The safety aspects of our refrigerators comply with
accepted technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. Nevertheless, we consider it our
obligation to m ake you aware of the following safety
information:
Intended use
•The refrigerator is intended for use in the home. It
is suitable for the cooling and storing of food. If the
appliance is used for purposes other than those
intended or used incorrectly, no liability can be
accepted by the manufacturer for any damage that
may be caused.
•Alterations or changes to the refrigerator are not
permitted for reasons of safety.
•If you use the refrigerator in a commercial application or for purposes other than the cooling of
foods,please observeall valid legal regulations for
your application.
Prior to initial start–up
•Check the refrigerator for transport damage.
Under no circumstance should a damaged appliance be plugged in! In the event of damage,
please contact the vendor.
Refrigerant
The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained within
the refrigerant circuit of the appliance, 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 re frigerant 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.
Safety of children
•Packaging (e.g. wraps, polystyrene) can be dangerous for children. There is a risk of suffocation!
Keep packaging material away from children!
•Please make old appliances unusable prior to disposal. Pull out the mains plug, cut off the mains
cable, break or remove spring or bolt catches, if fitted. By doing this you ensure that children cannot
lock themselves in the fridge when playing (there
is risk of suffocation!) or get themselves into other
dangerous situations.
•Often children cannot recognise the hazards
present in household appliances. It is therefore
important that you ensure adequate supervision
and never let children play with the appliance!
Daily Operation
•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.
•Do not operate any electrical appliances in the
refrigerator (e.g. electric ice cream makers, mixers
etc.).
•Before cleaning the appliance, always switch off
the appliance and unplug it, or pull the house fuse
or switch off the circuit breaker.
•When unplugging always pull the plug from the
mains socket, do not pull on the cable.
In case of malfunction
•If the a malfunction occurs on the appliance,
please look first in the "What to do if ..." section of
these instructions. If the information given there
does not help, please do not perform any f urther
repairs yourself.
•Refrigerators/freezers may only be repaired by
qualified service engineers. Improper repairs can
give rise to significant hazards. If your appliance
needs repairing, please contact your specialist
dealer or our Customer Service.

Disposal
Appliance Packaging Information
All materials are environmentally sound! They can be
dumped or burned at an incinerating plant without
danger!
About the materials: The plastics can be recycled and
are identified as follows:
>PE< for polyethylene, e.g. the outer covering and
the bags in the interior.
Disposal of old Appliances
For environmental reasons, refrigeration appliances
must be disposed of properly. This applies to your old
appliance, and - at the end of its service life - for your
new appliance as well.
1
Warning!Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable. Remove plug
from mains, sever the power cable, remove
or destroy any snap or latch closures. This
eliminates the danger that playing children
lock themselves into the appliance (danger of
suffocation!) or place themselves into other
life-endangering situations.
>PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g. t he pads, which are
all free of chlorofluorocarbon.
The carton parts are made from recycled paper and
should be disposed of at a waste-paper recycling collection location.
Disposal:
•The appliance may not be disposed of with
domestic waste or bulky refuse.
•Therefrigerantcircuit, especially theheat
exchanger at the back of the appliance, may not
be damaged.
•Information concerning collection schedules or
locations can be obtained from the local disposal
authorities or town hall.
Remove transport safeguard
The appliance and the interior fittings are protected
for transport.
3. Remove all adhesive tape and packing pieces
from the interior of the appliance.

You can remove any remnants of adhesive
using white spirit.
21
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 classi-
fication, 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:
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 freezer a clearance of 5 cm at
the sides is required, in order to prevent the formation
of condensation on the outside of the appliance.

Your refrigerator needs ventilation
The integrated door of the furniture cabinet largely
seals the installation recess. i-appliances must therefore be provided with ventilation by having an opening
in the furniture plinth. The warmed air must be able to
be exhausted upwards through the air shaft on the
furniture back. The ventilation cross-sections should
be at least 200 cm
Important note! In order not to impair the function of
the applia nce, never cover or obstruct the ventilation
openings.

Installation
See chapter „Installation Instructions“.
Please check whether, after installing your appliance
and especially after rehingeing the door, the door
seal seals right round. An untight door seal may lead
to heavy frosting and thereby to a higher power consumption (see also „What to do if...“).

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 ratingofatleast10Amps.
Appliance Description
View of Appliance
(various models)
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.

Starting up - Setting the temperature
The temperature regulator is in the refrigerator compartment on the upper right. It is also the ON/OFFswitch.

Position "0" = Refrigeration off
Position "1" = Warmest interior temperature
Position "6" = Coldest interior temperature
1. Plug the mains plug into the mains socket. When
the door is opened the interior lighting comes on.
2. Set the required temperature by turning the tem-
perature regulator.
The compressor starts and then runs automatically.
3. If you want a higher or lower temperature, turn the
temperature regulator to a warmer or cooler setting respectively.
Note: When the setting is changed, the compressor
does not start immediately if automatic defrosting is
currently taking place.

