Designing the Kitchen Cabinet Doors
You need two doors for the kitchen cabinet, one on top for the refrigerator compartment, and one on the bottom for the freezer compartment. In general, the doors have these characteristics:
● The doors should be at least 5/8 in. (16 mm)
thick to allow the connecting rails to be fastened to them.
● With both doors closed, there should be a
minimum of 1/8 in. (3 mm) between the upper and lower doors. Also, there should be an 1/8 in. (3 mm) clearance between the upper door and the cabinet door above it (if any).
● The top edge of the upper door (Fig. 8, 1) and
lower door (Fig. 8, 2) should be even with the doors of adjoining cabinet(s), if any.
● The position of the joint between the kitchen
cabinet doors must be level with the position of the joint between the appliance doors (Fig. 8, 2).
● Adjust the door alignment before installing the
appliance. It is impossible to adjust the door with the appliance installed.
● Check the installation dimensions according to
Figure 7.
● Use high quality inside hinges (Fig. 9, 1) to
mount the doors to the cabinet. The hinges should be adjustable to make sure the doors fit squarely when they are closed.
● Make sure that you account for the projection
(thickness) of the hinge you select. You must have 21-7/16 in. (544.5 mm) clearance between left inner wall of the cabinet and the projection (thickness) of the hinge. See Figure 7 dimension “N.”
● The maximum hinge opening angle is 110°.
● Consider having a professional install the
refrigerator-freezer in your kitchen cabinet.

In normal operation, the following settings will be displayed:
● The average refrigerator temperature in
display (Fig. 1, 7)
● The warmest frozen food temperature in
display (Fig. 1, 1).
OPERATION
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 repack frozen food, the temperature may rise for a short time due to warm air flowing into the freezer. Once you have finished loading or repacking, the electronics will automatically reset the temperature to the most recent setting. Short­term rises in temperature will not affect the frozen food.
If “F0” to “F5” appears in the display, the appliance has a fault. Have the fault number available when you contact the customer service department. See Customer Service.
Display Brightness - Figure 1
Your appliance is delivered with the display brightness set to low.
When the door is opened or the temperature settings are changed, the display automatically switches to bright for one minute, or as long as the alarm state lasts. You can change the brightness if required.
● To make display brighter: Keep the Alarm
Button pressed while simultaneously pressing the Up Freezer Temperature Button (Fig. 1, 2).
● To make display darker: Keep the Alarm
Button pressed while simultaneously pressing the Down Freezer Temperature Button (Fig. 1, 2).
When starting up for the first time or when the
appliance is warm, dashes will appear until the
temperature reaches a level that can be displayed; 32°F to 60°F (0°C to 19°C) in the refrigerator and below 32°F (0°C) in the freezer.
It will take between three and eight hours for the
required temperature, 0°F or 39°F (-18°C or 4°C), to be reached and displayed permanently in the display, depending on the ambient conditions and the temperature setting.

