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.

Refrigerator
compartment
The refrigerator compartment is the ideal
storage location for meat, sausage, fish,
dairy products, eggs, ready meals
and pastries.
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. !/26.
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.
Note
