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, freezing and storing of frozen food, as well as for making ice. 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 forpurposes
other than the cooling, freezing or frozen storage 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.

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.
• The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall be handed
over to the applicable 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 local city office, 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.
• Pull off the adhesive tape on the left and right side of the door.
• Remove all adhesive tape and packing pieces from the interior of the
appliance.
7
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 refrigerator 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.
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:

Prior to Initial Start–Up
• Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial startup (see section: “Cleaning and Care”).
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: If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special
cord available from the manufactured or its service agent.. Please contact
your dealer or our customer service department for repairs.

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.

LONGFRESH 0°C compartment
In the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment the temperature is controlled
automatically. It stays constantly at about 0°C, no adjustment is necessary.
The constant storage temperature of about 0°C and the relative
humidity of between 45 and 90 % provide optimal conditions for the
various kinds of food.
You can therefore store a variety of fresh food in the LONGFRESH 0°C
compartment, where it will last up to 3 times longer with better quality compared to normal refrigerator compartments.
This allows you to stock more fresh food. Taste, degree of freshness,
quality and nutritional values (vitamins and minerals) are well preserved. Loss of weight in vegetables and fruit diminishes. Food yields
a higher degree of nutritional value.
The LONGFRESH 0°C compartment is also suitable for defrosting food.
In this case the thawed food can be stored up to two days in the
LONGFRESH 0°C compartment.
Humidity control
Both drawers can be used
according to the desired storage conditions independently
of each other with lower or
higher humidity.
Regulation for each drawer is
separate and is controlled
using the slide valve at the
front of the drawer.
• „Dry“: low air humidity - up to 50 % relative humidity
This humidity level is reached when both sliders are set into this
position and the ventilation openings are wide open.
• „Humid“: high relative humidity - up to 90%
This humidity level is reached when both sliders are set in this posi-
tion and the ventilation openings are closed. Humidity is kept
and can not escape.
15
Drawer divider
The wire shelves inside the drawers permit that air can circulate
freely and consequently a better
conservation of foods.
The compartment has stops to
prevent the drawers from falling
out when fully extended.
To remove the drawers (e.g. for
cleaning purposes), pull them out
as far as the stops, lift and
extract..
Note: if large quantities of foods
are to be stored in the 0°C compartment, it is possible to remove
the bottom drawer.
16
Correct storage
The refrigerator compartment is fitted with a fan. This quickly cools
food stuffs and ensures optimal distribution of the temperature
between the fridge and the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment.
The following can be conserved in the refrigeration compartment:
- beverages, preserves, jars, bottles;
- baked goods, prepared foods;
- products with short-term expiration;
- foods which are not suitable for conservation at the temperature of
the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment.
Tips:
• Do not place warm foods or uncovered liquids in the refrigerator.
• Place foods in such a way that air can circulate freely and not place
plastic bags or similar components in contact with the plastic cover grille situated in the fridge compartment.
• Keep butter and cheese in the special compartment to guarantee
their consistency and aroma.
• Foods, and especially salad, must be kept in the refrigeration com-
partment well covered or packaged in such a way that they do not
dry out and that their flavours and fragrances remain unchanged.
The following are suited for packaging:
– Polyethylene airtight bags and wraps;
– Plastic containers with lids;
– Special plastic covers with elastic;
– aluminium foil.
• High-proof spirits should only be conserved tightly closed and in a
vertical position.
• Do not keep explosive or flammable materials in the refrigerator.
Conserve in the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment all foods which are
suited to it.

Important!
Not to be placed in the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment:
• cold sensitive fruit which have to be stored at cellar or room tem-
perature like pineapple, bananas, grapefruit, melons, mango,
papaya, oranges, lemons, kiwi fruit.
• The types of food not mentioned above should be stored in the
refrigerator compartment (e.g. all sorts of cheese, cold cuts, etc.).
The level of air humidity in the drawers depends on the content of
humidity in the stored food, vegetable and fruit and on the frequency of door opening
The LONGFRESH 0°C compartment is also suitable for slow thawing of
food. In this case the thawed food can be stored in the LONGFRESH
0°C compartment for up to two days.
Tips:
• Pay attention to the freshness of the food, especially on the expiry
date. Quality and freshness influence the storage time.
• The whole storage cycle time will depend on the preservation con-
ditions made prior to the final storage in the fridge.
• Food, fruit or vegetables should always be packed or wrapped up
before storage.
• Animal food always store packed and dry.
• Food rich in proteins will go bad quicker. This means seafood will
spoil before fish which in turn will spoil before meat. While storing
food in a 0°C compartment storage time for that kind of food can
be increased by up to three times as well without loss on quality.
• All food stored in a 0°C compartment should be taken out of the
drawers roughly 15-30 min before consumption, particularly fruit
and vegetables to be consumed without any additional cooking
process. Allowing fruit and vegetables to return to room tempera-
ture will improve the texture and flavour.

