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.
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.
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
28
Installation
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
2
.
Important note! In order not to impair the
function of the appliance, never cover or
obstruct the ventilation openings.
Models fitted for matching front panel (E-appliances)
Installation option 1 (optimum):
Optimum ventilation of E-appliances is
ensured through fresh air being able to
enter both under the appliance as well as
through an opening in the furniture
plinth. The warmed air must be able to be
exhausted upwards through the air shaft
(min. 200 cm
2
) on the furniture back.
It is necessary to avoid overheating of the refrigerator 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.

Installation
29
Installation option 2:
Operation of E-appliances is possible
even without a ventilation opening in
the furniture plinth. The fresh air able to
enter under the appliance is sufficient
for ventilation. The function and life of
the appliance are not impaired. The warmed air must be able to be exhausted
upwards through the air shaft (min. 200
cm2) on the furniture back. If the appliance is ventilated without a plinth opening, however, the energy consumption
may differ from that specified in the
brochure.
Important note! In order not to impair the function of the appliance,
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
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.
The mains cable may only be changed by a qualified electrician or

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.
EG62
32
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/Storage Racks
Depending on the model, your appliance is equipped with either glass
storage shelves or storage racks. The glass shelf above the fruit and
vegetable compartment must always remain in this position so that
fruit and vegetables stay fresh longer.
The remaining storage shelves can be adjusted to various heights:
☞
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.
Adjustment for tall goods (not for
all models):
☞
Remove the front half of the twopart 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.
Bottle Holder
(not on all models)
On some models there is a bottle holder
in the bottle compartment. This is used to
prevent individual bottles from falling
over and can be slid sideways.
34
Interior Accessories
Moisture regulation (not on all models)
On some models, there is an adjustable air grille in front of the shelf
above the fruit and vegetable compartments.
The opening in the ventilation slots
can be steplessly adjusted with a slider.
Slider in right position: Ventilation
slots opened.
Slider in left position: Ventilation slots closed.
With the ventilation slots open, the stronger air circulation results in a
lower air moisture content in the fruit and vegetable compartments.
When the ventilation slots are closed, the natural moisture content of
the food in the fruit and vegetable compartments is preserved for longer.
Variable Storage Box
(not on all models, design differs depending on the model)
Some models are equipped with a variable storage box which is fitted
under a door shelf compartment and can be slid sideways.
The box can be inserted under
every door shelf compartment.
☞
1. To change, lift the shelf compartment with the box upwards and
out of the holders in the door and
remove the retaining bracket out
of the guide under the shelf compartment.
2. Please do the same in reverse to
insert the shelf at a different
height.
The variable box can be hung from a
storage shelf in the refrigerator compartment:
☞
1. Pull the storage shelf forward until it
can be tipped up or down and removed.
2. Hang the retaining bracket on the taper
on the storage shelf and slide the storage shelf back into the guides.
35
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").
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 basket 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.
36

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 evaporator, 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 appliance 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 condenser. 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.
