Safety and warning
information
Before you switch ON the
appliance
Please read the operating and installation
instructions carefully.They contain
important information on how to install,
use and maintain the appliance.

use or for the next owner.
Technical safety
• This appliance contains a small quantity
of environmentally-friendly but flammable R600a refrigerant. Ensure that the
tubing of the refrigerant circuit is not
damaged during transportation and
installation. Leaking refrigerant may
cause eye injuries or ignite.
If damage has occurred
- Keep naked flames and/or ignition
sources away from the appliance.
- Thoroughly ventilate the room for
several minutes.
- Switch off the appliance and pull out
the mains plug or switch off the fuse.
- Notify customer service.
The more refrigerant an appliance
contains, the larger the room must be.
Leaking refrigerant can form a flammable
gas-air mixture in rooms which are too
small.
The room must be at least 1 m3 per 8 g of
refrigerant. The amount of refrigerant in
your appliance is indicated on the rating
plate inside the appliance.
Only customer service may change
the power cord and carry out any other
repairs. Improper installations and
repairs may put the user at considerable
risk.

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 an electric cooker.
30 cm to an oil or solid-fuel 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°.

Observe ambient
temperature and
ventilation
The climatic class can be found on the
rating plate and indicates the ambient
temperatures at which the appliance can
be operated.
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.
The air on the rear panel of the appliance
heats up. The warm air must be able to
escape. Otherwise, the refrigerator must
work harder. This will increase the power
consumption.
Therefore: Never cover or block
ventilation
openings!
Connecting the
appliance
After installing the appliance, wait at least.
1
/2 hour before switching on the
appliance. During transportation the oil in
the compressor may have flowed into the
refrigeration system.
Before switching on the appliance for the
first time, clean the interior (see Cleaning).
The socket should be freely accessible.
Connect the appliance to 220-240 V/
50 Hz alternating current via a correctly
installed earthed socket. The socket must
be fused with a 10-16 A fuse or higher.
If the appliance is to be operated in a
non-European country, check on the
rating plate whether the indicated
voltage and current type correspond
to the values of your mains supply.
The rating plate is situated in the
bottom left-hand side of the appliance.
The power cord may be replaced by
an electrician only.
Warning
Never connect the appliance
to electronic energy saver plugs or
to power inverters which convert the
direct current to 230 V alternating
current (e.g. solar equipment, power
supplies on ships).

Switching on the
appliance
Press the On/Off button Fig. /1.
The appliance starts refrigerating.
Interior light in refrigerator compartment
is switched on when the door is open.
The appliance left the factory with the
following standard setting:
Refrigerator compartment: + 4 °C
Freezer compartment: - 18 °C
Operating tips
• The fully automatic Nofrost system
ensures that the freezer compartment
and the refrigerator compartment
remain free of ice. Defrosting is no
longer required.
• The sides of the housing are sometimes
heated slightiy. This prevents
condensation in the area of the door
seal.
• The appliance doors have two different
opening angles.
When opening one door, the other door
may move slightiy. This is quite normal
and can be ignored.
• If you cannot open the freezer
compartment door immediately after
closing it, wait 2-3 minutes until the
partial vacuum has equalised.
Selecting the
temperature
Fridge
Rotate temperature selector Fig. /5 to
a setting.
A higher setting lowers the temperature
in the refrigerator compartment.
We recommend:
• for long-term storage of food:
medium controller setting
• select a higher controller setting
set a high controller setting only
temporarily if: door is opened frequently,
large amounts of food are placed in the
refrigerator compartment.
We recommend storing perishable foods
at a temperature not warmer than +4 °C.
A temperature of about +4 °C is reached
when the control is set to a centre
position.
Freezer compartment
The set values can be changed, see
