Safety
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 refrigerator/freezer is intended for household use. It is suited for
the refrigeration, freezing and frozen storage of foods as well as the
preparation of ice. If the appliance is used for purposes other than
those intendet or used incorrectly, no liability can be accepted by the
manufacturer for any damage that may be caused.
• Alterations or changes to the refrigerator/freezer are not permitted for
reasons of safety.
• If you use the refrigerator/freezer in a commercial application or for
purposes other than the refrigeration, freezing or frozen storage of
foods, please observe all valid legal regulations for your application.
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 R134a is contained within the refrigerant circuit of the
appliance.
• During transportation and installation of the appliance, be certain that
none of the components of the refrigerant circuit become damaged.
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 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!
33
Safety
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.
• When unplugging always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not
pull on the cable.
34
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.
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!
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.
Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable.
Appliance Transport
Two persons are required for transport of the appliance.
In order to push the appliance into its final position, press carefully at
0
the top of the upper door and tip the appliance back slightly. The
weight is then transferred to the back wheels and the appliance can be
easily pushed.

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 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:
36
Climate classification for an ambient temperature of
SN +10 to +32 °C
N +16 to +32 °C
ST +18 to +38 °C
T +18 to +43 °C
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.
The refrigerator/freezer needs air
Air is fed under the door through
the vent slots in the base and is
exhausted upwards along the
back wall. To ensure proper air circulation never cover or alter the
vent openings.
If the appliance is
Attention!
installed under, for example, a
hanging cabinet, a clearance of at
least 5 cm between the top of the
appliance and the cabinet above it
must be maintained.
Appliance Alignment
The appliance must have a solid, level footing. Please compensate for
0
unevenness in the floor by turning the two adjustable feet at the front
in or out.
Installation
Electrical Connection
A properly installed socket outlet with earthing contact is required for
electrical connection. Electrical fuse protection must be of at least 10
ampere.
If the outlet socket is no longer accessible after installation of the
appliance, appropriate measures must be taken during electrical installation to assure that the appliance can be disconnected from the mains
(e.g. fuse, circuit breaker, non-operate current safety-switch or the like,
with a contact opening of at least 3 mm).
Before initial start-up, refer to the appliance serial plate to ascertain if
0
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 serial plate is inside the appliance at the left.

Prior to Initial Start-Up
Before connecting the appliance to the mains and putting it into ope-
1
ration for the first time, leave the appliance to stand for 30 minutes if
was transported upright. After transport on its side, the appliance must
be left to stand for 4 hours before putting it into operation. This is
necessary to allow the oil to flow back into the compressor. Otherwise
the compressor may be damaged.
Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial
0
start-up (see section: "Cleaning and Care").
41
Starting up and temperature regulation
Refrigerator and freezer compartments can be operated and controlled
independently of one another.

red warning light remains illuminated until the required temperature
has been reached.
0 After the storage temperature has been reached, press the fast freeze
button again to switch off the fast freeze function. The yellow light
goes out.
Important! Wait until the freezer compartment has reached a temperature of –18 °C, or the red warning light has gone out, before storing
frozen food.
The red warning light signal an alarm
– if the appliance door is left open too long;
– if the temperature in the freezer compartment is too warm;
– if there is a malfunction in the cooling system.
Note: From a food science point of view, +5 °C for the refrigerator
compartment and -18 °C for the freezer compartment should be considered cold enough as a storage temperature.
The following effects are of significance in respect of the interior temperature:
– Ambient temperature;
– Quantity and temperature of the food stored;
– Frequency with which the door is opened and how long it is left open.

