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. If the floor is uneven, compensate with supports.

Distance from wall

Fig.
A gap is not required between the appliance and side wall. The containers and shelves are still fully extendable.

Reversing the door

(if required)
If required, we recommend that you have the door hinges changed over by our customer service. You can find out the costs for changing over the door hinges from your appropriate customer service.

While changing over the door hinges, ensure that the appliance is not connected to the power supply. Pull out the mains plug beforehand. To prevent damaging the back of the appliance, place adequate padding underneath. Carefully place the appliance on its back.

Note
If the appliance is placed on its back, ensure that the wall spacer is not fitted.

Ambient temperature and ventilation

Ambient temperature

The appliance is designed for a specific climate class. Depending on the climate class, the appliance can be operated at the following temperatures.
The climate class can be found on the rating plate. Fig.

Climate class	Permitted ambient temperature
SN	+10°C to 32°C
N	+16°C to 32°C
ST	+16°C to 38°C
T	+16°C to 43°C

Note
The appliance is fully functional within the room temperature limits of the indicated climatic class. If an appliance of climatic class SN is operated at colder room temperatures, the appliance will not be damaged up to a temperature of +5°C.

Ventilation

Fig.
The air on the rear panel of the appliance heats up. Conduction of the heated air must not be obstructed. Otherwise, the refrigerating unit must work harder. This increases power consumption. Therefore: Never cover or block the ventilation openings!

Connecting the appliance

After installing the appliance, wait at least 1 hour until the appliance is switched on. 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").

Electrical connection
The socket must be near the appliance and also freely accessible following installation of the appliance.

Risk of electric shock!
If the length of the mains cable is inadequate, never use multiple sockets or extension leads. Instead, please contact Customer Service for alternatives.

The appliance complies with protection class I. Connect the appliance to 220– 240 V/50 Hz alternating current via a correctly installed socket with protective conductor. The socket must be protected by a 10 A to 16 A fuse.
For appliances operated in nonEuropean countries, check whether the indicated voltage and current type match the values of your electricity supply. This information can be found on the rating plate, Fig.

Never connect the appliance to electronic energy saver plugs.
Our appliances can be used with mains and sine-controlled inverters. Mainscontrolled 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.

Switching the appliance on

Fig.
Switch on the appliance with the On/Off button 1.
The appliance begins to cool. Light is switched on when the door is open.
We recommend a setting of +4°C.

Operating tips

• After the appliance has been switched on, it may take several hours until the set temperatures have been reached.
  Do not put any food in the appliance beforehand.
• While the refrigeration unit is running, water droplets or a thin layer of ice may form at the rear panel of the refrigerator. This is nothing unusual. It is not necessary to scrape off the frost or wipe off the water droplets. The rear panel defrosts automatically. The condensation collects in the drainage channel, Fig. , and is conveyed to the refrigeration unit where it evaporates.
  
• The sides of the housing are sometimes heated slightly. This prevents condensation in the area of the door seal.
• If the freezer compartment door cannot be immediately re-opened after it has been closed, wait until the resulting low pressure has equalised.
• The refrigeration system may cause several areas of the freezer shelves to frost quickly. This does not affect function or power consumption. The appliance does not require defrosting until the entire surface of the freezer shelf is covered with more than 5 mm of frost or ice.

Setting the temperature

Fig.

Refrigerator compartment
The temperature can be set from +2°C to +8°C.
Keep pressing temperature setting button 4 until the required refrigerator compartment temperature is set.
The value last selected is saved. The set temperature is indicated on temperature display 2.

Freezer compartment
The temperature in the freezer compartment depends on the temperature in the refrigerator compartment.
Lower temperatures in the refrigerator compartment also cause lower temperatures in the freezer compartment.

Usable capacity

Information on the usable capacity can be found inside your appliance on the rating plate. Fig.

Fully utilising the freezer volume
The maximum amount of food can be placed in the freezer by removing all fittings. The food can be stacked directly on the shelves and in the bottom of the freezer compartment.

Removing the fittings
Pull out the frozen food container all the way, lift at the front and remove. Fig.

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
Avoid contact between food and rear panel. Otherwise the air circulation will be impaired.
Food or packaging could freeze to the rear panel.

Note the chill zones in the refrigerator compartment

The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment creates different chill zones:

• Warmest zone is at the very top of the door.
  Note
  Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in the warmest zone. Cheese can then continue to release its flavour and the butter will still be easy to spread.
• Coldest zone is in the pull-out container.
  Note
  Store perishable food (e.g. fish, sausage, meat) in the coldest zone.

Vegetable container with humidity controller

Fig.
To create the optimum storage climate for fruit and vegetables, you can set the air humidity in the vegetable container depending on the quantity stored:

• smaller quantities of fruit and vegetables – high air humidity
• large quantities of fruit and vegetables – low 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 type and quantity of products stored. Remove condensation with a dry cloth and adjust air humidity in the vegetable container with the humidity controller.