Arranging Food - Figure 27
When the fan is off, the natural circulation of air in the refrigerator compartment results in different temperatures in different parts of the refrigerator. The refrigerator is coldest just above the vegetable bins and near the rear wall (best for sausage and meat products); it is warmest at the front, at the top and in the door (best for spreadable butter, cheese, etc.). Do not put food against the rear wall; the
food could freeze.
Notes
● Store food so air can circulate properly
around it. Do not pack the refrigerator too full.
● Liquids and food which give off or absorb
odors and flavors should always be stored covered or in closed containers.
● Always store food which gives off or is
sensitive to ethylene gases such as fruit, vegetables and salads separately or wrapped in order not to affect their storage life. For example, do not store tomatoes together with kiwis or cabbage.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT
SuperFrost - Figure 1
Fresh food should be frozen completely and as rapidly as possible. Frozen food can also be given a cold boost. This is provided by the SuperFrost feature and ensures that the nutritional value, appearance and flavor of the food remain intact.
● The maximum amount of food which can be
frozen in 24 hours is shown on the model plate (“Freezing capacity ... kg/24h”), (Fig. 1, 30). This amount varies according to the model and climate rating.
Freezing with SuperFrost - Figure 1
Press the SuperFrost Button (Fig. 1, 4) briefly so it lights up. The freezer temperature will decrease and the appliance will change to the lowest temperature.
For small amounts of frozen food, it is
normally sufficient to turn ON SuperFrost six hours beforehand. For the maximum amount (see freezing capacity on the model plate) you will need to turn it ON 24 hours before.
● 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. Place the wrapped food directly on the shelves. Once the food is frozen, load it into the drawers.
● The SuperFrost function turns OFF
automatically. Depending on the quantity of food placed in the freezer, this will normally be between 30 hours and a maximum of 65 hours. The freezing process is now complete, the SuperFrost LED will go out and the freezer will switch back to normal energy-saving operation.
Note
You do not have to turn ON the SuperFrost function:
● When placing frozen food in the freezer.
● When freezing up to approximately 4-1/2 lbs
(2 kg) fresh food daily.
Freezing and Storage
Do Not Freeze:
Lettuce, radishes, grapes, whole apples, pears and fatty meat.
Food to Freeze:
Meat, game, poultry, fresh fish, vegetables, fruit, dairy products, bread, baked goods, pre-cooked meals.
● Pack frozen food in standard freezer bags or
reusable plastic, metal or aluminum containers.
● Do not allow fresh food which is to be frozen
to come into contact with food already frozen. Always keep packages dry in order to avoid them sticking together.
● Always write the date and contents on the
package and do not exceed the stated storage time for the food. This prevents spoiling.
● Pack food which you are freezing yourself in
quantities right for your household. To ensure the food freezes completely and quickly, the following quantities should not be exceeded per package:
- fruit, vegetables: up to 2-1/4 lbs (1 kg);
- meat: up to 5-1/2 lbs (2.5 kg).
● 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 follow the operating instructions.)
● Do not salt or season fresh food or blanched
vegetables before freezing. Only lightly salt and season other food. Some spices can alter their flavor intensity.
● Do not freeze bottles and cans as they might
burst. Drinks can be cooled down quickly, but take the bottles or cans out of the freezer compartment after an hour at the most.

Storage
Each drawer and shelf can take up to 55 lbs (25 kg) frozen food. By removing the 2nd and 3rd drawers and the shelf you can create a double­height space for large frozen food items. This enables you to freeze such things as poultry, large pieces of meat or large cakes without first having to cut them up, so they can be served “whole” afterwards.
If you want to use the maximum net-capacity, you can remove the drawers and store items directly on the shelves.
● Always leave the bottom drawer in the
appliance.
● If you have removed the top drawer, do not
cover the fan slits at the back, otherwise the freezer will not work properly.
Removing Drawers - Figure 33 and 34
● Removing the shelf (Figure 34): Remove the
2nd and 3rd drawers. Lift the front edge of the shelf up and pull it out.
To insert: simply slide shelf in and allow the
front edge to click into place.
● Always store identical food items together to
avoid the door being open for unnecessarily long periods and to save energy.
● Do not exceed storage times given.
Thawing
POISONING HAZARD!
• Do not attempt to re-freeze any thawed, previously frozen food.
• Failure to follow these instructions
could result in death or serious injury.
LACERATION HAZARD!
• To avoid possible injury, only adjust an empty shelf. Do not attempt to adjust a shelf with food on it.
• Failure to follow these instructions
may result in minor or moderate injury.
Figure 33 Figure 34
● Removing drawers (Figure 33): Pull forward
until the drawer stops and lift out.
Only take out as much food as is needed for thawing. Cook food which has been thawed as quickly as possible. Frozen food can be thawed in the following ways:
● in a microwave oven
● in the refrigerator: the safer way to thaw food
because there is less chance of bacteria growth and it saves energy. Use this method for high density food such as roasts or poultry.
● Flat portions of meat or fish can be cooked
when partially thawed.
● Vegetables can be cooked from frozen
(in half the normal time).

To Start the IceMaker - Figure 39
The IceMaker will only work if the combined refrig­erator-freezer is connected to the electrical outlet. It will only make ice cubes if the freezer compartment is operating and if the minimum freezer temperature is 14°F (-10°C).
The IceMaker is in the top left drawer in the freezer compartment of the combined refrigerator-freezer. You can identify this drawer by its labeling “IceMaker.”
To turn ON
● Pull out the drawer.
● Press the “ON/OFF” button so the control lamp
comes on (Figure 39).
● Close the drawer.
Note
The IceMaker can only make ice cubes if the drawer is completely closed.
To turn OFF
If you do not need any ice cubes, the IceMaker can be turned off independently of the freezer compartment.
● Press the “ON/OFF” button for approximately
1 second so the control lamp goes out.
Note
If the IceMaker is turned off, the empty drawer can also be used to freeze and store food.
To make ice cubes
After you start the icemaker for the first time it may take up to 24 hours before the first ice cubes are ready.
Note
The first three batches of ice must not be consumed or used. This will help ensure that the water supply lines are free of contaminants.
The production capacity depends on the tempera­ture inside the freezer compartment. The lower the temperature, the more ice can be produced over a period of time.
Figure 39
The ice cubes fall out of the icemaker into the drawer.When the ice reaches a certain level in the drawer, the appliance stops producing ice automati­cally.
If you need a large quantity of ice you can change out the drawer to the right with the complete “Ice­Maker” drawer. When you close the drawer the icemaker will immediately start production.

