Disposal of your old
appliance
When replacing your old appliance with a
new one, please comply with the
following:
Immediately render your old appliance
unusable. Pull out the mains plug and cut off
the power cord. To prevent children from
locking themselves in the refrigerator and
suffocating, remove or destroy spring locks
and deadlocks.
Refrigerators and freezers contain insulation
gases and refrigerant which must be
disposed of properly. They also contain
valuable raw materials which can be
recycled. Therefore, enlist the aid of your
municipal disposal centre. Please enquire at
your local authority or ask your dealer about
current means of disposal. Please ensure
that the refrigeration tubing is not damaged
prior to its proper disposal.
Disposal of packaging
from your new appliance
All packaging materials are environmentally
friendly and recyclable. The cardboard
packaging consists of 80–100 % wastepaper. Wooden components have not been
chemically treated.
The plastic film is made of polyethylene (PE),
the tapes are made of polypropylene (PP)
and the CFC-free packing is made of
foamed polystyrene (PS). These materials
are pure hydrocarbon compounds and are
recyclable.
Reclaiming and recycling packaging
conserves raw materials and the volume of
waste.
In the Federal Republic of Germany you can
return the packaging for recycling to the
dealer from whom you purchased the
appliance. Addresses of recycling centres
which dispose of old appliances can be
obtained from your local authority. Please
contribute to a better environment by
disposing of packaging materials in an
environmentally-friendly manner.

Siting
The appliance must be stand firmly and level
on the floor. Use the two front heightadjustable feet to compensate for an uneven
floor.
Electrical connection
Connect the appliance only to 220–240 V/
50 Hz alternating current via a correctly
installed earthed socket. The socket must
be fused with a fuse ≥10 A.
If the appliance is to be operated in a nonEuropean country, check on the rating plate
whether the supply voltage and current type
correspond with the values of your mains
supply. The rating plate is located in the
upper left-hand side of the refrigerator
compartment (Figure
D
).
The mains connection cable may be
replaced only by an electrician.
Ventilation
The heated air must be able to escape
through the rear of the appliance. If the air
flow is obstructed, the refrigerating unit must
work harder which increases the power
consumption. Therefore, NEVER cover the
ventilation slots (Fig. 3).
Following delivery ...
The appliance can be switched ON
immediately.
Siting the appliance
Note the ambient
temperature
The appliance can be operated at the
following ambient temperatures depending
on the “climatic category” (see rating plate).
(The rating plate can be found inside the
appliance at the upper left-hand side.
Fig.
D
).
Climatic Ambient temperature
category from ... to
SN +10 °C to +32 °C
N +16 °C to +32 °C
ST +18 °C to +38 °C
T +18 °C to +43 °C
If the ambient temperature drops below the
lower ambient-temperature range, the
running time of the refrigerating unit is
reduced. As a result, the freezer compartment does not drop to a sufficiently low
temperature. In extreme cases frozen foods
can thaw.
Appliances which feature an ambienttemperature switch (Fig. 2/A) can be
operated below an ambient temperature of
+18 °C when the switch is ON.
When the switch is ON, the red mark is
visible. (Fig. 2/A)
Site
Site the appliance in a dry, well ventilated
room, but NOT in direct sunlight and NOT
near a heat source, e.g. cooker, radiator, etc.
If installation next to a heat source is
unavoidable, use a suitable insulating plate
or comply with the following minimum
distances to the heat source.
3 cm to an electric cooker.
30 cm to a coal-fired cooker.
If the appliance is installed next to another
refrigerator or freezer, observe a minimum
distance of 2 cm to prevent condensation.

en
Switching OFF the
appliance
To switch OFF the refrigeration and light,
turn the temperature selector (Fig. 2/2)
to “O”.
Disconnecting the
appliance
If the appliance is not to be used for a
prolonged period, pull out the mains plug,
clean the appliance and leave the doors
open.
Switching ON the
appliance
Turn the temperature selector in the
refrigerator compartment to “O”. The
appliance begins to cool. The interior light
switches on when the door is opened
(Fig2/2).
Setting the temperature
To set the temperature, turn the temperature
selector to a setting (Fig. 2/2).
The temperature can be adjusted steplessly.
Higher settings result in lower temperatures
in the refrigerator and freezer compartments.
We recommend the following temperature
settings:
– A low setting for short-term storage of
food in the freezer compartment (energysaving mode).
– A medium setting for long-term storage of
food in the freezer compartment and for
freezing fresh food.
Notes
●
The temperature in the refrigerator
compartment is influenced by the
ambient temperature, quantity and
temperature of the freshly stored food
and how often the door is opened. If
required, change the temperature setting.
