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
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,
customer service or a similarly qualified person only.
Only original parts supplied by the manufacturer may
be used. The manufacturer guarantees that only these
parts satisfy the safety requirements.
A power cable extension may be purchased from
customer service only.
The appliance comes with a UL registered 3-wire power
cord.
Never sever or remove the third (earth) conductor from
the power cord.
The appliance requires a 3-pole socket. The socket
may be connected by an electrician only.
Where there is a 2-pole standard wall socket, it is the
personal responsibility and duty of the customer to
have this socket replaced with a correctly earthed 3pole wall socket. Do not use any adapter plugs.
Important information when using the appliance
■ Never use electrical appliances inside the appliance
(e.g. heater, electric ice maker, etc.). Risk
of explosion!
■ Never use a steam cleaner to defrost or clean
the appliance! The steam may penetrate electrical
parts and cause a short-circuit. Risk of electric
shock!
■ Do not use pointed or sharp-edged implements
to remove frost or layers of ice. You could damage
the refrigerant tubes. Leaking refrigerant may ignite
or cause eye injuries.
■ Do not store products which contain flammable
propellants (e.g. spray cans) or explosive
substances in the appliance. Risk of explosion!
■ Do not stand on or lean heavily against base
of appliance, drawers or doors, etc.
■ Before defrosting and cleaning the appliance, pull
out the mains plug or switch off the fuse. Do not pull
out the mains plug by tugging the cable.
■ Bottles which contain a high percentage of alcohol
must be sealed and stored in an upright position.
■ Keep plastic parts and the door seal free of oil
and grease. Otherwise, parts and door seal will
become porous.

Installing the appliance
Have a technician install and connect the appliance
according to the enclosed installation instructions.
Transporting
The appliances are heavy and must be secured during
transportation and installation.
Because of the weight/dimensions of the appliance
and to minimise the risk of injuries and damage
to the appliance at least two persons are necessary
to set-up the appliance securely.
Installation location
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. To ensure that the ice maker
functions correctly, the appliance must be upright.

Electrical connection
, WARNING:
Avoid the risk of an electric shock!
, WARNING:
Insert into a grounded 3-phase socket. Never remove grounding phase. Do not use any adapters. Do not use any extension cables.
, WARNING:
Non-compliance with these instructions may
result in death, fire or an electric shock.
Improper connection of the protective conductor
may result in an electric shock. If you are in
doubt whether the appliance has been grounded
properly, have the appliance tested by
a qualified electrician or service technician.
The socket must be near the appliance and also freely
accessible following installation of the appliance.
The appliance complies with protection class I.
Connect the appliance to 115 V/60 Hz alternating
current via a correctly installed socket with protective
conductor. The socket must be fused with a 10 to 16 A
fuse.
The appliance comes with a UL registered 3-wire power
cord. The appliance requires a 3-pole socket.
Please observe the following table with regard to this:
Ventilation
The refrigeration unit is ventilated only via
the ventilation grille in the base. Never cover
the ventilation grille or place anything in front of it.
Otherwise the refrigeration unit must work harder,
increasing the power consumption.
Connecting the appliance
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”).
Appliance Maximum simulta-
neous load
Refrigerator 2.0 amps
Check on the rating plate whether the indicated voltage
and current type correspond with the values of your
power supply. The location of the rating plate can be
found in the chapter entitled Customer service.
, WARNING:
Never connect the appliance to electronic energy saver plugs.
Our appliances can be used with mains 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 (e.g. on ships or
in mountain lodges) which are not connected
directly to the national grid.

correctly or has been open too long.
Remedial action
Press the alarm button and close the door. The display

Refrigerator compartment
, WARNING:
Do not store explosive substances in the appliance. Risk of explosion!
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.
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 cooling button.
The symbol SUPER¾ is shown in the display panel.
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
the food. In addition, flavours will not be transferred
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.

en-us
“Cool-fresh” container
The temperature in the “cool-fresh” container is about
32 °F. The “cool-fresh” drawer is covered by a special
filter which sets the ideal humid climate.
The low temperature and the optimum moisture provide
ideal storage conditions for fresh food.
Food can be kept fresh up to three times longer than
in the normal cooling zone – for even longer freshness,
nutrient retention and flavour.
Selection buttons for “cool-fresh” container
Press the appropriate button corresponding to the food
stored.
■ FISH
For storage of fish and seafood.
■ MEAT/POULTRY
For the storage of meat products, poultry, sausage
and prepared meals.

herbs.
The selection is displayed by illumination
of the corresponding button.
When purchasing food, please note:
The “purchase freshness” is important for the shelf-life