The following effects are of significance in respect of
the interior temperature:
Goods to be refrigerated can be loaded
immediately after switching on, because the
storage temperature in the refrigerator is
quickly reached.
Note: From a food science point of view,
+5 °C for the refrigerator compartment
should be considered cold enough as a storage temperature.
– Ambient temperature;
– Quantity and temperature of the food stored;
– Frequency with which the door is opened and
how long it is left open
– A defect in the appliance.
The temperature regulator setting may therefore
need to be adjusted to suit the specific conditions.
Note: At the setting given under „recommendet set-
tings“ the fridge has an average temperature of
approx. +5 °C. These figures apply at ambient temperatures from +10 °Cto+38°C.
Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer
days) and a cold setting on the temperature regulator
(position"5" to "6") can cause the compressor to run
continuously.
Reason: when the ambient temperature is high, the
compressor must run continuously to maintain the
low temperature in the appliance. The fridge will not
be able to defrost since automatic defrosting of the
fridge is only possible when the compressor is not
running (see also "Defrosting" section). The result is
the build up of a thick layer of frost on the fridge rear
wall.
If this happens, turn the temperature regulator back
to a warmer setting (position "4" to "5"). At this setting
the compressor will be switched on and off as usual
and automatic defrosting recommenced.
Temperature Controller
Position
Switching off the appliance
1. To switch off the appliance, turn the temperature
regulator to position "0".
If the appliance is not going to be used
for an extended period:
1. Switch off the appliance by turning the tempera-
ture regulator to position "0".
2. Remove the mains plug or switch off or turn out
the circuit breaker or fuse.
24
3. Clean thoroughly (see section: “Cleaning and
Maintenance”).
4. Leave the door open to avoid the build up of
odours.
Interior Accessories
Storage Shelves
Your appliance is equipped with glass storage
shelves.
A glass storage shelf must be inserted into the lower
guide track above the fruit and vegetable trays. It
must always remain in this position, so that fr uits and
vegetable remain fresh longer.
The remaining storage shelves can be adjusted to
various heights:
1. Pull the storage shelf forward until it can be tipped
up or down and removed.
2. To insert at a different height use the same procedure in reverse.
Adjustment for tall goods:
1. Remove the front half of the two-part vario glass
storage shelf and insert it at a different level.
Space is thus gained for storage of tall goo ds on
the underlying storage shelf.
Moisture regulation
(not included with all models)
On some models, there is an adjustable air grille in
front of the shelf above the fruit and vegetable compartments.
The opening in the ventilation slots can be steplessly
adjusted with a slider.
Slider in r i ght position: Ventilation slots opened.
Slider in left position: Ventilation slots closed.
With the ventilation slots open, the stronger air circulation results in a lower air moisture content in the
fruit and vegetable compartments.
When the ventilation slots are closed, the natural
moisture content of the food in the fruit and vegetable
compartments is preser ved for longer.
Variable Inner Door
The door compartments can be pulled up and
removed, and inser ted at other positions as needed.
25
Correct Storage
For physical reasons, there are different temperature
regions in the fridge. The coldest region is on the lowest storage shelf. Warmer regions are the top storage
shelf, the vegetable basket and the storage compartments on the do or. The arrangement example shows
at which places in the refrigerator suitable temperatures for various types of foods exist.
Tip: Food in the fridge should always be covered or
packaged, to prevent drying and tainting of other
food.
The following are suited for packaging:
– Polyethylene airtight bags and wraps;
– Plastic containers with lids;
– Special plastic covers with elastic;
– aluminium foil.
Defrosting
The fridge defrosts automatically
The rear wall of the fridge covers with frost when the
compressor is running, and defrosts when the compressor is off.
The water from the thawing frost is collected in the
drain channel on the rear of the fridge, feed through
the drain hole into the collector on the compressor,
and then evaporated.
The water drainage hole must be cleaned regularly
(see the section "Cleaning and Maintenance".
26
Cleaning and Maintenance

drainage hole.
6. After everything is dry place appliance back into
service.
2 Energy Saving Tips
•Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources of warmth. High ambient
temperatures cause longer, more frequent operation of the compressor.
•Ensure sufficient air circulation and exhaust at the
appliance base and at the back wall of the appliance. Never cover air vent openings.
•Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow
warm foods to cool first.
•Only leave door open as long as necessary.
•Do not set temperature any colder than neces-
sary.

Technical Terminology
•Refrigerant
Liquids that can be used to a generate a cooling
effect are known as refrigerants. They have a relatively low boiling-point, indeed so low, that the
warmth from the food stored in the fridge or
freezer can cause the refrigerant to boil and
vaporise.
•Refrigerant Circuit
Closed circulation system that contains the refrigerant. T he refrigerant circuit comprises primarily
of an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser and
pipe work.
•Evaporator
The refrigerant is evaporated in the evaporator.
Similar to all other liquids, refrigerant requires
heat to evaporate. This heat is removed from the
interior of the appliance, as a result the interior is
cooled. The evaporator is therefore located inside
the appliance or placed in foam immediately
behind the i nner wall and thus not visible.
Customer Service
•Compressor
The compressor looks like a small drum. It is
driven by a built-in electric motor and is mounted
on the base of the appliance at the rear. The task
of the compressor is to draw in vaporised refrigerant from the evaporator, to compress it, and to
pass i t on to the condenser.
•Condenser
The condenser normally has the form of a grid.
The refrigerant compressed in the compressor is
liquefied in the condenser. During this process,
heat is released to the surrounding air at the surface of the condenser. The condenser is mounted
on the base of the appliance.
If you cannot find the remedy for a m alfunction in
