IMPORTANT
If your new appliance has been bought to replace
an older model, please make the old appliance un-
usable at once: pull the plug out of the socket, cut
the connecting lead off, and dispose of the plug to-
gether with the remaining lead in an environmentally
friendly manner.
Any snap catch or lock on your old appliance
should also be made unusable before you put the
appliance away or hand it over to be disposed of in
an environmentally friendly manner.
In this way you can prevent children from locking
themselves in when playing and thus endangering
their lives.
Please make sure that the pipelines of your fridge-
freezer are not damaged before collection for envi-
ronment-friendly disposal.
Appliance packaging
information
All materials used are environmentally compatible!
They can be safely disposed of or burnt in a refuse
incinerator!
Regarding the materials: The plastics can also be
recycled and are marked as follows:
>PE< for polyethylene e.g. as used in the outer
wrapping and bags inside
>PS< for polystyrene foam e.g. as used in the
packing; this material is basically CFC-free
The cardboard parts are made of waste paper and
should be put back into the waste paper collection
system.
General instructions
You have just purchased a home refrigerator which
has been produced according to the standards
applicable to these appliances.
During manufacture, the necessary measures have
been taken as required by the Appliance Safety Act
(GSG), the Accident Prevention Regulations for
Refrigerating Installations (VBG 20), and the Specifi-
cations of the Institute of German Electrical Engi-
neers (VDE).
The refrigeration circuit has been checked for
leakage.
This appliance complies with the following EC
Directives:
- 73/23/EEC of 19.02.1973 - Low-Voltage Directive
- 89/336/EEC of 03.05.1989 (including Amendment
Directive 92/31/EEC) - EMC (Electromagnetic
Compatibily) Directive.
Before starting up, we recommend you to read th
following Operating Instructions, since only by doing
so can you benefit from all the advantages offered by
your refrigerator. These Operating Instruction are
intended for several technically comparable models
with different equipment. Please only follow the
instructions corresponding to your appliance version.
Removing the adhesive tapes
The door is secured to the housing with adhesive
tapes. Remove any adhesive tape residues with a
suitable petroleum-based cleansing agent.
Choice of location
If possible, your refrigerator should be installed in a
dry, well-ventilated room.
Its installation in a damp room or the occurrence of
weather-dependent high air humidity may tempo-
rarily lead to precipitation of moisture (dew forma-
tion) on the outside of the freezer compartment.
Ambient temperature has an effect on the power
consumption of the unit. The appliance should
therefore:
– not stand in the direct sunshine, or close to a radia-
tor or cooker
– stand in a position where the ambient temperature
corresponds with the climate category for which
the appliance is designed.
You will find data on this on the rating plate, which is
in the interior of the appliance on the left hand side.
It will consist of one of the following:
Climate category Ambient temperature
from ... to ...
SN + 10 to + 32 °C
N + 16 to + 32 °C
ST + 18 to + 38 °C
T + 18 to + 43 °C
If installation beside a heat source is unavoidable,
the following minimum distances at the sides are to
be complied with: To electric cookers 3 cm, to oil or
coal fired cookers 30 cm.
Install a heat protection panel between the two
appliances.
The appliance should be installed on a firm, hori-
zontal surface. Correct any floor irregularities by
twisting the adjustable feet in or out.

GB
Commercial use
Should you use your home refrigerator commercial-
ly or for purposes other than refrigeration of food
and drinks, you must observe the legal require-
ments applicable to your area.
Your freezer needs air
Fig.1
The refrigerating unit of your refrigerator is designed
for maintenance-free operation. What it should
never lack is good ventilation. Air is supplied under
the door through the ventilation slot between the
refrigerator and storage surface. Air is extracted
through the upper ventilation grille. Never obstruct
these openings by plinth screens or crockery.
If your refrigerator is installed under a continuous
worktop, an air outlet opening of at least 200 cm2
and a ventilation grille (A/B) matching the worktop
design should be provided at the rear of the work-
top (Fig. 1). The cut surfaces of the worktop (C)
should be varnished to avoid swelling due to pene-
tration of moisture.
The appliance wall distance must be at least 30 mm
and should be checked before the ventilation grille
is inserted.
Special accessories:
A = Ventilation grille, brown (E-No. 621 814 002)
B = Ventilation grille, white (E-No. 621 825 004)
Detaching the worktop
Fig. 2
After removal of the worktop of your refrigerator, the
appliance can be installed under a continuous
worktop. To do this, proceed as follows:
Unscrew the Phillips screws (A).
Slide the worktop around 20 mm backwards and lift
upwards (B).
