1 Safety The safety aspects of our refrigerators/freezers 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 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.
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. the outer covering and the bags in the interior. >PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g. the pads, which are all free of chlorofluorocarbon.
Remove transport safeguard The appliance and the interior fittings are protected for transport. 0 Pull off the adhesive tape on the left and right side of the door. 3 You can remove any remnants of adhesive using white spirit. 0 Remove all adhesive tape and packing pieces from the interior of the appliance. 0 On the inside of the door, remove the protection from the seal. 0 Remove the transport protection pieces from the rails and pull off the adhesive tape.
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.
Installation See installation instructions supplied. Please check whether, after installing your appliance and especially after rehingeing the door, the door seal seals right round. An untight door seal may lead to heavy frosting and thereby to a higher power consumption (see also „What to do if...“). Power supply A correctly installed, earthed socket is required for the electrical supply. The supply must have a fuse rating of at least 10 Amps.
Description of the appliance View of the appliance ➀ ➁ ➂ ➃ ➄ ➅ ➆ ➇ Temperature regulator and light switch Butter/cheese compartments with flap and egg storage insert Door storage compartment with retaining rail Bottle shelf Vegetable basket with serving tray Storage shelves Freezer compartment with ice cube tray Rating plate Prior to Initial Start–Up 0 Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial start-up (see section: “Cleaning and Care”).
Initial use Important! Only use the appliance when built–in! 0 Plug the mains plug into the mains socket. When the door is opened the interior lighting comes on. 1 Light switch 2 Temperature regulator and ON/OFF switch The temperature regulator is also the ON/OFF switch. The large oval switch beside the temperature regulator is the light switch. When the door is opened and closed, the light switch switches the interior lighting on and off. A coin in needed to turn the temperature regulator.
Initial use The following effects are of significance in respect of the interior temperature: – Ambient temperature; – Quantity and temperature of the food stored; – Frequency with which the door is opened and how long it is left open. The following temperature settings can therefore only be considered as recommendations that may well need to be adapted to suit your particular situation.
Switching off the appliance, holiday switch 0 To switch off the appliance, turn the temperature regulator to position "0". 0 If the door is to left open for an extended period, switch off the interior lighting by pulling out the oval light switch (holiday switch). 3 0 0 0 0 40 The light switch is pressed in again as soon as the door is closed. The next time the door is opened, the interior lighting is switched on by the light switch as normal.
Interior Accessories Storage shelves Your appliance is equipped with one full size and two half size glass storage shelves. 0 If possible, please slide the full size glass storage shelf into the lowest set of guides, above the vegetable basket and the serving tray. The height of the storage shelves can be adjusted: 0 To do this pull the storage shelf forward until it can be swivelled upwards or downwards and removed. 0 Please do the same in reverse to insert the shelf at a different height.
Vegetable basket and serving tray There is a vegetable basket in the base of the appliance, this is covered with a serving tray made from transparent plastic . 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.
Freezing and storing frozen food The freezer compartment is for freezing and storing food. Important! • The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18 °C or colder before freezing food or storing food already frozen. • Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause increased ice formation and increase the power consumption. • Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
Preparation of Ice Cubes 0 Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer compartment and leave to freeze. 0 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.
Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze to the food. 0 Remove frozen food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and store it, covered, in a cool place. 0 Switch off the appliance and unplug it, or pull the fuse or switch off the circuit breaker. Tip: You can speed up the defrosting process by placing a pan with hot water in the freezer compartment and closing the doors. Remove pieces of ice that have fallen before they completely defrost.
0 Remove frozen food and the food from the refrigerator. Wrap frozen food in several layers of newspaper. Store it in a cool place, well covered. 0 Defrost the freezer compartment prior to cleaning (see "Defrosting" section). 0 Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse. 0 Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water. Commercially available dish washing detergents may also be used.
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/freezers may only be performed by qualified service engineers. Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards for the user.
What to do if ... Malfunction Interior lighting does not work. Heavy build up of frost, possibly also on the door seal. Unusual noises. Possible Cause Remedy Light bulb is defective. Please look in the "Changing the Light Bulb" section. 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.
Customer Service 0 To change the light bulb, undo the cross head screw and remove the light bulb cover downwards. 0 Change the defective light bulb. 0 Refit the light bulb cover and the cross head screw. Customer Service If you cannot find the remedy for a malfunction in these operating instructions, please contact your dealer or our customer service department. Addresses and telephone numbers are listed in the accompanying booklet "Guarantee Conditions/Customer Service Locations".
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.