Interior Accessories
Storage Shelves
One glass storage shelf must be inserted into the lower guide track
0
above the fruit and vegetable trays. It must always remain in this position, so that fruits and vegetable remain fresh longer.
The remaining storage shelves can
be adjusted to various heights:
Pull the storage shelf forward until
0
it can be tipped up or down and
removed.
To insert at a different height use
0
the same procedure in reverse.
44
Variable Inner Door
The door compartments can be pulled up and removed, and inserted at
other positions as needed.
Proper Storage
Different temperature zones exist
within the refrigerator due to the
laws of physics. The coldest zone
is at the bottom storage shelf
above the fruit and vegetable
trays. The warmer zones are found
at the uppermost storage shelves
and in the door compartments.
The arrangement example shows
at which places in the refrigerator
suitable temperatures for various
types of foods exist.
Goods should only be frozen in
the bottom drawer of the freezer
compartment, but rather only
stored in the two upper drawers.
Tip: Foods should always be pakkaged or covered in the refrigerator, in order to avoid odour or
flavour contamination to other
refrigerated goods.
The following are suited for pakkaging:
– plastic bags and wraps of polyethylene;
– plastic containers with lids;
– special plastic covers with elastic seals;
– aluminium foil.
45
Freezing
The bottom drawer serves for freezing, the two upper drawers are suited for storage purposes.
Attention!
• Before foods are frozen, the actual temperature in the freezer com-
partment must be -18°C or colder.
• Please observe indicated freezing capacity on the serial plate. The
freezing capacity represents the maximum amount of fresh goods
that can be frozen within 24 hours. If you freeze goods on several
days, one after the other, freeze amounts equal to 2/3 to 3/4 of the
capacity indicated on the serial plate.
• Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into
meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
0 For exploitation of maximum freezing capacity press the FAST FREEZE
button 24 hours prior to freezing, or 4 to 6 hours for smaller quantities.
Yellow display lights up.
The FAST FREEZE button need not be pressed for freezing of small
3
quantities of up to 3 kg.
0 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.
Caution! Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze
to the goods.
0 Place packaged foods in the compartments or drawers. Unfrozen goods
may not come into contact with already frozen goods, otherwise the
frozen goods may start to thaw.
46
Tips:
• The following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods:
– freezer bags and polyethylene wraps;
– special cans for frozen goods;
– extra-thick aluminium foil
• The following are suited for sealing bags and wraps:
plastic clips, rubber bands or adhesive tape.
• Press air out of bags and wraps before sealing, because air encoura-
ges drying of frozen goods.
• Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly.
• Do not fill cans for frozen goods to the brim with liquid or paste-like
goods, because liquids expand during freezing.
Note for inspection authorities:
Batch plans for the determination of freezing performance or warm-up
time can be requested directly from the manufacturer.
Frozen Storage
Attention! Before initial loading of the freezer compartment with pre-
viously frozen goods, the required storage temperature of -18°C must
be reached.
• Load freezer only with packaged frozen goods, so that they do not
dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of
other frozen goods can occur.
• Please observe maximum storage times and expiry dates of frozen
goods.
In so far as possible store frozen goods separately according to type in
2
drawers. Some models are provided with index-tabs which can be attached to the drawers. In order to identify the contents of individual
compartments, attach the index-tabs so that they cover the storage
goods symbols (see section: "Storage Goods Symbols/Freezing Calendar"). Thus you have a better overview, avoid opening the door for long
periods and therefore save energy.
Preparation of Ice Cubes
Fill ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water and place in the freezer tray
0
or a drawer and allow to freeze.
To remove the finished ice cubes twist the ice cube tray or hold under
0
running water for a short time.
Attention! Do not, under any circumstances, free an ice tray which is
frozen to the appliance with pointed or sharp edged objects. Use a
spoon-handle or similar object.
47
Storage Goods Symbols/Freezing Calendar
(not included with all models)
• The symbols on the drawers
show different types of frozen
goods.
• The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate
types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and
pre-treating before freezing. The lower value applies to foods with
high fat content.
• By attaching the included
index-tabs to the drawers, they
can be marked according to
which type of foods the individual compartments contain.
Defrosting
The refrigerator is defrosted automatically
The integrated evaporator on the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment is defrosted fully automatically.
The water collects in the discharge trough at the back wall of the refrigerator, and is fed through the discharge opening in the catch tray at
the compressor where it is evaporated.
Freezer Compartment Defrosting
Moisture is precipitated in the form of white frost in the freezer compartment during operation and when the door is opened, especially in
the middle at the top. Remove this white frost from time to time with a
soft plastic scraper, e.g. a dough scraper. Do not under any circumstances use hard or pointed objects for this purpose.
The appliance should be defrosted when the thickness of the white
frost has reached about 4 mm; but at least once a year in any case. A
convenient time for defrosting is any time when the appliance is empty,
or only minimally loaded.
48
Warning!
1
• Do not use electrical heating appliances or any other mechanical or
artificial devices to speed up the defrosting process, with the exception of those recommended in these operating instructions.
• Do not use defrosting sprays, because they may be health endange-
ring and/or contain substances damaging to plastics.
About 12 hours prior to defrosting push the FAST FREEZE button, in
0
order to build up sufficient chill reserve for the interruption in operation.
Caution! Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze
to the goods.
Remove frozen goods, pack them in several layers of newspaper, cover
0
them and store them in a cool place, e.g. in a refrigerator.
Switch off refrigerator and freezer and remove plug from the mains, or
0
switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or the fuse.
Remove all the drawers. Place a
0
bowl directly in front of the appliance to collect the water from
defrosting and pull out the water
drain conduit.
Tip: In order to speed up the
defrosting process, place a pot of
hot water in the freezer compartment. In addition, remove pieces of
ice that break away before
defrosting is complete.
After defrosting thoroughly clean the freezer interior, as well as interior
0
accessories (see section: "Cleaning and Care").
Cleaning and Care
For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly.
Warning!

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 fro-
zen goods is thus used for cooling in the refrigerator.
• Always keep the condenser at the back of the appliance clean.

Technical Terminology
•
Refrigerant
Fluids, which are used for refrigeration are called refrigerants. They
have a relatively low boiling point; so low, that the warmth of foods
in the refrigeration appliance can cause them to boil or vaporise.
•
Refrigerant circuit
Sealed circulation system, in which the refrigerant is found. The refrigerant circuit consists for the most part of an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser and tubing.
•
Evaporator
The refrigerant is evaporated in the evaporator. This warmth is withdrawn from the appliance interior, which is thus cooled. Like all
fluids, refrigerants require warmth in order to be evaporated. For this
reason the evaporator is located in the appliance interior or installed
with foam directly behind the interior wall, and is thus invisible.
•
Compressor
The compressor looks like a small bin. It is powered by an electric
motor and is housed at the back in the base of the appliance. It is the
task of the compressor to withdraw vaporous refrigerant from the
evaporator, to compress it and feed it to the condenser.
•
Condenser
The condenser is usually in the form of a grid. Compressed refrigerant
from the compressor is liquefied in the condenser. Thus warmth is
released, which is given off into the surrounding air at the surface of
the condenser. The condenser is therefore outside of the appliance,
usually at the back.
