Installation
Installation Location
The appliance should be installed 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 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:
Climate classificationfor 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 follow
ing
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.

your appliance and especially after
reversing the door, the door seal fits
tightly. A badly fitting door seal may
lead to heavy frosting and a higher
power consumption (see also
"Something not working“).
Appliance Alignment
Installation
0 1. The appliance must be level, please compensate for unevenness in the
floor by turning the two adjustable feet at the front.
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 1. 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 at the left.

ALARM OFF button
With the ALARM OFF button, the acoustic warning signal
can be switched off, e.g. the "Open Door" warning when
sorting in or out, the food to be chilled.
Prior to Initial Start–Up
Before connecting the appliance to the mains and starting it for the
1
first time, leave the appliance to stand for 30 minutes if was
transported upright. After transporting it on its side, the appliance
must be left to stand for 2 hours before switching it on. This is
necessary to allow the refrigerant to flow back into the compressor.
Otherwise the compressor may be damaged.
0 1. Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial
start-up (see section: “Maintenance and Cleaning”).
2. The appliance must be correctly installed in accordance with the chap-
ter "Installation" before it is switched on for the first time. Care should
be especially taken that the mains voltage and frequency available correspond with the appliance’s rating plate.

Note: From a food safety point of view, +5 °C for the refrigerator
compartment should be considered cold enough as a storage
temperature.
When the buttons are not pressed again after an adjustment has been
3
made, after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) the temperature display switches over and again displays the ACTUAL temperature in the refrigerator. The display changes from flashing to static numbers.
The compressor will start and then run automatically.
Information! When the setting is changed, the compressor does not
start immediately if automatic defrosting is currently taking place.
818 39 96-00/119
COOLMATIC
COOLMATIC button
The COOLMATIC function is suited for quick cooling of
large quantities of goods in the refrigerator, e.g. drinks
and salads for a party.
0 1. The COOLMATIC function is switched on by pressing the COOLMATIC
button. The yellow light illuminates.
The COOLMATIC function now provides for intensive cooling. A DESIRED temperature of +2 °C is automatically selected. The COOLMATIC
function is ended automatically after a period of 6 hours. The originally
selected DESIRED temperature is again valid. The temperature display
shows the ACTUAL refrigerator temperature.
2. The COOLMATIC function can be ended manually at any time by press-
ing the COOLMATIC button again. The yellow light goes out.
Important! Once the COOLMATIC function has been switched on the
DESIRED temperature that was set originally cannot be changed.
Quick chill

"Open Door" Warning
If the fridge door is left open for longer than 5 minutes the red warn-
ing display will flash and an acoustic warning tone will sound.
If you need more time to load or rearrange refrigerated foods, you can
switch off the warning tone by pressing the ALARM OFF button.
The red warning display will go off when the door is closed.
Temperature warning
The red warning light flashes and a warning tone sounds, as soon as the
temperature in the refrigerator is warmer than 12 °C. Such a rise in
temperature can possibly be put down to:
– opening the door a lot or leaving it open for a long time;
– storing larger quantities of warm food;
– a fault with the appliance.
You can turn off the warning tone using the ALARM OFF button.
The warning light and the warning tone switch off automatically,
when the ACTUAL temperature existing in the refrigerator drops below
12 °C again.
Switching the Appliance off
0 1. To switch off, push the ON/OFF button. This will result in a countdown
from "3" to "1" taking place in the temperature display. On reaching "1"
the fridge will switch off. The temperature display will go off.
The appliance is only completely disconnected from the electricity
3
supply when the power plug has been removed from the power outlet.
Note:
The appliance cannot be switched on or off if unplugged, or if there is
no power being supplied to it.
Following connection to the mains power supply, the appliance returns
to the same operating state as before the interruption of main power.
If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period:
0 1. Switch off the appliance, to do this press the ON/OFF button.
2. Remove the mains plug.
3. Clean the appliance thoroughly (see section: "Maintenance and Clean-
ing").
4. Leave door open to avoid accumulation of odours.
818 39 96-00/121
Holiday Mode
In the holiday mode the temperature for the refrigerator is approxi-
mately +15 °C. In the holiday mode it is therefore possible to leave the
door of the empty refrigerator closed during periods of extended
absence. Advantage: Unintentional closing of the door, or accidental
closing of the door by persons who have access to your home during
your absence, is no longer possible. Without the holiday mode leaving
the door closed would lead to the accumulation of odours and mould.
After emptying and cleaning the appliance, proceed as follows:
0 1. To set the holiday mode, press the „+“ (WARMER) or „-“ (COLDER) but-
ton.
The temperature display will change and indicate in flashing numbers
the DESIRED temperature that is currently set.
2. Hold down the „+“ (WARMER) button until the temperature display
indicates H (for holiday). The temperature shown in the temperature
display will change in steps of 1 °C until it reaches +8 °C. After +8 °C
the value +15 °C will appear in the display with the letter H. The fridge
is now operating in energy-saving holiday mode.
To switch the fridge back to normal operation, press the „-“ (COLDER)
3
button.
Important! Do not store any goods in the refrigerator when the holiday
mode is in operation. The temperature is regulated at about +15 °C
when the holiday mode is in operation. This is too warm for food products.
Opening the Door
If the door is closed when the appliance is in operation, it cannot be
immediately opened again, because a vacuum occurs which holds the
door closed until pressure has been equalised. The door can be opened
again after several minutes.
