Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials
which are environmentally friendly for
disposal and can normally be recycled.
Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation!
Caring for the environment
Disposal of your old appliance
Old appliances contain materials which
can be reclaimed or recycled. Please
contact your dealer, your waste collection centre or scrap merchant about
potential recycling schemes.
Make sure that the pipework is not damaged whilst moving an old appliance.
This is to ensure that the refrigerant
and oil in the compressor cannot leak
into the environment. It is important that
they are disposed of in a safe manner
by authorised persons only.
Ensure that the appliance presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
See the appropriate section in the
Warning and safety instructions.

Warning and safety instructions
Warning and safety instructions
This appliance complies with all relevant legal safety requirements. Improper use of the appliance can,
however, present a risk of both personal injury and material damage.
Before installation and before using
for the first time, read the operating
instructions carefully. They contain
important notes on safety, the operation and care of the appliance.
This way you will avoid the risk of
accidents and damage to the appliance.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and pass them on to any
future user.
Correct usage
This appliance is intended for do-
mestic use only for the cool storage of foodstuffs.
Any other usage is not supported by
the manufacturer and could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be
held responsible for damage caused
by improper use of the appliance.
In addition to the noise of the compressor you might be able to hear the
coolant flowing around the system. This
is unavoidable, but does not have any
adverse effect on the performance of
the appliance.
Care must be taken during transportation and setting up of the appliance
that no parts of the cooling system are
damaged. Leaking coolant can damage the eyes.
In the event of any damage:
– avoid open fires
and anything which creates a spark,
– disconnect from the mains,
– air the room in which the appliance is
located for several minutes and
– contact the Service Department
for advice.
The more refrigerant there is in an
appliance the larger the room it
should be installed in. In the event of a
leakage, if the appliance is in a small
room, there is the danger of combustible gases building up.
For every 8 g of coolant at least 1 m
room space is required. The amount of
coolant in the appliance is stated on
the data plate inside the appliance.
3
Technical safety
This appliance contains the cool-
ant Isobutane (R600a), a natural
gas which is very environment friendly.
Although it is flammable, it does not
damage the ozone layer and does not
increase the green house effect. The
use of this environment friendly coolant
has however led to a slight increase in
the noise level of the appliance.
6
Before connecting the appliance to
the mains supply, make sure that
the rating on the data plate corresponds to the voltage and frequency of
the household supply.
This data must correspond in order to
avoid risk of damage to the appliance.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Warning and safety instructions
The electrical safety of this ap-
pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and
national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is tested by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Safe operation of the appliance is
only assured if it has been installed
and connected in accordance with
these operating and installation instructions.
This equipment is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as caravans, aircraft
etc. However, it may be suitable for
such usage subject to a risk assessment of the installation being carried
out by a suitably qualified engineer.
Installation work, maintenance and
repairs may only be carried out by
suitably qualified and competent persons.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous and the
manufacturer will not be held responsible.
Ensure current is not supplied to
the appliance while maintenance
or repair work is being carried out.
The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
– the plug has been withdrawn.
Do not pull on the cable, only on the
plug.
– the mains fuse is withdrawn.
– or the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance.
(e.g. danger of overheating).
Use
Never store explosive materials in
the appliance. Switching on
thermostats and the interior light may
produce sparks which could present a
fire hazard.
If storing alcohol with a high per-
centage proof, make sure it is
tightly closed and stored upright.
Danger of explosion.
Observe the “use by” dates given
on food to avoid the risk of food
poisoning.
Storage times will depend on several
factors including the freshness and
quality of the food as well as the temperature at which it is stored. Follow
the instructions given on food manufacturer’s packaging on storage conditions
required as well as the “use by” date.
7
Warning and safety instructions
Do not use sharp edged
objects to
– remove frost and ice,
– separate frozen foods and remove
ice trays.
They will damage the evaporator and
the appliance will not be able to be
used again (total damage).
Never place electric heaters or
candles in the appliance to defrost
it. These can damage the plastic parts.
Do not use defrosting sprays, or
de-icers as they could contain substances which could damage the plastic parts and which may cause the
build up of gases and pose a danger
to health.
Do not use any grease or oil on the
door seals. These cause the seals
to become porous in the course of time.
Do not block the ventilation gaps
in the appliance as this would impair the efficiency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption and
could cause damage to the appliance.
The appliance is designed for use
within certain climate ranges (ambient temperatures). It must not be
used in ranges for which it is not designed. The climate range for your appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance. Installing it in a
room with too low an ambient temperature will lead to the appliance switching
off for longer periods so that it cannot
maintain the required temperature.
