1 Important Safety Instructions
The safety of our appliances 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 appliance is intended for use at home. Depending on the preset
operation mode, this appliance becomes suitable for cooling,
freezing, for frozen storage of foods or for ice preparation. The
manufacturer assumes no liability for damages occurring through
improper operation or use of the appliance for unintended purposes.
• Alterations or changes to the appliance are not permitted for reasons
of safety.
• If you should use this appliance in a commercial application or for
purposes other than cooling, freezing, or frozen storage of foods,
please observe all valid legal regulations for your application.
Prior to initial start-up
• Check the appliance for transport damage. Do not under any
circumstances connect a damaged appliance! Please contact your
supplier in the event of damage.
• Make sure that the power plug is not squashed or damaged by the
back of the appliance. A damaged power plug may overheat and
cause a fire.
• If the power plug socket is loose, do not insert the power plug. There
is a risk of electric shock or fire.
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.
818 41 56-00/1 5
Important Safety Instructions
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.
• 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! Inform children of the possible dangers and instruct them in the correct use of 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 appliance.
• 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. Inform children of this danger.
• 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.).
• Warning - Do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings as this
will impair the operation of the appliance.
• 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 condensation on the top panel through contact with
6 818 41 56-00/1
the cold. Electronic components are housed within this top panel. If
water 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.
• Do not remove the power cord by pulling on its lead, particularly
when the appliance is being pulled out of its niche. Damage to the
cord may cause a short circuit, fire and/or electric shock.
• Do not place heavy articles or the appliance itself on the power cord.
There is a risk of a short circuit and fire.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a certified
service agent or qualified personnel.
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 or 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.

10 818 41 56-00/1
Installation
Installation Location
The appliance should be installed 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
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 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.
818 41 56-00/1 11
Installation
The refrigerator/freezer needs ventilation
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.
Important! If the appliance is installed
under a hanging cabinet, a clearance of
at least 10 cm between the top of the
appliance and the cabinet above it must
be maintained.
Please check whether, after installing
your appliance and especially after
reversing the door, the door seal seals
tightly. A badly fitting door seal may
lead to heavy frosting and a higher
power consumption (see also "What to
do if ...“).
Remove the two wall spacers from
the appliance accessories pack and,
in accordance with the illustrations,
fix them at the top of the rear of the
appliance so that the distance from
the wall required for the necessary
ventilation is ensured.
Appliance Alignment
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).
12 818 41 56-00/1
Installation
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.
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.
Warning: Under no circumstances should the appliance be connected
to electronic “power saving plugs” or to a.c.-d.c. converters which convert direct current to 230 V alternating current (e.g., solar installations,
ship networks)
Carbon filter
There is a active carbon filter in the rear wall of the fridge section. The
carbon filter cleans the air in the fridge section and in the LONGFRESH
0°C cold section by binding unpleasant smells.
Tip: The active carbon filter is a part subject to wear and is not covered
by the warranty.
Inserting and changing the active carbon filter:
When the fridge is delivered, the carbon filter is packed in a plastic bag
to ensure a long life. Before using the appliance for the first time, the
carbon filter must be inserted behind the air discharge grill.
With the fridge operating normally, the
carbon filter should be changed once a year
to ensure optimum function.
New carbon filters can be obtained from
specialist dealers or from the customer care
department.

Appliance Description
Freezer tray
A freezer tray is included below the
upper drawer in the freezer
compartment.
Berries and vegetables, for example,
can be pre-frozen on the freezer tray.
Advantage: The berries are not squeezed and maintain their natural
form. The frozen berries can then be stored in compartments or drawers
packaged in individual portions.
Cold Accumulation Block
A cold accumulation block is enclosed with the appliance.
In the event of power failure or a malfunction of the appliance, the
3
cold accumulation block will increase the hold over period by several
hours. The cold accumulation block cools best if it is placed in the top
drawer at the front on the frozen food. If the freezer section is only
partially filled, pack the frozen food together as tightly as possible, so
that in the event of a power cut the cold remains in the frozen food for
longer.
When freezing food, place the cold accumulation block on the already
frozen food to prevent defrosting due to the warmth of the food that is
being frozen.
When defrosting the appliance place the cold accumulation block on
top of the frozen food to keep it cold.
The block may also be used in a cool bag to keep the temperature of
food down during transportation.
Refer to the section "Prior to Initial Start-Up" regarding the freezing of
the cold accumulation block.

