Electrical connection
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.
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 rating plate is inside the appliance on the left.
A correctly installed, earthed socket is required for the electrical supply. The
supply must have a fuse rating of at least 10 Amps.
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).
Attention: The mains connection cable may only be replaced by a skilled
electrician. Please contact your dealer or our customer service department
for repairs.
Prior to Initial Start–Up
• Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial start-
up (see section: “Cleaning and Care”).

Cleaning and Care
For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories,
should be cleaned regularly.
Warning!
• The appliance may not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance offand rem
ve 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 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.
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.
1. Remove frozen food and the food from the refrigerator. Wrap frozen

Interior Accessories
Storage shelves
• You should always slide one of the full size glass storage shelf into the
lowest set of guides, above the fruit and the 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 swivelledupwards or downwards and
removed.
• Please do the same in reverse to
insert the shelf at a different height.Slide the front half of the Vario
storage shelf in another level to
the rear. By this means you will
gain space to place tall items on
the storage shelf below.
Starting up and temperature regulation
• Insert the plug of the connection lead into the plug socket with protective earth contact.
Setting „0“ means: Off.
Setting „1“ means: Hightest temperature, (warmest setting).
Setting „4“ (end-stop) means: Lowest temperature, (coldest setting).
However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in the mind that the
temperature inside the refrigerator depends on:
-the quantity of food stored
-how often the door is opened
Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting on
the temperature regulator (position "4") 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.
27
Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating liquide in the refrigeator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
• Position food so that air can circuiate freely round it.
Useful hints:
Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above
