Safety
The safety of our refrigerators/freezers 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:
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 refrigerator 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, the manufacturer accepts no lia­bility for any damages which may occur.
Prior to initial start–up
• Check the appliance for transport damage. Under no circumstance should a damaged appliance be plugged in. In the event of damage, please contact your supplier.
• Ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable.
Important: if the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by authorised service or qualified personnel using a special cable of the same type.
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.
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 bolt

Safety
catches, if fitted. By doing this you ensure that children cannot lock themselves in the appliance when playing (there is risk of suffocati­on!) or get themselves into other dangerous situations.
• Often children cannot recognise the hazards present in household
appliances. It is therefore important that you ensure adequate super­vision and never let children play with the appliance!
Daily Operation
• 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 spray cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.
Warning - Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigera­tor/freezer (e.g. electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.).
Warning - In order not to impair the function of the appliance, never cover or obstruct the ventilation openings.
Warning - Do not damage the cooling circuit.
• Before cleaning the appliance, always switch off the appliance and unplug it, or disconnect from the electricity supply.
• When unplugging always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.
In case of malfunction
• If 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.

Disposal
Appliance Packaging Information
All materials are environmentally sound! They can be disposed of 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 ensures that playing children do not lock themselves inside 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, must 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.

Installation
Installation Location
The appliance should be set up 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:
Installation directly under a hob is not allowed. The temperatures of the hob, which in part are quite high, may damage the appliance.
If a hob is installed near the appliance, the corresponding installation and safety instructions must be adhered to. Considering the numerous installation conditions which are possible, there is no way of providing detailed information here.
24
Remove transport packaging
The appliance and the interior fittings are protected for transport.
1. Pull off the adhesive tape on the left and right side of the door.
2. Remove all adhesive tape and packing pieces from the interior of the
appliance.
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

25
Installation
It is necessary to avoid overheating of the appliance by maintaining adequate distances from heat sources and by the use of a suitable thermal insulation plate. Proper ventilation of the appliance must also be ensured.
Your refrigerator needs ventilation
Integratable models (i-appliances)
The integrated door of the furniture cabi­net largely seals the installation recess. i­appliances must therefore be provided with ventilation by having an opening in the furniture plinth. The warmed air must be able to be exhausted upwards through the air shaft on the furniture back. The ventilation cross-sections should be at least 200 cm

.
Warning - To ensure the appliance func-
tions correctly, never cover or obstruct the
ventilation openings.
Installation
See installation instructions supplied. Please check whether, after installing your appliance and especially
after rehingeing the door, the door seal seals right round. An untight door seal may lead to heavy frosting and thereby to a higher power consumption (see also „What to do if...“).
Electrical connection
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. a fused spur).
Before initial start-up, refer to the appliance rating plate to ascertain if supply voltage and current values correspond with those of the

(i.e. 220 to 240 volts alternating current, 50 Hertz) The rating plate is inside the appliance on the left.
The mains cable may only be changed by a qualified electrician or competent person. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact your local Customer Care Department.
Page 10
27
Prior to Initial Start–Up
Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial start-up (see section: “Cleaning and Care”).
Starting up and temperature regulation
Important! Only use the appliance when built–in! The temperature regulator is in the
refrigerator compartment on the upper right. It is also the ON/OFF-switch.
Position „0“ = Refrigeration off Position „1“ = Warmest interior tem-
perature Position „6“ = Coldest interior temperature
1. Plug the mains plug into the mains socket.
2. Set the required temperature by turning the temperature regulator.
The inside light goes on. The compressor starts and then runs automa­tically.
Note: When the setting is changed, the compressor does not start immediately if automatic defrosting is currently taking place.
Goods to be refrigerated can be loaded immediately after switching on, because the storage temperature in the refrigerator is quickly reached.
Note: From a food science point of view, +5 °C should be considered cold enough as a storage temperature.
The following effects are of significance in respect of the interior tem­perature: – Ambient temperature; – Quantity and temperature of the food stored; – Frequency with which the door is opened and how long it is left
open.
– A defect in the appliance. The temperature regulator setting may therefore need to be adjusted
to suit the specific conditions.

