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 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.
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.

Description of the appliance ACTUAL temperature means: The temperature display indicates the temperature that is currently present in the refrigerator. The ACTUAL temperature is indicated by continuously illuminated numbers. 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.
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.
Goods to be refrigerated can be loaded immediately after switching on, because the storage temperature in the refrigerator is quickly reached. 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.
FROSTMATIC Button The FROSTMATIC function accelerates the freezing of fresh food and, at the same time, protects foodstuffs already stored from undesirable warming. FROSTMATIC function is switched on by pressing the FROSTMATIC ☞1. The button. The yellow light illuminates. If the FROSTMATIC function is not ended manually, the appliance electronics switch off the FROSTMATIC function after 48 hours. The yellow light goes out. 2.
Interior Accessories Storage shelves On the bottom of the refrigerator compartment, just above the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment, you can easy place can and bottles in horizontal position. The structure of this area will prevent the bottles and cans from moving around. 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. Please do the same in reverse to insert the shelf at a different height.
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. The constant storage temperature of about 0°C and the relative humidity of between 45 and 90 % provide optimal conditions for the various kinds of food. You can therefore store a variety of fresh food in the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment, where it will last up to 3 times longer with better quality compared to normal refrigerator compartments.
Drawer divider The top drawer is equipped with a removable divider. Depending on the individual need the divider can be placed in different positions. Thereby various food can be stored clear and separated. Storage conditions are equal in both sections. It is not possible by using the divider to split up the basket in a dry and humid compartment. The design of the upper drawer permits you to clean it, by removing the divider.
Correct Storage – Special plastic covers with elastic; – aluminium foil. • High-proof spirits should only be conserved tightly closed and in a vertical position. • Do not keep explosive or flammable materials in the refrigerator. Conserve in the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment all foods which are suited to it.

The LONGFRESH 0°C compartment is also suitable for slow thawing of food. In this case the thawed food can be stored in the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment for up to two days. Tips: • Pay attention to the freshness of the food, especially on the expiry date. Quality and freshness influence the storage time. • The whole storage cycle time will depend on the preservation conditions made prior to the final storage in the fridge. • Food, fruit or vegetables should always be packed or wrapped up before storage.
