1 Important Safety Instructions The safety aspects of our refrigerators comply with accepted technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. Nevertheless, we consider it our obligation to make you aware of the following safety information: Intended use • The refrigerator is intended for use in the home. It is suitable for the storing of food at low temperature.
Important Safety Instructions • 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 fridge when playing (there is risk of suffocation!) or get themselves into other dangerous situations. • Often children cannot recognise the hazards present in household appliances.
2 Environmental Information Packaging All transit packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be reused. Wood is un-treated. The plastics can be recycled and are identified as follows: >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. the outer covering and the bags in the interior. >PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g. the pads, which are pure hydrocarbon compounds and can be recycled. The carton parts are made from recycled paper. Please dispose of the packaging with due care for the environment.
Appliance Transport Two persons are required for transport of the appliance. There are two recessed handles at the front of the base and at the back of the appliance at the top for improved gripping. 0 1.

Appliance Description Temperature Display The temperature display can indicate several pieces of information. • During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the refrigerator (ACTUAL temperature) is displayed. • When the temperature is being adjusted a flashing display indicates the fridge compartment temperature currently set (DESIRED temperature). • If there is a fault in the appliance the temperature display shows a square in the upper part of the temperature display.
Chilling of food Place the food in the fridge. Open the fan regulator to maximum and press the COOLMATIC button. The yellow indicator light comes on. When the drinks or the food is sufficiently cooled, press the COOLMATIC button again. The yellow indicator light goes out. Set the fan regulator to the minimum position. 3 When this function has been activated, forced air will chill the groceries, and the temperature in the cabinet reset to +2 °C. After 6 hours the COOLMATIC function is ended automatically.
Temperature Adjustment With the buttons for temperature adjustment the desired temperatures in the refrigerator can be adjusted. 0 1. Press either the „+“ (WARMER) or „-“ (COLDER) button. The temperature display switches over and the DESIRED temperature currently set flashes on the temperature display. 2. To adjust to a warmer temperature, press the „+“ (WARMER) button. To adjust to a colder temperature, press the „-“ (COLDER) button. The changed setting is immediately displayed on the temperature display.
If the appliance is to be removed from service for a lengthy period: 0 1. Switch off the appliance, to do this press the ON/OFF button until the display extinguishes (see above). 2. Remove the mains plug or switch off. 3. Clean the appliance thoroughly (see section: "Maintenance and Cleaning"). 4. Leave door open to avoid accumulation of odours. Holiday Mode In the holiday mode the temperature for the refrigerator is approximately +15 °C.
Control and Information Systems The control and information systems consist of the temperature display, an optical warning display and an acoustic warning. The system warns if: – if the appliance door remains open for longer than 5 minutes; – if the temperature in the fridge compartment is too warm; – functional disturbances at the appliance. "Open Door"-Warning If the fridge door is left open for longer than 5 minutes the red warning display will flash and an acoustic warning tone will sound.
Interior Accessories Storage Shelves The shelf in the lowest runners over the fruit and vegetable drawer must always remain in this position, so that fruit and vegetables stay fresher for longer. The remaining storage shelves can be adjusted to various heights: 0 1. Pull the storage shelf forward until it can be tipped up or down and removed. 2. To insert at a different height use the same procedure in reverse. Adjustment for tall items: 0 1.
Interior Accessories 2. If the large divider is inserted in the middle of the drawer the right hand side can be further divided by inserting the small divider in the middle or rear position. 3 The ventilation grille above the vegetable drawer improves air circulation so that groceries keep for longer. Bottle Rack Place bottles in the rack with the bottleneck to the front. Important: Only store unopened bottles horizontally. The bottle rack can be tilted for storing opened bottles. 0 1.
Bottle- and Can Holder The side of the bottle- and can holder is moveable to enable a more flexible placement of cans and bottles in front of the grid. To alow the holder to be moved easier when moving sideways, press the shelf backwards. The bottle support can be pulled out when chilling larger bottles. Dismantling of the Bottle- and Can Holder 0 1. Take out the quick chill shelf with holder from the cabinet. 2.
Correct Storage The cooling fan ensures an even temperature distribution in the fridge. There is a max. temperature difference of 1 °C. Foods with different perishability can therefore be arranged on the shelves as you like, without having to take into account the different temperature zones which usually occur. The temperature in the fruit and vegetable drawer is around 3 - 4 °C higher than the fridge temperature set. The example arrangement opposite shows possible ways of storing food.
Cleaning and Maintenance For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly. 1 Warning! • The appliance may not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse. • Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner.
5. Regularly unblock the condensation water drainage hole in the rear wall of the refrigeration chamber using a piece of flexible curtain wire. 2 Accumulation of dust at the condenser reduces cooling performance and increases energy consumption. For this reason carefully clean the condenser at the back of the appliance once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. 6. After everything is dry place appliance back into service.

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. • Bubbling/Splashing When refrigerant flows into thin tubes, you can hear bubbling or splashing noises. Even after the compressor has been switched off, this noise can be heard for a short time.
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. • Refrigerant Circuit Closed circulation system that contains the refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit comprises primarily of an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser and pipe work.
