enInstruction for Use
Safety and warning
information
Before you switch ON the
appliance
Please read the operating and
installation instructions 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
The tubes of the refrigeration
circuit convey a small quantity of
an environmentally friendly but
flammable refrigerant (R600a). It
does not damage the ozone
layer and does not increase the
greenhouse effect. If refrigerant
escapes, it may injure your eyes
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.

A dry, well ventilated room is suitable as
an installation location. The installation
location should not be exposed to direct
sunlight and not placed near a heat
source, e.g. a cooker, radiator, etc. If
installation next to a heat source is
unavoidable, use a suitable insulating
plate or observe the following minimum
distances from the heat source:
■ 3 cm to electric or gas cookers.
■ 30 cm to an oil or coal-fired cooker.
The floor of the installation location must
not give way; if required, reinforce floor. If
the floor is uneven, compensate with
supports.

Refrigerator
compartment
The refrigerator compartment is the ideal
storage location for meat, sausage, fish,
dairy products, eggs, ready meals
and pastries.
Storing food
■ Store fresh, undamaged food. The
quality and freshness will then
be retained for longer.
■ In the case of ready-made products
and bottled goods, observe the bestbefore date or use-by date specified
by the manufacturer.
■ To retain aroma, colour
and freshness, pack or cover food
well before placing in the appliance.
This will prevent the transfer
of flavours and the discolouration
of plastic parts in the refrigerator
compartment.
■ Allow warm food and drinks to cool
down before placing in the appliance.
Note
Do not block air outlet openings with
food, 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.
18
Note the chill zones in the
refrigerator compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment creates different chill
zones:
■ The coldest zones are in front of the
air outlet openings and in the chill
compartment, Fig. !/29.
Note
Store perishable food (e.g. fish,
sausage, meat) in the coldest zones.
■ Warmest zone is at the very top of the
door.
Note
Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in
the warmest zone. The aroma of hard
cheese can then continue to develop
and butter remains spreadable.
en
Super cooling
Super cooling sets the refrigerator
temperature to the coldest temperature
setting 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 the fast cooling of drinks.
Switching on and off
Fig. $
1. Select the refrigerator section using
the °C button.
2. Press the super button until the super
cooling display lights up.

cooling. After 6 hours, the previously set
temperature is automatically restored.
Note
When super cooling is switched on,
increased operating noises may occur.
19
en
The hyperFresh
compartment
The temperature in the cool-fresh
compartment is about 0 °C. The low
temperature and the optimum moisture
provide ideal storage conditions for fresh
food.
Food can be kept fresh up to three times
longer in the cool-fresh compartment
than in the normal cooling zone – for
even longer freshness, nutrient retention
and flavour.
Vegetable container
Fig. '
The vegetable container is the optimum
storage location for fresh fruit and
vegetables. The humidity controller of the
partition and a special seal can be used
to adjust the air humidity in the vegetable
container.
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
– lower air humidity
■ Mainly vegetables as well as for a
mixed load or small load – 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 to +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.
