Dear customer, Before placing your new refrigerator/freezer into operation please read these operating instructions carefully. They contain important information 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. These operating instructions are for use with several technically com- parable models with varying accessories.
Safety The safety aspects of our refrigerators comply with accepted technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. Nevertheless, we con- sider it our obligation to make you aware of the following safety information: Intended use • The freezer is intended for use in the home. It is suitable for the fre- ezing of fresh food and storing frozen food, as well as for making ice.

Safety • Please make old appliances unusable prior to disposal. Pull out the mains plug, cut off the mains cable, break or remove spring or bolt catches, if fitted. By doing this you ensure that children cannot lock themselves in the appliance when playing (there is risk of suffocati- on!) or get themselves into other dangerous situations.

Installation Building-in See installation instructions supplied. Please check whether, after installing your appliance and especially after rehingeing the door, the door seal seals right round.

Ice packs There are two ice packs in one drawer of the freezer. Refer to the section “Prior to Initial Start–Up” concerning freezing of the ice packs. In the event of a power failure or malfunction, the ice packs will lengthen the amount of time it takes for the frozen food to defrost by several hours.

Starting up and temperature regulation Switch the appliance on by pressing the ON/OFF switch (5). The following effects are of significance in respect of the interior tem- perature: – Ambient temperature; – Quantity and temperature of the food stored; – Frequency with which the door is opened and how long it is left open.
Switching off the appliance To switch off the appliance, turn the thermostat control knob to posi- • tion „ “ and press the ON/OFF switch. If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period: 1. Remove all deep-frozen packages as well as ice-trays. 2.
2. All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods occurs. Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could stick to the food and cause skin abrasions.
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.
Tip: To speed up the defrosting process, place a pan with warm water in the appliance and close the door. Remove pieces of ice that have fallen before they completely defrost. 4. Remove the bottom drawer and dry the interior of the bottom com- partment thoroughly.
6. After everything is dry, switch to fast freeze. After running the appli- ance for two or three hours, it is ready again for storing frozen food. An accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause excessive electricity consumption. The structure of the appli- ance permits you to clean the rear zone close to the wall, using a vac- uum cleaner.
