1 Safety The safety aspects of our refrigerators comply with accepted technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. Nevertheless, we consider it our obligation to make you aware of the following safety information: Intended use • The refrigerator is intended for use in the home. It is suitable for the cooling, freezing and storing of frozen food, as well as for making ice.
Safety • 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. By doing this you ensure that children cannot lock themselves in the fridge when playing (there is risk of suffocation!) or get themselves into other dangerous situations. • Often children cannot recognise the hazards present in household appliances.
• Refrigerators may only be repaired by qualified service engineers. Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact your specialist dealer or our Customer Service. Disposal Appliance Packaging Information All materials are environmentally sound! They can be dumped 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.
Remove transport safeguard The appliance and the interior fittings are protected for transport. 0 1. Remove all adhesive tape and packing pieces from the interior of the appliance. 3 You can remove any remnants of adhesive using white spirit. 2. If present, remove protective film from the control panel. 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.
Installation Your refrigerator needs ventilation Integratable models (i-appliances) The integrated door of the furniture cabinet largely seals the installation recess. i-appliances must therefore be provided with ventilation by having an opening in the furniture plinth. The warmed air must be able to be exhausted upwards through the air shaft on the furniture back. The ventilation cross-sections should be at least 200 cm2.
Installation Electrical Connection (valid for United Kingdom only) Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person. 1 WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed. Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as that indicated on the appliance rating plate. The rating plate is inside, on the left.

Appliance Description DESIRED temperature means: The temperature that has been selected for inside the fridge. The DESIRED temperature is indicated by flashing numbers. ACTUAL temperature means: The temperature display indicates the current temperature inside the fridge. The ACTUAL temperature is indicated with illuminated numbers. Temperature display The temperature display can indicate several pieces of information.
Prior to Initial Start–Up 0 1. Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial start-up (see section: “Cleaning and Maintenance”). Starting Up - Setting the Temperature 0 1. Plug the mains plug into the mains socket. 2. Press ON/OFF button. The green mains pilot indicator illuminates. 3. Press either the „+“ (WARMER) or „-“ (COLDER) button. The temperature display switches over and the DESIRED temperature currently set flashes on the temperature display. 4.
COOLMATIC/FROSTMATIC 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. 0 1. The COOLMATIC function is switched on by pressing the COOLMATIC button. The yellow light illuminates. 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.
Switching witching the Appliance off 0 1. To switch off, hold down the ON/OFF button for approx. 5 seconds. This will result in a countdown from "3" to "1" taking place in the temperature display. After reaching "1" the fridge will switch off. The temperature display will go off. Note: The appliance cannot be switched on or off if unplugged, or if there is no power being supplied to it.
Interior Accessories Storage Shelves Your appliance is equipped with glass storage shelves. The glass shelf above the fruit and vegetable compartment must always remain in this position so that fruit and vegetables stay 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 goods: 0 1.
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.
Interior Accessories The variable box can be hung from a storage shelf in the refrigerator compartment: 0 1. Pull the storage shelf forward until it can be tipped up or down and removed. 2. Hang the retaining bracket on the taper on the storage shelf and slide the storage shelf back into the guides. 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 basket 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.
Freezing and storing frozen food • Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time, the quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible. 0 1. For exploitation of maximum freezing capacity press the FROSTMATIC button 24 hours prior to freezing, or 4 to 6 hours for smaller quantities. Yellow display lights up. 3 The FROSTMATIC button need not be pressed for freezing of small quantities. 2.
Preparation of Ice Cubes 0 1. Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer compartment and leave to freeze. 2. To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend the ice cube tray or hold it under running water for a few seconds. Important! Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer compartment using pointed or sharp edged objects. Use a spoon handle or similar.
0 1. Switch on the FROSTMATIC function a few hours before defrosting to make sure frozen food remains sufficiently frozen. 2. Remove frozen food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and store it, covered, in a cool place. 3. Switch off the appliance and unplug it, or pull the fuse or switch off the circuit breaker. 4. Remove the stopper from the melt-water outlet and place a bowl underneath it to catch the melt-water.

What to do if ... 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.
What to do if ... Malfunction Water on the floor or on storage shelves. Possible Cause Remedy Water drain hole is blocked. See the "Cleaning and Maintenance" section. Heavy build up of frost, possibly also on the door seal. Door seal is not air tight (possibly after changing over the hinges). Carefully warm the leaking sections of the door seal with a hair dryer (not hotter than approx. 50 °C). At the same time shape the warmed door seal by hand such that it sits correctly.
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.
