Safety
The safety aspects of our refrigerators/freezers comply with accepted
technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law.
Nevertheless, we consider it our obligation to make you aware of the
following safety information:
Intended use
• The refrigerator is intended for use in the home. It is suitable for
cooling food at low temperature.
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 rea
sons of safety.
• If you use the refrigerator in a commercial application or for purposes other than the cooling of foods, please observe all 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 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.
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
44
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 tempe
ratures. 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.
• Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigerator/freezer
(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 further 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.
>PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g. the pads, which are all free of
chlorofluorocarbon.
The carton parts are made from recycled paper and should be dispo-
sed of at a waste-paper recycling collection location.
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.
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.
Disposal:
• The appliance may not be disposed of with domestic waste or bulky
refuse.
• The refrigerant circuit, especially the heat 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.
46
Remove transport safeguard
The appliance and the interior fittings are protected for transport.
Pull off the adhesive tape on the left and right side of the door.
You can remove any remnants of adhesive using white spirit.
Remove all adhesive tape and packing pieces from the interior of the
appliance.
Installation
Installation Location
The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room.
Energy use and efficient performance of the appliance 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 corre
sponds 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:
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 air
The refrigerating unit of your refrigerator is designed for maintenance-free operation. What it should never lack is good ventilation. Air is
supplied under the door through the ventilation slot between the refrigerator an storage surface. Air is extracted through the upper ventilation grille. Never obstruct these openings by plinth screens or
crockery.
If your refrigerator is installed under a
continuous worktop, an air outlet
opening of at least 200 cm 2 and a
ventilation grille (A/B) matching the
worktop design should be provided at
the rear of the worktop. The cut surfaces of the worktop (C) should be
varnished to avoid swelling due to
penetration of moisture.
The appliance wall distance must be
at least 30 mm and should be checked
before the ventilation grille is inserted.
Special accessories:
A Ventilation grille, brown
B Ventilation grille, white
Detaching the worktop
After the worktop has been removed the appliance can be installed
underneatch a continuous worktop.
The procedure is as follows:
Unscrew the Phillips screws (F) on the
right and the left.
Lift the work-top slightly, push it
about 20 mm towards the rear, and
lift it off upwards (G).
Unscrew the holding bracket (H) and
keep it in a safe place.

Prior to Initial Start–Up
Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial
start-up (see section: “Cleaning and Care”).
Plug socket
The plug socket necessary for connection of your appliance to the
electricity supply should be positioned so that it is possible to pull out
the appliance plug.
If your appliance is installed under a
continuous worktop, the plug socket
should be provided as shown.
A concealed protective contact plug
socket requires 10 A/16 A fusing.
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).

Starting up and temperature regulation
Insert the plug of the connection lead into the plug socket with protective earth contact. When the refrigerator compartment door is
opened, the internal lighting is switched on.
The temperature selector knob is located on the RH side of the refrigerator
compartment.
Setting „0“ means: Off.
Turning clockwise in direction „1“:
Refrigerating unit on, the latter
then operating automatically.
Setting „1“ means:
Hightest temperature, warmest setting.
Setting „6“ (end-stop) means:
Lowest temperature, coldest setting.
At a low ambient temperature of around 16°C, setting „1“ should be
selected. At ambient temperatures of around 25°C, select setting „2“.
If you require a lower temperature, select setting „3“ or „4”.
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 "3" to "4"). At this setting the compressor will be switched on and off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced.

Technical terminology
• Refrigerant
• Refrigerant
Circuit
• Evaporator
• Compressor
• Condenser
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.
Closed circulation system that contains the refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit comprises primarily of
an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser and pipe
work.
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
inner wall and thus not visible.
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 it on to
the 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.
