Appliance Description ACTUAL means: With temperature regulator in recessed position; temperature display indicates current actual refrigerator or freezer compartment temperature (ACTUAL temperature). Temperature Displays The temperature displays shows several types of information. • In normal operation the current refrigerator or freezer compartment temperature is displayed (ACTUAL temperature). The temperature regulator must be in its recessed position.
Applies only to the temperature display for the freezer compartment • If, for example, frozen goods have been partially or completely thawed due to a lengthy mains interruption, the temperature display alternately indicates: – the current freezer compartment temperature (ACTUAL temperature) and – the highest temperature to which the frozen goods have warmed. Prior to Initial Start-Up 0 Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial start-up (see section: "Cleaning and Care").
Initial Start-Up storage temperature has not yet been reached. After the self-test has been completed, the compressor starts and functions automatically thereafter. 0 Set the refrigerator to the desired temperature (see section: "Temperature Adjustment"). 3 Goods to be refrigerated can be loaded immediately after switching on, because the storage temperature in the refrigerator is quickly reached. Freezer Compartment Start-Up 0 Press freezer compartment ON/OFF button.
Temperature Adjustment With the individual temperature regulators the desired temperatures in the refrigerator and in the freezer compartment can be adjusted independent of one another. 0 Press desired temperature regulator, so that it pops out of its recessed position. The temperature display is switched to a blinking display of the currently selected SET temperature. 0 Turn temperature regulator to left or right to select the desired SET temperature.
FAST CHILL/FAST FREEZE FAST CHILL 0 0 0 0 The FAST CHILL function is suited for quick cooling of large quantities of goods in the refrigerator, e.g. drinks and salads for a party. To switch on the FAST CHILL function first press the temperature regulator for the refrigerator. The temperature regulator pops out of its recessed position. The blinking temperature display shows the refrigerator temperature setting. Press FAST CHILL/-FREEZE button.
0 You can stop the fast freezing process manually at any time by pressing the FAST CHILL/-FREEZE button again. 3 The FAST FREEZE function can only be switched on when the refrigerator temperature regulator is in the recessed position. Switching the Appliance Off In order to protect frozen goods, the appliance is guarded against accidental switching off (child-proof). Refrigerator and freezer compartments can be switched off independently of one another.
Vacation Mode In the vacation mode the SET temperature for the refrigerator is equal to +15°C. Thus you have the opportunity - without the accumulation of odours or mould - to leave the empty refrigerator closed rather than open, during periods of extended absence (e.g. vacation). Advantage: Unintentional closing of the door, or accidental closing of the door by persons who have access to your home during your absence, is no longer possible.
Control and Information Systems Power Interruption (not included with all models) If the power supply is interrupted, an audible warning sounds at 20 second intervals. In addition, the current ACTUAL temperatures in the refrigerator and the freezer compartment are indicated in blinking fashion by the temperature displays (2 seconds on, 2 seconds off). After one hour the audible warning only sounds at 40 second intervals. The audible warning can be switched off for about 2 hours with the WARNING OFF button.
Control and Information Systems Partial/Complete Thaw Warning If frozen goods in the freezer compartment have been partially or completely thawed (e.g. during a temporary power interruption), the red warning display blinks. In addition the temperature display alternately indicates: – the highest temperature to which the frozen goods have warmed; – and the current ACTUAL temperature in the freezer compartment.
Opening the Freezer Compartment Door If the freezer compartment door is closed when the appliance is in operation, it is possible that it cannot be immediately opened again, because a vacuum occurs in the freezer compartment which holds the door closed until pressure has been equalised. The door can be opened again after several minutes. Interior Accessories Storage Shelves/Storage Racks Depending on the model, your appliance is equipped with either glass or plastic storage shelves, or storage racks.
Interior Accessories Adjustment for tall goods: 0 Remove the front half of the twopart vario glass storage shelf and insert it at a different level. Space is thus gained for storage of tall goods on the underlying storage shelf. Models with plastic storage shelves A package with clamp tabs is included for models with plastic storage shelves. 0 Before inserting the storage shelves into the guide tracks, set clamp tabs into the four pockets on the underside according to the included instruction sheet.
Interior Accessories up, so that refrigerated goods cannot come into contact with the back wall of the refrigerator compartment. The storage racks can be set diagonally for the storage of opened bottles: 0 Pull the storage rack out until it can be tipped up and insert the front runners into the next highest guide track. Adjustment for tall goods: 0 Insert the front half of the twopart vario storage rack (not included with all models) under the back half.
Tube compartments (not included with all models) Some models are equipped with compartments for tubes and small articles. When set into the bottle compartment, the tube compartment also prevents tipping of individual bottles. Proper Storage Different temperature zones exist within the refrigerator due to the laws of physics. The coldest zone is at the bottom storage shelf above the fruit and vegetable trays. The warmer zones are found at the uppermost storage shelves and in the door compartments.
Freezing Except for the bottom drawer, which serves only for storage purposes, all compartments and drawers in the freezer compartment are suited for freezing. Attention! • Before foods are frozen, the ACTUAL temperature in the freezer compartment must be -18°C or colder. • Please observe indicated freezing capacity on the serial plate. The freezing capacity represents the maximum amount of fresh goods that can be frozen within 24 hours.
• The following are suited for sealing bags and wraps: plastic clips, rubber bands or adhesive tape. • Press air out of bags and wraps before sealing, because air encourages drying of frozen goods. • Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly. • Do not fill cans for frozen goods to the brim with liquid or paste-like goods, because liquids expand during freezing.
Preparation of Ice Cubes 0 Fill ice cube tray (not included with all models) 3/4 full with cold water and place in the freezer tray or a drawer and allow to freeze. 0 To remove the finished ice cubes twist the ice cube tray or hold under running water for a short time. Attention! Do not, under any circumstances, free an ice tray which is frozen to the appliance with pointed or sharp edged objects. Use a spoon-handle or similar object.
Defrosting of defrosting cycles is determined by frequency and duration of door opening. The water collects in the discharge trough at the back wall of the refrigerator, and is fed through the discharge opening in the catch tray at the compressor where it is evaporated. Freezer Compartment Defrosting Moisture is precipitated in the form of white frost in the freezer compartment during operation and when the door is opened, especially in the middle at the top.
Cleaning and Care For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly. 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 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.
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. 0 After everything is dry place appliance back into service. 2 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.
