carefully! They contain important information on how to
install, use and maintain the appliance.
The manufacturer is not liable if you fail to comply with
the instructions and warnings. Retain all documents for
subsequent use or for the next owner.
Technical safety
This appliance contains a small quantity of
environmentally-friendly but flammable R600a
refrigerant. Ensure that the tubing of the refrigerant
circuit is not damaged during transportation
and installation. Leaking refrigerant may cause eye
injuries or ignite.
If damage has occurred
■ Keep naked flames and/or ignition sources away
from the appliance,
■ thoroughly ventilate the room for several minutes,
■ switch off the appliance and pull out the mains plug,
■ inform customer service.
The more refrigerant an appliance contains, the larger
the room must be in which the appliance is situated.
Leaking refrigerant can form a flammable gas-air
mixture in rooms which are too small.
The room must be at least 1 m³ per 8 g of refrigerant.
The amount of refrigerant in your appliance is indicated
on the rating plate inside the appliance.
If the power cord of this appliance is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer, customer service or a
similarly qualified person. Improper installations
and repairs may put the user at considerable risk.
Repairs may be performed by the manufacturer,

companies.
After installing the appliance, wait at least 1 hour until
the appliance starts up. During transportation the oil
in the compressor may have flowed into
the refrigeration system.
Before switching on the appliance for the first time,
clean the interior of the appliance (see chapter
“Cleaning the appliance”).
Electrical connection
The socket must be near the appliance and also freely
accessible following installation of the appliance.
The appliance complies with the protection class I.
Connect the appliance to 220-240 V/50 Hz alternating
current via a correctly installed socket with protective
conductor. The socket must be fused with a 10 to
16 A fuse.
For appliances operated in non-European countries,
the identification plate should be checked whether
the electric supply and the current model stated match
the values of the mains supply. The rating plate is

Refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator compartment is the ideal storage
location for ready meals, cakes and pastries, preserved
food, condensed milk, hard cheese, fruit
and vegetables sensitive to cold as well as tropical fruit.
When purchasing food, please note:
The “purchase freshness” is important for the shelf-life
of your food.
In principle, the fresher the produce when placed in
the “cool-fresh” compartment, the longer it stays fresh.
Therefore, when buying food, always pay attention to
the degree of freshness.
Observe the best-before date specified by the
manufacturer for ready products and bottled products.
Arranging food in the appliance
■ Wrap or cover food before placing in the appliance.
This will retain the aroma, colour and freshness of

between foods and the plastic parts will not become
discoloured.
■ Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before
placing in the appliance.
■ Do not block air outlet openings with food in
the refrigerator compartment, otherwise the air
circulation will be impaired.
Food which is stored directly in front of the air outlet
openings may be frozen by the cold air flowing out.
■ Avoid contact of oil and fat with the plastic parts
and door seal.
Super cooling
Super cooling cools the refrigerator compartment as
cold as possible for approx. 6 hours. Then
the appliance automatically switches to the temperature
set prior to super cooling mode.
Switch on super cooling mode, e.g.:
■ Before placing large quantities of food in
the refrigerator compartment
■ For fast cooling drinks
Switching on
Press super button refrigerator compartment.

Foods suitable for “cool-fresh” container:
In principle all foods which are fresh and are to remain
fresh for even longer, such as: fish, seafood, meat
and sausage, dairy products, and ready meals.
Foods not suitable for the “cool-fresh”
drawer:
Fruit and vegetables sensitive to cold (e.g.: tropical fruit
such as pineapples, bananas, papaya, citrus fruits,
melons as well as tomatoes, aubergines, zucchini,
capsicums, cucumbers, potatoes).
The ideal storage location for these foods is
the refrigerator compartment.
When purchasing food, please note:
The “purchase freshness” is important for the shelf-life
of your food.
In principle, the fresher the produce when placed in
the “cool-fresh” compartment, the longer it stays fresh.
