Safety information
• The manufacturer declines all responsibility for dama-
ges caused by improper use of the product or by use
for purposes other than those set forth in the instructions for use.
• Temperatures may drop below zero if the regulator is
set too high. Caution: bottles may explode.
• Plastic parts can be corroded by aggressive substan-
ces such as, for example, citrus fruit juice, foods containing vinegar and fatty acids or edible oils.
• Do not store flammable liquids or gases in the applian-
ce. Danger of explosion!
• Do not store bottles containing liquids in the freezer
compartment except for high-proof liquors. In particular,
do not put carbonated beverages inside.
• Do not touch frozen products with wet hands (wear
gloves)! Do not eat ice lollies that have just been taken
out of the frozen compartment. There is a risk of frostbite and blistering due to the cold. FIRST AID Put the
mouth immediately beneath cold running water. Do not
try to remove the frozen product!
FIRST AID : Put the mouth immediately beneath cold running water. Do not try to remove the frozen product!

Use
Energy savings tips:
• The room temperature affects the appliance's consumption of electric current.
Therefore, avoid placing it near sources of heat or in
direct rays of sunlight.
If possible, choose a place that has a room temperature below the climate class indicated.
• Make sure there is sufficient ventilation.Do not cover
the ventilation slits.
• Do not cover the ventilation slits.
• Do not set a temperature lower than necessary.
Control screen
• Let hot food products cool to room temperature before
placing them in the refrigerator.
• Put liquids inside covered containers only.
• Avoid keeping the refrigerator open unless it is necessary.
• Clean the condensate regularly (see Defrosting and
Cleaning).
• Too thick a layer of frost causes needless consumption
of electric current. Small deposits of frost can be removed from time to time with a plastic scraper.

Using the refrigerator compartment
Starting the appliance
• Plug it into the socket.
• Press the EIN/AUS (B) (ON/OFF) button. The mains
operation indicator (A) lights up.
• Press one of the .+. (C) or .-. (E) buttons. The tempera-
ture indicator goes into operation and indicates the set
nominal temperature.
If the regulator is set at a higher level, wait about 4 hours
before loading the appliance.
The right temperature for loading food products to be cooled is +5°C.
F - SUPERFROST indicator
G - SUPERFROST button
H - SUPERCOOL indicator
I - SUPERCOOL button
Temperature adjustment
• By pressing one of the .+. (C) or .-. (E) buttons it is possible to switch from the actual temperature (the temperature indicator is lit and remains stationary) to the
nominal temperature (the temperature indicator blinks).
• By continuing to press one of the buttons, the nominal
temperature changes 1°C.
• If no button is pressed, the temperature indicator automatically returns to the actual temperature after about
5 seconds.
15
Use
Temperature indicator
The temperature indicator gives a variety of information.
• During normal operation, it shows the temperature insi-
de the refrigerator compartment. (actual temperature).
• When setting the temperature, the temperature set for
the refrigerator compartment (nominal temperature) at
that moment blinks.
Caution: as many as 24 hours may be required before the
temperature indicator shows the actual temperature.
SUPERCOOL function
The SUPERCOOL function speeds up the cooling of fresh
food products while at the same time protecting those
already stored from undesirable heating. A nominal temperature of +2°C is automatically pre-set.
• The function turns on by pressing the SUPERCOOL
button (I). The yellow indicator (H) lights up.
• It is possible to stop this function at any time by pres-
sing the SUPERCOOL button once again. The yellow
indicator turns off.
• If the SUPERCOOL function does not stop manually, it
is automatically cut off electronically after about 6
hours.
The SUPERCOOL function is deactivated if the electric current is cut off!
Refrigerator compartment equipment
Inner door
The shelves of the inner door can be removed to be
moved or cleaned.
Shelves
Temperature
There are different temperature zones in the refrigerator
compartment. The warmest zone is at the top, and the coldest zone is above the cover of the vegetable bins.
The internal temperature is influenced by the following
factors:
• Room temperature
• How often the door is opened
• Amount of food products stored
• Appliance setting
Switching off the appliance
To switch off the appliance, keep the EIN/AUS (ON/OFF)
button pressed until the temperature indicator turns off.
The selected temperature setting is stored, even if the
electric current is cut off.
The distance between shelves can be altered as one likes.
To remove the shelves, lift from the bottom and pull
forward until they move upwards or downwards and can
be pulled out. Put the shelves back in the desired position.
Bottle holder
The bottle holder clipped onto a shelf is used for storing
bottles and cans. To remove the bottle holder, lift the glass
shelf below and gently remove it.
Then remove the bottle holder and put the glass shelf
back in.
16
Use
Air humidity regulator
There is an adjustable ventilation grid in front of the support surface found above the fruit and vegetable bins.
The opening of the ventilation slits can be continuously
adjusted.
Right regulator: ventilation slits open.
Left regulator: ventilation slits closed.
When the ventilation slits are open, less air humidity forms
in the fruit and vegetable bins because more air circulates.
Using the freezer compartment
Important!
Do not open the refrigerator if the electric current is cut off!
Foods do not spoil if the appliance is full and the cutoff
lasts a short time (see further information under
“Preservation time in case of failure” in the catalogue or
advertising material). If the power cutoff continues, eat the
thawed foods within a short time. Preservation time drops
when the temperature of the frozen foods increases.
Starting the appliance
See “Starting the refrigerator compartment”
Temperature adjustment
To set the temperature, use the relevant buttons for both
the refrigerator and freezer compartments. See “Using the
refrigerator compartment”
The right temperature for frozen foods and those to be frozen is -18°C.
SUPERFROST function
When the ventilation slits are closed, the natural content of
humidity of the food products in the fruit and vegetable
bins is kept longer.
Storing foods
Make sure that cold air can circulate when storing foods.
The products to be cooled must never be direct contact
with the rear wall inside the refrigerator compartment.
They can freeze and partially remain stuck to the wall
when removed, thus preventing the dew from flowing
regularly.
Place foods such as cheese, cold cuts, fruit, vegetables,
previously cooked foods and prepared salads inside containers and cover them. In this way their natural freshness
and aroma will be maintained.
Foods must be stored according to the various temperature zones.
Butter, cheese
- in the inner door inside the butter dish and cheese holder.
Eggs
- in the inner door
Fruit, vegetables, lettuce
- in the vegetable bins
Cold cuts, meat
- in the bottom zone (first shelf or covering above the
vegetable bin)
Dairy products, preserves, jars
- in the top zone or in the inner door
Bottles / tubes
- in the inner door
The SUPERFROST function speeds up the freezing of
fresh food products while at the same time protecting
those already
inside the compartment from undesirable heating.
- The function turns on by pressing the SUPERFROST
button
(G). The yellow indicator (F) lights up.
- It is possible to manually stop this function at any time
by pressing the SUPERFROST button once again. The
yellow indicator turns off.
- If the SUPERFROST function does not stop manually,
it is automatically cut off electronically after about 24
hours. The yellow indicator turns off.
The SUPERFROST function is deactivated if the electric current is cut off!
