vent slots in the base and is
exhausted upwards along the back
wall. To ensure proper air circulation
never cover or alter the vent open-
ings.
Important! If the appliance is instal-
led under a hanging cabinet, a clea-
rance of at least 10 cm between the
top of the appliance and the cabinet
above it must be maintained.
Please check whether, after installing
your appliance and especially after
rehingeing the door, the door seal
seals right round. An untight door seal may lead to heavy frosting and a
higher power consumption (see also "Something not working“).
Appliance Alignment
0The appliance level please compensate for unevenness in the floor by
turning the two adjustable feet at the front.

nals in your plug, proceed as fol-
lows:
1. The wire coloured green and
yellow must be connected to
the terminal marked with the
letter "E“or by the earth sym-
bol or coloured green and yellow.
2. The wire coloured blue must be connected to the terminal "N“or
coloured black.
3. The wire coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked
"L“or coloured red.
4. Upon completion there must be not cut, or stray strands of wire
present and the cord clamp must be secure over the outer sheat.

QUICK door opener - an opening
mechanism integrated into the door
handle - the door can be opened
easily at any time.

The temperature display can indicate several pieces of information.
•During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the
refrigerator (ACTUAL temperature) is displayed, the corresponding
light illuminates.
•If the temperature in the refrigerator is warmer than the display
range of the temperature display, all the lights in the temperature
display are extinguished.
•If the temperature in the refrigerator is colder than the display range
of the temperature display, then the light for the lowest temperature
(+2) continues to illuminate.
•When the temperature is being adjusted, the temperature currently
set flashes (DESIRED temperature).
•If there is a malfunction in the appliance that prevents the tempera-
ture from being further measured, all the lights on the temperature
display flash.
Prior to Initial Start-Up
1Before connecting the appliance to the mains and putting it into ope-
ration for the first time, leave the appliance to stand for 30 minutes if
was transported upright. After transport on its side, the appliance must
be left to stand for 4 hours before putting it into operation. This is
necessary to allow the oil to flow back into the compressor. Otherwise
the compressor may be damaged.
0Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial
start-up (see section: "Maintenance and Cleaning").

18 818 1701-00/7
Initial Start-Up

0Press ON/OFF button.
The green power indicator lights up.
0Set the refrigerator to the desired temperature (see section: "Tempera-
ture Adjustment").
3Goods to be refrigerated can be loaded immediately after switching on,
because the storage temperature in the refrigerator is quickly reached.
Temperature Adjustment
With the buttons for temperature adjustment the desired temperatures
in the refrigerator can be adjusted.
0Press either the „+“(WARMER) or „-“(COLDER) button.
The temperature display switches over and the DESIRED temperature
currently set flashes on the temperature display.
0To adjust to a warmer temperature, press the „+“button. To adjust to a
colder temperature, press the „-“button. The changed setting is imme-
diately displayed on the temperature display.
The temperature is adjusted by one display field with each press of a

compartment should be considered cold enough as a storage tempera-
ture.
3When the buttons are not further pressed after an adjustment has been
made, after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) the temperature display swit-
ches over and again displays the ACTUAL temperature in the refrigera-
tor. The display changes from flashing to continuous illumination.
