Safety regulations

W The appliance is designed to freeze and store

food and to make ice. It is designed as a
household appliance. We cannot guarantee that
the appliance will work properly if it is used for another
purpose.

W The appliance is set to operate within specific ambient

temperature limits according to its climate rating. These
temperature limits should not be exceeded. The correct
climate rating for your appliance is indicated on the type

plate. This is explained as follows:

Climate rating Set for ambient temperatures

SN, N up to +32°C
ST up to +38°C
T up to +43°C

- The appliance will function properly in ambient tempera­tures of down to +5°C.

- The refrigerant circuit has been tested for leaks.

- The appliance complies with current safety regulations
and EC directives 73/23/EEC and 89/336/EEC.

§

Notes on energy saving

W Ensure that there is adequate space around the appliance

for ventilation and air extraction.

W Avoid keeping the door open for too long.
W Store food logically. Do not exceed the storage period

specified.

W Keep all food properly packed and covered so as to

avoid its frosting up on the outside.

W Always allow hot food to cool to room temperature before

placing in the appliance.

W Defrost frozen food in the refrigerator.
W Keep the appliance door shut in the event of a break-

down. This will delay the cold loss and will help to
maintain the quality of the frozen food for longer.

The insulation plate for running freezer at part capacity

is available as an accessory from your
dealer.

If you do not store much frozen food in
your freezer you can use the insulation
plate to cut your freezer's energy con­sumption by up to half.

- You can "switch off" any number of
drawers up to 5 (depending on mod­el). At least 2 drawers are required

for the refrigeration unit to work.

For more information see the
instruction manual of the insulation
plate.

Safety instructions and warnings

Disposal notes

The packaging is designed to protect the appliance
and individual components during transport and is
made of recyclable materials.

- Corrugated board/board

- Moulded polystyrene (foamed, CFC-free polystyrene)

- Polythene bags and sheets

- Polypropylene straps

W Keep packaging materials away from children - poly-

thene sheets and bags can suffocate!

W Please return the packaging material to your nearest of-

ficial collection point so that the various materials can be
reused or recycled as far as possible.

Your old appliance:

This contains some reusable materials and should be
disposed of properly - not simply with unsorted hou­sehold refuse.
W Disable discarded appliances immediately by removing

the plug and cutting through the connection cable.

W Remove the spring-action or bolt catch from the appli-

ance so that playing children cannot become trapped
inside and suffocate.

W Make sure that the refrigerant circuit of an appliance that

is no longer needed is not damaged before it is collected
or handed in at a municipal collection point so as to
ensure that the refrigerant or oil does not escape into the
environment.

- Exact details of the refrigerant used can be found on the
type plate. The heat insulator is PU with Pentane.

- Information on collection dates or collection points can
be obtained from the waste disposal authorities or your
local council.

Technical safety

W To prevent injury or damage to the unit, the appli-

ance should only be transported wrapped and set
up by two people.

W The refrigerant R 600a is environmentally friendly but

flammable.

W Do not damage the refrigerant circuit pipes. Splashes of

refrigerant can harm your eyes or ignite.

W If refrigerant escapes, remove all naked flames or sources

of ignition in the vicinity of the leak, disconnect the appli­ance from the mains and ventilate the area well.

W In the event that the appliance is damaged, contact the

supplier immediately before connecting to the mains.

W To guarantee safe operation, ensure that the appliance

is set up and connected as described in these operating
instructions.

W Disconnect the appliance from the mains if any fault oc-

curs. Pull out the plug (not by pulling on the mains cable)
or switch off or remove the fuse.

W

Any repairs and work on the appliance should only be car­ried out by the customer service department, as unauthor­ised work could prove highly dangerous for the user. The

same applies to changing the mains power cable.

Safety during use

W Do not store explosives or sprays using combus-

tible propellants such as butane, propane, pentane,
etc. in the appliance. Electrical components might
cause leaking gas to ignite. You can identify such sprays
by the printed contents or a flame symbol.

