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, freezing and storing 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 refrigerator are not permitted for reasons of safety.
• If you use the refrigerator in a commercial application or for purposes 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.
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!
31
Page 6
Safety
• Please make old appliances unusable prior to disposal. Pull out the
mains plug, cut off the mains cable, break or remove spring or bolt
catches, 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.
• 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, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the refrigerator.
• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer compartment.
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 compartment. Exception: high alcohol content spirits can be stored in the freezer compartment.
• Do not put ice creams or ice cubes in the mouth immediately after
removal from the freezer compartment. Very cold ice can freeze to
the lips or tongue and cause injury.
• Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze to
the food.
• Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigerator (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.
32
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.
1
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.
• Information concerning collection schedules or locations can be
obtained from the local disposal authorities or town hall.

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 corre-
sponds 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:
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.
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.
35
Page 10
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...“).
Power supply
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).
0 Before initial start-up, refer to the appliance serial 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.
36
The mains cable may only be changed by a qualified electrician. If your
appliance needs repairing, please contact our Customer Service.

The temperature regulator is also the ON/OFF switch.
The large oval switch beside the temperature regulator is the light
switch. When the door is opened and closed, the light switch switches
the interior lighting on and off.
A coin in needed to turn the temperature regulator. This makes it is
more difficult to change the temperature setting accidentally (child
protection).
38
The temperature regulator setting shown means: Refrigeration off.
Turn in the direction of "1":
Refrigeration on, the compressor starts and then runs auto-
matically.
Position "1" means:
Highest interior temperature (warmest setting)
Position "4" means:
Lowest interior temperature (coldest setting)
Page 13
Initial use
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.
The following temperature settings can therefore only be considered as
recommendations that may well need to be adapted to suit your particular situation.
Recommended settings:
a) For normal refrigeration without using the freezer compartment:
– Position "1" to "2";
– If lower temperatures are required, position "2" to "3".
b) When frozen foods are stored in the freezer compartment or fresh
food is to be frozen, a temperature setting of between "2" and "4"
should be selected, depending on the ambient temperature.
At the setting given under b) the fridge has an average tempera-
Note:
ture of approx. +5 °C; the average temperature in the freezer compartment is then approx. –18 °C or colder. These figures apply at ambient
temperatures from +16 °C to +32 °C.
At higher ambient temperatures, fresh food is properly frozen with the
regulator set to "2" to "3", without the fridge becoming too cold.
Turn the temperature regulator to the desired setting with the aid of a
0
coin.
The compressor starts and then runs automatically.
Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting on the temperature regulator (position"3" to "4") 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 "2" to "3"). At this setting the compressor will be switched on and off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced.

Interior Accessories
Storage shelves
Your appliance is equipped with one full size and two half size glass
storage shelves.
0 If possible, please slide the full size glass storage shelf into the lowest
set of guides, above the vegetable basket and the serving tray.
The height of the storage shelves
can be adjusted:
0 To do this pull the storage shelf
forward until it can be swivelled
upwards or downwards and removed.
0 Please do the same in reverse to
insert the shelf at a different
height.
Storing tall items:
0 Slide the half size glass storage
shelf in the upper or middle level
to the rear. By this means you will
gain space to place tall items on
the storage shelf below.
The small plastic storage shelf at the base of the rear wall of the fridge
is also useful for storing items.
Variable door interior
Depending on your requirements,
the storage compartments on the
door can be removed sideways
and repositioned in a different
place.
41
Page 16
Vegetable basket and serving tray
There is a vegetable basket in the
base of the appliance, this is
covered with a serving tray made

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.
Food in the fridge should always be covered or packaged, to pre-
Tip:
vent 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.

Page 17
Freezing and storing frozen food
The freezer compartment is for freezing and storing food.
Important!
• The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18 °C or col-
der before freezing food or storing food already frozen.
• Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will
cause increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
• Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into
meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
0 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!
freeze to the food.
0 Lay the packaged food on the floor of the freezer compartment. Unfro-
zen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the frozen
food could begin to defrost.
Tips:
• The following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods:
– freezer bags and polyethylene wraps;
– special cans for frozen goods;
– extra–thick aluminium foil.
• The following are suitable for sealing bags and wrap:
plastic clips, rubber bands or tape.
• Smooth the air out of the bag before sealing; air makes it easier for
the frozen food to dry out.
• Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly.
• Do not fill cans for frozen goods to the brim with liquid or paste–like
goods, because liquids expand during freezing.
Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could
Note for inspection authorities:
Batch plans for the determination of freezing performance or warm-up
time can be requested directly from the manufacturer.

Important!
compartment using pointed or sharp edged objects. Use a spoon handle
or similar.
Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer
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 collection
compartment in the base, and then evaporated.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
44
During use and when the freezer compartment door is opened, moisture is deposited in the freezer compartment as frost. Remove this
frost from time to time with a soft plastic scraper, e.g. a pastry scraper.
Under no circumstances use hard or pointed objects to remove frost.
The freezer compartment should always be defrosted when the layer of
frost has reached a thickness of approx. 4 millimetres; however at least
once a year. A good time for defrosting is when the appliance is empty
or contains only little food.
Warning!
1
• Do not use electrical heating appliances or any other mechanical or
artificial devices to speed up the defrosting process, with the excep-
tion of those recommended in these operating instructions.
• Do not use defrosting sprays, they can be hazardous to your health
and/or contain substances that damage plastics.
Page 19
Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could
freeze to the food.
0 Remove frozen food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and store it,
covered, in a cool place.
0 Switch off the appliance and unplug it, or pull the fuse or switch off
the circuit breaker.
Tip: You can speed up the defrosting process by placing a pan with hot
water in the freezer compartment and closing the doors. Remove pieces
of ice that have fallen before they completely defrost.
0 After defrosting, thoroughly clean the freezer compartment ( see "Cle-
aning and Care" section).
Cleaning and Care
For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly.
Warning!
1
• 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 accu-
mulate 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.
45

Energy Saving Tips
2
• 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.

Noises during Operation
The following noises are characteristic of refrigeration appliances:
• Clicks
Whenever the compressor switches on or off, a click can be heard.
• Humming
As soon as the compressor is in operation, you can hear it humming.
• Bubbling/Splashing
When refrigerant flows into thin tubes, you can hear bubbling or
splashing noises. Even after the compressor has been switched off,
this noise can be heard for a short time.

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 refri-
gerant 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 elec-
tric 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 com-
pressed 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.
