SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is intended for domestic use only. It has been
designed for preserving and freezing food.
The following instructions are for your own safety and
should be observed without fail. We can neither be held responsible, nor uphold the guarantee in case of failure to
observe these recommendations, which may Iead to material damage or physical injury.
Your appliance must be installed, fixed if necessary and used in
compliance with the instructions in this operating and installation
instructions manual in order to avoid any damage and /or danger
due to any lack of stability or faulty installation.
If the appliance has been delivered to your home in a horizontal position, stand it upright and then wait 2 hours before
plugging it in. A small amount of oil may have flowed into
the refrigeration circuit, and you must allow time for this to
flow back towards the motor before connecting the
appliance. Failure to do so may damage the appliance.
If you appliance is fitted with wheels, please remember that they
are only designed to assist in small movements. Do not use them
for longer journeys.
Carry out an initial cleaning operation (see the section on lnstalling your appliance) before connecting your appliance to the
electrical supply. Disconnect your appliance prior to performing
any maintenance operation. Grasp the plug directly, instead of
pulling on the power cable.
Do not place bottles or jars containing liquids in the freezer
unless they are only two-thirds full, freezing causes liquids to
expand, which can cause the container to explode.
Do not use any other method than those we recommend in this
manual for speeding up defrosting.
Do not use electrical equipment inside compartments designed
for preserving frozen food unless the manufacturer recommends
otherwise.
Do not let children play with the appliance and keep your pets
well away from it. Worn out appliances must be rendered unusable. Unplug and cut the electric cable flush with the
appliance.Render the door catch unusable or, better still, remove
the door, so as to ensure that no child or animal risks being shut
inside whilst playing.
If a problem arises that you are unable to resolve using the
advice given (see the Ongoing maintenance section), please
contact an official after-sales service or a qualified professional.
Danger:
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
This appliance’s packaging material is recyclable. Help recycle it
and protect the environment by dropping it off in
municipal receptacles provided for this purpose.
Your appliance also contains a great amount of recyclable mate-
rial. It is marked with this label to indicate the used
appliances that should not be mixed with other waste.
This way, the appliance recycling organised by your
manufacturer will be done under the best possible condi-
tions, in compliance with European Directive
2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment.
Contact your town hall or your retailer for the used appliance collection points closest to your home.
We thank you doing your part to protect the environment.
SAVING ENERGY
To reduce your appliance’s electrical consuption:
- Install it in a suitable place (see” lnstallation of your appliance”
section).
- Leave the door open as little as possible. Do not place food that
is still hot in your refrigerator or freezer, particularly in the case of
soups or dishes that release a lot of steam.
- Ensure that you appliance operates optimally by not allowing
too much frost to build up in the freezer (defrost it when the frost
is more than 5-6 mm thick) and clean its condenser periodically
(See the Ongoing maintenance your appliance section).
- Periodically check the door seals and make sure that the doors
close firmly. If they do not, please contact our After-sales service.
In compliance with the Iatest legislation concerning environmental protection, your appliance does not contain any CFC. Instead
it uses a gas called R600a. The exact type of refrigerant used in
your appliance is also clearly indicated on the identification plate
inside your appliance’s refrigerator section, low down on the Iefthand wall.
R600a is a non-polluting gas that does not harm the ozone layer
and whose contribution to the greenhouse effect is virtually zero.
Your appliance’s refrigeration circuit is filled with isobutane refrigerant (R600a), a natural, non-polluting gas that
is, however, inflammable. Ensure that none of the components in your applia nce’s refrigeration circuit have been
damaged during transport or installation. If you detect any
damage, keep your appliance away from flames or any
type of source of heat or combustion and ventilate its location.

WARNINGS ABOUT TEMPERATURE SETTINGS
• Your temperature settings will still be valid during any power failure. Childproof function will be cancelled during power failures.
• Operating your refrigerator in ambient temperatures below
10°C is not recommended for its efficiency.
• The temperature settings should be made by taking into consideration how often the cooler and freezer door is opened and
closed, and how much food is stored in it.
• Do not switch to another adjustment before completing a setting.
• Depending on the ambient temperature, your refrigerator must
operate nonstop up to 24 hours in order to cool down completely
after it is plugged in for the first time. During this period, do not
open the doors of your refrigerator frequently and do not overfill.
• To prevent any damage on the compressor of your refrigerator
when you want to restart your refrigerator after unplugging it or
after a power failure is restored, there is a function which makes
your refrigerator operate after a 5-minute delay. Your refrigerator
will start operating normally after 5 minutes.
When you first switch on the appliance, for starting a suitable cooling, the appliance should work 24 hours continuously until it cools down to sufficient temperature. During
this time do not open the door so often and do not place a
lot of food inside the appliance.