Appliance Description
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.
Once the COOLMATIC- or the FROSTMATIC function has been switched
3
on the DESIRED temperature that was set originally for the fridge or
the freezer cannot be changed.
Temperature Displays
The temperature displays shows several
types of information.
• In normal operation the average temperature in the fridge section is
displayed (ACTUAL temperature). The variations in temperature in the
whole fridge section are small.
• In the freezer section the warmest temperature is displayed (ACTUAL
temperature). When fully filled, the warmest zone is normally located
at the top in the front area of the freezer section. Depending upon
how the section is filled, the temperatures are lower in other areas of
the freezer section.
• When the temperature is being adjusted a flashing display indicates
the fridge or the freezer compartment temperature currently set
(DESIRED temperature).
• Tip: When changing the temperature setting wait about 24 hours
until the temperature display has stabilised.
• If there is a fault in the appliance the temperature display shows:
– a square or a letter in the temperature display of the fridge for a
fault in the fridge,
– a square or a letter in the temperature display of the freezer for a
fault in the freezer.
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 or frozen.
When there is a temperature warning for the freezer compartment, if
the ALARM OFF button is activated, the temperature display will show
the warmest temperature the frozen food has reached.

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 2 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 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 chapter "Installation" before it is put into operation for the first time. Care
should be especially taken that the mains voltage and frequency available correspond with the appliance’s rating plate.
3. Remove the cold accumulation block from the appliance.
4. Place the cold accumulation block into a drawer only after the optimal
storage temperature of -18 °C has been reached, and allow to freeze.
5. After 24 hours place the cold accumulation block at the front of the
upper drawer.
6. Re-freeze the thawed cold accumulation block in the same fashion, e.g.
after cleaning the appliance.
Initial Start-Up
0 1. Insert plug into mains socket.
2. Press the ON/OFF button.
The green power indicator lights up. A warning tone sounds and the
flashing red warning light indicates that the required storage temperature has not yet been reached. The temperature displays shows the current, actual refrigerator and freezer temperature. The compressor will
start and then run automatically.
3. Press the ALARM OFF button to switch off the warning tone.
4. Set the refrigerator to the desired temperature (see section: "Tempera-
ture Adjustment").
Goods to be refrigerated can be loaded immediately after switching on,
3
because the storage temperature in the refrigerator is quickly reached.
5. Set the freezer temperature to -18 °C or colder (see section: "Temperature Adjustment").
Do not load freezer with goods until a temperature of -18 °C has been
3
reached, or until the red warning indicator light has gone out.

Temperature Adjustment
With the individual temperature setting buttons the desired
temperatures in the refrigerator and in the freezer compartment can be
adjusted independently of one another.
In the LONGFRESH 0 °C cold zone the temperature is automatically
3
controlled. It remains constant at about 0 °C, no setting is required.
Note: Your appliance is equipped with a dynamic circulating air cooling
function. To adapt the refrigerating capacity required in the fridge zone
and the LONGFRESH 0 °C cold zone in a optimum manner, the fan is
operated at different powers. Because of this, different fan noises are
discernable due to the length of time it is switched on and the speed.
This is normal - there is no malfunction or defect.
0 1. Press either the „+“ (WARMER) or „-“ (COLDER) button for the refriger-
ator or freezer compartment .
The temperature display switches over and the DESIRED temperature
currently set flashes on the temperature display.
2. To adjust to a warmer temperature, press the „+“ (WARMER) button. To
adjust to a colder temperature, press the „-“ (COLDER) button. The
changed setting is immediately displayed on the temperature display.
Each time the button is pressed the temperature is adjusted by 1 °C.
Adjustable temperature range for the freezer compartment:
-15 °C to -24 °C.
Adjustable temperature range for the refrigerator compartment:
+3 °C to +8 °C, +15 °C (Holiday mode)
Note: From a food science point of view, +5 °C for the refrigerator
3
compartment and -18 °C for the freezer compartment should be considered cold enough as a storage temperature.
3. 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 compartment. The display changes from flashing to illuminated
numbers.
When the setting is changed, the compressor does not start immedi-
3
ately if automatic defrosting is currently taking place.
Important! Please check red warning indicator light and temperature
display regularly to assure maintenance of the storage temperature.