Never use steam cleaning ap-
paratus to defrost or clean the appliance. The steam could attack the
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin,
pay particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the appliance guarantee.
Disposal of old appliances
Before disposing of an old ap-
pliance first make the door latch or
lock unusable.
This way you will prevent children from
accidentally locking themselves in and
endangering their lives.
Before disposing of an old ap-
pliance, unplug it and render the
plug useless. Cut off the cable directly
behind the appliance and at the plug to
prevent misuse.
Be careful not to damage any part
of the pipework whilst awaiting disposal, e.g. by
– puncturing the refrigerant channels
in the evaporator.
– bending any pipework.
– scratching the surface coating.
Splashes of refrigerant can damage the
eyes.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by noncompliance with these Warning and
safety instructions.

Operation
Before using for the first time
Clean the inside of the appliance
and the accessories with luke warm
water and a little washing up liquid
and then dry using a soft cloth.
Operation
Switching off for longer
periods of time
If the appliance is not going to be used
for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst
on holiday
Switching on
Using a coin turn the On/Off dial in a
clockwise direction away from the "0"
position.
Forcing it beyond its range would
damage it. Turn it only as far as it
will go, then turn it back again.
The appliance starts cooling. The interior light will come on if the door is opened.
Switching off
Using a coin turn the On/Off dial in
an anti-clockwise direction back to
the "0" position.
switch the appliance off at the mains,
withdraw the plug (pull on the plug
and not the cable),
clean the appliance out and
leave the door ajar to air the ap-
pliance.
If, during a long absence, the
appliance is switched off but not
cleaned out and the door is left shut
there is a danger of mould and
odours building up inside the
appliance.
The cooling process and the interior
light are switched off.

The correct temperature
The correct temperature
It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the appliance. Micro organisms will cause
food which is not stored at the correct
temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influences the growth rate of
these micro organisms. Reducing the
temperature reduces their growth rate.
The temperature in the appliance will
rise:
– the more often the door is opened
and the longer it is kept open,
Temperature selection
The temperature is set with the temperature dial.
Using a coin turn the temperature
dial in a clockwise direction to the required setting.
– if too much food is stored in it at
once,
– the warmer the food is which is put
into it,
– the higher the ambient temperature
surrounding the appliance.
The appliance is designed for use in
specific ambient temperatures (climate ranges). Do not use in ambient
temperatures for which it is not designed.
. . . in the refrigerator
We recommend a temperature of
5 °C in the middle of the refrigerator
section.
Forcing it beyond its range would
damage it. Turn it only as far as it
will go, then turn it back again.
The higher the setting, the lower the
temperature in the appliance.
A mid range setting is normally sufficient.
10
Dynamic cooling
Dynamic cooling m
With dynamic cooling the temperature
inside the appliance is distributed to all
areas more evenly. All food stored in
the appliance will be chilled to about
the same degree. The temperature is
controlled as normal with the temperature dial.
Dynamic cooling should be selected
when:
– the ambient temperature in the room
is high (above approx. 30 °C) and
– the room humidity level is high.
Switching on dynamic cooling
Press the dynamic cooling button
m. The dynamic cooling indicator
light will come on.
Switching off dynamic cooling
When dynamic cooling is switched on
the appliance uses more energy. It
should therefore be switched off when
the room temperature is normal (below
30 °C) and when humidity levels are
normal.
Dynamic cooling
Press the dynamic cooling button
m. The dynamic cooling indicator
light will go out.
11
Storing food
Storing food
Natural air circulation gives rise to different temperature zones inside the appliance. Cold, heavy air sinks to the
lowest section of the appliance.
Make use of the different zones
when placing food in the appliance.
Loading examples
When placing food in the appliance
load the top shelves first and work
your way down to the bottom starting
with baked goods, pre-cooked foods
and milk products and finishing with
meats, fish and sausages.
The coldest zones are against the
back wall and above the vegetable containers. Use the area above the vegetable containers for perishable foods
such as meat, sausage, fish etc.
The warmest zone is in the top section
of the door. Use this area for storing
butter and cheese.
Use the vegetable containers for storing vegetables, salad and fruit.
Not all fruit and vegetables should
be stored together in the same container as they give off natural gases
which affect the perishability of
other foods. (See section "Chilling
and storing food").
Fill the door shelves from the top to
the bottom.
Start with butter, cheese, small tins,
bottles and tubes in the upper
shelves, followed by large bottles,
juice containers and milk in the bottom shelves.
