Dear customer, Before placing your new refrigerator/freezer into operation please read these operating instructions carefully. They contain important informa- tion for safe use, for installation and for care of the appliance. Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the appliance.
Intended use • The refrigerator is intended for use in the home. It is suitable cooling, freezing and storing of frozen food, as well as for making ice. If the appliance is used for purposes other than those intended or used incorrectly, no liability can be accepted by the manufacturer for any damage that may be caused.

• Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze to the food. • Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigerator and/or freezer (e.g. electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.). • Before cleaning the appliance, always switch off the appliance and unplug it, or pull the house fuse or switch off the circuit breaker.
Disposal Appliance Packaging Information All materials are environmentally sound! They can be disposed of or burned at an incinerating plant without danger. About the materials: The plastics can be recycled and are identified as follows: >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. the outer covering and the bags in the interior.
Climate classification If the refrigeration appliance is installed next to another refrigerator or freezer a clearance of 5 cm at the sides is required, in order to pre- vent the formation of condensation on the outside of the appliance.
Installation If your refrigerator is installed under a continuous worktop, an air outlet opening of at least 200 cm ventilation grille (A/B) matching the worktop design should be installed at the rear of the worktop. The cut surfaces of the worktop (C) should be varnished to avoid swelling due to penetration of moisture.
7. Unscrew the handle. Refit it on the oppo- site side after having pushed in the plugs with a punch. Cover the holes left open with the plugs contained in the docu- mentation pack.

Installation Alternatively a concealed spur socket fitted with a 13 A fuse may be fitted. If the socket is not accessible once the appliance is built in, the electri- cal installation must include suitable means of isolating the appliance from the mains (e.g. fuse, cut-out, current trip or similar with a mini- mum contact separation of 3 mm).
4.Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands of wire pre- sent and the cord clamp must be secure over the outer sheath. Warning! A cut-off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that the cut-off plug is disposed of safely.
(approx. 5 sec.) to the display of the ACTUAL temperature. DESIRED temperature means: The temperature that is required in the refrigerator or freezer compart- ment, this can be adjusted to the temperatures shown in the display. The DESIRED temperature is indicated by a flashing light.
• During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the refrigerator or freezer compartment (ACTUAL temperature) is dis- played, the corresponding light illuminates. • If the temperature in the refrigerator is warmer than the display range of the temperature display, all the lights in the temperature display are extinguished.
DESIRED temperature will be resumed. If the FROSTMATIC function is switched on the temperature setting may not be changed. safety point of view, +5°C for the refrigerator com- The FROSTMATIC function accelerates the freezing of fresh food and, at the same time, protects foodstuffs already stored from undesirable warming.
COOLMATIC Button The COOLMATIC function is suited for quick cooling of large quantities of goods in the refrigerator, e.g. drinks and salads for a party. 1. The COOLMATIC function is switched on by pressing the COOLMATIC button. The yellow light illuminates.
Interior Accessories Storage shelves/glass shelves Various glass or plastic storage shelves and wire trays are included with your appliance - different models have different combinations. You should always slide one of the full size glass storage shelves into the lowest set of guides, above the vegetable drawers, and keep it in this position.
2. Please do the same in reverse to insert the shelf at a different height. The variable box can be hung from a storage shelf in the refrigerator com- partment: 1. Pull the storage shelf forward until it can be tipped up or down and removed.

1. To freeze the maximum quantity shown on the rating plate press the FROSTMATIC button 24 hours prior to freezing, or 4 to 6 hours for smaller quantities. Yellow display lights up. The FROSTMATIC button need not be pressed for freezing of small quantities.
Preparation of Ice Cubes 1. Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer compartment and leave to freeze. 2. To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend the ice cube tray or hold it under running water for a few seconds.
1. Switch on the FROSTMATIC function a few hours before defrosting to make sure frozen food remains sufficiently frozen. 2. Remove frozen food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and store it, covered, in a cool place. 3. Switch off the appliance and unplug it, or disconnect from the elec- tricity supply.

Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance parts. • Do not use any abrasive cleansers. 1. Remove frozen food and the food from the refrigerator. Wrap frozen food in several layers of newspaper. Store it in a cool place, well cov- ered.
Energy Saving Tips • Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources of warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent operation of the compressor. • Ensure sufficient air circulation and exhaust at the appliance base and at the back wall of the appliance. Never cover air vent openings. •...

What to do if ... Symptom All the lights in the tem- perature display are flash- ing. Appliance cools too much. The food is too warm. Interior lighting does not work. Heavy build up of frost, possibly also on the door seal.
5. Change the defective light bulb. 6. Refit the light bulb cover and the screw. 7. Put the refrigerator back into operation. During operation at low ambient temperature, the light bulb works at a lower intensity. That allows an optimal distribution of the tempera- ture between the fridge and the freezer compartment.
Noises during Operation The following noises are characteristic of refrigeration appliances: • Clicks Whenever the compressor switches on or off, a click can be heard. • Humming As soon as the compressor is in operation, you can hear it humming. •...
Technical terminology • Refrigerant Liquids that can be used to a generate a cooling effect are known as refrigerants. They have a relatively low boiling-point, indeed so low, that the warmth from the food stored in the fridge or freezer can cause the refrigerant to boil and vaporise.
