Safety The safety aspects of our refrigerators/freezers 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 cooling, freezing and storing of frozen food, as well as for making ice.
mains plug, cut off the mains cable, break or remove spring or boltcatches, 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.
Disposal Appliance Packaging Information All materials are environmentally sound! They can be dumped 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. >PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g. the pads, which are all free of chlorofluorocarbon.
Installation Installation Location The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room. Energy use is affected by the ambi‡‡ent temperature. The appliance should therefore – not be exposed to direct sunlight; – not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat; – only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature corresponds to the climate classification, for which the appliance is designed.
Your appliance needs air Air flows in from under the door, at the front, and flows out upwards, over the back. For correct air circulation, it is important that the ventilation openings are not covered or obstructed. Important! If the appliance is positioned under a kitchen wall unit, a minimum clearance of 10 cm must be left between the top of the appliance and the overhanging wall unit.
Rehingeing the door The side at which the door opens can be changed from the right side (factory adjustment) to the left side, if the installation site requires. Warning! When changing the side at which the door opens, the appliance may not be connected to the mains. Remove plug from the mains before hand. G Procced as follow: 1. 2. Remove the plastic cover (F) from the ventilation grill (D) and refit it on the opposite side. 3.

Important! The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green and Yellow Earth Blue Neutral Brown Live As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings indentifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: 1. The wire coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter „E“ or by the earth symbol or coloured green and yellow. 2.
Temperature adjustment with ambient temperature below +16°C When the ambient temperature in the room in which the appliance is situated is less than 16° C, the ambient switch (2) must be depressed. The yellow pilot light (1) comes on. In this way, when the ambient temperature is low, the compressor operates for longer periods to ensure that the storage temperature of -18° C is maintained inside the freezer compartment.
Interior Accessories Storage shelves • You should always slide one of the full size glass storage shelf into the lowest set of guides, above the fruit and the vegetable containers, and keep it in this position. • The height of the storage shelves can be adjusted: • To do this pull the storage shelf forward until it can be swivelledupwards or downwards and removed. • Please do the same in reverse to insert the shelf at a different height.
Fresh food refrigeration To obtain the best performance: • do not store warm food or evaporating liquide in the refrigeator • do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour. • Position food so that air can circuiate freely round it. Useful hints: Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer(s)For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.
• Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause increased ice formation and increase the power consumption. • Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufacturer. • Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time. • Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures.
Defrosting Refrigerator Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water drains out through a trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the motor compressor, where it evaporates. Freezer The freezer compartment, however, will become progrssively covered with frost.
Switching off the appliance If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period: 1. Remove all refrigerated and deep-frozen packages as well as ice trays. 2. Switch off the appliance by turning the temperature regulator to position "0". 3. Remove the mains plug or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse. 4. Defrost freezer compartment and clean thoroughly (see section: “Cleaning and Care”). 5. Leave the door open to avoid the build up of odours.
2. Defrost the freezer compartment prior to cleaning (see "Defrosting" section). 3. Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse. 4. Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water. Commercially available dish washing detergents may also be used. 5. After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry. Accumulation of dust at the condenser increases energy consumption.
