WARNING‒Risk of electric shock!

Incorrect installation is dangerous.
▶ Connect and operate the appliance only in accordance with the

specifications on the rating plate.

▶ Connect the appliance to a power supply with alternating cur-

rent only via a properly installed socket with earthing.

▶ The protective conductor system of the domestic electrical in-

stallation must be properly installed.

▶ Never equip the appliance with an external switching device,

en Preventing material damage

2 Preventing material

damage

ATTENTION!

Using the base, runners or appliance
doors as a seat surface or climbing
surface may damage the appliance.

▶ Do not stand or support yourself

on the base, runners or doors.
Contamination with oil or fat may
cause plastic parts and door seals to
become porous.

▶ Keep plastic parts and door seals

free of oil and grease.
Metal or metal-style parts in the appli­ance may contain aluminium. Alu­minium reacts when it comes into
contact with acidic foods.

▶ Do not store unpackaged food in

the appliance.
If you clean fittings and accessories
in the dishwasher, this may cause
them to become deformed or discol­our.

▶ Never clean fittings and accessory

in the dishwasher.

3 Environmental protec-

tion and saving energy

3.1 Disposing of packaging

The packaging materials are environ­mentally compatible and can be re­cycled.

▶ Sort the individual components by

type and dispose of them separ-

ately.

3.2 Saving energy

If you follow these instructions, your
appliance will use less power.

Selecting the installation location

¡ Keep the appliance out of direct

sunlight.

¡ Install the appliance as far away as

possible from heating elements,
cookers and other heat sources:
– Maintain a 30mm clearance to

electric or gas cookers.

– Maintain a 300mm clearance to

oil or solid-fuel cookers.

¡ Never cover or block the external

ventilation openings.

Saving energy during use

Note:The arrangement of the fittings

does not affect the energy consump­tion of the appliance.

¡ Open the appliance only briefly

and then close it carefully.

¡ Never cover or block the interior

ventilation openings or the exterior
ventilation openings.

¡ Transport purchased food in a

cool bag and place in the appli­ance quickly.

¡ Allow warm food and drinks to

cool down before storing them.

¡ Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator

compartment to utilise the low tem­perature of the food.

¡ Always leave some space between

the food and to the back panel.

8minutes for the motor to start up.

¡ Once you have switched on the

appliance, the set temperature is
only reached after several hours.
Do not put any food in the appli­ance until the set temperature has
been reached.

¡ When you close the door, a va-

cuum may be created. The door is
then difficult to open again. Wait a
moment until the vacuum is offset.

8.1 Super cooling

With Super cooling, the refrigerator
compartment cools as cold as pos­sible.
Switch on Super cooling before pla­cing large quantities of food.

Note:When Super cooling is
switched on, increased noise may
occur.

10 Refrigerator compart-

ment

You can keep meat, sausage, fish,
dairy products, eggs, prepared meals
and pastries in the refrigerator com­partment.
The temperature can be set from
2°C to 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 longer the food remains
fresh.

Defrosting en

10.1 Tips for storing food in

the refrigerator compart­ment

¡ Only store food when fresh and

undamaged.

¡ Store food covered or in air-tight

packaging.

¡ To avoid impeding the circulation

of air and to prevent food from
freezing, do not place food so that
it has direct contact with the back
wall.

¡ Allow hot food and drinks to cool

down first before placing in the ap­pliance.

¡ Observe the best-before date or

use-by date specified by the manu­facturer.

10.2 Chill zones in the refri-

gerator 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.

Tip:Store highly perishable food
such as fish, sausages and meat in
the coldest zone.

Warmest zone

The warmest zone is at the very top
of the door.

Tip:Store food that does not spoil
easily in the warmest zone, e.g. hard
cheese and butter. Cheese can then
continue to release its aroma and the
butter will still be easy to spread.

10.3 "OK" sticker

The "OK" sticker lets you check
whether the refrigerator compartment
reaches the safe temperature ranges
of +4°C or colder recommended for
food.
The "OK" sticker is not included with
all models.
If the sticker does not indicate "OK",
gradually reduce the temperature.
→"Setting the refrigerator compart-

ment temperature", Page14

Once the appliance is switched on, it
may take up to 12hours until the set
temperature is reached.

Correct setting

11 Defrosting

11.1 Defrosting in the refri­gerator compartment

When the appliance is operating,
condensation droplets or frost form
on the rear panel of the refrigerator
compartment due to functional reas­ons. The back panel in the refriger­ator compartment defrosts automatic­ally.

15

en Cleaning and servicing

Condensation runs through the con­densation channel into the drainage
hole to the evaporation pan and does
not have to be wiped away.
To ensure that the condensation can
drain and odours do not form, ob­serve the following information:
→"Cleaning the condensation chan-
nel and drainage hole", Page17.

12 Cleaning and servi-

cing

To keep your appliance working effi­ciently for a long time, it is important
to clean and maintain it carefully.
Customer Service must clean inac­cessible points. Cleaning by cus­tomer service can give rise to costs.

12.1 Preparing the appliance for cleaning

1. Switch off the appliance.

→Page14

2. Disconnect the appliance from the

power supply.

the food.

4. If there is a layer of hoarfrost, allow

this to defrost.

5. Remove all fittings and accessor-

ies from the appliance.
