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 cooling, freezing and storing of frozen food, as well as for making ice.
Important Safety Instructions 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 If your refrigerator is installed under a continuous worktop, an air outlet 105 opening of at least 200 cm2 and a ventilation grille (A/B) matching the worktop design should be installed at the rear of the worktop. The cut surfaces of the worktop (C) should be varnished to avoid swelling due to penetration of moisture. The appliance wall distance must be at least 30 mm and should be checked before the ventilation grille is inserted.
Installation 7. Unscrew the handle. Refit it on the opposite side after having pushed in the plugs with a punch. Cover the holes left open with the plugs contained in the documentation pack. Changing over the freezer compartment door 180° Plug socket The plug socket necessary for connection of your appliance to the electricity supply should be positioned so that it is possible to pull out the appliance plug.
Installation Alternatively a concealed spur socket fitted with a 13 A fuse may be fitted. 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. fuse, cut-out, current trip or similar with a minimum contact separation of 3 mm). The mains cable may only be changed by a qualified electrician or competent person. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact your local Service Force Centre.
4.Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands of wire present and the cord clamp must be secure over the outer sheath. Warning! A cut-off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that the cut-off plug is disposed of safely.
Description of the appliance Control panel 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Pilot light (green) ON/OFF switch Temperature setting buttons (for warmer temperatures) Temperature display Temperature setting buttons (for colder temperatures) FROSTMATIC indicator light (yellow) Push button for FROSTMATIC COOLMATIC indicator light (yellow) Push button for COOLMATIC Temperature setting buttons The temperature is adjusted using the „+“ (WARMER) and „-“ (COLDER) buttons. These buttons are connected to the temperature display.
ACTUAL temperature means: The temperature display indicates the temperature that is currently present in the refrigerator or freezer compartment. The ACTUAL temperature is indicated by a continuously illuminated light. Temperature Display The temperature display can indicate several pieces of information: • During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the refrigerator or freezer compartment (ACTUAL temperature) is displayed, the corresponding light illuminates.
Note: From a food safety point of view, +5°C for the refrigerator compartment and -18°C for the freezer compartment should be considered cold enough as a storage temperature. 5. Once the required temperature has been set, after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) the temperature display will change and again indicate the current ACTUAL temperature inside the fridge. The display will change from flashing to continuous illumination. The compressor will start and then run automatically.
COOLMATIC Button The COOLMATIC function is suited for quick cooling of large quantities of goods in the refrigerator, e.g. drinks and salads for a party. COOLMATIC function is switched on by pressing the COOLMATIC ☞1. The button. The yellow light illuminates. 2. The COOLMATIC function now provides for intensive cooling. A DESIRED temperature of +2°C is automatically selected. The COOLMATIC function is ended automatically after a period of 6 hours. The originally selected DESIRED temperature is again valid.
Interior Accessories Storage shelves/glass shelves ☞ Various glass or plastic storage shelves and wire trays are included with your appliance - different models have different combinations. You should always slide one of the full size glass storage shelves into the lowest set of guides, above the vegetable drawers, and keep it in this position. 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.
Interior Accessories Variable Storage Box (not on all models, design differs depending on the model) Some models are equipped with a variable storage box which is fitted under a door shelf compartment and can be slid sideways. The box can be inserted under every door shelf compartment. 1. To change, lift the shelf compartment with the box upwards and out of the holders in the door and remove the retaining bracket out of the guide under the shelf compartment. 2.
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 drawer and the storage compartments on the door. The arrangement example shows at which places in the refrigerator suitable temperatures for various types of foods exist. Tip: Food in the fridge should always be covered or packaged, to prevent drying and tainting of other food.

Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or disconnect from the electricity supply. 4.
Energy Saving Tips • Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources of warmth. 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. • Only leave door open as long as necessary. • Do not set temperature any colder than necessary.

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.
