SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical connection
• WARNING! Risk of fire and electrical shock.
• The appliance must be earthed.
• All electrical connections should be made by a qualified
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.
• Do not pull the mains cable to disconnect the appliance.
Always pull the mains plug.

plug, or with other means for disconnection from the supply
mains having a contact separation in all poles that provide full
disconnection under overvoltage category III conditions, the
means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed
wiring in accordance with the wiring rules. Using an omnipolar
switch with a contact separation of at least 3 mm fitted in the
supply cable will fulfil this requirement.

for the appliance depends on the appliance’s climate class, which is shown on the type
plate.
/
//
//
• Do not place the appliance near a source of heat, such as a gas cooker, radiator or boiler,
etc., and do not expose it to direct sunlight.

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.
• Defrost a conventional freezer once a layer of about 2 to 3 millimetres of frost or ice has
formed on the inside.
• 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.

symbol will be lit.
Switching the appliance on/off
Switching the appliance on: Press the Akey and hold it for 3 seconds.
Switching off the appliance: Again press the Akey and hold it for 3
seconds. The appliance will be off, but there is still voltage in it as it is
still connected to the power mains.

EN 17
DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE
Adjusting the temperature in the appliance
• The factory default setting is the recommended temperature of 4 °C. At this
setting, the temperature in the freezer compartment will be around –18 °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
refrigerator compartment.
• The recommended temperature setting is +4 °C. At this
temperature, food quality and freshness are preserved longer.
• The temperature in the refrigerator compartment also affects the
temperature in the freezer compartment. For a lower temperature in
the freezer compartment, set a lower temperature in the refrigerator
compartment.
• 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.

EN 18
DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE
Intensive cooling/freezing (SuperCool/FastFreeze)
• To activate the intensive cooling/freezing function, press the Akey
several times until symbol Clights up.
• To switch off the intensive cooling/freezing function, press the Akey
to select the desired temperature B.
This appliance has an intensive cooling/freezing function. This function decreases the
temperatures in the refrigeration compartment and freezer compartment as quickly as possible.
Activate this function 24 hours before you put a large quantity of fresh food in the appliance.
When the intensive cooling/freezing function is selected, the appliance works at
maximum capacity. It may then make more noise for a while.
When the intensive cooling/freezing function is not manually disabled then the
function will be automatically disabled after about two days. 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/freezing function is activated will immediately disable the intensive cooling/
freezing function.

EN 19
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 of the
refrigerator compartment 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.
