Safety
The safety aspects of our refrigerators/freezers comply with accepted
technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. Neverthe-
less, 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. If the appliance is used for purposes other than those intended
or used incorrectly, no liability can be accepted by the manufacturer
for any damage that may be caused.
¥ Alterations or changes to the freezer are not permitted for reasons
of safety.
¥ If you use the refrigerator in a commercial application or forpurposes
other than the cooling, freezing or frozen storage of foods,please
observe all valid legal regulations for your application.
Prior to initial startÐup
¥ Check the refrigerator for transport damage. Under no circumstance
should a damaged appliance be plugged in! In the event of damage,
please contact the vendor.
Refrigerant
The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained within the refrigerant
circuit of the appliance, a natural gas with a high level of environ-
mental compatibility, which is nevertheless flammable.
¥ During transportation and installation of the appliance, be certain that
none of the components of the refrigerant circuit become damaged.
¥ If the refrigerant circuit should become damaged:
Ð avoid open flames and sources of ignition;
Ð thoroughly ventilate the room in which the appliance is situated.
Safety of children
¥ Packaging (e.g. wraps, polystyrene) can be dangerous for children.
There is a risk of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from
children!
¥ Please make old appliances unusable prior to disposal. Pull out the
mains plug, cut off the mains cable, break or remove spring or bolt-

24
catches, if fitted. By doing this you ensure that children cannot lock
themselves in the fridge when playing (there is risk of suffocation!)or
get themselves into other dangerous situations.
¥ Often children cannot recognise the hazards present in household
appliances. It is therefore important that you ensure adequate
supervision and never let children play with the appliance!
Daily Operation
¥ Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low tempe-
ratures. There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers
with flammable materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire
extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.
¥ Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer compartment.
They can burst when the contents freeze, high carbonate content
drinks can even explode! Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine,
sparkling wine etc. in the freezer compartment. Exception: high
alcohol content spirits can be stored in the freezer compartment.
¥ Do not put ice creams or ice cubes in the mouth immediately after
removal from the freezer compartment. Very cold ice can freeze to
the lips or tongue and cause injury.
¥ Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze
to the food.
¥ Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigerator/freezer
(e.g. electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.).
¥ Before cleaning the appliance, always switch off the appliance and
unplug it, or pull the house fuse or switch off the circuit breaker.
¥ When unplugging always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not
pull on the cable.
In case of malfunction
¥ If the a malfunction occurs on the appliance, please look first in the
"What to do if ..." section of these instructions. If the information
given there does not help, please do not perform any further repairs
yourself.
¥ Refrigerators/freezers may only be repaired by qualified service
engineers. Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards. If
your appliance needs repairing, please contact your specialist dea-
ler or our Customer Service.

Disposal
Appliance Packaging Information
All materials are environmentally sound! They can be dumped or bur-
ned 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 chlo-
rofluorocarbon.
The carton parts are made from recycled paper and should be dispo-
sed of at a waste-paper recycling collection location.
Disposal of old Appliances
For environmental reasons, refrigeration appliances must be dispo-
sed of properly. This applies to your old appliance, and - at the end of
its service life - for your new appliance as well.
Warning! Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable.
Remove plug from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy
any snap or latch closures. This eliminates the danger that playing
children lock themselves into the appliance (danger of suffocation!) or
place themselves into other life-endangering situations.
Disposal:
¥ The appliance may not be disposed of with domestic waste or bulky
refuse.
¥ The refrigerant circuit, especially the heat exchanger at the back of
the appliance, may not be damaged.
¥ Information concerning collection schedules or locations can be
obtained from the local disposal authorities or town hall.
Remove transport safeguard
The appliance and the interior fittings are protected for transport.
¥ Remove all adhesive tape and packing pieces from the interior of
the appliance.

Installation
Installation Location
The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room.
Energy use is affected by the ambiààent temperature. The appliance
should therefore
Ð not be exposed to direct sunlight;
Ð not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat;
Ð only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature corre-
sponds to the climate classification, for which the appliance is desi-
gned.
The climate classification can be found on the serial plate, which is
located at the left on the inside of the appliance.
The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for
each climate classification: each climate classification:
Climate classification ffor an ambient temperature of
SN +10 bis +32 ¡C
N+16 bis +32 ¡C
ST +18 bis +38 ¡C
T+18 bis +43 ¡C
If installation next to a source of heat is unavoidable, the following
minimum clearances must be maintained at the sides of the applian-
ce:
Ð for electric cookers 3 cm;
Ð for oil and coal fired ranges 30 cm.
If these clearances cannot be maintained a heat insulating pad is
required between the cooker and the refrigeration appliance.
If the refrigeration appliance is installed next to another refrigerator or
freezer a clearance of 5 cm at the sides is required, in order to pre-
vent the formation of condensation on the outside of the appliance.

