Observe ambient temperature and ventilation

Ambient temperature

The appliance is designed for a specific climatic class. Depending on the climatic class, the appliance can be operated at the following room temperatures.

The climatic class can be found on the rating plate, Fig. 9.

Climatic class Permitted ambient

temperature SN +10 °C to 32 °C N +16 °C to 32 °C ST +16 °C to 38 °C T +16 °C to 43 °C

Ventilation

Fig. 2 The air on the rear panel and on the side

panels of the appliance heats up. Conduction of the heated air must not be obstructed. Otherwise, the refrigerating unit must work harder. This increases power consumption. Therefore: Never cover or block the ventilation openings!

Connecting the appliance

Before switching on the appliance for the first time, clean the interior of the appliance (see chapter “Cleaning the appliance”).

Electrical connection

The socket must be near the appliance and also freely accessible following installation of the appliance.

The appliance complies with the protection class I. Connect the appliance to 220–240 V/50 Hz alternating current via a correctly installed socket with protective conductor. The socket must be fused with a 10 to 16 A fuse.

For appliances operated in nonEuropean countries, check whether the stated voltage and current type match the values of your mains supply match the values of the mains supply. This information can be found on the rating plate. Fig. 9

ã=Warning

Never connect the appliance to electronic energy saver plugs.

Our appliances can be used with mains and sine-controlled inverters. Mainscontrolled inverters are used for photovoltaic systems which are connected directly to the national grid. Sine-controlled inverters must be used for isolated applications (e.g. on ships or in mountain lodges) which are not connected directly to the national grid.

After installing the appliance, wait at least 1 hour until the appliance is switched on. During transportation the oil in the compressor may have flowed into the refrigeration system.

Installation location

Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room. The installation location should neither be exposed to direct sunlight nor near a heat source, e. g. a cooker, radiator, etc. If installation next to a heat source is unavoidable, use a suitable insulating plate or observe the following minimum distances to a heat source:

■ 3 cm to electric or gas cookers.

■ 30 cm to an oil or coal-fired cooker.

Appliances with fitted handles must be situated at least 55 mm from the wall on the hinge side so that the door can be opened by 90°.

Changing over the door hinges

We recommend that you have the door hinges changed over by our customer service.

Before changing over the hinges, pull out the mains plug or disconnect the fuse.

Aligning the appliance

Place the appliance in the designated location and align. The appliance must be level. If the floor is uneven, use the front height-adjustable feet. Adjust the height-adjustable feet with a wrench.

Switching on the appliance

Switch on the appliance with the On/Off button. Fig. 1/1

The appliance begins to cool. Light is switched on when the door is open.

The factory has recommended the following temperatures:

■ Refrigerator compartment: +4 °C

■ Freezer compartment: –18 °C

Operating tips

■ When the appliance has been

switched on, it may take several hours until the set temperatures have been reached.

■ The fully automatic No Frost system

ensures that the freezer compartment remains free of ice. Defrosting is no longer required.

■ The sides of the housing are

sometimes heated slightly. This prevents condensation in the area of the door seal.

■ If the freezer compartment door

cannot be immediately re-opened after it has been closed, wait until the resulting low pressure has equalised.

Setting the temperature

Turn temperature controller, Fig. 1/5, to the required setting.

When the controller is at a medium setting, the temperature drops to approx. +4 °C in the coldest zone. Fig. 1/5

Higher settings lower the temperature in the refrigerator compartment.

We recommend:

■ Perishable food should not be stored

above +4 °C.

■ Low setting for short-term

storage of food (energy-saving mode).

■ Medium setting for long-term storage

of food.

■ Select a higher setting only

temporarily, when the door is frequently opened or large quantities are placed in the refrigerator compartment.

Freezer compartment

The temperature can be set from –16 °C to –24 °C.

Keep pressing temperature selection button 2 until the required freezer compartment temperature is set. The value last selected is stored.

The set temperature is indicated on display 3.

We recommend a factory setting of –18 °C in the freezer compartment.

Usable capacity

Informationontheusable capacity can be found inside your appliance on the rating plate.

Refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator compartment is the ideal storage location for ready meals, cakes and pastries, preserved food, condensed milk, hard cheese, fruit and vegetables sensitive to cold as well as tropical fruit.

Note when loading products

When storing food, comply with the following:

■ Wrap or cover food before placing in

the appliance. This will retain the aroma, colour and freshness of the food. In addition, flavours will not be transferred between foods and the plastic parts will not become discoloured.

■ Allow warm food and drinks to cool

down before placing in the appliance.

■ Do not block air outlet openings with

food in the refrigerator compartment, otherwise the air circulation will be impaired.

Food which is stored directly in front of the air outlet openings may be frozen by the cold air flowing out.

Freezer compartment

Use the freezer compartment

■ To store deep-frozen food.

■ To make ice cubes.

■ To freeze food.

Note

Ensure that the freezer compartment door has been closed properly. If the door is open, the frozen food will thaw. The freezer compartment will become covered in thick ice. Also: waste of energy due to high power consumption!

Max. freezing capacity

Information about the max. freezing capacity within 24 hours can be found on the rating plate (see chapter “Customer service”).

Freezing and storing food

Purchasing frozen food

■ Packaging must not be damaged.

■ Use by the “use by” date.

■ Temperature in the supermarket

freezer must be –18 °C or lower.

■ If possible, transport deep-frozen food

in an insulated bag and place quickly in the freezer compartment.

en Storing frozen food

If a lot of food is to be placed in the freezer compartment, you can remove the flap from the upper area of the freezer compartment and the intermediate shelf.

To prevent poor air circulation in the appliance, do not stack food above the stacking limit.

Freezing fresh food

Freeze fresh and undamaged food only. To retain the best possible nutritional

value, flavour and colour, vegetables should be blanched before freezing. Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and asparagus do not require blanching.

Literature on freezing and blanching can be found in bookshops.

Note

Keep food which is to be frozen away from food which is already frozen.

■ The following foods are suitable for

freezing: Cakes and pastries, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without shells, dairy products such as cheese, butter and quark, ready meals and leftovers such as soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and desserts.

■ The following foods are not suitable

for freezing: Types of vegetables, which are usually consumed raw, such as lettuce or radishes, eggs in shells, grapes, whole apples, pears and peaches, hard-boiled eggs, yoghurt, soured milk, sour cream, crème fraîche and mayonnaise.

Packing frozen food

To prevent food from losing its flavour or drying out, place in airtight containers.

1. Place food in packaging.

2. Remove air.

3. Seal the wrapping.

4. Label packaging with contents and date of freezing.

Suitable packaging:

Plastic film, tubular film made of polyethylene, aluminium foil, freezer containers. These products are available from specialist outlets.

Unsuitable packaging:

Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cellophane, bin liners and used shopping bags.

Items suitable for sealing packaged food:

Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, coldresistant adhesive tape, etc.

Bags and tubular film made of polyethylene can be sealed with a film heat sealer.

Super freezing

Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible in order to retain vitamins, nutritional value, appearance and flavour.

To prevent an undesirable temperature rise when placing fresh food in the freezer compartment, switch on super freezing several hours beforehand. As a rule, 4–6 hours is adequate.

If the max. freezing capacity is to be used, super freezing must be switched on for 24 hours before the fresh produce is placed in the freezer compartment.

Smaller quantities of food (up to 2 kg) can be frozen without “super freezing”.

Note

When super freezing is switched on, increased operating noises may occur.

Switching on and off

Fig. 1 Press “super” button 4. If the super freezing has been switched
