Dear customer, ☞ Before placing your new refrigerator/freezer into operation please read these operating instructions carefully. They contain important information for safe use, for installation and for care of the appliance. Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the appliance. These operating instructions are for use with several technically comparable models with varying accessories. Please observe the notes which apply to your model.

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 cooling, freezing and storing of frozen food, as well as for making ice.
• 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 appliance when playing (there is risk of suffocation!) or get themselves into other dangerous situations. • Often children cannot recognise the hazards present in household appliances.
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 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.
Power supply ☞ 8 A correctly installed, earthed socket is required for the electrical supply. The supply must have a fuse rating of at least 10 Amps. If the socket is not accessible once the appliance is built in, the electrical installation must include suitable means of isolating the appliance from the mains (e.g. a fused spur). Before initial start-up, refer to the appliance rating plate to ascertain if supply voltage and current values correspond with those of the mains at the installation location.

Rating plate Prior to Initial Start–Up ☞ Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial start-up (see section: “Cleaning and Care”).
Starting up and temperature regulation ☞ Important! Only use the appliance when built–in! Connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply. When the refrigerator compartment door is opened, the internal lighting is switched on. ➀ Temperature regulator and ON/OFF switch ➁ Light switch ➀ ➁ The temperature regulator is also the ON/OFF switch. The large switch beside the temperature regulator is the light switch.
If you want the freeze fresh food rapidly, select setting “6”, ensuring that the temperature in the refrigerator compartment does not drop below 0°C. You should also promptly reset the temperature regulator to setting “3” or “4”. Important! High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting on the temperature regulator (position”5” to “6”) can cause the compressor to run continuously.
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. This symbol means that deep-frozen food can be kept for some months in this compartment. The length of storage time depends on the type of food - see manufacturer’s instructions.
☞ ☞ • Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst when the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even explode! Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc. in the freezer compartment. All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods occurs. Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands.
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. Defrosting the freezer compartment ☞ ☞ 14 During use and when the freezer compartment door is opened, moisture is deposited in the freezer compartment as frost. Remove this frost from time to time with the soft plastic scraper.
Switching off the appliance ☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ To switch off the appliance, turn the temperature regulator to position "0". If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period: Remove all refrigerated packages. Switch off the appliance by turning the temperature regulator to position "0". Remove the mains plug or switch off or disconnect the electricity supply. Clean thoroughly (see section: “Cleaning and Care”). Leave the door open to avoid the build up of odours.
☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ 16 Defrost the freezer compartment prior to cleaning (see “Defrosting” section). Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse. Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water. Commercially available dish washing detergents may also be used. After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry.
Energy Saving Tips • Do not install the appliance near boilers, radiators or other sources of heat. 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. Never cover air vent openings. • Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool first. • Do not leave the door open any longer than necessary. • Do not set temperature any colder than necessary.
Symptom The food is too warm. Interior lighting does not work. Heavy build up of frost, possibly also on the door seal. Unusual noises. The compressor does not start immediately after changing the temperature setting. Water on the floor or on storage shelves. 18 Possible Cause Temperature is not properly adjusted. Door was open for an extended period. A large quantity of warm food was placed in the appliance within the last 24 hours. The appliance is near a heat source.
Changing the light bulb ☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ Warning! There is a risk of electric shocks! Before changing the light bulb, switch off the appliance and unplug it, or pull the fuse or the circuit breaker. Light bulb data: 220-240 V, max. 15 W To switch off the appliance, turn the temperature regulator to position "0". Unplug the mains plug. To change the light bulb, undo the screw. Press the light bulb cover as shown and slide it backwards. Change the defective light bulb. Refit the light bulb cover and the screw.
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/ When refrigerant flows into thin tubes, you can hear Splashing 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.