27
Your appliance needs air
Air flows in from under the
door, at the front, and flows out
upwards, over the back. For
correct air circulation, it is
important that the ventilation
openings are not covered or
obstructed.
Important! If the appliance is
positioned under a kitchen wall
unit, a minimum clearance of
10 cm must be left between
the top of the appliance and
the overhanging wall unit.
Rear spacers
Fit the rear spacers contained
in the documentation bag to
ensure even dissipation of
heat genereted during opera-
tion. Proceed in the sequence
illustrated by the figures.

ried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.
WARNING Ð THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety
measures not be observed.
Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the
same as that indicated on the appliance rating plate. The rating pla-
te is inside, on the left.
The appliance is supplied with a 13 amp plug fitted. In the event of
having to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13 amp ASTA
approved (BS 1362) fuse must be used.
Important!
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the fol-
lowing 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 indentifying the terminals

30
in your plug, proceed as follows:
1. The wire coloured green and yellow must be connected to the termi-
nal marked with the letter ãEÒ or by the earth symbol or coloured green
and yellow.
2. The wire coloured blue must be connected to the terminal ãNÒ or
coloured black.
3. The wire coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked
ãLÒ or coloured red.
4. Upon completion there must be not cut, or stray strands of wire pre-
sent and the cord clamp must be secure over the outer sheat.
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.
Control panel
The thermostat knob (4) is the on/off switch.
The green pilot lamp (3), which comes on when the panel is swit-
ched on and the mains voltage is available. In this switch position, the
refrigerating unit automatically operates by system control.
Temperature adjustment with ambient temperature below +16¡C
When the ambient temperature in the room in which the appliance is
situated is less than 16¡ C, the ambient switch (2) must be depressed.
The yellow pilot light (1) comes on. In this way, when the ambient
temperature is low, the compressor operates for longer periods to
ensure that the storage temperature of -18¡ C is maintained inside the
freezer compartment.
Important!
If the ambient temperature rises to above +16¡C, de-activate the
ambient switch in order to avoid unnecessary energy consumption.

Starting up and temperature regulation
¥ Insert the plug of the connection lead into the plug socket with pro-
tective earth contact.
Setting ã0Ò means: Off.
Setting ã1Ò means: Hightest temperature, (warmest setting).
Setting ã4Ò (end-stop) means: Lowest temperature, (coldest set-
ting).
However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in the mind that
the temperature inside the refrigerator depends on:
-the quantity of food stored
-how often the door is opened
The temperatures in the refrigerator compartment and freezer co part-
ment cannot be independently regulated.
If you want the freeze fresh food rapidly, select setting ã4Ò, ensuring
that the temperature in the refrigerator compartment does not drop
blow 0¡C. You should also promptly reset the temperature regulator to
setting ã2Ò or ã3Ò.
Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold set-
ting on the temperature regulator (position "4") can cause the com-
pressor to run continuously.
If this happens, turn the temperature regulator back to a warmer set-
ting (position "3" to "4"). At this setting the compressor will be switched
on and off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced.
Interior Accessories
Storage shelves
¥ You should always slide one of the full size glass storage shelf into
the lowest set of guides, above the fruit and the vegetable contai-
ners, and keep it in this position.
¥ The height of the storage shelves can be adjusted:

¥ To do this pull the storage
shelf forward until it can be
swivelledupwards or
downwards and removed.
¥ Please do the same in rever-
se to insert the shelf at a dif-
ferent height.Slide the front
half of the Vario storage shelf
in another level to the rear.
By this means you will gain
space to place tall items on
the storage shelf below.
Adjusting the upper door rack
¥ Depending on the food sto-
red, the upper door racks
can be changed to other hol-
ders or removed. Take out
the refrigerators food, press
the door racks digonally
upwards at their edges,
reposition them, and press
them back into place.

Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
¥ do not store warm food or evaporating liquide in the refrigeator
¥ do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
¥ Position food so that air can circuiate freely round it.
Useful hints:
Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer(s)For safety, store in this way only one
or two days at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc: these should be covered and may
be placed on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and
placed in the special drawer(s) provided.
Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight con-

33
Freezing and storing frozen food
You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself.
Important!
¥ The temperature in the freezer compartment must be Ð18 ¡C or col-
der before freezing food.
¥ Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The
freezing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be
frozen within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food seve-
ral days in a row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to
3/4 of that on the rating plate. The quality of the food is best pre-
served when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as pos-
sible.
¥ Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cau-
se increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
¥ Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufac-
turer.
¥ Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into
meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
¥ Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low tempe-
ratures. There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers
with flammable materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire
extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.
¥ Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst
when the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even
explode! Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine
etc. in the freezer. Exception: high alcohol content spirits can be sto-
red in the freezer.
¥ All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do
not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamina-
tion of other frozen goods occurs.
Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could
freeze to the food.
tainers or wapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as
much air as possible.
Milk bootles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the
bottle rack on the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be
kept in the refrigerator.