yellow light goes out.
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:
0 1. T
o 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. Press 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 letter H
will appear in the display. 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.
If, while you are away, the room temperature could fall below 15 °C for
a long period, the fridge should not be operated in the HOLIDAY mode,
but switched off and the door opened.

Control and Information Systems
The control and information systems consist of a temperature display,
an optical warning indicator light and an acoustic warning.
The system warns if:
– when first switching on the appliance (when the storage temperature
has not yet been attained);
– when the appliance doors are open
– the temperature in the refrigerator or freezer compartment is too
high;
– functional disturbances at the appliance.
"Open Door"-Warning
If the fridge or freezer door is left open the red warning indicator light
will flash and an acoustic warning tone will sound
– after approx. 80 seconds if the freezer door is left open
– after approx. 5 minutes if the fridge door is left open
If you need more time to load or rearrange refrigerated or frozen foods,
you can switch off the warning tone by pressing the ALARM OFF button.
If the doors are still left open the warning tone will sound again at the
end of the appropriate period of time.
The red warning indicator light will go off when the doors are closed.
Temperature Warning
For the fridge:
The red warning indicator light flashes and a warning tone sounds as
soon as the temperature in the fridge rises to more than +11 °C.
0 1. You can switch off the warning tone using the ALARM OFF button.
The warning indicator light and warning tone switch themselves off
3
automatically when the temperature in the fridge drops to below
+12 °C.
818 41 56-00/1 27
For the freezer:
The red warning indicator light flashes and a warning tone sounds as
soon as the temperature in the freezer rises to more than -11 °C. In
addition the freezer temperature display flashes.
0 1. You can switch off the warning tone using the ALARM OFF button.
The freezer temperature display stops flashing and displays the warmest temperature that has been reached in the freezer during the temperature alarm. After approx. 5 seconds the temperature display reverts
to the current freezer temperature.
The warning tone switches itself off automatically if the temperature in
3
the freezer falls to lower than -11 °C. The red warning indicator light
and the temperature display continue to flash.
If the possibility of partial or complete thawing exists, you should
check the quality of the foods.
A rise in temperature may be caused by:
– frequent door opening for long periods of time;
– loading with large quantities of warm foods;
– high ambient temperature;
– an error with the appliance.
Function Errors
If the electronics in the appliance detects a technical defect that has to
be rectified by the customer, the temperature display indicates:
– a square or a letter in the temperature display of the fridge for a fault
in the fridge,
– a square or a letter in the temperature display of the freezer for a
fault in the freezer.
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.

Interior Accessories
Storage Shelves
The storage shelves can be adjusted
to various heights:
0 1. Pull the storage shelf forward until
it can be tipped up or down and
removed.
2. 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.
LONGFRESH 0 °C cold section
The LONGFRESH 0 °C cold section consists of two drawers, which are
fitted with sliding regulators to adjust the air humidity.
In the LONGFRESH 0 °C cold section the temperature is automatically
controlled. It remains constant at about 0 °C, no setting is required.
The low storage temperature of around 0 °C and the air moisture that
can be regulated result in optimum storage conditions for various
foodstuffs.
Compared to the normal fridge zone, fresh food can be stored in the
LONGFRESH 0 °C cold section for longer while keeping the same
quality.
High levels of taste and freshness, vitamins and minerals are retained.
Weight loss in fruit and vegetables is reduced. Nutrition levels in your
food are higher as a result.
The LONGFRESH 0 °C cold section is also suitable for slowly defrosting
3
frozen food. If you do this, the defrosted food can be kept in the
LONGFRESH 0 °C cold section for up to two days.
