1 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 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.
• Warning - 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 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.
35
Safety
• 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.
• Warning - Do not operate any electrical appliances in the appliance
(e.g. electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.) unless they have been
authorised by the manufacturer.
• Warning - In order not to impair the function of the appliance, never
cover or obstruct the ventilation openings.
• Warning - Do not use any mechanical devices or other artificial
means to speed up defrosting unless they are recommended by the
manufacturer.
• 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.
36
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.
Environmental Information
Packaging
All transit packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can
be reused. Wood is un-treated. 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 pure hydrocarbon
compounds and can be recycled.
The carton parts are made from recycled paper. Please dispose of the
packaging with due care for the environment.
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.
37
Appliance Transport
Two persons are required for transport of the appliance.
0 In order to push the appliance into its final position, press carefully at
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.
Remove transport safeguard
The appliance as well as interior accessory parts are safeguarded for
transport.
0 Remove all tape and pads from the interior of the appliance.
Tape remnants can be removed with white spirit.

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 rating 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:
38
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.
Attention! If the appliance is
installed under, for example, a
hanging cabinet, a clearance of at
least 4 cm between the top of the
appliance and the cabinet above it
must be maintained.
Installation
Appliance Alignment
0 The appliance must have a solid, level footing. Please compensate for
unevenness in the floor by turning the two adjustable feet at the front
in or out.
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).
0 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.
39
e.g.: AC 220 ... 230 V 50 Hz or
220 ... 230 V~50 Hz
(i.e. 220 to 230 volts alternating current, 50 Hertz)
The rating plate is inside the appliance at the left.
Warning: To avoid potential danger, if the mains connection lead of
this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by our customer service
representative or a person with similar qualifications.
Changing Over The Door Hinges
The door hinges can be changed from right (as supplied) to left if required to suit the location where the appliance is installed.
Warning! The appliance must not be plugged into the mains when the
1
door hinges are being changed over. Unplug from the mains first.

Appliance Description
Buttons for Adjusting the Temperature
The temperature is adjusted using the „+“ (WARMER) and
„-“ (COLDER) buttons.
These buttons are connected to the temperature display.
• The temperature display is switched over from the display of the
ACTUAL temperature (Temperature display is illuminated) to the display of the DESIRED temperature (Temperature display flashes) by
pressing one of the two buttons, „+“ (WARMER) or „-“ (COLDER).
• Each time one of the two buttons is pressed again the DESIRED tem-
perature is adjusted by 1 °C.
• If neither button is pressed, the temperature display automatically
switches back after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) to the display of
the ACTUAL temperature.
DESIRED temperature means:
The temperature that has been selected for inside the fridge or the
freezer compartment. The DESIRED temperature is indicated by flashing
numbers.
ACTUAL temperature means:
The temperature display indicates the current temperature inside the
fridge or the freezer compartment. The ACTUAL temperature is indicated with illuminated numbers.
Temperature Displays
• During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the
fridge or the freezer compartment (ACTUAL temperature) is displayed.
• When the temperature is being adjusted a flashing display indicates
the fridge or the freezer compartment temperature currently set
(DESIRED temperature).
• If there is a fault in the appliance the temperature display shows:
– a square in the refrigerator compartment’s temperature display
indicates a malfunction in the refrigerator compartment,
– a square in the freezer compartment’s temperature display
indicates a malfunction in the freezer compartment.
44
The temperature displays shows several
types of information.
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.
0 Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial
start-up (see section: "Maintenance and Cleaning").
Initial Start-Up
Refrigerator and freezer compartments can be operated and controlled
independently of one another.
0 Insert plug into mains socket.
Refrigerator Start-Up
0 Press refrigerator ON/OFF button.
The flashing red warning light indicates that the required storage temperature has not yet been reached.
0 Set the refrigerator to the desired temperature (see section: "Tempera-
ture Adjustment").
Temperature range that can be set: +2 °C to +8 °C.
Goods to be refrigerated can be loaded immediately after switching on,
3
because the storage temperature in the refrigerator is quickly reached.
Freezer Compartment Start-Up
0 Press freezer compartment ON/OFF button.
A warning tone sounds and the flashing red warning light indicates
that the required storage temperature has not yet been reached.
0 Press the WARNING OFF button to switch off the warning tone.
The warning tone switches off automatically after one hour, if it is not
3
switched off by hand.
0 Set temperature to -18 °C or colder (see section: "Temperature Adjust-
ment").
Temperature range that can be set: -15 °C to -24 °C.
0 Do not load freezer with goods until a temperature of -18°C has been
reached, or until the red warning display has gone out.
45
Temperature Adjustment
With the individual buttons for temperature adjustment the desired
temperatures in the refrigerator and in the freezer compartment can be
adjusted independently of one another.
0 Press either the „+“ (WARMER) or „-“ (COLDER) button.
The temperature display switches over and the DESIRED temperature
currently set flashes on the temperature display.
0 To adjust to a warmer temperature, press the „+“ button. To adjust to a
colder temperature, press the „-“ button. The changed setting is immediately displayed on the temperature display.
The temperature is adjusted by one display field with each press of a
button.
From a food science point of view, +5 °C for the refrigerator compart-
3
ment and -18 °C for the freezer compartment should be considered
cold enough as a storage temperature.
0 When the buttons are not further pressed after an adjustment has been
made, after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) the temperature display switches over and again displays the ACTUAL temperature in the refrigerator- or freezer compartment. The display changes from flashing to
illuminated numbers.
The compressor will start and then operate automatically.
Tip: The compressor will not start up immediately when the setting is
changed if automatic defrosting is taking place at that moment.
Important! Please check red warning display and temperature display
regularly to assure maintenance of the storage temperature.

