Appliance Description Temperature setting buttons The temperature is adjusted using the „+“ (WARMER) and „-“ (COLDER) buttons. These buttons are connected to the temperature display. • The temperature display is switched over from the display of the ACTUAL temperature (Temperature display is illuminated) to the display of the DESIRED temperature (Temperature display flashes) by pressing one of the two buttons, „+“ (WARMER) or „-“ (COLDER).
ALARM OFF button With the ALARM OFF button, the acoustic warning signal can be switched off, e.g. the "Open Door" warning when sorting in or out, the food to be chilled or frozen. When there is a temperature warning for the freezer compartment, if the ALARM OFF button is activated, the temperature display will show the warmest temperature the frozen food has reached.
Initial Start-Up 0 1. Insert plug into mains socket. 2. Press the ON/OFF button. The green power indicator lights up. A warning tone sounds and the flashing red warning light indicates that the required storage temperature has not yet been reached. The temperature displays shows the current, actual refrigerator and freezer temperature. The compressor will start and then run automatically. 3. Press the ALARM OFF button to switch off the warning tone. 4.
Temperature Adjustment With the individual temperature setting buttons the desired temperatures in the refrigerator and in the freezer compartment can be adjusted independently of one another. 0 1. Press either the „+“ (WARMER) or „-“ (COLDER) button for the refrigerator or freezer compartment . The temperature display switches over and the DESIRED temperature currently set flashes on the temperature display. 2. To adjust to a warmer temperature, press the „+“ (WARMER) button.

Holiday Mode In the holiday mode the temperature for the refrigerator is approximately +15 °C. In the holiday mode it is therefore possible to leave the door of the empty refrigerator closed during periods of extended absence. 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. Without the holiday mode leaving the door closed would lead to the accumulation of odours and mould.
Control and Information Systems The control and information systems consist of a temperature display, an optical warning indicator light and an acoustic warning. The system warns if: – when first switching on the appliance (when the storage temperature has not yet been attained); – when the appliance doors are open – the temperature in the refrigerator or freezer compartment is too high; – functional disturbances at the appliance.
For the freezer: The red warning indicator light flashes and a warning tone sounds as soon as the temperature in the freezer rises to more than -12 °C. In addition the freezer temperature display flashes. 0 1. You can switch off the warning tone using the ALARM OFF button. The freezer temperature display stops flashing and displays the warmest temperature that has been reached in the freezer during the temperature alarm. After approx.
Interior Accessories Storage Shelves A storage shelf must be inserted into the lower guide track above the fruit and vegetable drawers. It must always remain in this position, so that fruits and vegetables remain fresh longer. 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. To insert at a different height use the same procedure in reverse. Adjustment for tall items: 0 1.
Interior Accessories 2. If the large divider is inserted in the middle of the drawer the right hand side can be further divided by inserting the small divider in the middle or rear position. 3 The ventilation grille above the salad bin improves air circulation so that groceries keep for longer. Bottle rack Place bottles in the rack with the bottleneck to the front. Important: Only store unopened bottles horizontally. The bottle rack can be tilted for storing opened bottles. 0 1.
Correct storage For physical reasons, the refrigerator compartment has different temperature zones. The coldest zone is on the lowest storage shelf immediately above the fruit and vegetable drawers. Warmer zones are the upper storage shelves and door racks. The arrangement (see fig.) indicates where different types of food are best stored to make the most of temperature variations.
Freezing Except for the bottom drawer, which serves only for storage purposes, all compartments and drawers in the freezer compartment are suitable for freezing fresh food. 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.
Tips: • The following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods: – freezer bags and polyethylene wraps; – plastic containers for frozen foods; – extra-thick aluminium foil • 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.
Preparation of Ice Cubes 0 1. Fill ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water and place in the freezer tray or a drawer and allow to freeze. 2. To remove the finished ice cubes twist the ice cube tray or hold under running water for a short time. Warning! 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 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. Remove this white frost from time to time with a soft plastic scraper, e.g. a dough scraper. Do not under any circumstances use hard or pointed objects for this purpose. The appliance should be defrosted when the thickness of the white frost has reached about 4 mm; but at least once a year in any case.
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.
Maintenance and Cleaning 5. Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). 6. Rinse and dry thoroughly. 3 To pull out the salad bin, lift it over the locks on the sliding rail. Tilt the drawer downwards and pull it out. Assemble in opposite order. 7. Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris. 8.

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.
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.