Starting up and temperature regulation
Switching off the appliance
1. To switch off the appliance, turn the temperature regulator to position "0". The inside light goes out.
If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period:
1. Switch off the appliance by turning the temperature regulator to posi­tion "0". The inside light goes out.
2. Remove the mains plug or switch off or disconnect from the electricity supply.
3. Clean thoroughly (see section: “Cleaning and Maintenance”).
4. Leave the door open to avoid the build up of odours.
Recommended settings:
Examples:
3. If you want a higher or lower temperature, turn the temperature regu­lator to a warmer or cooler setting respectively.
Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold set­ting on the temperature regulator (position"5" to "6") can cause the compressor to run continuously. Reason: when the ambient temperature is high, the compressor must run continuously to maintain the low temperature in the appliance. The fridge will not be able to defrost since automatic defrosting of the fridge is only possible when the compressor is not running (see also "Defrosting" section). The result is the build up of a thick layer of frost on the fridge rear wall. If this happens, turn the temperature regulator back to a warmer set­ting (position “4” to “5”). At this setting the compressor will be switched on and off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced.

Interior Accessories
Storage shelves
Various glass storage shelves are included with your appliance. The height of the storage shelves can
be adjusted:
1. To do this pull the storage shelf for­ward until it can be swivelled upwards or downwards and removed.
2. Please do the same in reverse to insert the shelf at a different height.
Adjustment for tall goods (not for all models):
Slide the front half of the Vario stor­age shelf in another level to the rear. By this means you will gain space to place tall items on the storage shelf below.
Variable Inner Door
The door compartments can be pulled up and removed, and inserted at other positions as needed.
Page 13
Correct storage
For physical reasons, there are dif­ferent temperature regions in the fridge. The coldest region is on the lowest storage shelf. Warmer regions are the top storage shelf, the vegetable drawer and the stor­age compartments on the door. The arrangement example shows at which places in the refrigerator suitable temperatures for various types of foods exist.
Tip: Food in the fridge should always be covered or packaged, to prevent drying and tainting of other food.
The following are suited for packaging: – Polyethylene airtight bags and wraps;
– Plastic containers with lids; – Special plastic covers with elastic; – aluminium foil.
30
Defrosting
The fridge defrosts automatically
The rear wall of the fridge covers with frost when the compressor is running, and defrosts when the compressor is off. The water from the thawing frost is collected in the drain channel on the rear of the fridge, feed through the drain hole into the collector on the compressor, and then evaporated. The water drainage hole must be cleaned regularly (see the section "Cleaning and Maintenance").
Page 14
31

Regulations, Standards, Guidelines
This appliance was designed for household use and was manufactured in accordance with the appropriate standards. The necessary measures in accordance with appliance safety legislation regulations (GSG), acci­dent prevention regulations for refrigeration appliances (VBG 20) and the regulations of the German Society of Electrical Engineers (VDE) were observed in the manufacture of this appliance. The refrigerant circuit has been checked for leaks.
This appliance is in accordance with the following EU guidelines: – 73/23/EWG dated 19 February 1973 - low voltage guidelines. – 89/336/EWG dated 3 May 1989
(including guideline change notice 92/31/EWG) - EMV guideline – 94/2/EG dated 21.01.1994 - Directive on Energy Labelling – 96/57 EG dated 3.9.1996 - Energy Efficiency Requirements of

Technical terminology
Refrigerant Liquids that can be used to a generate a cooling
effect are known as refrigerants. They have a relatively low boiling-
point, indeed so low, that the warmth from the food stored in the
fridge or freezer can cause the refrigerant to boil and vaporise.
Refrigerant Circuit Closed circulation system that contains the
refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit comprises primarily of an evapora-
tor, a compressor, a condenser and pipe work.
Evaporator The refrigerant is evaporated in the evaporator.
Similar to all other liquids, refrigerant requires heat to evaporate.
This heat is removed from the interior of the appliance, as a result
the interior is cooled. The evaporator is therefore located inside the
appliance or placed in foam immediately behind the inner wall and
thus not visible.
Compressor The compressor looks like a small drum. It is driven
by a built-in electric motor and is mounted on the base of the appli-
ance at the rear. The task of the compressor is to draw in vaporised
refrigerant from the evaporator, to compress it, and to pass it on to
the condenser.
Condenser The condenser normally has the form of a grid. The
refrigerant compressed in the compressor is liquefied in the con-
denser. During this process, heat is released to the surrounding air at
the surface of the condenser. The condenser is mounted on the base
of the appliance.
