Technical specifications
Refrigerant, cubic capacity and further technical specifications can be found on the rating plate.
Installing the appliance
Installation location
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.
The weight of the appliance may be up to 60 kg depending on the model.
Permitted room temperature
The permitted room temperature depends on the climatic class of the appliance.
Information on the climatic class can be found on the rating plate.
Climatic category
SN +10 °C ... 32 °C
N +16 °C ... 32 °C
ST +16 °C ... 38 °C
T +16 °C ... 43 °C
The appliance is fully functional within the permitted room temperature.
If an appliance of climatic class SN is operated at colder room temperatures, the appliance will not be damaged up to a room temperature of +5 °C.
Permitted room temperature
Cavity depth
A cavity depth of 56 cm is recommended for the appliance. If the cavity depth is smaller – at least 55 cm – the energy consumption increases slightly.

Electrical connection
Caution!
Do not connect the appliance to electronic energy saver plugs.
Note: You can connect the appliance
to mains-controlled and sine-controlled inverters. Mains-controlled inverters are used for photovoltaic systems which are connected directly to the national grid. Sine-controlled inverters must be used for isolated applications. Isolated applications, e.g. on ships or in mountain lodges, which are not connected directly to the national grid.
1. After installing the appliance, wait at
least 1 hour before connecting it to prevent damaging the compressor.
2. Connect the appliance via a
correctly installed socket. The socket must comply with the following data: Socket with 220 V ... 240 V Conductor 50 Hz Fuse 10 A ... 16 A Outside Europe: Check whether the indicated current type of the appliance corresponds with the values of your power supply.

compartment
Refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator compartment is suitable for storing meat, sausages, fish, dairy products, eggs, ready meals and pastries.
The temperature can be set from +2 °C ... +8 °C.
The refrigerator compartment can also be used to store highly perishable foods in the short to medium term. The lower the selected temperature, the slower the enzymatic and chemical processes and deterioration by microorganisms. A temperature of +4 °C or lower ensures optimum freshness and safety of the stored foods.
Note when storing food
Store fresh, undamaged food.
The quality and freshness will then be retained for longer.
In the case of ready products and
bottled goods do not exceed the minimum sell-by date or use-by-date indicated by the manufacturer.
To retain aroma, colour
and freshness, pack or cover food well before placing it in the appliance. This avoids transference of flavours and discolouration of the plastic parts.
Leave warm food and drinks to cool
down before placing them in the refrigerator compartment.
Note the chill zones in the refrigerator compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment creates different chill zones.
Coldest zone
The coldest zone is between the arrow stamped on the side and the shelf underneath.
~ Fig. *
Note: Store perishable food (e.g. fish,
sausages and meat) in the coldest zone.
Warmest zone
The warmest zone is at the very top of the door.
Note: Store e.g. hard cheese and
butter in the warmest zone. Cheese can continue to release its flavour and the butter will still be easy to spread.
Vegetable container with humidity control
~ Fig. + The vegetable container is the best
storage location for fresh fruit and vegetables. You can adjust the air humidity in the vegetable container via the humidity controller and a special seal. This allows fresh fruit and vegetables to be stored twice as long as with conventional storage.
11
Page 12
en Defrosting
The air humidity in the vegetable container can be set according to the type and amount of products to be stored:
Mainly fruit as well as for a large
load – set lower air humidity
Mainly vegetables as well as for
a mixed load or small load – set higher air humidity
Notes
Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g.
pineapple, banana, papaya and citrus fruit) and vegetables sensitive to cold (e.g. aubergines, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes and potatoes) should be stored outside the refrigerator at temperatures of approx. +8 °C – +12 °C for optimum preservation of quality and flavour.
Condensation may form in the
vegetable container depending on the food and quantity stored. Remove condensation with a dry cloth and adjust air humidity in the vegetable container with the humidity controller.
= Defrosting
Defrosting
Refrigerator compartment
While the refrigerating unit is running, condensation droplets or frost form on the rear panel. This is due to functional reasons. It is not necessary to wipe off the condensation droplets or frost. The rear panel defrosts automatically. The condensation drains off into the condensation channel.
~ Fig. , The condensation runs from the
condensation channel to the evaporation pan where it evaporates.
Note: Keep the condensation channel
and drainage hole clean so that the condensation can drain and odours do not form.
D Cleaning
Cleaning
Caution! Avoid damaging the appliance and the fittings.
Do not use abrasive, chloride or
acidic cleaning agents or solvents.
Do not use scouring or abrasive
sponges. The metallic surfaces may corrode.
Never clean the shelves
or containers in the dishwasher. The parts may become deformed.
Proceed as follows:
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Pull out the mains plug or switch off
the fuse.
3. Take out the food and store in a cool
location. If present: place ice pack on the food.
4. If present: wait until the layer of frost
has thawed.
5. Clean the appliance with a soft cloth,
lukewarm water and a little pH-neutral washing-up liquid.
Caution!
The rinsing water must not run into the light or through the drainage hole into the evaporation area.
6. Wipe door seal with clear water and
dry thoroughly with a cloth.
7. Reconnect and switch on appliance
and put in food.
