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 storing of food at low temperature.
• 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 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 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.
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. 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.
If your refrigerator is installed under a continuous worktop, an air outlet opening of at least 200 cm2 and a ventilation grille (A/B) matching the worktop design should be provided at the rear of the worktop. The cut surfaces of the worktop (C) should be varnished to avoid swelling due to penetration of moisture. The appliance wall distance must be at least 30 mm and should be checked before the ventilation grille is inserted.
Reversing the door The side at which the door opens can be changed from the right side (as supplied) to the left side, if the installation site requires. Warning! When changing the side at which the door opens, the appliance must not be connected to the mains. Remove plug from the mains beforehand. ☞ ☞ ☞ Tilt the appliance slightly towards the rear and prop it securely. Unscrew the door hinge screws (K) and remove the hinge pin bracket (1). Open the door a little way and take it out downwards.
Prior to Initial Start–Up ☞ Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial start-up (see section: “Cleaning and Care”). Electrical Connection The plug socket necessary for connection of your appliance to the electricity supply should be positioned so that it is possible to pull out the appliance plug. If your appliance is installed under a continuous worktop, the plug socket should be provided as shown.

Starting up and temperature regulation ☞ Insert the plug of the connection lead into the plug socket with protective earth contact. When the refrigerator compartment door is opened, the internal lighting is switched on. The temperature selector knob is located on the RH side of the refrigerator compartment. Setting “0” means: Off. Turning clockwise in direction “1”: Refrigerating unit on, the latter then operating automatically. Setting “1” means: Hightest temperature, warmest setting.
Interior Accessories Storage shelves/wire trays ☞ ☞ ☞ 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 shelf into the lowest set of guides, above the fruit and the vegetable containers, and keep it in this position.
Correct storage ➀ Butter and cheese ➁ Eggs and preserves ➂ Drinks ➃ Cheese storage, fruit, and vegetables ➄ Meat, salami, cold cuts, dairy produce ➅ Ready meals, pastries, preserves ➅ ➅ ➄ ➄ ➃ ➀ ➁ ➁ ➂ The length of storage time depends on the type of food - see manufacturer’s instructions. For physical reasons, there are different temperature regions in the fridge. The coldest regio is on the lowest storage shelf.
Switching off the appliance ☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ To switch off the appliance, turn the temperature regulator to position "0". If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period: Remove all refrigerated packages. Switch off the appliance by turning the thermostat knob to position "0". Remove the mains plug or switch off or disconnect from the electricity supply. Clean thoroughly (see section: “Cleaning and Care”). Leave the door open to avoid the build up of odours.
☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water. Commercially available dish washing detergents may also be used. After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry. Accumulation of dust at the condenser 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. Check the water drain hole on the rear wall of the fridge.
What to do if ... Correcting Malfunctions Spare parts: The following spare parts can be ordered from our local Customer Service. You can fit these yourself without any special skill or training, e.g.: – butter/cheese compartment, – egg holders, – door racks, – fruit and vegetable drawers, – storage racks A malfunction may be caused by only a minor fault that you can rectify yourself using the following instructions.
Symptom The food is too warm. Interior lighting does not work. Heavy build up of frost, possibly also on the door seal. Unusual noises. The compressor does not start immediately after changing the temperature setting. Water on the floor or on storage shelves. 58 Possible Cause Temperature is not properly adjusted. Door was open for an extended period. A large quantity of warm food was placed in the appliance within the last 24 hours. The appliance is near a heat source.
Changing the light bulb ☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ Warning! There is a risk of electric shocks! Before changing the light bulb, switch off the appliance and unplug it, or pull the fuse or the circuit breaker. Light bulb data: 220-240 V, max. 15 W To switch off the appliance, turn the temperature regulator to position "0". Unplug the mains plug. To change the light bulb, undo the screw. Press the light bulb cover as shown and slide it backwards. Change the defective light bulb. Refit the light bulb cover and the screw.
Noises during Operation The following noises are characteristic of refrigeration appliances: Whenever the compressor switches on or off, a click can • Clicks be heard. • Humming As soon as the compressor is in operation, you can hear it humming. • Bubbling/ When refrigerant flows into thin tubes, you can hear Splashing 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.
