:
– avoid open flames and sources of ignition
– thoroughly ventilate the room in which the appliance is situated
• It is dangerous to alter the specifications or modify this product in any way. Any damage
to the cord may cause a short-circuit, fire and/or electric shock.
WARNING!
Any electrical component (power cord, plug, compressor) must be replaced by a certified
service agent or qualified service personnel.

Switching on
1. Plug the mains plug into the mains socket.
2. Press ON/OFF switch.
Switching off
1. Keep ON/OFF switch pressed for more than 5 seconds.
2. The appliance is turned off. The temperature indicator switches off.
Temperature indicator
The temperature indicator shows several information:
• During normal operation, the temperature indicator shows the current temperature inside the freezer (ACTUAL temperature). The ACTUAL temperature is indicated with illuminated numbers.
• During temperature adjusting operation, the temperature indicator shows the freezer
temperature currently set (DESIRED temperature). The DESIRED temperature is indicated
by flashing numbers.

Temperature regulation
To operate the appliance, proceed as follows:
1. Set the required temperature by pressing the corresponding temperature regulator. The
temperature indicator will immediately show the changed setting (DESIRED temperature) and the temperature indicator flashes.
2. Each time the temperature regulator is pressed the DESIRED temperature is adjusted
by 1 °C. The DESIRED temperature must be reached within 24 hours.
3. Once the required temperature has been set, after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) the
temperature indicator will show again the current ACTUAL temperature inside the corresponding compartment. The temperature indicator will change from flashing to continuous illumination.
For a correct storage of the food the following temperature should be set:
• -18 °C in the freezer.
The following DESIRED temperature settings are possible:
Operating mode "Freezing": from -15 °C up to -24 °C in 1 °C steps
Operation mode "Cooling": from 0 °C up to 16 °C in 1 °C steps;
When the setting is changed, the compressor does not start immediately if automatic
defrosting is currently taking place. As the storage temperature within the appliance is
reached quickly you can store food immediately after switching on.
"Freezing" or "Cooling" Function
If necessary, switch over the appliance between the operating modes "Freezing" and "Cooling".
To activate the function, do these steps:
1. Press the FROSTMATIC switch and the temperature regulator (warmest) simultaneously
for 5 seconds.
When the setting is switched from “Freezing” to “Cooling” FC (Freezing - Cooling) appears
in the temperature indicator, an acoustic signal confirms the change and the temperature
indicator changes to flashing figures (DESIRED temperature cooling mode +5 °C). Using
the temperature regulators, the required temperature for the cooling mode can now be
entered.
When the setting is switched from “Cooling” to “Freezing” CF (Cooling - Freezing) appears
in the temperature indicator, an acoustic signal confirms the change and the temperature
indicator changes to flashing figures (DESIRED temperature freezing mode -18 °C). Using
the temperature regulators, the required temperature for the freezing mode can now be
entered.
The operation mode, in which your appliance is at the moment, is identifiable if the temperatures can be set above or below 0 °C.
Set the temperature depending on the selected operation mode (see the section "Temperature regulation ") .
If you are using the appliance as a freezing unit, wait to add the food to be frozen, until
the interior temperature has attained -18 °C.
