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 storing of food at low temperature.
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 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 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.
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.

Description of the appliance Installation of the charcoal filter On delivery the charcoal filter is placed in a plastic bag to secure the length of life of the charcoal filter. The filter should be placed behind the flap before the appliance is turned on. 1. Pull the cover outward (1). 1 ☞ 2. The charcoal filter is then mounted in the slot found in the back of the cover (2). 3. Close the flap. 2 Important! During operation, always keep the air ventilation flap closed.
Prior to Initial Start–Up ☞ Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial start-up (see section: “Cleaning and Care”). Standby time The oil for automatic lubrication contained in the compressor may flow into the refrigeration circuit if the appliance is transported in an inclined position. To allow the oil to flow back into the compressor, wait approximately 1 hour before placing the appliance in operation. Starting up and temperature regulation the plug into the plug socket.
In the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment the temperature is controlled automatically. It stays constantly at about 0°C, no adjustment is necessary. Note: The refrigerator compartment is fitted with a fan. This quickly cools food stuffs and ensures optimal distribution of the temperature between the fridge and the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment. This results in the fan operating at different speeds for different lengths of time. This is quite normal and not a fault with the appliance.
mains power supply, the appliance returns to the same operating state as before the interruption of main power. If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period: 1. Remove all refrigerated packages. 2. Switch off the appliance by holding down the ON/OFF button until the display goes off (see above). 3. Remove the mains plug or switch off or disconnect from the electricity supply. 4. Clean thoroughly (see section “Cleaning and Care”). 5. Leave the doors open to avoid the build up of odours.
Variable Inner Door The door compartments can be pulled up and removed, and inserted at other positions as needed. Bottle Holder Your model is equipped with a bottle holder in the bottle compartment. This is used to prevent individual bottles from falling over and can be slid sideways. LONGFRESH 0°C compartment In the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment the temperature is controlled automatically. It stays constantly at about 0°C, no adjustment is necessary.
LONGFRESH 0°C compartment Humidity control Both drawers can be used according to the desired storage conditions independently of each other with lower or higher humidity. Regulation for each drawer is separate and is controlled using the slide valve at the front of the drawer. • „Dry“: low air humidity - up to 50 % relative humidity This humidity level is reached when both sliders are set into this position and the ventilation openings are wide open.
Correct storage The refrigerator compartment is fitted with a fan. This quickly cools food stuffs and ensures optimal distribution of the temperature between the fridge and the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment. The following can be conserved in the refrigeration compartment: - beverages, preserves, jars, bottles; - baked goods, prepared foods; - products with short-term expiration; - foods which are not suitable for conservation at the temperature of the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment.

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.
