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!
Disposal of your old appliance
Old appliances contain materials which
can be reclaimed or recycled. Please
contact your dealer, your waste collec
tion centre or scrap merchant about
potential recycling schemes.
Make sure that the pipework is not
damaged whilst moving an old appli
ance. This is to ensure that the refriger
ant 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.

Correct usage
This appliance is intended for
domestic 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.
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. 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.
This appliance contains the coolant
Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas
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 combusti
ble 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.

Warning and safety instructions
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 plinth or the top of the appli
ance housing unit 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 tempera
ture will lead to the appliance switching
off for longer periods so that it cannot
maintain the required temperature.
Never use steam cleaning
apparatus 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 appli
ance 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
appliance, 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.

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.
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.
An 8 will flash briefly in the temperature
display followed by a bar lighting up.
The appliance starts cooling. The
interior light will come on if the door is
opened.
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
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 appli
^
ance
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.
-
Switching off
^
Using a coin turn the On/Off dial in an
anti-clockwise direction back to the
"0" position.
The temperature display goes out. The
cooling process and the interior light
are switched off.

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,
if too much food is stored in it at
–
once,
– the warmer the food is which is being
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.
Using a coin turn the temperature
^
dial in a clockwise direction to the
required setting.
Turn it only as far as it will go, then
turn it back again. Turning it beyond
its range would damage it.
The higher the setting, the lower the
temperature in the appliance.
With normal use a setting of between 2
and 3 is usually sufficient.
Temperature display
During normal operation the temperature display on the control panel shows
the temperature in the warmest part of
the appliance.
If the temperature in the appliance is
not within the range which can be
displayed, i.e. between 2 and 9 °C, only
a bar will show in the temperature
display.
Temperature selection
The temperature is set with the temper
ature dial.
10
Natural air circulation inside the
appliance will mean that there are areas
-
inside the appliance which will be
warmer or colder than the temperature
displayed. As long as dynamic cooling
has not been engaged this is quite
normal.
Make use of the different temperature
zones for storing your food correctly.
Super cool and dynamic cooling
Super cool
The Super cool function can be used to
rapidly reduce the temperature to
approx. 2 °C.
Switching on the Super cool function
Super cool is particularly recom
mended for faster chilling of large loads
of fresh food or drink.
^ Press the Super cool button, the
Super cool indicator light will come
on.
The appliance works at full power to
lower the temperature in the appliance.
Switching off the Super cool function
The Super cool function switches itself
off automatically after approx. 6 hours.
The indicator light goes out and the
appliance continues running at normal
power.
To save energy the Super cool function
can be switched off once food and
drinks are sufficiently chilled.
^
Press the Super cool button. The
Super cool indicator light will go out.
The appliance continues running at
normal power.
-
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 tempera
ture 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.
^
Press the dynamic cooling button m.
The dynamic cooling indicator light
will go out.