●
While the refrigerating unit is running,
beads of water or hoarfrost form on the
rear of the refrigerator compartment; this
is quite normal. It is NOT necessary to
scrape off the hoarfrost or wipe off the
beads of water. The rear panel defrosts
automatically. The condensation is
conveyed down the drainage channel
(Fig. 6/4) to the refrigerating unit where it
evaporates.
●
To prevent condensation in the area of
the freezer-compartment door seal, the
sides of the housing are partially heated.

Important information
concerning food
arrangement
● Allow food and drinks to cool down
properly before you place them inside the
refrigerator.
● Whenever possible, food should be
wrapped or covered over before it is
placed in the refrigerator. This ensures that
aroma, colour, moisture and freshness are
retained. In addition, no flavours are
transferred to or from other items. The
only items to remain unpacked should
be vegetables, fruit and salad in the
vegetable containers.
● Make sure that no oil or fat comes into
contact with those parts of the appliance
that are made from plastic or the door seal
(otherwise they could become porous).
● Do not store any substance that could
explode inside the appliance and ensure
that high-proof alcohol is kept upright in
tightly closed containers – explosion
hazard!
● The coldest parts of the main refrigerator
compartment are up against the rear
panel and on the lowest shelf. Place
delicate foodstuffs in either of these
areas.
● Bottles containing liquids that could
freeze should not be placed inside the
freezer compartment. The bottles could
explode when the contents have frozen.

en
These items are not suitable for freezing:
Whole eggs in their shells, sour cream and
mayonnaise, green salads, radishes, horseradish and onions.
Blanching vegetables and fruit
Vegetables and fruit should be blanched
before they are frozen, in order to preserve
their colour, taste, aroma and vitamin C
content. (Vegetables and fruit are blanched
by immersing them briefly in boiling water.
There are many books available in good
book shops that describe blanching
techniques.)
Wrapping food
Divide the products into portions of suitable
size for your household before you place
them in the freezer compartment. Individual
portions of vegetables and fruit should not
weigh more than 1 kg. Portions of meat can
be up to 2.5 kg. Smaller amounts freeze all
the way through more quickly, so that the
best quality is retained when they are
subsequently thawed out and cooked.
Seal food airtight so that it does not lose its
flavour or dehydrate.
Suitable wrapping materials:
Plastic foil, polyethylene tubular film,
aluminium foil and containers suitable for
use in freezers. These products can be
bought from your local retailer.
Unsuitable wrapping materials:
Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper,
cellophane, bin bags and used carrier bags.
Place food in the wrapping, squeeze out any
air and seal it airtight.
Suitable sealing materials:
Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, adhesive
tape or similar items that are resistant to
freezer temperatures. Polyethylene bags and
tubular film can be heat-sealed using a
special sealing press.
Freezer compartment
The freezer compartment is suitable for
storing frozen food, freezing fresh products
and making ice cubes.
Note
If the ambient temperature drops below
+18 ºC, the time that the refrigerating
machine remains in operation is reduced.
The result is that the freezer compartment is
not chilled sufficiently. In extreme cases, this
could lead to frozen food starting to thaw.
Appliances which feature an ambienttemperature switch (Fig. 2/A) can be
operated below an ambient temperature of
+18 °C when the switch is ON.
When the switch is ON, the red mark is
visible. (Fig. 2/A)
Notes on buying frozen
food
● Inspect the packaging; it should not be
damaged in any way.
● Make sure that the “Best before ...” date
has not expired.
● The thermometer on the vendor's freezer
should read –18 °C or colder.
● Ensure that frozen foods are the last
items to be bought. Wrap them in several
layers of newspaper or place them in a
thermo-insulated bag, take them home at
once and place them in the freezer
compartment.
Freezing food at home
If you are going to freeze food yourself, use
only fresh products that are in perfect
condition.
These items are suitable for freezing:
Meat and salami, poultry and venison, fish,
vegetables, herbs, fruit, baked goods, pizza,
ready-to-eat dishes, cooked left-overs, egg
yolks and egg-whites.
Freezing and storing food, making ice cubes
11
en
Before placing food in the freezer, label
each package clearly with the contents
and date of freezing.
Freezing capacity
Food should be frozen right through to the
centre as quickly as possible. This is the
only way to preserve the vitamins, nutritional
value, appearance and flavour. Do not,
therefore, exceed the max. freezing capacity
of your appliance.
(The freezing capacity is 4–7 kg depending
on the appliance model.
The exact freezing capacity of your
appliance is indicated on the rating plate,
Fig. D).