In the event of a power failure or malfunction, the ice pack will lengthen
the amount of time it takes for the frozen food to become too warm by
several hours. The ice pack can only fulfil this task optimally if it is placed in
the uppermost drawer, at the front, above the frozen food. You can use the
ice pack for cooling cold bags.

FROSTMATIC
The FROSTMATIC function accelerates the freezing of fresh food and, at the
same time, protects foodstuffs already stored from undesirable warming.
1. The FROSTMATIC function is switched on by pressing the FROSTMATIC button. The yellow light illuminates.
If the FROSTMATIC function is not ended manually, the appliance switch off
the FROSTMATIC function after 48 hours. The yellow light goes out.
2. The FROSTMATIC function can be ended manually at any time by pressing
the FROSTMATIC button again. The yellow light goes out.
Alarm reset button
In the event of an abnormal temperature rise inside the freezer (e.g. power
cut) warning light (O) will start to flash and a buzzer will sound.
After the temperature has returned to normal, the warning light (O) will
continue to flash, although the buzzer has stopped.
When the alarm button is pressed, the warmest temperature reached in the
compartment flashes on the indicator.
Switching the Appliance off
To switch off, hold down the ON/OFF button for approx. 5 seconds. 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.
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. Switch off the appliance, holding down the ON/OFF button until the display
goes off (see above).
2. Remove the mains plug or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.
3. Defrost the freezer compartment and clean the appliance thoroughly (see
section: “Cleaning and Maintenance”).
4. Finally, leave the doors open so as to avoid a build up of odours.

Freezing and storing frozen food
You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself.
Important!
• The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18 °C or colder
before freezing food.
• Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The free-
zing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be frozen
within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food several days in a
row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4 of that on the
rating plate. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen
right through to the core as quickly as possible.
• Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause
increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
• Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufacturer.
• Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals)
may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
• Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures.
There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flammable materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.
• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst when
the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even explode!
Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc. in the freezer. Exception: high alcohol content spirits can be stored in the freezer.
• All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not
dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of
other frozen goods occurs.
Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze to the food.
1. Place the packed food in the drawers. Place food to be frozen in the upper
compartment. Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen,
otherwise the frozen food could begin to defrost.
2. Place frozen foods in the drawers sorted by type, as far as possible.
24
Freezing Calendar
• The symbols on the drawers show
different types of frozen goods.
• The numbers indicate storage times
in months for the appropriate
types of frozen goods.
Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid
depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating before freezing. The
lower value applies to foods with high fat content.
Preparation of Ice Cubes
1. Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer compartment and leave to freeze.
2. To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend the ice cube tray or hold it under
running water for a few seconds.
Important! Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer compartment using pointed or sharp edged objects. Use the ice scraper supplied.
Defrosting
The fridge defrosts automatically
Defrosting of the fridge compartment is automatic. The water that
forms flows into a recipient on the compressor and evaporates. This
recipient cannot be removed.
Freezer
The freezer compartment, however, will become progrssively covered with
frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided, whenever the tickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm. During this operation it is not
necessary to switch off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.
However when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete
defrosting should be carried out as follows:
1. Remove the frozen food from the freezer, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a very cool place.
2. Switch off the appliance and pull out the plug, or remove or unscrew the
safety fuses.
3. Leave the freezer compartment door open.
25
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. Dan-
ger 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 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 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 food
in several layers of newspaper. Store it in a cool place, well covered.
4. Insert the plastic scraper into the
recess provided under the defrost
water channel and place a collecting
basin under it.
5. Once defrosting is completed keep
the scraper for future use;
6. Switch on the appliance or replace
the plug in the power socket.
Warning!
Never use metal tools to scrape off
the frost
Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the
thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during defrosting , may shorten their safe storage life.

2. Defrost the freezer compartment prior to cleaning (see "Defrosting" section).
3. Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off
or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.
4. Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm
water. Commercially available dish washing detergents may also be used.
5. After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry.
Accumulation of dust at the condenser 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.
6. After everything is dry reconnect the appliance to the electricity sup-
ply.
The lowest shelf, dividing the cooler compartment from the
LONGFRESH 0°C compartment can be removed for cleaning. To
remove pull out the shelf straight.
The cover plates above the drawers in the 0°C compartment can be
taken out for cleaning. To make sure fully functionality of the
LONGFRESH 0°C compartment the cover must be put back in their
original position after cleaning.
Energy Saving Tips
• Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources of
warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent operation 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.