W Only store high-percentage alcohol in tightly sealed, up-

right containers.

W Do not allow naked flames or ignition sources to enter the

appliance.

W Do not use electrical appliances inside the appliance (e.g.

steam cleaners, heaters, ice makers, etc.).

W Do not stand on the plinth, drawers or doors or use them

to support anything else.

W Do not let children play with the appliance, e.g. do not

allow them to sit in the drawers or swing on the door.

W The appliance is not intended for use by young children

or infirm persons without supervision.

W Do not eat ice-cream, particularly ice lollies or ice-cubes,

14

immediately after taking them from the freezer compart­ment as there is a risk of "burning" because of the very
cold temperatures.

W Do not consume food which has been stored for too long,

as it could cause food poisoning.

Setting up

W When setting up/fitting ensure that the refrigerant circuit

pipes are not damaged.

W Once in position, use the 10 spanner provided to

adjust the feet so that the appliance is level and
does not wobble.

W Avoid positioning in direct sunlight or next to

an oven, radiator or similar, in damp locations or near

spraying water.
The basement is an ideal site for installation.
W Standard EN 378 specifies that the room in which you

install your appliance must have a volume of 1 m3 per 8 g

of R 600a refrigerant used in the appliance, so as to avoid

the formation of inflammable gas/air mixtures in the room

where the appliance is located in the event of a leak in

the refrigerant circuit. The quantity of refrigerant used in

your appliance is indicated on the type plate on the

inside of the appliance.

W The ventilation grilles should not be obstructed.

Always ensure that there is good ventilation and

that the outward flowing air is able to escape.

Please note the appendix concerning installation

instructions.
W Do not place heat-emitting appliances, e.g. micro-

wave oven, toaster, etc., on top of the refrigerator or

freezer.
W When you open the door for the first time, the

handle* switches from the transport position to

the operating position; you will hear a soft click.
W Remove all transportation safety components.

Connecting to the mains

Power supply (AC) and voltage

at the operating point must comply with the details on
the type plate, which is located inside the appliance
on the left, fig. A.

W Connect the appliance with a properly earthed fused

plug and socket only.

W The socket must be fused with a 10 A fuse or higher, it

must be away from the rear of the appliance and must be

easily accessible.
W Do not

- connect to stand-alone inverters*,

- operate with so-called energy-saving plugs - this can

damage the electronic system,

- connect to the supply with other equipment using an

extension cable - risk of overheating.
W When removing the mains cable from the back of the ap-

pliance, remove the cable holder so as to avoid vibration

noise.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with

the following code: green/yellow = earth, blue = neutral,
brown = live.

Warning! This appliance must be earthed.
Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363

If this machine or appliance is fitted with a non-rewireable
plug, the following information applies: If the socket outlets
are not suitable for the plug supplied with this product, it
must be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted. The plug cut
from the flexible cord should be disposed of and on no ac­count be inserted into a 13 A socket elsewhere in the house
(electric shock hazard).
The fuse cover must be re-fitted when changing the fuse,
and if the fuse cover is lost the plug must not be used until
a suitable replacement is obtained. The colour of the cor­rect replacement cover is that of the coloured insert in the
base of the plug, or the colour that is embossed in words on
the base of the plug (as applicable to the design of the plug
fitted). The correct rating of the replacement fuses that are
ASTA approved to BS 1362 should be fitted. Replacement
fuse covers may be purchased from your local electrical
suppliers, electricity showroom or approved service agent.

Operation and control elements

Audible warning signal

The audible warning signal helps to protect frozen food
and to save energy.
W The audible warning device is switched off by pressing

- It switches off automatically as soon as the temperature

Audible door alarm

- This sounds when the door has been left open for longer

Switching the appliance on and off

W Switching on: Press the on/off button 3 so that the

temperature display lights up/flashes.

- When the appliance is switched on for the first time and
while it is still warm, the display will contain dashes until
the temperature falls below 0°C.

