electrician.
• Make sure that the electrical information on the rating plate
agrees with the power supply. If not, contact an electrician.
• Always use a correctly installed shockproof socket.
• Do not use multi-plug adapters and extension cables.
• Make sure not to cause damage to the electrical components
(e.g. mains plug, mains cable, compressor). Contact the
Service or an electrician to change the electrical components.
• The mains cable must stay below the level of the mains plug.
• Connect the mains plug to the mains socket only at the end
of the installation. Make sure that there is access to the mains
plug after the installation.

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME
Before you use the appliance for the first time
Do not connect the appliance to the mains until you have carefully read the instructions for the
correct and safe use of the appliance. As these instructions are for various types and models,
it is possible that the instructions for use refer to settings or parts that are not available on
your appliance. We recommend that you keep these instructions for future use. If you sell the
appliance, enclose them with the appliance.
Inspect the appliance for damage and/or irregularities. If the appliance is damaged, contact the
store that sold you the appliance.
Allow the appliance to stand upright for at least 4 hours before you connect the appliance to the
mains. This reduces the risk of malfunctions resulting from transport effects on the refrigerant unit.
Before using the appliance for the first time, the interior and all internal accessories should be
cleaned with lukewarm water and a neutral cleaning agent. Wipe the cleaned parts with a cloth with
clean water and then dry them thoroughly.
If you use the appliance for the first time, do not put food into the appliance until the temperature
has decreased to the set temperature.
Energy-saving advice
• Install the appliance as stated in the instructions for use.
• Do not open the door more than necessary.
• Never cover or obstruct the ventilation openings.
• Replace a door seal that is damaged or no longer seals properly as quickly as possible.
• Store food in well-sealed containers or suitable packaging.
• Allow food to cool to room temperature before you put it in the appliance.
• Defrost food in the refrigerator compartment.
• Space the shelves evenly in the refrigerator compartment. Place the food so that the air
can circulate freely in the appliance (follow the recommendations for the location of foods
enclosed in the instructions).
• When the appliance is equipped with a fan then make sure that the ventilation openings are
kept clear.
• The lower the set temperature, the higher the power consumption.

seconds. The appliance will be off, but there is still voltage in it as it is
still connected to the power mains.

EN 17
Adjusting the temperature in the appliance
• The factory default setting is the recommended temperature of 4 °C.
• After the appliance is switched on, it may take several hours for
the set temperature to be reached. Do not place any food into the
refrigerator before the temperature drops to the selected setting.
• Adjust the temperature as desired using the Akey.
• Press the Akey (several times) until the desired temperature
indicator lights up.
• When the Akey is pressed for the first time, the currently set value
or function will start to flash. Every successive time you press the A
key, the settings indicator will move to the next setting (from right to
left, in a circular manner).
• After three seconds, the setting will stop flashing. Your setting will
be stored and the corresponding indicator will be continuously lit.
The numbers 2, 4, 6 and 8 indicate the degrees Celsius (°C) in the
appliance refrigerator compartment.
• The recommended temperature setting is +4 °C. At this
temperature, food quality and freshness are preserved longer.
• If the ambient temperature in the room where the appliance is
installed is below 16 °C, we recommend setting a temperature lower
than 4 °C.

DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE
Intensive cooling (SuperCool)
• To activate the intensive cooling function, press the Akey several
times until symbol Clights up.
• To switch off the intensive cooling function, press the Akey to
select the desired temperature B.
This appliance has an intensive cooling function. This function decreases the temperatures in
the refrigeration compartment as quickly as possible. This is ideal for cooling products that have
just been put into the refrigerator. Use this function when you put a large quantity of food in the
appliance.
When the intensive cooling function is selected, the appliance works at maximum
capacity. It may then make more noise for a while.
When the intensive cooling function is not manually disabled then the function will
be automatically disabled after about six hours. The temperature then returns to the
latest set temperature.
Should a power failure occur while the function is activated then the function will be
activated again when the power is restored.
Adjusting the temperature of the refrigeration compartment while the intensive cooling
function is activated will immediately disable the intensive cooling function.

DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE
High temperature alarm
Stopping the alarm
1. Touch the Akey to stop the alarm.
▷The alarm will stop sounding.
▷Symbol Dshown in the display continues to flash while the temperature is still too high.
A signal will sound when the temperature in the appliance is too high. Furthermore, symbol D
shown in the display will flash. A high temperature can be caused for several reasons:
• The door has been opened for too long or too frequently.
• The door does not seal properly.
• Too much fresh food has been put in at the same time.
Every time the appliance is switched on again, it takes a while until the correct
temperature is reached. For this reason, the alarm is disabled for the first 24 hours
after the appliance is switched on to prevent the unnecessary activation of the alarm.
When the alarm is not stopped manually and the temperature remains too high, the
signal will sound for the first minutes of every half hour and when the door is opened.
When you press the Akey for the first time, the alarm will be acknowledged and
turned off. When you press the Akey again, it will already work as a settings
adjustment key.
Open door alarm
An alarm signal sounds when a door is open for too long.
Stopping the alarm
1. Close the door.
▷The alarm will stop sounding.
If you only switch off the alarm by touching the Akey, the alarm will switch on again
after some time because the door is still open.