Place the food which is to be frozen over the
whole area of the freezer compartment shelf.
Ensure that food that has already been
frozen does not come into contact with fresh
food about to be frozen.
Setting the temperature
control for freezing and
storing frozen food
Turn the temperature control to one of the
numbered marks at mid-range. (Equates to
–18 ºC or colder inside the freezer compartment).
Note
– When fresh food is placed in the freezer
compartment, the refrigerating machine
continues to operate until the food is
completely frozen. Under certain
circumstances, this can also cause the
temperature to drop inside the main
refrigerator compartment. It should not
normally be necessary, however, to alter
the setting of the temperature control.
Freezing and storing food, making ice cubes
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice tray 3/4-full with cold water and
place it on the bottom of the freezer
compartment. When the ice-cubes are ready
they can easily be removed by simply
twisting the tray (Fig.9).
Storage times
In order to avoid any reduction in the quality
of the frozen food, it is important that the
maximum permissible storage times are not
exceeded. The max. storage time depends
upon the type of foodstuff.
At –18 ºC, fish, salami, ready-to-eat dishes
and bakery products can be stored for up to
4 months, cheese, poultry, meat up to
6 months, and vegetables and fruit up to
8 months.
Thawing frozen food
The following methods can be used to thaw
frozen food, depending on the type of food
and how you intend to use it:
– at room temperature
– inside the main refrigerator compartment
– in an electric oven
– with/without circulating hot air
– in a microwave oven.
Partially or totally thawed products can be
frozen again, provided that the temperature
of meat or fish has not been higher than
3 ºC for longer than one day, and that of
other frozen products for longer than 3 days.
Otherwise, if the flavour, smell and
appearance have remained unchanged,
cook the products thoroughly and then
freeze them again.
Do not apply the max. storage time on the
second occasion.

en
Defrosting aids
To accelerate the defrosting process, place
a pan of hot water on a base on the floor of
the freezer compartment.
NEVER use electric heaters, steam cleaners,
candles or kerosene lamps to defrost the
freezer compartment.
Caution when using defrosting sprays, as
these may form explosive gases and may
contain solvents or propellants which attack
plastic or which are a health hazard.
Refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator compartment defrosts fully
automatically. The condensation collects in
the condensation drainage channel
(Fig.6/4) and is conveyed to the
refrigerating unit where it evaporates.
ALWAYS keep the drainage channel and
drain hole clean, otherwise the condensation
flow may be obstructed.
Defrosting the freezer
compartment
The freezer compartment does not
defrost automatically, as the frozen food
must not thaw. A thick layer of hoarfrost
or ice will impair refrigeration of the frozen
food and increase power consumption.
NEVER scrape off hoarfrost or ice with a
knife, as the freezer-compartment
evaporator could be punctured (Fig. B).
Spurting refrigerant may cause eye injuries
or ignite.
If the freezer compartment is covered in
thick ice, defrost.
Proceed as follows:
● Remove the frozen food, wrap in
newspaper and store in a cool location.
● Remove the mains plug.
● Leave the door open, wipe up the
condensation with a cloth or sponge.
● Dry the freezer compartment, switch ON
the appliance again and re-insert the
frozen food.
Defrosting
13
en
Before cleaning the appliance, ALWAYS
remove the mains plug or switch OFF or
unscrew the fuse.
NEVER clean the appliance with a steam
or steam pressure cleaner. The hot steam
may damage the surfaces and the
electrics.
The electrical safety of the appliance will
be impaired.
Clean the refrigerator compartment once a
month. It is recommended to clean the
freezer compartment after each defrosting
process.
Cleaning water must NOT drip onto the
control fitting or light. Clean the whole
appliance, except the door seal, with tepid
water and a mild, slightly disinfecting
cleaning agent, e.g. liquid soap. Abrasive
and acidic cleaning agents and chemical
solvents are NOT suitable.
To prevent dull areas, non-abrasive cleaning
agents should not be used either.
Wipe the door seal with water only and then
dry thoroughly.
To ensure that the condensation flow is not
obstructed, clean the collection channel
(Fig. 6/4) and drain hole more frequently.
Try to prevent cleaning water from dripping
through the drainage aperture into the
evaporation tray.
Cleaning
● Install the appliance in a cool, well
ventilated room, but NOT in direct
sunlight and NOT near a heat source
(radiator, etc.).
● Do NOT block the ventilation slots on the
appliance.
● Allow warm food to cool down before
placing in the refrigerator.
● To defrost frozen products, place them in
the refrigerator compartment. The low
temperature of the frozen products is
then used to cool the food in the
refrigerator compartment.
