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 corresponds 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: each climate classification:
Climate classification
for an ambient temperature of
SN +10 bis +32 °C N +16 bis +32 °C ST +16 bis +38 °C T +16 bis +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.
If the refrigeration appliance is installed next to another refriger ator or free­zer a clearance of 5 cm at the sides is required, in order to prevent the for­mation of condensation on the outside of the appliance.

Temperature setting buttons
The temperature is adjusted using the “C“ (+) and “E“ (-) buttons. These but­tons are connected to the temperature display.
The temperature display is switched over from the display of the ACTUAL temperature (Temper ature display is illuminated) to the display of the DESI­RED temperature (Temperature display flashes) by pressing one of the two buttons, “C“ (+) or “E“ (-).
Each time one of the two buttons is pressed again the DESIRED temper atu­re is adjusted by 1 °C. The DESIRED temperature must be r eached within 24 hours.
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. The DESIRED temperature is indicated by flashing numbers.
ACTUAL temperature means:
The temperature display indicates the current temperature inside the fridge. The ACTUAL temperature is indicated with illuminated numbers.
Temperature display
The temperature display can indicate several pieces of information.
During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the fridge (ACTUAL temperature) is displayed.
When the temperature is being adjusted a flashing display indicates the fridge temperature currently set (DESIRED temperature).
Starting Up - Setting the Temperature
1. Plug the mains plug into the mains socket.
2. If the display is OFF press ON/OFF button. The green mains pilot indicator illuminates. The appliances start.
3. Press either the “C“ (+) or “E“ (-) button. The temperature display switches over and the DESIRED temperature currently set flashes on the temperatu­re display.
4. Set the required temperature by pressing the “C“ (+) or “E“ (-) buttons (see section "Temperature setting buttons"). The temper atur e display will imme­diately show the changed setting. Each time the button is pressed the tem­perature is adjusted by 1 °C.
From a food safety point of view +5 °C should be considered sufficiently cold for storing food in the fridge.
5. Once the required temper atur e has been set, after a short period (appr ox. 5 sec.) the temperature display will change and again indicate the current ACTUAL temperature inside the fridge. The display will change from flashing to continuous illumination.
Information! When the setting is changed, the compressor does not start immediately if automatic defrosting is currently taking place. As the stora­ge temperature within the fridge is reached quickly you can store food immediately after switching on.
COOLMATIC
The COOLMATIC function is suited for quick cooling of large quantities of goods in the refrigerator.
1. The COOLMATIC function is switched on by pressing the COOLMATIC but­ton. The yellow light illuminates.
The COOLMATIC function now provides for intensive cooling. The COOL­MATIC function is ended automatically after a period of 6 hours.
2. The COOLMATIC function can be ended manually at any time by pressing the COOLMATIC button again. The yellow light goes out.

Interior Accessories
Storage Shelves
The glass shelf above the fruit and vegetable compartment should always remain in position, to ensure fruit and vegetables stay fresh lon­ger.
The remaining storage shelves can be adjusted to various heights:
Pull the storage shelf forward until it can be tipped up or down and remo­ved. To insert at a different height use the same procedure in reverse.
Adjustment for tall goods: Remove the front half of the two-part vario glass storage shelf and insert it
at a different level. Space is thus gained for storage of tall goods on the underlying storage shelf.
Variable Inner Door
The door compartments can be pulled up and removed, and inserted at other positions as needed.

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 the vegetable drawer(s). For safety, store in this way only one or two day s
at the most. Cooked foods, cold dishes , etc: these should be covered and may be placed
on any shelf. Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the
special drawer(s) provided. Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or
wapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as pos­sible.
Milk bootles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.
Warning: this appliance i s sold in France.
In accordance with regulations valid in this country it must be provided with a special device (see figure) placed in the lower com­partment of the fridge, to indica­te the coldest zone of it.

Defrosting
Refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment 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.
Cleaning and Care
For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly.
Warning!
• The appliance should 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 accumu-
late 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 peels; – 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.
2. Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.

Energy Saving Tips
• Do not install the appliance near radiators or other sources of warmth.
High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent oper ation 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.
• Keep the heat emitting condenser, the metall grille on the rear wall of
your appliance, always clean.
3. Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water. Commercially available dish washing detergents may also be used.
4. After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry. Accumulation of dust at the conden-
ser 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.
5. Check the water drain hole on the rear wall of the fridge. Clear a blocked drain hole with the aid of the green peg in the pack of acces­sories included with the appliance.
6. After everything is dry place applian­ce back into service.
