Safety 28 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 cooling, freezing and storing of frozen food, as well as for making ice.
Safety catches, if fitted. By doing this you ensure that children cannot lock themselves in the appliance when playing (there is risk of suffocation!) or get themselves into other dangerous situations. • Often children cannot recognise the hazards present in household appliances. It is therefore important that you ensure adequate supervision and never let children play with the appliance! Daily Operation • Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures.
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. >PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g. the pads, which are all free of chlorofluorocarbon.
Remove transport packaging The appliance and the interior fittings are protected for transport. ☞1. Pull off the adhesive tape on the left and right side of the door. 2. Remove all adhesive tape and packing pieces from the interior of the appliance. Installation Installation Location The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room. Energy use and efficient performance of the appliance is affected by the ambient temperature.
Installation It is necessary to avoid overheating of the appliance by maintaining adequate distances from heat sources and by the use of a suitable thermal insulation plate. Proper ventilation of the appliance must also be ensured. Your refrigerator needs ventilation Integratable models (i-appliances) The integrated door of the furniture cabinet largely seals the installation recess. iappliances must therefore be provided with ventilation by having an opening in the furniture plinth.
Installation See installation instructions supplied. Please check whether, after installing your appliance and especially after reversing the door, the door seal seals right round. A badly fitting door seal may lead to heavy frosting and thereby to a higher power consumption (see also „What to do if...“). Electrical connection ☞ A correctly installed, earthed socket is required for the electrical supply. The supply must have a fuse rating of at least 10 Amps.
Description of the appliance View of the appliance (various models) 1 = Control panel 2 = Butter/cheese compartment with flap 3 = Variable storage box (not included with all models, design differs depending on the model) 4 = Door storage compartments 5 = Bottle compartment Bottle holder (not on all models) 6 = Fruit and vegetable drawers 7 = Storage shelves 8 = Freezer compartment (for storage and freezing) 9 = General purpose box (not included with all models) 10 = Moisture regulation (not on all models)
Prior to Initial Start–Up ☞ Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial start-up (see section: “Cleaning and Care”). Starting up - Temperature regulation 1 Light switch 2 SUPERFROST-function "on" indicator (yellow) (not on all models) • SUPERFROST for freezing items quickly in the freezer compartment 3 SUPERFROST button (not on all models) 4 Temperature regulator and ON/OFF switch The temperature regulator is located at the top of the appliance on the control panel.
Starting up - Temperature regulation Note: From a food safety point of view, +5°C for the refrigerator compartment and -18°C for the freezer compartment should be considered cold enough as a storage temperature. The following effects are of significance in respect of the interior temperature: – Ambient temperature; – Quantity and temperature of the food stored; – Frequency with which the door is opened and how long it is left open. – A defect in the appliance.
"Defrosting" section). The result is the build up of a thick layer of frost on the fridge rear wall. If this happens, turn the temperature regulator back to a warmer setting (position “2” to “3”). At this setting the compressor will be switched on and off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced. Switching off the appliance switch off the appliance, turn the temperature regulator to position ☞1. To "0". The inside light goes out. If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period: 1.
Interior accessories ☞ (not for all models) Your appliance is equipped with two half-size glass storage shelves. Storing tall items: Slide the front half of the Vario storage shelf in another level to the rear. By this means you will gain space to place tall items on the storage shelf below. Variable Inner Door The door compartments can be pulled up and removed, and inserted at other positions as needed.
Interior accessories lower air moisture content in the fruit and vegetable compartments. When the ventilation slots are closed, the natural moisture content of the food in the fruit and vegetable compartments is preserved for longer. Variable Storage Box (not on all models, design differs depending on the model) Some models are equipped with a variable storage box which is fitted under a door shelf compartment and can be slid sideways. The box can be inserted under every door shelf compartment. 1.
Correct Storage For physical reasons, there are different temperature regions in the fridge. The coldest region is on the lowest storage shelf. Warmer regions are the top storage shelf, the vegetable drawer and the storage compartments on the door. The arrangement example shows at which places in the refrigerator suitable temperatures for various types of foods exist. Tip: Food in the fridge should always be covered or packaged, to prevent drying and tainting of other food.
Freezing and storing frozen food tor to setting “4” several hours before freezing fresh items, or press the SUPERFROST button if the model has one. The yellow indicator will light up. 2. All foods must be packed into airtight packages or containers 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 causing skin abrasions. 3.
Preparation of Ice Cubes the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer ☞1. Fill 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. Important! Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer compartment using pointed or sharp edged objects. Use a spoon handle or similar.
few hours before defrosting, set the temperature controller to 4 or ☞1. Apress the SUPERFROST button, if the model has one; in order to create a refrigeration reserve in the frozen food. 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 electricity supply. 4. Remove the stopper from the meltwater outlet and place a bowl underneath it to catch the meltwater.
Cleaning and Care Important! • Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g. – lemon juice or the juice from orange peals; – butyric acid; – cleansers which contain acetic acid. 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 covered. 2.
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. • Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool first. • Only leave door open as long as necessary. • Do not set temperature any colder than necessary.

Customer Service If you cannot find the remedy for a malfunction in these operating instructions, please contact your dealer or our customer service department.
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.