- The lighting will light up when the door is open.

W Switching off: Press the on/off button for approx. two

seconds so that the temperature display goes out.

Setting the temperature

The appliance is pre-set for normal operation. We recom­mend a temperature of -18°C.
W To reduce the temperature:
Press the DOWN button 2.
W To increase the temperature:
Press the UP button 2.

- While you are entering the temperature, the set tempera-
ture will flash on the display.

- When you press the temperature setting buttons for the
first time, the most recent setting (known as the "refer-
ence setting") is displayed.

- You can change the settings in increments of 1°C by
briefly pressing the buttons again. If the buttons are held
down the temperature setting will change faster.

- The electronic controls will switch over automatically
about 5 seconds after the last time you pressed the but­ton, and the actual temperature in the freezer (known as
the "actual setting") will be displayed.

- The temperature can be set at between -14°C and -28°C.

Whether you can obtain the lowest temperature depends

on where the appliance is positioned (if it is located in an
area with a high ambient temperature it will not reach the
lowest temperature).

Temperature display

The highest temperature of the frozen food 1 is displayed
in normal operating mode.

The display will flash:

- if you change the temperature or

- if the temperature rises by several degrees, indicating
cold loss, e.g. if you place fresh, "warm" food in the
freezer or if you remove or re-pack frozen food the
temperature may rise for a short time due to warm air
flowing into the freezer. Once you have finished loading
or re-packing, the electronics will automatically re-set the
temperature to the most recent setting. Short-term rises
in temperature will not affect the frozen food.

W If "F 1" to "F 5" appears in the display, the appliance

has a fault. Consult the customer service department
indicat-ing the fault number displayed as this will tell the
techni-cian what kind of irregularity has occurred.

GNP..6

* Depending on model and options

Audible/visual temperature alarm

- It always sounds if the freezer temperature is not low

SuperFrost

DuraFreeze

Fresh food should be frozen to the core as rapidly as pos­sible. Frozen food can also be given a cold boost. This
is provided by the SuperFrost facility and ensures that the
nutritional value, appearance and flavour of the food remain
intact.
W The maximum amount of food which can be frozen in

24 hours is shown on the type plate ("Freezing capacity
... kg/24h"), fig. A2, pos. 4. This amount varies accord­ing to the model and climate rating.

Freezing with SuperFrost

W Press the SuperFrost button 4 briefly so that it lights up.
The freezer temperature will decrease and the appliance

will switch to the lowest temperature.

W For small amounts of frozen food, it is normally sufficient

to switch on SuperFrost 6 hours beforehand. For the
maximum amount (see freezing capacity on the type
plate) you will need to switch it on 24 hours beforehand.

W Then place the fresh food inside the freezer, preferably in

the top drawers.

If freezing the maximum quantity of food, do not use the

drawers; instead, place the wrapped food directly on the
shelves. Once the food is frozen you can load it into the
drawers.

- The SuperFrost function switches off automatically.
Depending on the quantity of food placed in the freezer,
this will normally be between 30 and max. 65 hours. The
freezing process is now complete, the SuperFrost button
will go dark and the appliance will continue to operate at
the last setting.

Note: When the SuperFrost function is activated the

appliance will be running at full capacity, so the
refrigeration unit will sound slightly louder for a while.

You should not switch on the SuperFrost function:

- when placing frozen food in the freezer;

- when freezing up to approx. 2 kg fresh food daily.

DuraFreeze enables you to

- preserve the quality of your food better than in normal
mode for the standard length of time

- or double the length of time you store it, keeping the
same quality as in standard mode.

Storage with DuraFreeze

The DuraFreeze circuit is a combination of low and even
storage temperatures. This reduces drying out, frost for­mation, recrystallisation, freezer burn and weight loss. So
ice-cream stays creamy, and vegetables, meat, fish and
seafood retain their quality and taste and therefore their
enjoyment value to an optimum extent.

• Switching on DuraFreeze:

Press the DuraFreeze button 4 briefly twice.