Freezer compartment

Use the freezer compartment

• To store deep-frozen food.
• To make ice cubes.
• To freeze food.

Note
Ensure that the freezer compartment door has been closed properly. If the door is open, the frozen food will thaw. The freezer compartment will become covered in thick ice. Also: waste of energy due to high power consumption!

Max freezing capacity

Information about the max. freezing capacity within 24 hours can be found on the rating plate. Fig.

Prerequisites for max. freezing capacity

• Switch on super freezing before placing fresh products in the compartment (see chapter entitled "Super freezing").
• Remove the fittings. The food can be stacked directly on the shelves and in the bottom of the freezer compartment.
• Freeze large quantities of food preferably in the very top compartment where food freezes particularly quickly and therefore also gently.
• Freeze fresh food as close as possible to the side panels.

Freezing and storing food

Purchasing frozen food

• Packaging must not be damaged.
• Use by the "use by" date.
• Temperature in the supermarket freezer must be -18°C or lower.
• If possible, transport deep-frozen food in an insulated bag and place quickly in the freezer compartment.

Freezing food

• Freeze fresh and undamaged food only.
• Keep food which is to be frozen away from food which is already frozen.
• To prevent food from losing its flavour or drying out, place in airtight containers.

Storing frozen food

Insert frozen food container all the way to ensure unrestricted air circulation.
If you have to store lots of food, it is possible to transfer the food to the glass shelves and stack it on the base of the freezer base.

1. To do this, remove all the frozen food containers.
2. Pull out the frozen food containers all the way, lift at the front and remove. Fig.

Freezing fresh food

Freeze fresh and undamaged food only.
To retain the best possible nutritional value, flavour and colour, vegetables should be blanched before freezing. Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and asparagus do not require blanching.
Literature on freezing and blanching can be found in bookshops.

Note
Keep food which is to be frozen away from food which is already frozen.

• The following foods are suitable for freezing:
  Cakes and pastries, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without shells, dairy products such as cheese, butter and quark, ready meals and leftovers such as soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and desserts.
• The following foods are not suitable for freezing:
  Types of vegetables, which are usually consumed raw, such as lettuce or radishes, eggs in shells, grapes, whole apples, pears and peaches, hard-boiled eggs, yoghurt, soured milk, sour cream, crème fraîche and mayonnaise.

Packing frozen food

To prevent food from losing its flavour or drying out, place in airtight containers.

1. Place food in packaging.
2. Remove air.
3. Seal the wrapping.
4. Label packaging with contents and date of freezing.

Suitable packaging:
Cling wrap, tubular film made of polyethylene, aluminium foil, freezer containers.
These products are available from specialist outlets.

Unsuitable packaging:
Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cellophane, bin liners and used shopping bags.

Items suitable for sealing packaged food:
Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, coldresistant adhesive tape, etc.
Bags and tubular film made of polyethylene (PE) can be sealed with a film heat sealer.

Shelf life of frozen food

Storage duration depends on the type of food.

At a temperature of -18°C:

• Fish, sausage, ready meals and cakes and pastries:
  up to 6 months
• Cheese, poultry and meat:
  up to 8 months
• Vegetables and fruit:
  up to 12 months

Super freezing

Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible in order to retain vitamins, nutritional value, appearance and flavour.
Several hours before placing fresh food in the freezer compartment, switch on super freezing to prevent an unwanted temperature rise.
As a rule, 4–6 hours is adequate.
This appliance runs constantly and the freezer compartment drops to a very low temperature.
If the max. freezing capacity is to be used, super freezing must be switched on for 24 hours before the fresh produce is placed in the freezer compartment.
Smaller quantities of food (up to 2 kg) can be frozen without "super freezing".

Switching on and off
Fig.
Keep pressing the temperature selection button 4 until the Super display 3 is lit.
Super freezing automatically switches off after approx. 2½ days.

Thawing frozen food

Depending on the type and application, select one of the following options:

• at room temperature
• in the refrigerator
• in an electric oven, with/without fan assisted hot-air
• in the microwave

Do not refreeze thawing or thawed food.
Only ready meals (boiled or fried) may be refrozen.
No longer store the frozen produce for the max. storage period.

Tips for saving energy

• Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room! The appliance should not be installed in direct sunlight or near a heat source (e.g. radiator, cooker).
  If required, use an insulating plate.
• Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance.
• Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator compartment and use the low temperature of the frozen food to cool refrigerated food.
• Regularly defrost the freezer compartment to remove the layer of frost.
  A layer of hoarfrost will impair refrigeration of the frozen food and increase power consumption.
• Open the appliance as briefly as possible.
• To avoid increased power consumption, occasionally clean the back of the appliance.
• If available:
  Fit wall spacers to obtain the indicated energy rating of the appliance (see Installation instructions). A reduced wall gap will not restrict the function of the appliance. The energy rating may then increase slightly. The gap of 75 mm must not be exceeded.
• The arrangement of the fittings does not affect the energy rating of the appliance.