be adjusted to various heights:
0 Pull the storage shelf forward until
it can be tipped up or down and
removed.
0 To insert at a different height use
the same procedure in reverse.
Variable Inner Door
The door compartments can be pulled up and removed, and inserted at
other positions as needed.
Dynamic Air Cooling System
The dynamic air cooling system can
be used for better cooling efficiency at high ambient temperature (above 25 °C) and high
quantity of stored food in the
refrigerator compartment to get:
• Quicker refrigeration
• More homogeneous temperature
49
0 To start the dynamic air cooling system push the button on the fan
housing. The green pilot light comes on.
0 To switch off push the button again. The green pilot light goes out.
The cooling process is more efficient when the dynamic cooling system
3
is in operation. The temperature should be set such that a large buildup of frost is avoided.
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.
Opening the Freezer Compartment Door
If the freezer compartment door is closed when the appliance is in operation, it is possible that it cannot be immediately opened again. A
vacuum occurs in the freezer compartment which holds the door closed
until pressure has been equalised. The door can be opened again after
several minutes.
50
Freezing
The bottom drawer is best suited for freezing, and the two upper
drawers are to be used in the storage of frozen items.
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 rating 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 rating plate.
• Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into
meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
0 For freezing the maximum capacity press the FROSTMATIC button 24
hours prior to freezing, or 4 to 6 hours for smaller quantities. Yellow
indicator lights up.
The FROSTMATIC 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 goods in the drawers. Unfrozen goods may not come
into contact with already frozen goods, otherwise the frozen goods
may start to thaw.
The appliance electronics automatically switch the FROSTMATIC func-
3
tion off after a period of 48 hours. Yellow indicator light goes out. You
can also stop the FROSTMATIC function manually by pressing the
FROSTMATIC button again.
Tips:
• The following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods:
– freezer bags and polyethylene wraps;
– plastic containers for frozen foods;
– 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.
51
• Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly.
• Do not fill plastic containers for frozen foods to the brim with liquid
or paste-like goods, because liquids expand during freezing.
Frozen Storage
Warning! Before initial loading of the freezer compartment with previously 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. Thus you have a better overview, avoid opening the door for
long periods and therefore save energy.
Preparation of Ice Cubes
0 Fill ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water and place in the freezer tray
or a drawer in the freezer compartment and allow to freeze.
0 To remove the finished ice cubes twist the ice cube tray or hold under
running water for a short time.
Warning! 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.
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 indi-
cated 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.
52
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.
Warning!
1
• Do not use electrical heating appliances or any other mechanical or
artificial devices to speed up the defrosting process, with the excep-
tion 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.
0 About 12 hours prior to defrosting push the FROSTMATIC button, in
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.
0 Remove frozen goods, pack them in several layers of newspaper, cover
them and store them in a cool place.
0 Switch off refrigerator and freezer and remove plug from the mains, or
switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or the fuse.
53
0 Remove all the drawers. Place a
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.
0 After defrosting thoroughly clean the freezer interior, as well as interior
accessories (see section: "Cleaning and Maintenance").
Cleaning and Maintenance
For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly.
Warning!
1
• The appliance may not be connected to the mains during cleaning.
Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance off
and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the
circuit breaker or fuse.
• Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accu-
mulate 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.
54
Attention!
• Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e. g.
– lemon juice or the juice from orange peals;
– 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.
If the refrigerator only is to be cleaned, press the FROSTMATIC button
3
several hours in advance, in order to build up sufficient chill reserve in
the freezer compartment for the interruption in service. Do not open
the freezer compartment door.
0 Defrost freezer compartment before cleaning (see section:
"Defrosting“).
0 Switch off refrigerator and freezer and remove plug from the mains, or
switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or the fuse.
0 Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and luke-
warm water. Commercially available dish washing detergents may also
be used.
0 After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry.
0 Check the water discharge opening at the back wall of the refrigerator.
A clogged water discharge opening can be freed with the help of a
wire.
0 Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean
and free from debris.
Accumulation of dust at the condenser reduces cooling performance
2
and 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.
0 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 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.
