Before using for the fi rst time
∙ Remove any exterior and interior packaging materials
completely, including the red transport securing devices.
∙ The packaging materials must be properly disposed of.
∙ NOTE: When the door to the freezer unit is opened, a small
red component will fall out; this is for transport only and can
be disposed of.
∙ Fit the two spacer
elements (provided) into
the corresponding guide
slots on the rear.
∙ Before it is connected to
the mains, the unit must
be thoroughly checked for
transport damage, including its power cord.
∙ Clean the unit as described in the section De-frosting and
cleaning.
∙ For positioning, we recommend that you tilt the unit slightly
backwards. In this way, the transport rollers can be used to
move it to its intended place of installation.
∙ The unit should only be transported in its vertical position;
do not tilt any more than 30°.
∙ Once the unit has been positioned, wait for about 30
minutes before it is connected to the mains.
∙ If the unit has been tilted more than 30° during transport,
allow it to stand upright for at least 4 hours before it is
connected to the mains.
∙ When the unit is fi rst switched on, a slight ‘new’ smell may
be noticed. However, this will disappear once the cooling
process has begun.
Installation
∙ The appliance should be set up in a well-ventilated, dry room.
∙ It should be operated in conditions where the relative
humidity is no more than 70 %.
∙ The product data sheet contains details of the ambient
temperature range suitable for this appliance.
∙ Do not use the appliance outdoors.
∙ Ensure that the plug is accessible and can be removed from
the wall socket at any time.
∙ Do not expose the appliance to direct sunlight, and do not
position it next to any heat sources (radiators, cookers etc). If
this cannot be avoided, however, suitable insulation must be in
installed between the heat source and the unit.
∙ The unit must not be installed inside a cabinet, nor directly
below a hanging cupboard, shelf or similar object.
∙ In the case of uneven fl oors, the adjustable feet on the unit
can be used to compensate and ensure optimum stability.
∙ If the unit is installed next to a wall, a minimum lateral
distance of 225 mm is necessary, so that the doors can open
wide enough for the drawers to be taken out.
Set-up dimensions
Ventilation
The heated air around the rear of the unit must be able to
circulate freely. Therefore, ensure that the air circulation behind
the unit is not obstructed.
Caution: Ensure at all times that the rear ventilation
openings around the top cover are not obstructed.
Reversible door
If required, the door may be reversed, i.e. from right-hinged (default

Temperature control
The unit is re-activated by connecting it to the mains. It is only
switched off completely when the plug is removed from the wall
socket.
The temperature in the refrigerator cabinet can be adjusted by
setting the temperature control. Turning the control clockwise
will decrease the temperature, while turning it anti-clockwise
will increase it.
The medium settings are usually most suitable for home use.
We recommend using a thermometer to check the actual
temperature inside the cabinet and make adjustments as
necessary.
Following a power interruption, or if the unit has been switched
off on purpose, it may take 3 to 5 minutes before it switches
on again.
In position ‘0’, the cooling function is switched off, though
the appliance is still connected to the mains.
Interior lighting
Caution: do not remove the cover of the interior LED light. If
there should be any malfunction, please contact the customer
service for assistance.
Freezer compartment door
To ensure that frozen food will not de-frost prematurely, the
door to the freezer compartment should be kept closed at all
times. This will also prevent an undue build-up of ice and frost.
Ensure, therefore, that the door is only opened briefl y to place
food in the freezer compartment or to remove it.
Freezing and storing food
∙ The temperatures inside the refrigerator cabinet and freezer
compartment depend mainly on the ambient temperature,
the temperature control setting and the amount of food
stored.
Freezer compartment:
∙ The freezer compartment is designed for deep-freezing and
long-term storage of frozen food, and for making ice cubes.
∙ The quick-freeze compartment inside the freezer cabinet
carries the symbol
.
∙ To ensure that nutritious elements such as vitamins are
not lost, fresh food should be deep-frozen right through as
quickly as possible. To that effect, the prepared food should
be placed into the freezer compartments, properly spaced in
one or two rows.
∙ Avoid contact with food that has already been frozen.
∙ Caution: Do not exceed the maximum freezing capacity
per day. The product data sheet contains details of the
maximum daily freezing capacity.
∙ Set the temperature control to Max. After 24 hours, once the
food is well frozen, the temperature control can be set back
to its original position.
∙ To ensure suffi cient distribution
of cold air, keep a minimum
distance of 3 cm between the
vapouriser assembly and the
tray containing the food to be
frozen.
∙ The time required to freeze food
may be shortened by dividing it into smaller portions.
∙ Suitable packaging materials for frozen food are transparent
(i.e. non-coloured) plastic wrap or bags, or aluminium foil.
The packaging materials should be well aired before use;
check that the package is air-tight before freezing the food.
We strongly recommend that you label every item stored in
the freezer with all relevant information such as type of food,
freezing date and use-by date.
∙ Do not attempt to deep-freeze carbonated beverages, warm
food or any kind of bottled liquids.
∙ Frozen food can be defrosted in the refrigerator. This way,
the food is defrosted at a slower rate, retaining its taste.
Furthermore, the frozen food helps to keep the temperature
inside the refrigerator at its intended level.
Use-by dates for frozen food are specifi ed (in months) in
the table below.
