Safety

The safety aspects of our refrigerators/freezers comply with accepted
technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. Nevertheless, we
consider it our obligation to make you aware of the following safety
information:

Intended use

• The refrigerator is intended for use in the home. It is suitable for the
cooling food. If the appliance is used for purposes other than those
intended or used incorrectly, no liability can be accepted by the
manufacturer for any damage that may be caused.

• Alterations or changes to the freezer are not permitted for reasons of safety.

• If you use the refrigerator in a commercial application or for purposes
other than the cooling of foods, please observe all valid legal regulations
for your application.

Prior to initial start–up

• Check the refrigerator for transport damage. Under no circumstance

should a damaged appliance be plugged in! In the event of damage, please
contact the vendor.

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.

• 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 of children

• Packaging (e.g. wraps, polystyrene) can be dangerous for children. There is
a risk of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from children!

• Please make old appliances unusable prior to disposal. Pull out the mains
plug, cut off the mains cable, break or remove spring or boltcatches, if
fitted. By doing this you ensure that children cannot lock themselves in
the fridge when playing (there is risk of suffocation!)or get themselves
into other dangerous situations.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

5

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.!

Daily Operation

• Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigerator/freezer (e.g.
electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.).

• Before cleaning the appliance, always switch off the appliance and unplug
it, or pull the house fuse or switch off the circuit breaker.

• When unplugging always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull
on the cable.

In case of malfunction

• If the a malfunction occurs on the appliance, please look first in the "What
to do if ..." section of these instructions. If the information given there
does not help, please do not perform any further repairs yourself.

• Refrigerators/freezers may only be repaired by qualified service engineers.
Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards. If your appliance needs
repairing, please contact your specialist dealer or our Customer Service.

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.
The carton parts are made from recycled paper and should be disposed of

at a waste-paper recycling collection location.

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! 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.

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.

6

• The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that
this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it
should be taken to the appropriate collection point for the recycling
of electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is
disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative
consequences for the environment and human health, which could
otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this
product. For more detailed information about recycling of this
product, please contact your council, your household waste disposal
service or the shop where you purchased the product.

Remove transport safeguard

The appliance and the interior fittings are protected for transport.

Temperature setting buttons

The temperature is adjusted using the “B“ and “D“ 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, “B“ or “D“ .

• Each time one of the two buttons is pressed again the DESIRED temperature
is adjusted by 1 °C. The DESIRED temperature must be reached within 24
hours.

If neither button are 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).

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 commodities
to be chilled.

Starting Up - Setting the Temperature

1. Plug the mains plug into the mains socket.

2. Press button (A). The appliances starts.

3. Press either the “B“ or “D“ 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 “B“ or “D“ buttons (see section
"Temperature setting buttons"). The temperature display will immediately
show the changed setting. Each time the button is pressed the temperature

9

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 temperature has been set, after a short period (approx. 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. A DESIRED temperature of +2 °C is automatically
selected. 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.

QUICK CHILL

The quick chill function can be used for the fast cooling of drinks in cans or
bottles in the fast cool storage tray or of larger amounts of room-tempera
ture food. The built-in charcoal filter reduces the development of any smell.

"Open Door"-Warning

If the fridge door is left open for longer than 5 minutes the red warning
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.

Holiday Mode

In the holiday mode the temperature for the refrigerator is approximately
+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:

1. To set the holiday mode, press the “+“ (WARMER) or “-“ (COLDER) but­ton. 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.

3 To switch the fridge back to normal operation, press the “-“ (COLDER)
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.

Interior Accessories

Storage shelves

• You should always slide one of the full size glass storage shelves 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 swivelled
upwards or downwards and
removed.

• Please do the same in reverse to

insert the shelf at a different
height. Slide the front half of the
shelf in another level to the rear.
By this means you will gain space
to place tall items on the storage
shelf below.

Bottle holder

Place the bottles (with the opening
facing front) in the pre- positioned
shelf.

If the shelf is positioned horizontally,
place only closed bottles.

This bottle holder shelf can be tilted
in order to store previously opened
bottles.

To obtain this result, pull the shelf up
so it can rotate upwards and be

The filter should be handled
carefully so fragments don´t
loosen from the surface.

14

Fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance:

• do not store warm food or evaporating liquid 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 days

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.

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.

15

Switching off the appliance

1. To switch off, press 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 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:

1. Remove all refrigerated and deep-frozen packages as well as ice trays.

2. Switch off the appliance by pressing the button (A).

3. Remove the mains plug or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.

4. Defrost freezer compartment and clean thoroughly (see section: “Cleaning

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 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

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;

16

– 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. Defrost the freezer compartment prior to cleaning (see "Defrosting"
section).