DEFROSTING/CLEANING
!
WARNING
Notes on Defrosting
The NoFrost system automatically defrosts the appliance.
In the refrigerator compartment
The water that forms on the rear wall drains into an evaporation container at the back of the appliance and evaporates automatically through the compressor heat. Drops of water, or frozen drops of water, on the rear wall are perfectly normal. Ensure that the defrost water can flow freely through the defrost drain hole (Fig. 1, 17) in the rear wall (arrow in Fig. 1).
In the freezer compartment
Any moisture arising collects on the evaporator and freezes, and is periodically defrosted and evaporated. The automatic defrosting system keeps the freezer frost-free and eliminates the time and effort spent on defrosting manually.
Cleaning
● We recommend treating stainless steel
appliances with a special stainless steel cleaning agent after normal cleaning.
● Do not allow cleaning water to run down the
drain gully or to penetrate the ventilation grilles or electrical components. Dry the appliance.
● Do not damage or remove the model plate on
the inside of the appliance (Fig. 1A). It is very important for servicing purposes.
● The butter dish can be washed
in a dishwasher. The racks, shelves and other components should be cleaned by hand.
● The shelves and door racks
can be dismantled for cleaning (Figure 41).
● Remove the trim and sides
Figure 41
from the glass shelves.
● Remove all protective film
from the decorative trim.
● Clean the drain hole (Fig. 1, 17) in the rear wall
(arrow in Fig. 1) frequently. If necessary, clean
with a thin object such as a cotton swab.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD!
●
To prevent possible injury due to an electrical shock, be sure to disconnect the power cord or turn OFF the circuit breaker before replacing the interior light or cleaning the appliance.
●
To avoid injury or damage, do not use steam cleaning equipment to clean the appliance.
Failure to follow these instructions
●
could result in death or serious injury.
Clean the inside and equipment by hand with lukewarm water and a little detergent.
DO NOT use abrasive or scouring sponges. Do not use concentrated cleaning agents and never use abrasive or acid cleaners or chemical solvents.
● 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.
● Then connect and turn ON the appliance and
wait until the temperature reaches the set value before adding food. See Turning the Appliance ON and OFF.
If the appliance is to be left turned OFF for any length of time, empty the appliance, disconnect from the power source, clean as described above and leave the door open so as to avoid odors.
Energy Saving Tips
● Ensure there is adequate space around the
appliance for ventilation and air extraction.
● Avoid keeping the door open for too long.
● Store food logically. Do not exceed the storage
period specified.
● Make sure to allow hot food to cool to room
temperature before placing in the appliance.
● Keep the appliance door shut in the event of a
breakdown. This will delay the cold loss and will help to maintain the quality of the frozen food longer.

- Bubbling noises are normal. These are caused by the refrigerant flowing around the refrigerant circuit.
- A short clicking sound: This will be heard whenever the compressor turns ON or OFF automatically.
- Motor noise: This will be slightly louder for a brief period when the compressor turns 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. A low-pitched
humming sound is caused by air flow noises in the fan.
that even during the warranty period, some repair costs may be your responsibility.
You may be able to correct the following faults by checking the possible causes yourself:
The compressor continues to run for a long time
- The alarm sounds,
- the temperature is not cold enough
appears in the
display
IceMaker is not making any ice.
On energy saving models, this is perfectly normal. When less refrigeration is required, the VCC compressor switches to a low speed. It will run almost constantly, but it still saves energy.
- Have you put too much fresh food into the freezer without activating SuperFrost? See SuperFrost.
- Does the door close properly?
- Is the appliance sufficiently ventilated? Clean 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.
There has been a power failure; proceed as described in Power Failure/FrostControl Display.
- Is the IceMaker turned on?
- Is the water supply line open?
- Is the IceMaker drawer closed properly?
