Safety
The safety aspects of our refrigerators/freezers comply with accepted technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. Nevertheless, we
consider it our obligation to make you aware of the following safety information:
Intended use
• The refrigerator 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 freezer are not permitted for reasons of
safety.
• If you use the refrigerator in a commercial application or for purposes
other than the cooling, freezing or frozen storage of foods, please observe all valid legal regulations for your application.
Prior to initial start–up
• Check the refrigerator for transport damage. Under no circumstance
should a damaged appliance be plugged in! In the event of damage, please
contact the vendor.
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
• Packaging (e.g. wraps, polystyrene) can be dangerous for children. There is
a risk of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from children!
• Please make old appliances unusable prior to disposal. Pull out the mains
plug, cut off the mains cable, break or remove spring or boltcatches, if fitted. By doing this you ensure that children cannot lock themselves in the
5
fridge when playing (there is risk of suffocation!) or get themselves into
other dangerous situations.
• 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.!
Daily Operation
• Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures.
There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flammable materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.
• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer compartment. They can
burst when the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even
explode! Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc. in
the freezer compartment. Exception: high alcohol content spirits can be
stored in the freezer compartment.
• Do not put ice creams or ice cubes in the mouth immediately after removal from the freezer compartment. Very cold ice can freeze to the lips or
tongue and cause injury.
• Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze to the
food.
• Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigerator/freezer (e.g.
electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.).
• Before cleaning the appliance, always switch off the appliance and unplug
it, or pull the house fuse or switch off the circuit breaker.
• When unplugging always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull
on the cable.
In case of malfunction
• If the a malfunction occurs on the appliance, please look first in the "What
to do if ..." section of these instructions. If the information given there
does not help, please do not perform any further repairs yourself.
• Refrigerators/freezers may only be repaired by qualified service engineers.
Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards. If your appliance
needs repairing, please contact your specialist dealer or our Customer Service.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer,
its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Disposal
Appliance Packaging Information
All materials are environmentally sound! They can be dumped or burned at
an incinerating plant without danger!
About the materials: 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 chlorofluorocarbon.
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 - for 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. This eliminates the danger that playing children lock themselves into the appliance (danger of suffocation!) or place themselves into
other life-endangering situations.
Disposal:
• The appliance may not be disposed of with domestic waste or bulky refuse.
• The refrigerant circuit, especially the heat exchanger at the back of the
appliance, may not be damaged.
• The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this
product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical
and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this product. For more detailed information
about recycling of this product, please contact your local city office, your
household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the
product.
Remove transport safeguard
The appliance and the interior fittings are protected for transport.
• Pull off the adhesive tape on the left and right side of the door.
• Remove all adhesive tape and packing pieces from the interior of the
appliance.
7
If the refrigeration appliance is installed next to another refrigerator or freezer a clearance of 5 cm at the sides is required, in order to prevent the formation of condensation on the outside of the appliance.
Important: if the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by manufac-
turer , its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a
hazard.
Installation
Installation Location
The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room.
Energy use is affected by the ambient temperature. The appliance should
therefore
– not be exposed to direct sunlight;
– not be installed next to radiators, or other sources of heat;
– only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature corresponds to
the climate classification, for which the appliance is designed.
The climate classification can be found on the rating plate, which is located at the left on the inside of the appliance.
The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each
climate classification: each climate classification:
Climate classification for an ambient temperature of
SN +10 bis +32 °C
N +16 bis +32 °C
ST +18 bis +38 °C
T +18 bis +43 °C

Shelf holders
Your appliance is equipped with shelf
retainers that make it possible to
secure the shelves during transportation.
To remove them proceed as follows:
Move the shelf retainers in the direc-
tion of the arrow, raise the shelf from
the rear and push it forward until it
is free and remove the retainers.

