Important Safety Instructions These warnings are provided in the interests of your safety. Ensure you fully understand them before installing or using the appliance. Your safety is of paramount importance. If you are unsure about the meaning of these warnings contact the Customer Care Department for assistance. Intended use • The refrigerator is intended for use in the home. It is suitable for cooling, freezing and storing of frozen food, as well as for making ice.
Important Safety Instructions Safety of children • Packaging (e.g. wraps, polystyrene) can be dangerous for children. There is a risk of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from children! • 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.
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.
Installation If your refrigerator is installed under a continuous worktop, an air outlet 105 opening of at least 200 cm2 and a ventilation grille (A/B) matching the worktop design should be installed 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.
Installation 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. ☞1. Detach the worktop. 2. Unscrew the door hinge (A) and screw it into place on the opposite side. 3. Refit the worktop. C A 4. Tilt the appliance slightly towards the rear and prop it securely.
Installation Plug Socket 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. Alternatively a concealed spur socket 130 fitted with a 13 A fuse may be fitted.
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying 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.The wire coloured blue must be connected to the terminal marked “N” or coloured black. 3.The wire coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked “L” or coloured red. 4.
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 and Temperature Regulation the appliance to the mains ☞1. Connect electricity supply. When the refrigerator compartment door is opened, the internal lighting is switched on. The temperature control knob is located on the right hand side of the refrigerator compartment. Setting “0” means: Off. 2. Turn the control knob clockwise past “1”.
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: 1. Remove all refrigerated packages. 2. Switch off the appliance by turning the thermostat knob to position "0". 3. Remove the mains plug or switch off or disconnect from the electricity supply. 4. Clean thoroughly (see section: “Cleaning and Care”). 5. Leave the door open to avoid the build up of odours.
Interior accessories Variable Inner Door The door compartments can be pulled up and removed, and inserted at other positions as needed. Variable Storage Box 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.
Cleaning and Care For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly. Warning! • The appliance must 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 disconnect from the electricity supply. • Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in electrical components and there is a danger of an electrical shock.
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.
What to do if ... Symptom The compressor runs continuously. Possible Cause Temperature is set too cold. Remedy Turn the thermostat knob to a warmer setting temporarily. Please look in the “Starting Temperature is not properUp and Temperature ly adjusted. Regulation” section. The food is too warm. Interior lighting does not work. Heavy build up of frost, possibly also on the door seal. Unusual noises. 18 Door was open for an extended period. Do not leave the door open any longer than necessary.
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 disconnect from the power supply.

The refrigerant circuit has been checked for leaks.
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.