5 USING THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
“COLD ZONE” SYMBOLS (Depending on models)
You will find the symbol opposite in your refrigerator. It clearly shows the location of your
appliance's coldest zone: the temperature here
is + 4°C or less. A temperature indicator here
enables you to check that your refrigerator is working correctly:
TEMPERATURE INDICATOR (Depending on models)
Temperature to set
Correct temperature
Attention:
Prolonged opening of the door will cause the internal temperature to rise. You must therefore read the indicator
within 30 seconds of the door being opened for the reading
to be correct.
Setting the temperature
When putting your appliance into service, set the thermostat to a
medium position. Check the temperature indicator 4 hours after
putting your appliance into service, or after any change in the
thermostat setting, observe the temperature light :
- If the indicator is still black, lower the temperature gradually by
selecting a higher number around the thermostat and checking
the temperature indicator again after 4 hours. Repeat this operation as many times as necessary.
- If the indicator goes green and "OK" is indicated, the temperature in your refrigerator is correctly set.
Advise:
Your refrigerator's internal temperature is closely linked to
the ambient temperature, how frequently the door is opened
and the amount and temperature of the food you have put in
your refrigerator. You must therefore check the temperature
indicator regularly and adjust the setting if necessary, as
explained above.
AIR COOLING SYSTEM: Regulated Cold
Your appliance is equipped with a cold air ventilation system.
A distribution column directs the air to every level, providing a
very homogeneous temperature and avoiding any condensation
forming on the shelves.
PREPARING FOOD FOR THE REFRIGERATOR
Carefully wrap fresh foods: they will then keep their flavour,
colour, humidity content and freshness. You also avoid the taste
of some foods contaminating the taste of others. Only vegetables, fruit and salad vegetables can be stored in the vegetable
compartment without being packed. Let hot dishes and drinks
cool down outside the appliance. Remove the cardboard packs
from around yoghurt pots. Check the consume-by dates on the
products you have bought. You should not exceed these.
ARRANGING FOOD IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR
The temperature inside your refrigerator is not uniform. Some
areas are colder than others and you must store your food in the
appropriate areas according to their type to ensure that they can
be kept safely.
Leave a space between the food items to allow the air to circulate freely and avoid different products contaminating each other.
Do not put packages and food in contact with the wall at the back
of the appliance, this is a particularly cold and damp area of the
appliance and water droplets and frost condense there as part of
your refrigerator's normal operation.
The coldest area, indicated by the logo, is designed for delicate,
sensitive and highly perishable food: meat, poultry, fish, cooked
meats, prepared dishes, ready-made salads, egg or creambased dishes and pastries, fresh pasta, pastry, pizza/quiches,
fresh produce and raw milk cheese, ready-to-use vegetables
sold in plastic bags and, more generally, any fresh product
whose consume-by date is linked to its storage at a temperature
of +4°C or below.
AUTOMATIC DEFROSTING
The refrigerator section of your appliance defrosts fully automatically. The water created by defrosting flows to a collection tank
situated over the motor.
The heat the motor releases evaporates the contents of this
tank. It is quite normal for droplets of water or frost to appear on
the wall at the back of your refrigerator. This is a particularly cold
and damp area in your appliance and water droplets and frost
condense out as part of your appliance's normal operation. This
frost is removed regularly during your refrigerator's automatic
defrosting phases.

ACCESSORIES
Your refrigerator has been designed to make arranging food in it
easily. You can adjust the shelves and the racks to suit your
wishes.
•
Chillier compartment : “Maxi Fresh”
The MAXI-FRESH compartment is recommended for
storing fish and meat.
• Vegetable drawer and vegetable drawer shelf
The crisper compartment absorbs and decomposes ethylene
gas (*) emitted from fruits and vegetables thanks to a “FILTER”
in the crisper shelf, keeping fruits and vegetables fresh.
The filter also eliminates unpleasant odours from inside the crisper, and control the excess water released by the vegetables,
maintaining a high humidity environment inside the crisper.
When the crisper shelf become dirty, remove the filter by taking
out the filter cover and wash the crisper cover with water.
Attention:
Do not wash the “Humidity-Control Filter” with water.
Note (*) :
Ethylene gas is a gas, produced from fruits and vegetables,
which accelerates the ageing of fruits and vegetables. For example, spinach and broccoli turn to yellow colour easily in places
where ethylene gas is abundant.
REMOVING THE VEGETABLE DRAWER SHELF
(Concerns model 76cm width)
First step:
Remove the vegetable drawer
• it is easy to pull out the drawers as they have rollers.
• Pull the drawers out as far as
possible and pull the front part
up and out.
Second step:
Take out the partition drawer
center between the drawers.
• Bend the partition toward left
from the bottom of the part.
• Take out the partition crisper.
Third step:
Take out the vegetable drawer
shelf
• Pull out the shelf until the
nails of the shelf come on the
cavities (right and left side) of
the cabinet.
• When the nails come in the
cavity, pull up and take out the
shelf.

