1 Safety Instructions
The safety of our refrigerators/freezers is in accordance with recognised
technological standards and appliance safety legislation. We
nevertheless feel that it is important to acquaint you with the following
safety guidelines:
Use for Intended Purpose
• The refrigeration appliance is intended for use at home. Depending
on the preset operation mode, this appliance becomes suitable for
freezing, for deep-cooled storage, for ice preparation or for cooling
foodstuffs. If the appliance is misused or wrongly operated, no
liability for eventual damages can be assumed by the manufacturer.
• Alterations or changes to the freezer are not permitted for reasons of
safety.
• If you should use this refrigeration appliance for commercial or for
another purpose apart from freezing, deep-cooling storage or for
cooling foodstuffs, please observe the legal provisions valid for your
area.
Prior to initial start-up
• Check the refrigerator/freezer for transport damage. Do not under
any circumstances connect a damaged appliance! Please contact your
supplier in the event of damage.
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 for Children
• Packaging materials (e.g. films, styrofoam) can be dangerous for
children. Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging materials away from
children!
• Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable. Remove
plug from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any snap
43
Safety Instructions
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.
• Children often do not recognise the dangers involved with household
appliances. Please provide for the necessary supervision and do not
allow children to play with the appliance!
Daily Operation
• Containers with flammable gases or fluids can develop leaks through
contact with the cold. Danger of explosion! Do not store containers
with flammable substances, such as aerosol cans, refill cartridges for
cigarette lighters etc. in the refrigerator/freezer.
• Bottles and cans may not be placed in the freezer compartment. They
can burst when the contents freeze - or even explode if the contents
contain carbonic acid! Never place sodas, juices, beer, wine,
champagne etc. into the freezer compartment. Exception: Spirits with
high alcohol content may be stored in the freezer compartment.
• Do not place ice cream or ice cubes directly from the freezer
compartment into the mouth. Very cold ice can freeze to the lips or
tongue and cause injury.
• Never touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the
goods.
• Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigerator/freezer
(e.g. electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.).
• Before cleaning the appliance switch off and remove the plug from
the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.
• Placing frozen goods on the top of the appliance can lead to the
accumulation of condensate in the cavity of the storage tray through
contact with the cold. Electronic components are housed within this
cavity. If condensate should drip onto these components, the
appliance could be damaged by a short circuit. For this reason do not
place frozen goods on top of the appliance.
• When unplugging always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not
pull on the cable.
44
In case of malfunction
• If a malfunction should occur at the appliance, refer first to the
section "What to do if ..." in these operating instruction. If the
instructions in this section are not sufficient, do not undertake any
further work on your own.
• Refrigerators/feezers may only be repaired by trained personnel.
Repairs carried out by untrained personnel can lead to substantial
danger. Please contact your dealer or our customer service
department for repairs.
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 disposed
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.
1
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.
45
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 necessary.
• Place frozen goods into the refrigerator for thawing. Cold from
frozen goods is thus used for cooling in the refrigerator.
• Always keep the condenser at the back of the appliance clean.
• If the interior of the appliance should be used partly, the economy
freezing space divider (special accessory) can be inserted instead of a
freezing tray. This enables additional energy saving.
The most important characteristic
of your appliance
• The appliance allows being used as a freezing unit or as a refrigerator
depending on requirement. For this purpose, the operation mode
"Freezing" or the operation mode "Cooling" can be selected on the
appliance.
– In the operation mode "Freezing", the appliance is usable for
freezing and deep-temperature storage with temperatures from
-15 °C up to -24 °C.
– In the operation mode "Cooling", this appliance can be operated as
a "long fresh" cooling unit with temperatures from 0 °C or +2 °C,
whereby a dry interior room climate is attained through the nofrost-technology. The appliance is suitable in the adjustable
temperature range of up to +16 °C, but also as a reservoir and
drinks cooler. Naturally, it is also usable as a "normal" refrigerator
for the temperature range of about +5 °C.
46
The most important characteristic of your
• FAST CHILL/FAST FREEZE can be selected depending on purpose and
need.
– The FAST CHILL function is suitable for fast cooling larger
quantities in the cooling room, e.g. for drinks or salads during a
party.
Thereby, a SET temperature of +2 °C is automatically preset. After
6 hours have expired, the FAST CHILL function is terminated
automatically.
– The FAST FREEZE function caters for quick freezing of fresh
foodstuffs and protects at the same time the already stored
foodstuff against undesired temperature increase in the freezing
room. The electronics of the appliance recognises automatically,
when the quick freezing mode can be completed, and automatically
switches off the FAST FREEZE function.(Depending upon the
quantity to be frozen after 30 up to maximum 51 hours).
• The no-frost-system enables both the freezing of fresh foodstuff as
well as the storage of readily frozen or cooled foodstuff by cold air. A
vaporiser cools the air in the interior space of the appliance, which is
circulated and uniformly distributed by a ventilator. This uniformly
circulating air-flow caters for a dry climate, low temperature
fluctuations and low temperature differences in the entire
appliance’s interior room. The moisture in the air condenses as frost
on the vaporiser. The vaporiser thaws full-automatically, as soon as
this is necessary. The melted water is drained off outside to the
compressor and evaporates through the heat generated by the latter.
Thus, the interior of the appliance and the stored cooled or frozen
foodstuffs always remain ripe and ice-free. Manual thawing is
dispensed of.

The berries are not squeezed and maintain their natural form. The
frozen berries can then be stored in compartments or drawers packaged
in individual portions.
The freezing tray also serves for accommodating small frozen foodstuffs (e.g. herbal produce), furthermore you can accommodate ice
cube shells.
Quick door-opener
The quick door-opener enables
easy opening through its
integrated opening mechanism.
Please observe that both tappets
(A) always interlock in the fold
of door seal, according to the
figure.
Interior Illumination
The illumination switches on automatically when the appliance door is
opened. By closing the appliance door it is automatically switched off.
If the appliance door remains open for more than 5 minutes, the
3
interior illumination starts to blink and then switches off automatically
in order to save energy.
If directly after opening the door the interior illumination is not
glowing although the appliance is in operation (recognisable through
the green mains control indicator), the lamp is defective. Exchanging
procedure is described in the "Replace light bulb" chapter.
