Description of the appliance Control panel 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Pilot light (green) ON/OFF switch Temperature setting buttons (for warmer temperatures) Temperature display Temperature setting buttons (for colder temperatures) COOLMATIC indicator light (yellow) Push button for COOLMATIC Temperature setting buttons The temperature is adjusted using the “+“ (WARMER) and “-“ (COLDER) buttons. These buttons are connected to the temperature display.
Temperature Display The temperature display can indicate several pieces of information: • During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the refrigerator or freezer compartment (ACTUAL temperature) is displayed, the corresponding light illuminates. • If the temperature in the refrigerator is warmer than the display range of the temperature display, all the lights in the temperature display are extinguished.
5. Once the required temperature has been set, after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) the temperature display will change and again indicate the current ACTUAL temperature inside the fridge. The display will change from flashing to continuous illumination. The compressor will start and then run automatically. Information! When the setting is changed, the compressor does not start immediately if automatic defrosting is currently taking place.
Switching off the appliance ☞ To switch off, press the ON/OFF button until the mains power light extinguishes. If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period: 1. Remove all refrigerated packages. 2. Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button until the mains power light extinguishes. 3. Remove the mains plug or switch off or disconnect 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 (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.
Cleaning and Care For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly. 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 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. 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.

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.