FROZEN AND DEEP- FROZEN FOOD
Your domestic appliance enables you to freeze food, it lowers its
core temperature rapidly and you can therefore keep it longer.
Deep-freezing is an industrial process that is quicker and more
intense that domestic freezing. The products you purchase from
the shops are deep-frozen.
PREPARING FOOD FOR FREEZING
Attention:
Freezing does not sterilise. It is therefore important to
observe some simple hygiene rules when preparing your
food for freezing: wash your hands before you touch the
food and clean the kitchen tools you have just used before
using them again.
Only freeze fresh, good quality food. Refer to the table "Food
Freezing Guide" to know which products you can freeze and how
long youcan keep them.
Blanch fruit and vegetables before freezing them to preserve
their colour, smell, taste and vitamins: plunge them in boiling
water for few moments.
Divide the food you wish to freeze into small individual portions
corresponding to one meal each. Small portions freeze quicker
at their core.
Pack the food hermetically so that they do not lose their flavour
or dry up. Use plastic bags, polyethylene film, aluminium foil or
special freezer containers for this. If you are using plastic bags,
compress them to eliminate the air before sealing them hermetically.
Attention:
Do not place bottles or jars containing liquids in the freezer
unless they are only two-thirds full: freezing causes liquids
to expand, which can cause the container to explode.
Note on each package:
-The freezing date
-The consume-by date
-The type of food contained
-The number of portions contained
If you are purchasing deep-frozen food, pick it up last when you
are shopping.
Check that: :
- The packaging isn't damaged
- They are not covered in a layer of frost (which means that they
have partially defrosted)
Pack them in an isothermic bag or in newspaper. Transport them
quickly and store them immediately. Comply with the maximum
storage dates shown on the pack. Your appliance has a **** freezer compartment, this enables you to keep deep-frozen food in
an optimal manner.

FOOD FREEZING GUIDE
Fruits
Fruit must be covered with sugar or syrup, as appropriate. The
amount of sugar to use is around 250g for 1 kilo of fruit. Syrups
are used in varying percentages; these are prepared by boiling
sugared wa- ter. The various concentrations are as follows:
•30% solution, 450g of sugar per litre of water;
•40% solution, 650g of sugar per litre of water;
•50% solution, 800g of sugar per litre of water;
So that the fruit's colour does not change, place it in lemon juice
before covering it with sugar or pour lemon juice into the syrup.
The receptacles for the fruit to be frozen must remain in the refrigerator for one hour before being re-inserted into the freezer.
The fruit must be completely covered in syrup
Bread
This can be kept for 2 months. Defrost in an oven set to 50°C,
switching it on after inserting the bread.
Butter and cheese
Freeze butter and cheese by dividing them up into pieces for
weekly consumption. Butter and hard cheese (e.g. Parmesan)
can be kept for 8 months, other cheese 4 months. They must
be defrosted in the refrigerator, keeping an eye on the condensation that forms on these products.
ARRANGING FOOD IN YOUR FREEZER
D
o not put fresh food next to food that has already been frozen
to avoid causing the frozen food to warm up.
Information:
The maximum weight of food that you can freeze over 24
hours is shown on the information plate (inside your
appliance's refrigerator section near the bottom of the lefthand wall) under the heading: "CAPACITE DE CONGELATION/FREEZING CAPACITY (kg/24h)".
SUPER FREEZE :“SPEED FREEZER”
• Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze home cooking (and fresh
foods ) more quickly because of the freezing room’s greater freezing power.
• For opening the shelf pull the cover up, and slide it in to the
compartment. You can close it in the same way.
• Be sure that the cover of fast freezing shelf is closed before
closing the compartment door. If not, it can not show its fast
freezing power.
Information:
The food must be frozen right through as quickly as possible in order to preserve its vitamins, its nutritional value, its
appearance and its taste.

ICE MAKER : “TWIST ICE”
• T
ake out the ice making tray
• Fill the water in level of line.
• Place the ice making tray in its original position
• When ice cubes are formed, twist the handle to drop off ice
cubes into the icebox.
Attention:
Do not fill the icebox with water in order to make ice. It can
be broken.
DEFROSTING FOOD
You can defrost food in five different ways:
- By putting them in your appliance's refrigerator section for
several hours
- By leaving them to defrost gently at ambient temperature
- In a conventional oven at a very low temperature (40/50°C)
- In a microwave oven
- By cooking them immediately
Defrosting them in the refrigerator is the slowest but safest
method.
Attention:
Never refreeze food once it has defrosted, even partially,
without cooking it first.
We would advise you not to place any items you have just
taken out of the freezer straight into your mouth (ice cream,
ice cubes, etc.), they will be at a very low temperature and
you risk frostbite. Avoid touching frozen or deep-frozen
food with wet hands; you may stick to the food. We recommend that you only defrost food for immediate use.
AUTOMATIC FREEZER DEFROSTING
• Defrosting occurs fully automatically during operation; the
defrost water is collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.
• The evaporating tray should be cleaned periodically to prevent the water from collecting on the bottom of the refrigerator.

CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE
Attention:
Disconnect your appliance prior to performing any maintenance operation. Grasp the plug directly, instead of pulling
on the power cable.
We recommend that you clean and disinfect your appliance
regularly for improved hygiene and to keep your food completely
safe.
Remove all the food from the freezer. Place it in isothermic bags
or wrap it in newspaper and store it in a cool place.
Clean your appliance inside and out with a bicarbonate of soda
solution (1 dessertspoon of bicarbonate to 4 litres of water). Do
not use alcohol, scouring powder or detergents, which could
damage the surfaces.
Danger:
Do not use a high-pressure steam cleaner. The very hot
steam could damage the surfaces and the electrical circuits;
you would expose yourself to a risk of electrocution.
Don't forget to clean the condenser from time to time: this is at
the back of the appliance. Use a dry paintbrush to do this or, better yet, your vacuum cleaner.
Reconnect your appliance, and adjust the refrigerator's thermostat if necessary, as shown in the section on "Adjusting your refrigerator's temperature Wait 3/4 of an hour before placing the food
back in your appliance.
To keep your appliance in good working order, we recommend
that you use Clearit household products.
Clearit offers you professional products and adapted solutions
for the daily upkeep of your household and kitchen appliances.
You may find them in conventional retail outlets, along with a
complete line of by-products and consumables.
CHANGING THE LIGHT BULB
Attention:
Disconnect your appliance before proceeding.
1. Unplug the appliance from the power supply.
2. Remove the refrigerator light cover with a small screw driver,
and take out the cover (A).
3. Change the present light bulb with a new one of not more
than 15 W (B).

NORMAL OPERATING NOISES
So that the selected temperature remains constant, your appliance regularly switches off its motor. The resultant noises are quite
normal operating noises. They reduce automatically as soon as your freezer reaches the desired temperature. These noises are as
follows:
INCONVENIENCES OR MINOR BREAKDOWNS
Certain problems may appear when you are using your appliance. Before calling the after-sales service, use the guide below to
see if you can resolve the problem yourself:
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE DEPARTMENT
If you have already performed the indicated checks and your problem still persists, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MAKE ANY
REPAIRS YOURSELF. Contact your nearest Technical Assistance Department.
Any work on your appliance must be performed by a Brandt-accredited qualified professional. When you call, please
mention the complete reference for your machine (model, type, serial number): this information is provided on your guarantee certificate and the information plate on your appliance.
ORIGINAL SPARE PARTS: when any maintenance work is being performed, ask that only certified original sp
are parts
be used.
PROBLEM ADVICE
Unusual noises - Check the adjustement of the feet of your appliance and its stability.
- Check that it is not touching a wall.
- Check that all the movable parts (trays, racks, etc..) are securely in place.
The fridge and freezer does not
get cold enough
- Check that the temperature is correctly set as indicated in the section on
“Adjusting the temperature”.
- If you have put a large amount of foor in your fridge or freezer at one time,
ensure that you readjust the temperature as shown in the section on “Adjusting
the temperature”.
- Be careful not to open your appliance’s door too often, and not to leave it
open.
Your appliance does not get cold
at all
- Check that your appliance is connected to the electrical supply.
-Check that the circuit-breaker for your house has not cut out and that the fuse
has not blown or been unscrewed
Frost forms inside your appliance - Be careful not to open your appliance’s door too often and not to leave it
open.
Certains foods do not freeze completely
-This is quite normal for food that contains a lot of sugar, fat or alcohol not to
freeze completely and to remain partially soft (ice cream, fruit juice,etc.).
Frozen meat has white streaks - Check that your temperature is correctly set and is not at too low temperature
(see the section on “Setting your freezer’s temperature”).
- Check that you haven’t kept this meat too long in the freezer using the table
you will find in the “Food Freezing Guide” section.
The door is difficult to open - It is normal for the door to offer some resistance to being opened, particularly
when you have just shut it: a slight underpressure forms in your appliance to
ensure the door seals perfectly. AIl you have to do is wait a few seconds before
re-opening.
The light does not work - check that your appliance is connected to the electrical supply.
- check that the circuit-breaker for your house has not cut out and that the fuse
has not blown or been unscrewed.
- check that the bulb has not burnt out, and refer to the section "changing the
light bulb".
NOISE CAUSE
Buzzing Coming from the motor.This buzzing may briefly be louder when the motor starts.
Gargling or slight buzzing Coming from circulation of the refrigerant in your freezer’s pipes
Clicks These can always be heard when the electronic card turns the motor on or off.