● Defrost the freezer compartment when
ice forms. A thick layer of ice will impair
refrigeration of the frozen food and
increase power consumption.
● When inserting or removing food from the
appliance, open and close the doors as
quickly as possible. The briefer the
freezer-compartment door remains open,
the lower the formation of ice in the
freezer compartment.

Eliminating minor faults
yourself
Before you call customer service, please
check whether you can eliminate the fault
yourself based on the following
information.
A technician who is called out for
consultation purposes will charge the
customer, even if the appliance is still
under guarantee.
What to do if ...
... the interior light does not function, but
the refrigerating unit is operating?
Check whether the light switch can be
moved. If it can be moved the incandescent
bulb is defective.
Replacing the incandescent bulb
Remove the mains plug or switch OFF the
fuse for the building electrical system.
Pull the grid forwards (Fig. C/a).
Change the incandescent bulb:
220–240 V, max. 25 W, E14
If the light switch is jammed, call customer
service (Fig. C/b).
... the frozen food is frozen solid?
Loosen the frozen food with a blunt
instrument, e.g. a spoon.
... the freezer compartment is covered in
a thick layer of ice?
Defrost and clean the freezer compartment.
When re-inserting the frozen food, ensure
that the freezer-compartment door is closed
properly.
... the floor of the refrigerator
compartment is wet?
The drain hole of the condensation
collection channel (Fig. 6/4) is probably
blocked. Clear the drain hole with a cotton
bud.
Information on operating
noises
Operating noises
To keep the selected temperature constant,
your appliance occasionally switches ON
the compressor.
The resulting noises are quite normal.
As soon as the appliance has reached the
operating temperature, the noises
automatically reduce in volume.
The humming noise is emitted by the motor
(compressor). When the motor switches ON,
the noise may briefly increase in volume.
The bubbling, gurgling or whirring noise is
emitted by the refrigerant as it flows through
the pipes.
The clicking noise can always be heard
when the thermostat switches ON/OFF the
motor.
An appliance with a fan may cause a low
hissing noise emitted by the air flow inside
the appliance.
If these noises are excessively loud, the
causes are probably not serious and are
usually very easy to eliminate.
The appliance is not level
Please level the appliance with the aid of a
spirit level. Use the height-adjustable feet or
place packing under the feet.
The appliance is not free-standing
Please move the appliance away from
kitchen units or other appliances.
Drawers, baskets or storage
compartments are loose or stick
Please check the removable components
and, if required, refit them.
Bottles and/or receptacles are touching
each other
Please move the bottles and/or receptacles
away from each other.

yourself, having consulted the troubleshooting chapter, please call customer
service. Do NOT attempt to repair the
appliance, in particular the electrical
components! To prevent the temperature
from increasing inside the appliance, do not
open the appliance door unless absolutely
necessary.
The telephone number of customer service
can be found in the enclosed customerservice index or in the telephone directory.
Rating plate
When calling customer service, please quote
the product number (E number) and the
production number (FD number). This
information can be found on the rating plate
situated inside the refrigerator compartment
at the upper left-hand side (Fig.D).
Eliminating minor faults yourself / Customer Service
What to do if ...
... the temperature in the refrigerator
compartment is too cold?
Move the temperature selector to a lower
setting (Fig. 2/2).
Too much fresh food may have been placed
in the freezer compartment. As a result, the
refrigerating unit runs for a very long time
and reduces the temperature in the
refrigerator compartment.
Do NOT exceed the max. freezing capacity;
see rating plate, Fig. D.
... the refrigerating unit is switching ON
more frequently and for longer?
The door was opened frequently or large
quantities of fresh food were placed in the
appliance.
Check whether the ventilation holes in the
base are blocked.
... it is too warm in the freezer
compartment and the frozen food is
thawing?
The temperature of the room in which the
appliance is situated may be colder than
+18 °C. As a result, the refrigerating unit
operates less frequently.

moins 2 cm afin d'éviter la formation de
condensation.
Installation
L'appareil doit reposer sur un sol dur et plan.
Les deux pieds vissables équipant l'avant de
l'appareil permettent de compenser les
défauts de planéité du sol.
Raccordement électrique
Raccordez l'appareil uniquement au secteur
alternatif 220–240 V/50 Hz au moyen d'une
prise secteur à contacts de terre installée
réglementairement. La prise doit être
protégée par un fusible/disjoncteur de 10 A
minimum.
Si l'appareil est utilisé dans un pays non
européen, vérifiez si la tension de branchement et ses caractéristiques indiquées sur
la plaque signalétique concordent avec
celles du secteur. Vous trouverez la plaque
signalétique dans le compartiment
réfrigérateur en haut à gauche (Fig.
