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 the storing of food at low temperature.
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 Warning - In order not to impair the function of the appliance, never cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. Installation See installation instructions supplied. Please check whether, after installing your appliance and especially after reversing the door, the door seal seals right round. A badly fitting door seal may lead to heavy frosting and thereby to a higher power consumption (see also „What to do if...“).
Description of the Appliance 3.The wire coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked “L” or coloured red. 4.Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands of wire present and the cord clamp must be secure over the outer sheath. Warning! A cut-off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that the cut-off plug is disposed of safely.
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 (ACTUAL temperature) is displayed. • When the temperature is being adjusted, the temperature currently set flashes (DESIRED temperature). Prior to Initial Start–Up clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial ☞ Please start-up (see section “Cleaning and Care”).
COOLMATIC COOLMATIC Button The COOLMATIC function is suited for quick cooling of large quantities of goods in the refrigerator, e.g. drinks and salads for a party. COOLMATIC function is switched on by pressing the COOLMATIC ☞1. The button. The yellow light illuminates. 2. The COOLMATIC function now provides for intensive cooling. A DESIRED temperature of +2°C is automatically selected. The COOLMATIC function is ended automatically after a period of 6 hours.
Holiday Setting 4. Clean thoroughly (see section “Cleaning and Care”). 5. Leave the door open to avoid the build up of odours. Holiday Setting 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.
Interior Accessories Storage shelves/glass shelves ☞ Various glass or plastic storage shelves and wire trays are included with your appliance - different models have different combinations. You should always slide one of the full size glass storage shelves into the lowest set of guides, above the vegetable drawers, and keep it in this position. The height of the storage shelves can be adjusted: 1. To do this pull the storage shelf forward until it can be swivelled upwards or downwards and removed. 2.
Interior Accessories Humidity Control On some models, there is an adjustable air grille in front of the shelf above the fruit and vegetable compartments. The opening in the ventilation slots can be adjusted with a slider. Slider in right position: Ventilation slots opened. Slider in left position: Ventilation slots closed. With the ventilation slots open, the stronger air circulation results in a lower air moisture content in the fruit and vegetable compartments.
Correct Storage Bottle Holder (not included with all models) Some models are equipped with a bottle holder in the bottle compartment. This is used to prevent individual bottles from falling over and can be slid sideways. 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.
Defrosting The fridge defrosts automatically The rear wall of the fridge covers with frost when the compressor is running, and defrosts when the compressor is off. The water from the thawing frost evaporates by itself. The water drainage hole must be cleaned regularly (see the section "Cleaning and Care"). 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.
4. After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry. 5. Check the water drain hole on the rear wall of the fridge. Clear a blocked drain hole with the aid of the green peg in the pack of accessories included with the appliance. 6. After everything is dry place appliance back into service. 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.
What to do if ... Symptom Appliance does not work. Possible Cause Appliance is not switched on. Mains plug is not plugged in or is loose. Fuse has blown or is defective Socket is defective. Remedy Switch on the appliance. Insert mains plug. Check fuse, replace if necessary. Mains malfunctions are to be corrected by an electrician. Turn the temperature regulator to a warmer setting temporarily. Appliance cools too much. Temperature is set too cold. The food is too warm.
What to do if ... Symptom Possible Cause Remedy Temperature cannot be set COOLMATIC function switched on. Switch off COOLMATIC manually, or wait to set the temperature until the function has reset automatically (refer also to COOLMATIC section). Water on the floor or on storage shelves. Water drain hole is blocked. See the “Cleaning and Care” section.
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.