34
Preparation of Ice Cubes
1. Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer
compartment and leave to freeze.
2. To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend the ice cube tray or hold it
under running water for a few seconds.
Important! Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer
compartment using pointed or sharp edged objects. Use the ice scra-
per supplied.
1. To achieve faster freezing of food or to freeze the maximum allowed
quantity, depress the ambient switch 12 hours before loading the food
without modifying the thermostat setting.
2. Place the food to be frozen in the top drawer.
3. Not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely
necessary.
Storage Goods Symbols/Freezing
Calendar
¥ The symbols on the drawers show different types of frozen goods.
¥ The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate
types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indi-
cated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and
pre-treating before freezing. The lower value applies to foods with
high fat content.
¥ By attaching the included index-tabs to the drawers, they can be
marked according to which type of foods the individual compart-
ments contain.
Ice pack
There is an ice pack in one drawer of the freezer.
In the event of a power failure or malfunction, the ice pack will
lengthen the amount of time it takes for the frozen food to become too
warm by several hours. The ice pack can only fulfil this task optimal-
ly if it is placed in the uppermost drawer, at the front, above the frozen
food. You can use the ice pack for cooling cold bags.

35
Defrosting
Refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigera-
tor compartment every time the motor compressor stops, during nor-
mal use. The defrost water drains out through a trough into a special
container at the back of the appliance, over the motor compressor,
where it evaporates.
Freezer
The freezer compartment, however, will become progrssively covered
with frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper
provided, whenever the tickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm. During
this operation it is not necessary to switch off the power supply or to
remove the foodstuffs.
However when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, comple-
te defrosting should be carried out as follows:
1. Remove the frozen food from
the freezer, wrap it in several
layers of newspaper and put it
in a very cool place.
2. Switch off the appliance and
pull out the plug, or remove or
unscrew the safety fuses.
3. Leave the freezer compart-
ment door open.
4. Insert the plastic scraper into
the recess provided under the
defrost water channel and pla-
ce a collecting basin under it.
5. Once defrosting is completed keep the scraper for future use;
6. Turn the thermostat knob to the required setting or replace the plug in
the power socket.
Warning!
Never use metal tools to scrape off the frost
Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the
thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during defrosting , may
shorten their safe storage life.

36
Switching off the appliance
If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period:
1. Remove all refrigerated and deep-frozen packages as well as ice trays.
2. Switch off the appliance by turning the temperature regulator to posi-
tion "0".
3. Remove the mains plug or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or
fuse.
4. Defrost freezer compartment and clean thoroughly (see section:
ÒCleaning and CareÓ).
5. Leave the door open to avoid the build up of odours.
Cleaning and Care
For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior acces-
sories, should be cleaned regularly.
Warning!
¥ The appliance may not be connected to the mains during cleaning.
Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance
offand rem ve the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the cir-
cuit breaker or fuse.
¥ Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could
accumulate in electrical components, danger of electrical shock!
Hot vapours can lead to the damage of plastic parts.
¥ The appliance must be dry before it is placed back into service.
Attention!
¥ Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g.
Ð lemon juice or the juice from orange peals;
Ð butyric acid;
Ð cleansers which contain acetic acid.
Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance
parts.
¥ Do not use any abrasive cleansers.
1. Remove frozen food and the food from the refrigerator. Wrap frozen food
in several layers of newspaper. Store it in a cool place, well covered.

37
2. Defrost the freezer compartment prior to cleaning (see "Defrosting"
section).
3. Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or swit-
ch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.
4. Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and
lukewarm water. Commercially available dish washing detergents
may also be used.
5. After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry.
Accumulation of dust at the condenser increases energy consump-
tion. For this reason carefully clean the condenser at the back of the
appliance once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.
6. Check the water drain hole on
the rear wall of the fridge.
Clear a blocked drain hole with
the aid of the green peg in the
pack of accessories included
with the appliance.
7. After everything is dry place
appliance back into service.
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.
¥ Put frozen food in the fridge to defrost. The cold in the frozen food
will then be used to cool the fridge.
¥ Keep the heat emitting condenser, the metall grille on the rear wall
of your appliance, always clean.