- The DF in the temperature display 7 will light up.

The temperature displayed will drop slowly to -28°C.

• Switching off DuraFreeze:

Press the DuraFreeze button 4 briefly twice.

- The DF in the temperature display will go out. The tempe­rature displayed will rise slowly to the normal temperature
of -18°C.

Switch function of button 4

The SuperFrost (SF) and DuraFreeze (DF) functions both use
button 4.
When your appliance is in normal mode
(SF and DF are off), you can switch the
functions on and off by pressing the but­ton up to four times as follows:

• Press once: SuperFrost on, button 4
lit.

• Press again: SuperFrost off and Dura­Freeze on - DF 7 lit.

• Press again: SuperFrost and Dura­Freeze on - button and DF lit.

• Press again: SuperFrost and Dura­Freeze off - button and DF are off. The
appliance is now in normal mode.

16

Note:

• As a result of the low storage tempera­tures in DuraFreeze mode, moisture may accumulate on
the outside of the appliance if it is in a room with high hu­midity. This is not a fault but a natural physical process.

You can prevent this by reducing the humidity in the room

or by switching temporarily back to normal mode.

Notes on freezing and storage

W Items suitable for freezing: meat, game, poultry, fresh

fish, vegetables, fruit, dairy products, bread, baked
goods, pre-cooked meals.

Not suitable: lettuce, radishes, grapes, whole apples and

pears, fatty meat.

W Pack frozen food in standard freezer bags or reusable

plastic, metal or aluminium containers.

W Do not allow fresh food which is to be frozen to come into

contact with food already frozen. Always keep packs dry
in order to avoid them sticking together.

W Always write the date and contents on the pack and do

not exceed the stated storage time for the food. This
prevents any risk of quality impairment.

W Pack food which you are freezing yourself in quantities

appropriate to your household. To ensure that the food
freezes right through quickly, the following quantities
should not be exceeded per package:

- fruit, vegetables: up to 1 kg;

- meat: up to 2.5 kg.
W Blanch vegetables after washing and cutting them. (Add

to boiling water for 2-3 minutes, remove and quickly
cool down in cold water. If you blanch with a steamer or
microwave oven, please observe the relevant operating
instructions.)

W Do not salt or season fresh food or blanched vegetables

before freezing. Only lightly salt and season other food.
Some spices can alter their flavour intensity.

W Do not freeze bottles and cans which contain carbon-

ated drinks as they might burst. Drinks can be cooled
down quickly, but take the bottles out of the freezer com­partment after an hour at the most.

W Storage: Each drawer and shelf can take up to 25 kg

frozen food.

W If you want to use the maximum net capacity, you can re-

move the drawers and store items directly on the shelves.

W Removing drawers: Pull out as far as they will go and lift

at the back, fig. C1.

To insert: slide in the rails, place the drawer on the rails

and close completely, fig. C2.

- If you have removed the drawers, do not cover the fan
slits at the back, otherwise the freezer will not work pro­perly.

W Always store identical food items together to avoid the

door being open for unnecessarily long periods and to
save energy.

W Do not exceed storage times given.

W Thawing: Only take out as much food as is immediately

required for thawing. Cook food which has been thawed
as quickly as possible.

Frozen food can be thawed in the following ways:

- in a conventional or fan oven

- in a microwave oven

- at room temperature

- in the refrigerator: the cold given off by the frozen food is
used for cooling the other food.

- Flat portions of meat or fish can be cooked when partially
thawed.

- Vegetables can be cooked from frozen (in half the normal
time).

VarioSpace*

- You can create a double-height space for big items of
frozen food by removing a drawer and a shelf. This en-

ables you to freeze such things as poultry or big pieces of
meat without having to cut them up first, so they can be
served "whole" afterwards, and to store other large items
such as big gateaux or packs of ice.

- Removing the drawer, fig. D1: Pull out as far as it will go
and lift at the back.