Temperature setting buttons
The temperature is adjusted using the “C“ (+) and “E“ (-) buttons. These buttons are connected to the temperature display.
• The temperature display is switched over from the display of the ACTUAL
temperature (Temperature display is illuminated) to the display of the DESIRED temperature (Temperature display flashes) by pressing one of the two
buttons, “C“ (+) or “E“ (-).
• Each time one of the two buttons is pressed again the DESIRED temperature is adjusted by 1 °C. The DESIRED temperature must be reached within 24
hours.
If neither button is pressed, the temperature display automatically switches
back after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) to the display of the ACTUAL temperature.
DESIRED temperature means:
The temperature that has been selected for inside the fridge. The DESIRED
temperature is indicated by flashing numbers.
ACTUAL temperature means:
The temperature display indicates the current temperature inside the fridge.
The ACTUAL temperature is indicated with illuminated numbers.

• During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the fridge
(ACTUAL temperature) is displayed.
• When the temperature is being adjusted a flashing display indicates the
fridge temperature currently set (DESIRED temperature).
Starting Up - Setting the Temperature
1. Plug the mains plug into the mains socket.
2. Press ON/OFF, button B can function the fridge compartment separately
with the appliance in function. The green mains pilot indicator illuminates.
3. Press either the “C“ (+) or “E“ (-) button. The temperature display switches
over and the DESIRED temperature currently set flashes on the temperature display.
4. Set the required temperature by pressing the “C“ (+) or “E“ (-) buttons (see
section "Temperature setting buttons"). The temperature display will immediately show the changed setting. Each time the button is pressed the temperature is adjusted by 1 °C.
From a food safety point of view +5 °C should be considered sufficiently
cold for storing food in the fridge.
5. Once the required temperature has been set, after a short period (approx. 5
sec.) the temperature display will change and again indicate the current
ACTUAL temperature inside the fridge. The display will change from flashing
to continuous illumination.
Information! When the setting is changed, the compressor does not start
immediately if automatic defrosting is currently taking place. As the storage temperature within the fridge is reached quickly you can store food
immediately after switching on.
Important: If the fridge compartment is off, the door must be closed in
order that the freezer is working properly.
In this condition, the electronic control of the appliance functions automatically and periodically circulating the air to prevent unpleasant smells and humidity.
COOLMATIC
The COOLMATIC function is suited for quick cooling of large quantities of
goods in the refrigerator.
1. The COOLMATIC function is switched on by pressing the COOLMATIC button. The yellow light illuminates.
The COOLMATIC function now provides for intensive cooling. A DESIRED
temperature of +2 °C is automatically selected. The COOLMATIC function is
ended automatically after a period of 6 hours.
2. The COOLMATIC function can be ended manually at any time by pressing
the COOLMATIC button again. The yellow light goes out.

Interior Accessories
Storage Shelves
The glass shelf above the fruit and
vegetable compartment should
always remain in position, to ensure
fruit and vegetables stay fresh longer.
The remaining storage shelves can be
adjusted to various heights:
Pull the storage shelf forward until it
can be tipped up or down and removed.
To insert at a different height use the same procedure in reverse.
Adjustment for tall goods:
Remove the front half of the two-part vario glass storage shelf and insert it
at a different level. Space is thus gained for storage of tall goods on the
underlying storage shelf.
Variable Inner Door
The door compartments can be pulled up and removed, and inserted at
other positions as needed.
Moisture regulator
There is an adjustable air grille in front of the shelf above the fruit and vegetable compartments.
The opening in the ventilation slots can be adjusted with the slider.
Right slider: Ventilation slots opened.
With the ventilation slots open, more air circulation results in a lower air
moisture content in the fruit and vegetable compartments.

Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating liquid in the refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
• Position food so that air can circulate freely round it.
Useful hints:
Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the
vegetable drawer(s). For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the
most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc: these should be covered and may be placed
on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the
special drawer(s) provided.
Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Left slider: Ventilation slots closed.
When the ventilation slots are closed,
the natural moisture content of the
food in the fruit and vegetable compartments is preserved for longer.
Variable Storage Box
Some models are equipped with a
variable storage box which is fitted
under a door shelf compartment and
can be slid sideways.
The box can be inserted under any
door shelf compartment.
1. To change the position of the storage box; lift the shelf compartment
with the box upwards and out of the
holders in the door and remove the
retaining bracket out of the guide
under the shelf compartment.
2. Reverse the above operation to insert
the shelf at a different height.