D
).
S'il faut changer le cordon d'alimentation de
l'appareil, cette opération est exclusivement
réservée à un spécialiste.
Ventilation
L'air entrant en contact avec la paroi arrière
de l'appareil se réchauffe et doit pouvoir
s'évacuer librement. Sinon le groupe
frigorifique se trouverait sollicité plus
fortement, ce qui augmenterait la
consommation de courant. Pour cette
raison, ne recouvrez en aucun cas les
orifices d'aération (Fig. 3).
Après le transport ...
... vous pouvez mettre l'appareil immédiatement en service.
Installation de l'appareil
Contrôler la température
ambiante
Suivant sa «catégorie climatique», l'appareil
peut fonctionner dans les températures
ambiantes suivantes (voir la plaque
signalétique, elle se trouve en haut à gauche
dans l'appareil, Fig.
D
):
Classe Température ambiante
climatique de ... à
SN +10 °C à 32 °C
N +16 °C à 32 °C
ST +18 °C à 38 °C
T +18 °C à 43 °C
Si la température ambiante descend endessous de la limite inférieure de
température ambiante, le groupe frigorifique
tourne moin longtemps. Cela signifie que le
compartiment congélateur n'est plus
suffisamment refroidi. Dans un cas extrême,
les produits surgelés risquent de dégeler.
Les appareils équipés d'un commutateur de
température ambiante (fig. 2/A) peuvent
fonctionner à une température ambiante
inférieure à +18 °C après enclenchement du
commutateur.
Pour l'enclencher: En position enclenchée,
la marque rouge devient visible. (fig. 2/A)
Lieu d'installation
Pour installer votre appareil, choisissez un
endroit sec et bien aéré. Evitez de placer
l'appareil à un endroit directement exposé
aux rayons solaires ou à proximité d'une
source de chaleur telle une cuisinière, un
radiateur, etc. Si l'installation près d'une
source de chaleur est inévitable, utilisez une
plaque isolante appropriée ou respectez les
distances minimales suivantes:
3 cm par rapport à une cuisinière électrique,
30 cm par rapport à un appareil de
chauffage au fuel ou au charbon.
Si vous placez votre appareil à côté d'un
autre réfrigérateur ou congélateur, laissez
obligatoirement un espace entre eux d'au
(Fig.6/4) qui la conduit au groupe
frigorifique où elle s'évapore.
●
Les parois frontales de l'appareil sont
pour certaines légèrement chauffées, ce
qui empêche la condensation de se
former au niveau du joint du
compartiment congélateur.
Eteindre l'appareil
Ramenez le thermostat (Fig. 2/2) sur la
position «O». Le groupe frigorifique et
l'éclairage du compartiment intérieur
s'éteignent.
Remisage longue durée
de l'appareil
Si l'appareil ne doit pas servir pendant une
assez longue période, débranchez sa fiche
mâle de la prise de courant, dégivrez
l'appareil et nettoyez-le. Laissez la porte
ouverte.
22
fr
Enclencher l'appareil
Dans le compartiment réfrigérateur, tournez
le thermostat pour qu'il quitte la position «O».
L'appareil commence de refroidir. Porte
ouverte, l'éclairage du compartiment
intérieur est allumé (Fig. 2/2).
Régler la température
Pour ajuster la température, réglez le
thermostat sur un chiffre-repère (Fig. 2/2).
La température est réglable en continu.
Plus le chiffre est élevé, plus la température
est basse dans les compartiments
réfrigérateur et congélateur.
Nous recommandons de régler le thermostat
comme suit:
– Sur un chiffre bas si vous voulez ranger
brièvement des aliments dans le
compartiment congélateur
(fonctionnement économiseur d'énergie)
– Sur un chiffre moyen si vous voulez ranger
pendant longtemps des aliments dans le
compartiment congélateur, ou si vous
voulez congeler des denrées fraîches.
Remarques
●
La température régnant dans le
compartiment réfrigérateur est influencée
par la température ambiante, par la
quantité et la température des aliments
que vous venez d'y placer ainsi que par
la fréquence d'ouverture de la porte. Si
nécessaire, modifiez le réglage du
thermostat.
●
Pendant que le groupe frigorifique
marche, des gouttes d'eau ou du givre
apparaissent sur la paroi arrière du
compartiment réfrigérateur, ce
phénomène est normal. Inutile de racler
la couche de givre ou d'essuyer les
gouttes d'eau. La paroi arrière dégivre
automatiquement. L'eau du dégivrage
s'écoule dans la rigole à cet effet
