Starting up and temperature regulation
Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to starting the appliance. Plug in the appliance at the mains supply.
• 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.
The exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside the refrigerator depends on:
-the quantity of food stored
-how often the door is opened
The temperatures in the refrigerator compartment and freezer compartment cannot be independently regulated.
If you want to freeze fresh food rapidly , select setting “6”, ensuring that
the temperature in the refrigerator compartment does not drop below
0°C. You should also promptly reset the temperature regulator to 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.
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.
Interior Accessories
Storage shelves
• You should always slide one of the full size glass storage shelves
into the lowest set of guides, above the fruit and vegetable containers, and keep it in this position.
• The height of the storage shelves can be adjusted:
• To do this pull the storage shelf forward until it can be swivelled
upwards or downwards and removed.
7
Page 8
• Please do the same in reverse to insert the shelf at a different height. Slide the front
half of the V ario storage shelf
in another level to the rear.
By this means you will gain
space to place tall items on
the storage shelf below.
Adjusting the upper door rack
• Depending on the food stored, the upper door racks
can be changed to other holders or removed. Take out
the refrigerators food, press
the door racks diagonally
upwards at their edges,
reposition them, and press
them back into place.
D006
Correct positioning
of foods
For physical reasons, different
temperature zones are formed
inside the refrigerator compartment. The coldest zone is on
the bottom shelf, just above
the fruit and vegetable containers. The warmest zones are
the top shelves and the door
shelves. The following diagram
shows the most suitable places to store different types of
food.
8
Page 9
Advice:
Cover or wrap all food before placing it in the refrigerator compartment. This will prevent it from drying out or transmitting smells to other
stored foods.
The following materials are suitable:
- plastic bags or food wrap
- plastic containers with lids;
- special, elasticised
- plastic covers;
- aluminium foil.
Freezing and storing frozen food
You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself.
Important!
• The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18 °C or colder before freezing food.
• Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The
freezing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be
frozen within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food several
days in a row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4
of that on the rating plate. The quality of the food is best preserved
when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.
• Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
• Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufacturer.
• Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into
meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
• 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/freezer.
• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst when
the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even explode!
Never store lemonade, juices, beer , wine, sparkling wine etc. in the freezer .
• All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do
not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods occurs.
9
Page 10
Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could
freeze to the food.
1.To freeze fresh food rapidly, select thermostat setting 6, ensuring the
temperature in the refrigerator compartment does not drop below 0°C.
You should promptly reset the temperature regulator to setting “3” or
“4”.
2.Place the food to be frozen in the bottom drawer.
3.Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
Preparation of Ice Cubes
1. Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer
compartment and leave to freeze.
2.To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend the ice cube tray or hold it
under running water for a few seconds.
Important! Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer
compartment using pointed or sharp edged objects. Use the ice scraper supplied.
Defrosting
10
Refrigerator
The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water drains out through a
trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the
motor compressor, where it evaporates.
Freezer
Defrosting of appliances fitted with a no-frost system is automatic.
Humidity causes a layer of frost to form on the evaporator, located
outside the freezer compartment, which is defrosted automatically.
The defrost water is collected in the basin above the compressor from
which it evaporates. In this way, the freezer compartment remains ice
and frost free.
Page 11
Switching off the appliance
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.Remove all refrigerated and deep-frozen packages as well as ice
trays.
2.Switch off the appliance by turning the temperature regulator to position "0".
3.Remove the mains plug or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or
fuse.
4.Leave the door open to avoid the build up of odours.
Cleaning and Care
For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly.
Warning!
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance, disconnect the
appliance from the electricity supply.
• Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could
accumulate in electrical components, danger of electrical shock!
Hot vapours can lead to the damage of plastic parts.
• The appliance must be dry before it is placed back into service.
Warning!
• Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g.
– lemon juice or the juice from orange peel,
– butyric acid;
– cleansers which contain acetic acid.
Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance parts.
• Do not use any abrasive cleansers.
1.Remove frozen food and the food from the refrigerator. Wrap frozen food
in several layers of newspaper. Store it in a cool place, well covered.
11
Page 12
2.Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.

water and rub dry.
5.Check the water drain hole on
the rear wall of the fridge. Clear
a blocked drain hole with the
aid of the drain cleaning tool
included with the appliance.
6.After everything is dry place appliance back into service.
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.
• Put frozen food in the fridge to defrost. The cold in the frozen food
will then be used to cool the fridge.
Accumulation of dust at the condenser increases energy consumption. For this reason carefully clean the condenser at the back of the
appliance once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. Ensur
the appliance is switched off.
