Please read this instruction book before using the appliance and retain for
future reference. These warnings are provided in the interests of your safety, ensure you understand them fully before using the appliance.
Intended Use
• The appliance is intended for use in the home. It is suitable for the cooling, freezing and storing of 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 appliance are not permitted for reasons of
safety.
Prior to Initial Start–up
• Check the appliance for transport damage. Under no circumstance should
a damaged appliance be plugged in! In the event of damage, please contact your retailer.
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
• Keep packaging material away from children.
• Please make old appliances unusable prior to disposal. Pull out the mains
plug, cut off the mains cable and remove any locks or catches, to prevent
young children being trapped inside.
• Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or play with the product.

Disposal
Appliance Packaging Information
All materials are environmentally sound.
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 chlorofluo-
rocarbon.
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 - to your new appliance as well.
Warning! Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable.
Remove plug from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any
snap or latch closures, to prevent small children being trapped inside.
• Use an authorised disposal site.
Contact your Local Council or Environmental Health Office to see if there
are facilities in your area to recycle the appliance.

Starting up and temperature regulation
Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water with a little bicarbonate of soda added (5ml to 0,5 litre of water). Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry the appliance thoroughly.
• When the refrigerator compartment door is opened, the internal lighting
is switched on. The temperature control knob is located on the right hand
side of the refrigerator compartment.
Setting “0”: Off.
Setting “1”: Highest temperature, (warmest setting).
Setting “6” (end-stop) : Lowest temperature, (coldest setting).
The exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature
inside the refrigerator depends on:
-the quantity of food stored
-how often the door is opened
The temperatures in the refrigerator compartment and freezer compartment cannot be independently regulated.
If you want to freeze fresh food rapidly, select setting “6”, ensuring that the
temperature in the refrigerator compartment does not drop below 0°C. You
should reset the temperature control knob to setting “3” or “4”, if this does
occur.
As soon as the fresh food placed in the freezer has frozen, return the temperature control knob to “3” or “4”.
Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting on
the temperature regulator (position"5" to "6") can cause the compressor to
run continuously.
If this happens, turn the temperature regulator back to a warmer setting
(position "3" to "4"). At this setting the compressor will be switched on and
off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced.

Control Panel of Freezer Compartment
A. Pilot light (green)
B. Thermostat knob
C. Super control light (yellow)
D. Normal/Super push button
The control panel elements are: the thermostat (B) is also the on/off switch for the freezer compartment.
The green pilot light (A), which comes on when the mains voltage is availble. Switch the temperature regulator knob to a number position, the refrigerating unit automatically operates by system control. The yellow pilot
light (C) comes on when the normal/super push botton is pushed.
Important note: if you operate the fast-freeze switch or adjust the tempe-
rature regulator, it may happen that your appliance’s refrigeration motor
does not start immediately but only after some time. This does not mean
that your appliance has a fault.
Starting Up and Temperature Regulation of
Freezer Compartment
• Turn the temperature regulator (B) in the direction of “1”. The green
pilot light(A) comes on. The freezer motor starts up.
• Push the
Normal/Super push button (D), the yellow light (B) comes on;
Setting “0”: Off.
Setting “1”: Highest temperature, (warmest setting).
Setting “4” (end-stop) : Lowest temperature, (coldest setting).
The exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature
inside the appliance depends on:
- the quantity of food stored
- how often the door is opened
- ambient temperature
21
Positioning
This appliance should only be installed at a location where the ambient
temperature corresponds to the climate classification indicated on the rat-
ing plate, which is located on the inside left of the appliance.
The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each
climate classification.

Reversing the door
The side the door opens can be changed from the right side (factory adjust-
ment) to the left side, if the installation site requires.
Warning! When changing the side the door opens, the appliance must not
be connected to the mains. Remove plug from the mains beforehand.
The appliance should be located in a dry atmosphere, out of direct sunlight
and away from continuous heat and extreme temperature, e.g. not next to
a boiler or radiator, or in a very cold room e.g. an outhouse. If these tem-
peratures are exceeded i.e. warmer or colder, then the appliance may not
operate correctly.
For building-in and door reversal instructions please refer to the relevant
instructions on the following pages.

Quick-freezing
For quick-freezing, push the Normal/Super button (D). The super
control light (C) will then light up.
The Quick-freezing function accelerates the freezing of fresh food
and, at the same time, protects foodstuffs already stored from
undesirable warming.
If this function is not ended manually, the appliance switches off
the Quick-freezing function after 52 hours. The yellow light goes
out.
This function can be ended manually at any time by pressing the
Normal/Super button again. The yellow light goes out.