Do not store cooking oil in the appliance door.
Traces of oil can cause stress
cracks to occur in the plastic components in the door.
12
Adjusting the interior fittings
Moving the shelves
The shelves can be adjusted according
to the height of the food.
Adjusting the interior fittings
Adjusting door shelves
Push the door shelf upwards then
remove it by pulling it forwards.
Pull the shelves forward as far as
they will go then lift them upwards to
remove them.
With the rear barrier facing upwards
place the shelf at the required position.
The rear barrier must face upwards
to prevent food from touching the
back of the appliance and freezing
to it.
Split shelf
(depending on model)
In order to accommodate tall items in
the appliance one of the shelves is
divided. The front section can be taken
out to allow space for tall items standing on the shelf below.
Replace the door shelf at the required position. Ensure that it is securely pushed back into position.
Moving the bottle divider
The bottle divider can be moved to the
left or right to ensure that bottles are
held securely in position when the door
is opened and shut.
13
Chilling and storing food
Chilling and storing food
Important notes:
Use the different cooling zones for
storing food correctly. See the section on loading examples.
– Food must not touch the back wall of
the appliance. Otherwise it may
freeze to the back wall.
– Do not store explosive materials in
the appliance or any products containing combustible gas (e.g. spray
cans). Danger of explosion.
– If storing alcohol with a high percent-
age proof, make sure it is tightly
closed, and store upright.
– Hot food and drinks must be cooled
to room temperature before placing
them in the appliance.
– Store food covered or packaged.
This way you will prevent food smells
or tastes from affecting other foods
and prevent food from drying out.
Fruit and vegetables may, however,
be stored loose in the vegetable containers.
– Do not store groceries too close to
each other. Space should be left between individual items for air to circulate.
– Do not keep the door open for too
long when putting food in and taking
it out of the appliance. This will help
save energy.
Food which should not be stored in
a refrigerator
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration.
These include:
Some types of vegetables give off a
natural gas which speeds up the rate
at which food perishes. Some fruit and
vegetables react strongly to this gas
and should not be stored together in
the vegetable containers.
Examples of fruit which produce a
large amount of this natural gas are:
Condensate and frost can build up on
the back wall of the appliance whilst it
is in use. These are automatically
removed and defrosted by the appliance.
The condensate is drained away via a
channel and drain hole into an evaporation system at the back of the appliance.
Ensure that the condensate channel
and drain hole are never blocked so
that condensate can flow away without hindrance.
Defrosting
15
Cleaning and care
Cleaning and care
Never use cleaning agents containing abrasive substances such as
sand, soda, acids or chemical solvents.
"Non-abrasive" cleaning agents are
also unsuitable as they can cause
matt areas to appear.
Make sure that no water can penetrate into the electronic unit or into
the light.
Do not let water get into the drainage channel and drain hole when
cleaning.
Never use steam cleaning apparatus to clean the appliance. The
steam could attack the electrical
components and cause a short circuit.
The data plate located inside the appliance must not be removed. It contains information which is required
in the event of a service call.
Cleaning the outer casing, the
interior and accessories
Use lukewarm water with a little washing up liquid. Accessories and shelves
should be hand washed only. The butter dish is, however, dishwasher safe.
Clean the refrigerator at least once a
month.
Clean the condensate channel and
drain hole frequently, so that condensate can drain away unhindered.
Use a straw or similar to clear the
drain if necessary.
After cleaning, wipe the outer casing, the interior and accessories with
a damp cloth and dry with a soft
cloth. Leave the door open to air the
appliance for a short while.
Ventilation gaps
The ventilation gaps should be
cleaned on a regular basis with a
brush or vacuum cleaner. A build up
of dust will increase the appliance’s
energy consumption.
Before cleaning
Switch the appliance off by turning
the On/Off dial to the "0" position.
Take any food out of the appliance
and store it in a cool place.
Take out any removable parts e.g.
shelves for cleaning.
16
Door seals
Do not use any oils or grease on the
door seals as these will cause the
seals to deteriorate and become
porous with time.
The door seals should be cleaned regularly with clean water and then wiped dry
with a soft cloth.
Metal grille at the back of the
appliance
The metal grille at the back of the appliance (heat exchanger) should be
dusted at least once a year. A build up
of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance.
When cleaning the grille, make sure
that the pipework and other components do not get broken or damaged in any way.
After cleaning
Replace all shelves and accessories
in the refrigerator.
Switch the appliance on with the
On / Off dial.
Place food back in the appliance
and close the door.
