1 Safety The safety of our appliances is in accordance with recognised technological standards and appliance safety legislation. We nevertheless feel that it is important to acquaint you with the following safety guidelines: Use for Intended Purpose • The appliance is intended for household use. It is suited for the refrigeration, freezing and frozen storage of foods as well as the preparation of ice. • Alterations or changes to the appliance are not permitted for reasons of safety.
Safety • Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable. Remove plug from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any snap or latch closures. This eliminates the danger that playing children lock themselves into the appliance (danger of suffocation!) or place themselves into other life-endangering situations. • Children often do not recognise the dangers involved with household appliances.
Safety • Do not remove the power cord by pulling on its lead, particularly when the fridge/freezer is being pulled out of its niche. Damage to the cord may cause a short circuit, fire and/or electric shock. • Do not place heavy articles or the fridge/freezer itself on the power cord. There is a risk of a short circuit and fire. • If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a certified service agent or qualified personnel.
Environmental Information Packaging All transit packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be reused. Wood is un-treated. 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 pure hydrocarbon compounds and can be recycled. The carton parts are made from recycled paper. Please dispose of the packaging with due care for the environment.
Appliance Transport Two persons are required for transport of the appliance. There are two recessed handles at the back of the appliance at the top for improved gripping. 0 1. Grip the appliance with the recessed handles positioned as in the drawing, and transport the appliance. 2. In order to push the appliance into its final position, press carefully at the top of the door and tip the appliance back slightly. The weight is thus transferred to the back wheels and the appliance can be easily pushed.
Installation Installation Location The appliance should be installed 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 The refrigerator/freezer needs ventilation Air is fed under the door through the vent slots in the base and is exhausted upwards along the back wall. To ensure proper air circulation never cover or alter the vent openings. Important! If the appliance is installed under a hanging cabinet, a clearance of at least 10 cm between the top of the appliance and the cabinet above it must be maintained.
Electrical Connection A properly installed socket outlet with earthing contact is required for electrical connection. Electrical fuse protection must be of at least 10 ampere. If the outlet socket is no longer accessible after installation of the appliance, appropriate measures must be taken during electrical installation to assure that the appliance can be disconnected from the mains (e.g. fuse, circuit breaker, non-operate current safety-switch or the like, with a contact opening of at least 3 mm).
Reversing The Door 2. Unscrew the centre door bearing: Open the fridge and freezer doors. Undo the screws far enough to be able to take the top door bearing bolt out of the freezer door. Close the freezer door. Remove the door bearing bolt from the bottom of the fridge door and close the fridge door. Caution! Take care when removing the centre door bearing that the doors do not fall down. Remove the centre door bearing; remove the doors and lay them carefully on the floor. 3.
Reversing The Door After changing the door hinges, check that the magnetic seals on the doors fit perfectly against the housing and that the interior lighting goes off when the door is closed. 10. Depending on the model: Model with bar handle Unscrew the top handle bracket from the handle rod (1). Unscrew the bottom handle bracket from the door (2). Unscrew the top handle bracket from the door (3) and screw onto the bottom right-hand side of the door (4).

No-Frost-System The no-frost-system enables both the freezing of fresh foods and the storage of ready frozen or cooled foods by means of cold air. A vaporiser cools the air in the interior space of the appliance, which is circulated and uniformly distributed by a ventilator. This uniformly circulating air-flow provides for a dry climate, low temperature fluctuations and low temperature differences throughout the appliance's interior space. The moisture in the air condenses as frost on the vaporiser.
Starting Up and Regulating the Temperature Fridge and freezer sections can each be regulated independently of the other. The control panel is situated behind the fridge door at the top of the fridge section. 0 1. Insert plug into mains socket. Within 20 seconds the electronics carry out a system test and switch the appliance on. The ON/OFF button lights up in green, the interior lighting comes on and the appliance starts working.