- Removing the shelf, fig. D2: Lift up at the front and pull
out.

- To insert: proceed in reverse order; simply push shelf in
as far as it will go.

W Bottom drawer: Pull out as far as it

will go and lift at the front, fig. C3.

Information system*

Use frozen food within the recommended period.
The numbers between the symbols indicate the storage
period in months for different kinds of frozen foods.
Storage times given are guide times for food frozen at
home. Whether or not the lower or upper value is applicable
depends on the food quality and how it was processed prior
to freezing. The lower values always apply to food with a
high fat content.

Freezer tray

This is used for gently freezing berries, herbs, vegetables
and other small items and prevents them from sticking to­gether. Items being frozen will largely retain their shape, and
it will be easier to remove exactly the right quantity later on.

W Spread the items out loosely on the tray, fig. H.
W Freeze for 10 to 12 hours, then transfer to a freezer bag

or container and put in a drawer.

W To defrost, spread the frozen items out loosely.

Cold-storage accumulators*

These prevent the temperature in the freezer from rising too
quickly in the event of a power failure, thus preserving the
quality of the food.
W To save space, you can freeze and store the cold-storage

accumulators in the freezer tray, fig. I.

- To ensure maximum storage time in the event of a power
failure, place the frozen cold-storage accumulators in the
top freezer drawer on top of the food.

Making ice-cubes

W Press the locking bolt downwards.
W Fill the ice-cube tray with water. Surplus water will flow

through the drain hole.

W Push the locking bolt upwards.
W Place the ice-cube tray in the appliance and leave it to

freeze.

W The ice-cubes can be removed from the tray by twisting

or by holding upside down for a short time under running
water.

Lighting

This switches off automatically after the door has been
opened for approx. 15 minutes. If it does not switch on
when the door is opened briefly, but the temperature display
is working, the bulb may be defective.

Replacing the bulb:

W Bulb data: max. 15 W; current and voltage must agree

with the details on the type plate. Only use bulbs of the
same size. Bulb fitting: E14.

W Switch off the appliance. Disconnect from the mains or

remove or unscrew the fuse.

W Change the bulb behind the operating panel as illus-

trated.

Notes on defrosting

The NoFrost system automatically defrosts the appliance.
Any moisture arising collects on the evaporator and freezes,
and is periodically defrosted and evaporated.
The automatic defrosting system keeps the freezer frost­free and eliminates the time and effort spent on defrosting
manually.

Cleaning

W Always disable the appliance for cleaning.

Disconnect from the mains or unscrew or
switch off the fuse.

W Clean the outer walls, inside and equipment by

hand with lukewarm water and a little detergent.

- Because of the risk of injury and damage to the appli­ance, steam cleaning equipment should not be used.

- Never use abrasive or scouring sponges. Do not use
concentrated cleaning agents and never use abrasive or
acid cleaners or chemical solvents.

W We recommend using a soft cloth and an all-purpose

cleaner with a neutral pH value.

- Only use food compatible cleaning and care agents on
the inside of the appliance.

- The pull-out rails can be removed for cleaning the glass
shelves, fig. E1: press the front clip 1 down, push the rail
to the side 2 and to the back 3.

- To insert: follow the instructions in reverse, fig. E2; hook
in at the back and make sure they click into place proper­ly at the front.

- Only clean the pull-out rails with a damp cloth; never
wash in a dishwasher.

- Ensure that no cleaning water is allowed to penetrate into
the electrical components or ventilation grilles.

Dry the appliance.

- Do not damage or remove the type plate on the inside of
the appliance as this is important for customer service.

W The dust should be removed from

the refrigeration unit and heat
exchanger - metal grid at the back of
the appliance - once a year. Dust de­posits increase energy consumption.

W Ensure that none of the wires or

other components are dislodged,
bent or damaged.

W Then connect/switch on the appliance, switch on

SuperFrost and start to insert the food to be frozen as the
temperature drops.

