The directive specifies the framework for an EU-wide valid return and re-use of old appliances. Scope of delivery After unpacking all parts, check for any damage in transit.
en Note The appliance is fully functional within the room temperature limits of the indicated climatic class. If an appliance of climatic class SN is operated at colder room temperatures, the appliance will not be damaged up to a temperature of +5 °C. Ventilation Fig. 3 The air on the rear panel of the appliance heats up. Conduction of the heated air must not be obstructed. Otherwise, the refrigerating unit must work harder. This increases power consumption.
en Getting to know your appliance Controls Fig. 2 1 2 3 Please fold out the illustrated last page. These operating instructions refer to several models. 4 The features of the models may vary. The diagrams may differ. Fig. 1 On/Off button Serves to switch the whole appliance on and off. Temperature display refrigerator compartment The numbers correspond to the set refrigerator compartment temperatures in °C. Super display Illuminates when super cooling or super freezing is on.
en ■ If the freezer compartment door cannot be immediately re-opened after it has been closed, wait until the resulting low pressure has equalised. Setting the temperature Fig. 2 Refrigerator compartment The temperature can be set from +2 °C to +8 °C. Keep pressing temperature selection button 4 until the required refrigerator compartment temperature is set. The value last selected is stored. The set temperature is indicated on display 2.
en Super cooling Super cooling cools the refrigerator compartment as cold as possible for approx. 2½ days. Then the appliance automatically switches to the temperature set prior to super cooling mode.

Sticker “OK” (not all models) The “OK” temperature monitor can be used to determine temperatures below +4 °C. Gradually reduce the temperature if the sticker does not indicate “OK”.
en Defrosting Refrigerator compartment Defrosting is actuated automatically. The condensation flows into the evaporation area of the appliance via the condensation channels and the drainage hole. Freezer compartment The freezer compartment does not defrost automatically, otherwise the frozen food would start thawing. A layer of frost in the freezer compartment impairs refrigeration of the frozen food and increases power consumption. Remove the layer of hoarfrost regularly.
en Proceed as follows: 1. Before cleaning: Switch the appliance off. 2. Pull out the mains plug or switch off the fuse. 3. Take out the frozen food and store in a cool location. Place the ice pack (if enclosed) on the food. 4. Clean the appliance with a soft cloth, lukewarm water and a little pH neutral washing-up liquid. The rinsing water must not run into the light. 5.