Unscrew the clamping pins (C).
Electrical connection
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED
Please ensure that the voltage and current indicated
on the rating plate agrees with the voltage of your
electricity supply.
220/240 volts ~ (i. e., 220/240 V AC).
If your appliance has been equipped with a mains
lead with a moulded-on type plug, you must comply
with the following regulations: The plug moulded on
to the cord incorporates a fuse. For replacement,
use a 13 amp BS 1362 fuse. Only ASTA approved
or certified fuses should be used. The fuse cover/
carrier must be replaced in the event of changing
the fuse. The plug must not be used if the fuse cov-
er/carrier is lost. A replacement cover/carrier must
be obtained from an electrical goods retailer. If the
socket outlets in your home are not suitable for the
plug fitted to the appliance, then the plug must be
cut off and an appropriate one fitted. When fitting
the plug please note the following points:
Important
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accord-
ance with the following code:
Green and Yellow Earth
Blue Neutral
Brown Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this
appliance may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, pro-
ceed as follows:
1. The wire which is coloured GREEN and YEL-
LOW must be connected to the EARTH termi-
nal in your plug, which is marked with the letter
Eor by the earth symbol or coloured
GREEN, or GREEN and YELLOW.
2. The wire which is coloured BROWN must be
connected to the LIVE terminal which is marked
with the letter Lor coloured RED.
3. The wire which is coloured BLUE must be con-
nected to the neutral terminal which is marked
with the letter Nor coloured BLACK.
When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire
are securely retained in each terminal. Do not forget
to tighten the mains lead clamp on the plug.
Warning! A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp
socket is a serious shock hazard. Ensure that
the cut off plug is disposed of safely.

is fastened with a mounting screw (A) under the panel.
For this purpose, one of the rear mounting screws of
the detached worktop can be used.
Rehingeing the door
Figs. 4, 5, 6
Before connecting your appliance to the power
supply, you should check whether the door hinge
should be changed over from right (as delivered) to
left if required by the installation site and operability.
1. Tilt the appliance slightly towards the rear and
prop it securely.
2. Unscrew the door hinge screws (K) and take the
door bearing (1) downwards out of its cavity
(Fig. 4).
3. Open the door a little way and take it out down-
wards.
4. Unscrew the upper pin (A) (Fig. 5) and screw it
into place on the opposite side.
5. Fit the door into the upper pin (A) and close it.
6. Insert the pin of the door bearing (1) into the left
hand cavity and screw the bearing firmly into
place with the screws (K).
7. Unscrew the door handle and screw it in place
on the left-hand side of the door. Use the plastic
caps to cover the unused screw holes (Fig. 6).
Cleaning before using for the
first time
Like all new appliances, your refrigerator will smell
“new”. For this reason, the interior of the refrigerator
and all accessories should be cleaned before use
(see also “Cleaning and care”).
The rating plate is located inside the appliance.
Plug socket
Fig. 7
The plug socket necessary for connection of your appli-
ance to the electricity supply should be positioned so
that it is possible to pull out the appliance plug.
If your appliance is installed under a continuous
worktop, the plug socket should be provided as
shown in Fig. 7.
A concealed protective contact plug socket re-
quires 10 A/16 A fusing.
Starting up and temperature
regulation
Fig. 8
Insert the plug of the connection lead into the plug
socket with protective earth contact.
When the refrigerator compartment door is opened,
the internal lighting is switched on.
The temperature selector knob is located on the RH
side of the refrigerator compartment.
Setting “0” means: Off.
Turning clockwise in direction “1”: Refrigerating
unit on, the latter then operating automatically.
Setting “1” means: Highest temperature, warm-
est setting.
Setting “6” (end-stop) means: Lowest tempera-
ture, coldest setting.
a) For normal refrigeration, we recommend setting
“3”. If you require a lower temperature, select
setting “4”.
b) For icemaking, rapid refrigeration, and short-
term storage of frozen food in the icemaking
compartment, select setting “5” or “6”.
The internal temperature is strongly affected by the
ambient temperature, loading, and frequent door
opening.

Adjusting the storage racks
If you want to adjust the distance between the stor-
age racks to accommodate taller containers, you
should pull the storage rack slightly forwards until it
can be swivelled upwards or downwards and re-
moved. To insert at another level, please proceed in
the reverse sequence.
Icemaking
Fill the ice-tray 3/4full with cold water, place it in the
icemaking compartment, and allow it to freeze. The
ice-cubes can be easily loosened by twisting the
icetray or by holding it briefly under running water.