Do not exceed these storage times.
However, always observe the manufacturer’s use-by dates for
the frozen food.
∙ If the unit remains switched off for an extended period (eg
during a power failure), the door should be kept closed;
this will help to maintain the lowest possible temperature
in the cabinet. The product data sheet contains detailed
information of the maximum safe storage time in case of
malfunction. Even a slight rise in the inside temperature will
shorten the storage life of the food.
Zero-degree zone
∙ Keeps perishable foods - vegetables, meat, fi sh and dairy
products - fresh for longer.
Page 7
17
Main cabinet
∙ Different areas of the refrigerator cabinet are affected
differently by the cooling effect. The warmest area is around
the door in the higher part of the cabinet, the coldest around
the rear wall and in the lower part of the cabinet.
∙ The food should therefore be stored as follows:
∙ On main cabinet shelves (from top to bottom): bakery items,
ready meals, dairy products, meat, fi sh and cold meats/
sausages.
∙ In the vegetable compartment: vegetables, salad and fruit.
∙ In the door (from top to bottom): butter, cheese, eggs, tubes
(eg mustard), small bottles, large bottles, milk and fruit-juice
tetra-packs.
∙ Initially, the temperature control should be set to position 4.
If the cooling effect is too strong, lower it to position 1-3; if it
is insuffi cient, raise it to 5-7.
If you notice frost on the rear wall, the most likely cause
is that the door has been left open for too long, or that
warm food has been placed inside the refrigerator or
that the temperature control has been set too high.
∙ Liquid or strong-smelling food, or food which is likely to
absorb strong odours (e.g. cheese, fi sh, butter), should be
stored separately or in hermetically sealed containers.
∙ Warm food should be left to cool down to room
temperature before being placed in the refrigerator.
∙ Always ensure that the door is properly closed and that the
seal is not obstructed by food stored inside the cabinet or
door.
De-frosting and cleaning
∙ Always remove the plug from the wall socket before
cleaning.
∙ Do not pour water over or inside the unit.
∙ For frequent cleaning we recommend the use of warm water
with some mild detergent. To prevent any unpleasant odour
within the refrigerator, it should be cleaned about once a
month.
∙ Any accessories should be cleaned separately with soapy
water. Do not put them in a dishwasher.
∙ Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions or any
cleaning agents that contain alcohol.
∙ After cleaning, thoroughly clean all surfaces with fresh water
before wiping them completely dry. When re-inserting the
plug into the wall socket ensure that you have dry hands.
∙ To save energy and to ensure optimum performance, the
condenser (at the rear) as well as the compressor should
be cleaned at least twice a year with a broom or a vacuum
cleaner.
∙ Take care not to remove or damage the rating plate inside
the cabinet during cleaning.
When de-frosting the freezer compartment
Once the build-up of ice inside the freezer compartment has
reached a thickness of 2-4 mm, it needs to be de-frosted. This
should be done at least twice a year.
∙ Ensure that the plug has been removed from the wall
socket.
∙ Remove all food from the compartment, wrap it in
newspaper and store it in a cool place to keep the
temperature down. Note that, even with a slight increase in
temperature, the storage life will be shortened and the food
should be used as soon as possible.
∙ Pull out the drain channel from
the freezer cabinet, turn it 180°
and secure it (see diagram).
Place a suitable container
underneath the channel outlet.
∙ Keep the door open. To
accelerate defrosting, one or
several containers with hot (but not boiling) water may be
placed inside the freezer compartment.
Warning: do not use any external device or other means
(e.g. heaters or heating fans) to accelerate de-frosting.
∙ After cleaning, ensure that the freezer compartment is
thoroughly dried and set the temperature control to its
maximum position. After 24 hours. it may turned back to its
normal setting.
Defrosting the refrigerator cabinet :
The integral vapouriser is sealed in foam in the rear wall; you
may therefore notice a build-up of frost around the rear area.
This layer of frost will start melting when the compressor is not
working. Through a system of hoses, the melt-water drains
into the collection tray below the compressor, where it will be
absorbed into the surrounding air. The unit does not therefore
require de-frosting, but only proper cleaning instead.
∙ To enable the melt-water to drain freely, always ensure that
the channel and discharge opening in the cabinet are free of
any blockage.
∙ Any water collecting in the bottom should be removed.
Trouble-shooting
∙ Certain typical sounds can be heard when the appliance is
switched on. These sounds are:
∙ caused by the
electrical motor within
the compressor
assembly; during
compressor start-up
the sound level will be
slightly higher for a
limited period of time.
∙ caused by the cooling agent fl owing through the circuit.
∙ The following table lists possible malfunctions and their
probable ca uses and solutions. In the event of operational
problems, check fi rst whether a solution can be found using
this table. If the problem persists, disconnect the appliance
from the mains power and contact our Customer Service
Department.

Transporting the appliance
To prevent damage to the unit during transport, ensure that all
accessories and components inside and around the appliance
are securely fastened.
The unit must only be transported in its vertical position; do not
tilt any more than 30°.
Once the unit has been positioned, wait for about 30 minutes
before it is connected to the mains.
If the unit has been tilted more than 30° during transport, allow
it to stand in an upright position for at least 4 hours before it is
connected to the mains.