2. Using a coin, set the temperature required for the freezer by turning the temperature regulator. Select a middle position for normal operation. 3. Press the FROSTMATIC button. The FROSTMATIC button will be illuminated in yellow and the compressor will operate continuously. 4. To switch off the FROSTMATIC function, press the FROSTMATIC button again. The yellow FROSTMATIC button will go off. 5. Wait until the temperature in the freezer compartment has reached -18 °C before storing frozen foods.
If the FROSTMATIC function is not ended manually, the appliance electronics switch off the FROSTMATIC function after 36 hours. The yellow illumination in the button will go off. “Open Door” Warning When the fridge or freezer door are open the open door warning button flashes red and a warning tone is sounded. – after approx. 1 minute if the freezer door is open – after approx.
Switching the Appliance Off 0 1. To switch off, hold down the ON/OFF button for approx. 3 seconds. The green illumination in the button will go off. If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period: 0 1. Switch off the appliance by holding down the ON/OFF button for approx. 3 seconds. The green illumination in the button will go off. 2. Remove the mains plug or switch off. 3. Clean the appliance thoroughly (see section: “Cleaning and Care”). 4.
Interior Accessories Storage Shelves The shelf in the lowest runners above the fruit and vegetable drawer is stopped with plastic corners on the back. It must always remain in this position, so that fruit and vegetables stay fresh for longer. To remove the stops, the plastic corners must be twisted 90° forwards and to the outside. The remaining storage shelves can be adjusted to various heights: 0 1. Pull the storage shelf forward until it can be tipped up or down and removed. 2.
Interior Accessories Fruit/Vegetable Drawer (not offered in all models) On some models there is a moisture filter in front of the shelf above the fruit and vegetable compartments. This preserves the natural moisture content of the food in the fruit and vegetable compartments for longer. FRESH Box (not offered in all models) The temperature in the FRESH Box is somewhat lower than in the rest of the fridge. It is therefore especially suitable for storing meat, fish and chilled meals.
Correct storage The cooling fans ensure an even temperature distribution in the fridge. Foods with different perishability can therefore be arranged on the shelves as you like, without having to take into account the different temperature zones which usually occur. The temperature in the fruit and vegetable drawer is somewhat higher than the fridge temperature set. The example arrangement opposite shows possible ways of storing food.
Freezing Warning! • Before foods are frozen, the actual temperature in the freezer compartment must be -18 °C or colder. • Please observe indicated freezing capacity on the rating plate. The freezing capacity represents the maximum amount of fresh goods that can be frozen within 24 hours. If you freeze goods on several days, one after the other, freeze amounts equal to 2/3 to 3/4 of the capacity indicated on the rating plate.
Frozen Storage Warning! Before initial loading of the freezer compartment with previously frozen goods, the required storage temperature of -18 °C must be reached. • Load freezer only with packaged frozen goods, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods can occur. • Please observe maximum storage times and expiry dates of frozen goods. 2 When possible store frozen goods separately according to type in drawers.
Maintenance and Cleaning Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply. 1 Warning! • Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or cleaning products containing bleach or alcohol. • Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in electrical components, danger of electrical shock! Hot vapours can lead to the damage of plastic parts.
2 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. 7. After everything is dry place appliance back into service. 2 Energy Saving Advice • Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a boiler, dishwasher or radiator. • Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated room and make sure that the air openings of the appliance are not obstructed.
Something not Working Correcting Malfunctions A malfunction may be caused by only a minor fault that you can rectify yourself using the following instructions. Do not perform any other work on the appliance if the following information does not provide assistance in your specific case. 1 Warning! Repairs to refrigerators may only be performed by qualified service engineers. Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards for the user.
Something not Working Symptom Possible Cause Solution The freezer door has been The red warning indicator open for longer than DOOR OPEN is flashing; the 1 minute and/or the fridge warning tone is sounding door has been open for longer than 4 minutes.

To switch off the appliance press the ON/OFF button for 3 seconds. The green illumination will go off. 2. Unplug from the mains. 3.
Normal Operating Sounds 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. • Noise When the ventilators are working a noise can be heard.
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.