Never loosen the frozen-on ice-tray with sharp or
pointed objects, since you may damage the refrig-
erating circuit.
Defrosting
Fig. 8
The appliance should be defrosted whenever a frost
layer of around 4 mm builds on the evaporator.
Before defrosting, empty the icemaking compart-
ment, ensuring that the thaw water collector is
below the evaporator.
The defrosting knob is located at the centre of the
regulator knob (Fig. 8, A). This is pressed in until it
engages. The setting of the temperature regulator
thereby remains unchanged. Do not forget to re-
move the thaw water and to dry the evaporator.
You can accelerate the defrosting process by plac-
ing a bowl of warm water inside the appliance and
keeping the door closed.
For safety reasons, no additional heat sources, such
as e. g. an electric heater or the like, should be used
during defrosting. When the frost layer has melted,
wipe the surfaces well dry. After the defrosting pro-
cess, the refrigerator switches on automatically.
Cleaning and care
Your refrigerator should be cleaned at regular inter-
vals. This is best done when it is empty or contains
little food.
During cleaning, your refrigerator should basically be
disconnected (unplugged) from the electricity supply.
Some organic solvents as well as essential oils (e. g.
juice from lemon and orange peel, butyric acid) at-
tack the plastic parts. Do not forget that, even in the
refrigerator, food stored too long may spoil. To pre-
vent any odours from forming, the contents should
therefore be checked from time to time (including
accessories) and thoroughly cleaned with lukewarm
water to which a mild detergent can be added. Fi-
nalIy, wash with clean water and wipe dry. After
cleaning, promptly restart your appliance.
When not in use
If your refrigerator is to remain unused for any length
of time, it must be disconnected (unplugged) from
the electricity supply. Remove all refrigerated and
deep-frozen packages as well as ice-trays, clean
the refrigerator compartment thoroughly, and leave
the door ajar to prevent any odours from forming.
Internal lighting
Light bulb data: 220 V, 12 W
E 14 socket (never use a bulb of more than 12 W).
Changing the light bulb:
Unplug or otherwise disconnect the appliance
from the mains supply (e. g. by removing the fuse).
Unscrew the light bulb from below and replace with
a new one.
Faults and servicing
To maintain the safety of your appliance, you should
only have repairs, especially on live parts, performed
by a trained electrician. In the event of a fault, please
contact your retailer or the service centre direct.
Before approaching the service centre, check
whether the plug socket is energized (connect light
bulb where necessary). Power supply faults can be
rectified by your electrician.
If your refrigerator has a fault, please notify the near-
est service centre promptly. To avoid unnecessary
journeys and costs, please quote
- the model designation,
- E-number and
- F-number of your refrigerator.
These data are indicated on the rating plate inside
your appliance on the LH side.
N. B.! Unjustified after-sales service calls must be
paid for even during the guarantee period.

15
GB
Minor repairs that you can
carry out yourself
- Spare parts:
Spare parts can be ordered from the service
centre. You can fit these yourself without any
special skill or training, e. g.
- internal equipment parts, such as
butter/cheese compartment,
egg holders,
door racks,
fruit and vegetable drawers,
storage racks.
If the glass panel is defective, please approach
your local glass retailer.
The glass panel has the following dimensions:
- width 427 mm
- depth 245 mm
- thickness 4 mm
Have corners and edges ground.
Hints on proper use
Store your food, depending on type and sensitivity,
in the appropriate temperature zones. This will
enable you to achieve an optimum storage duration
(see illustration under “Correct storage”). Ensure
good packaging and coverage of food intended for
storage in the refrigerator to retain flavour, colour,
moisture, and freshness.
Clean the refrigerator compartment regularly to en-
sure hygienic storage of food and to prevent unde-
sirable odours from forming.
Note the storage duration of frozen food in the
freezer compartment to avoid quality impairment.
Never place hot food in your refrigerator for cooling.
Hints on energy-saving
One or two additional hints on energy-saving are
given below:
- Do not install your refrigerator next to a radiator
or oven. Through high ambient temperature, the
temperature regulator switches on the refrigerat-
ing unit more frequently and for longer.
- Do not place any hot food in the refrigerator –
first allow the food to cool to room temperature.
- Do not open the door unnecessarily and close it
again as quickly as possible.
- Set the most energy-saving frozen food storage
temperature (see “Starting up and temperature
regulation”).
- Ensure good ventilation.
- Keep the heat-emitting condenser (heat ex-
changer), the metal grille on the rear wall of your
appliance, clean. Thoroughly clean it at least
once per year.