If the appliance is to be left out of operation for any length
of time, empty it, disconnect from the mains, clean as
described above and leave the door open in order to avoid
unpleasant smells.

Your appliance is designed and manufactured for a long life
span and reliable operation.
If a malfunction nonetheless occurs during operation, check
whether it is due to an operating error. Please note that
even during the warranty period the resultant servicing costs
in this case will have to be borne by the owner.
You may be able to rectify the following faults by checking

the possible causes yourself:

Malfunction - Possible cause and remedy

Appliance does not work, the display is off

- Is the appliance switched on properly?

- Is the mains plug properly inserted in the socket?

- Is the socket fuse intact?

The lighting does not come on

- Is the appliance switched on?

- Has the door been open for more than 15 minutes?

- The bulb is defective. Check the bulb as described in
"Lighting" and change if necessary.

Loud running noise

- Is the appliance standing firmly on the floor, or does the
compressor cause nearby items of furniture or objects to
vibrate?

If necessary, move the appliance slightly, align by adjust-

ing the adjustable feet, or move bottles and containers
apart.

- Burbling noises are normal. These are caused by the
refrigerant flowing round the refrigerant circuit.

A short clicking sound: This will be heard whenever the

refrigeration unit (the motor) switches on or off auto­matically.

Motor noise: This will be slightly louder for a brief period

when the refrigeration unit switches on. The refrigerating
capacity will increase when the SuperFrost function is ac­tivated, fresh food has just been placed in the appliance

or the door has been left open for a while.

The audible warning signal sounds, the temperature is
not cold enough

- Have you put too much fresh food into the freezer without
activating SuperFrost? (See "SuperFrost")

- Does the door close properly?

- Is the appliance sufficiently well ventilated?

Clear ventilation grilles if necessary.

- Is the ambient temperature too hot? (See "Safety regu­lations")

- Has the appliance been opened too often or left open too
long?

- If applicable, wait until the appliance reaches the required
temperature itself.

appears in the display

- There has been a power failure; proceed as described in
"Power failure/FrostControl display".

The outside of the appliance may feel warm in places

- That is quite normal. The heat from the cooling circuit is
used to avoid the formation of condensate.

The compressor will continue to run for a while

- On energy saving models, this is caused by the func­tions and is perfectly normal. When less refrigeration is
required, the VCC compressor switches to a low speed.
It will then be running almost constantly, but it does save
energy.

Customer service and type
plate

If none of the above causes apply and you cannot
rectify the fault yourself, or if the temperature display reads
"F 1 " to " F 5", this means that there is a fault. Please
contact your nearest customer service department (see
enclosed list for addresses). Give the fault number dis-

played, together with the
type designation 1,
service number 2 and
appliance number 3

as given on the type plate, fig. A2, so as to ensure rapid, ac­curate servicing. The type plate is located inside the freezer
compartment on the left-hand side.
Leave the appliance shut until the customer service engi­ne er arri ves so as to prevent any
further cold loss.

Depending on the model and equipment, your appliance
may have an additional interface to which you can connect
an optional information module.
You can choose between a TeleSafe module and a com­munication module. The modules are available from your
dealer.
If your appliance has this interface 1, it will be located at
the back of the appliance near the top.

TeleSafe

The TeleSafe module informs you immediately if your appli­ance develops a fault.
In the event of a temperature alarm or another fault display
(F1 to F5), the appliance status is immediately forwarded to
the alarm contact.
The alarm contact can be connected to any of the following
processing units:
A - a telephone system with an appropriate signal input,
B - an in-house alarm system or building control system,
C - an automatic telephone dialling and announcement

unit.

In the event of an alarm a programmable number is

dialled and a recorded message is played back.

Communication module

The communication module enables you to integrate your
appliance into a home network (EHS Powerline).
You can then

- operate all the functions of the appliance or

- display the status of the appliance (e.g. door open alarm,
current refrigerator/freezer temperature)

remotely using a remote control.

For more information, please contact your dealer or see the
installation instructions for the module in question.
