2 Preventing material
damage
ATTENTION!
Using the base, runners or appliance
doors as a seat surface or climbing
surface may damage the appliance.
▶Do not stand or support yourself
on the base, runners or doors.
Contamination with oil or fat may
cause plastic parts and door seals to
become porous.

free of oil and grease.
Metal or metal-style parts in the appli-
ance may contain aluminium. Alu-
minium reacts when it comes into
contact with acidic foods.
▶Do not store unpackaged food in
the appliance.
3 Environmental protec-
tion and saving energy
3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environ-
mentally compatible and can be re-
cycled.
▶Sort the individual components by
type and dispose of them separ-
ately.
3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your
appliance will use less power.
Selecting the installation location
¡Keep the appliance out of direct
sunlight.
¡Install the appliance as far away as
possible from heating elements,
cookers and other heat sources:
– Maintain a 30mm clearance to
electric or gas cookers.
– Maintain a 300mm clearance to
oil or solid-fuel cookers.
¡Use a niche depth of 560mm.
¡Never cover or block the external
ventilation openings.
Saving energy during use
Note:The arrangement of the fittings
does not affect the energy consump-
tion of the appliance.
¡Open the appliance only briefly
and then close it carefully.
¡Never cover or block the interior
ventilation openings or the exterior
ventilation openings.
¡Transport purchased food in a
cool bag and place in the appli-
ance quickly.
¡Allow warm food and drinks to
cool down before storing them.
¡Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator
compartment to utilise the low tem-
perature of the food.

4.2 Criteria for the installation
location
WARNING
Risk of explosion!
If the appliance is in a space that is
too small, a leak in the refrigeration
circuit may result in a flammable mix-
ture of gas and air.
▶Only install the appliance in a
space with a volume of at least
1m3 per 8g refrigerant. The
volume of refrigerant is indicated
on the rating plate. →"Appliance",
Fig. 1/
7
, Page13
The weight of the appliance ex works
may be up to 70kg depending on
the model.
The subfloor must be sufficiently
stable to bear the weight of the appli-
ance.
Permitted room temperature
The permitted room temperature de-
pends on the appliance's climate
class.
The climate class can be found on
the rating plate. →"Appliance", Fig.

, Page13
Climate
class
Permitted room tem-
perature
SN 10°C to 32°C
N 16°C to 32°C
ST 16°C to 38°C
T 16°C to 43°C
The appliance is fully functional within
the permitted room temperature.
If an appliance with climate class SN
is operated at colder room temperat-
ures, the appliance will not be dam-
aged up to a room temperature of
5°C.
Niche dimensions
Observe the niche dimensions if you
install your appliance in the niche. If
this is not the case, problems may
occur when installing the appliance.
Niche depth
Install the appliance in the recom-
mended niche depth of 560mm.
If the niche depth is smaller, the en-
ergy consumption increases slightly.
The niche depth must be a minimum
550mm.
Niche width
An inside niche width of at least
560mm is required for the appli-
ance.
Over-and-under and side-by-side
installation
If you want to install 2 refrigerating
appliances one over the other or side
by side, you must maintain a clear-
ance of at least 150mm between the
appliances. Selected appliances can
be installed without a minimum clear-
ance. Ask your dealer or kitchen
planner about this.

6.1 Shelf
To vary the shelf as required, you
can remove the shelf and re-insert it
elsewhere.
→"Removing the shelf", Page22
6.2 Variable shelf
Use the variable shelf to store tall
items, e.g. cans or bottles, on the
shelf below.

the variable shelf and slide it below
the rear part of the shelf.
6.3 Extendable shelf
In order to achieve an improved over-
view and to remove food more
quickly, pull out the extendable shelf.
6.4 Fruit and vegetable con-
tainer
Store fresh fruit and vegetables loose
in the fruit and vegetable container.
Cover any chopped fruit and veget-
ables, or store in air-tight packaging.
You can adjust the humidity in the
fruit and vegetable container via the
humidity controller on the partition
and a special seal.
The air humidity in the fruit and
vegetable container can be set
according to the type and amount of
food to be stored by turning the
humidity control:
¡Low humidity required when
primarily storing fruit or if the appli-
ance is very full.
¡Medium humidity required for
a mixed load.
¡High humidity required when
primarily storing vegetables or
when the appliance is not very full.
Condensation may form in the fruit
and vegetable container depending
on the food and quantity stored.
Remove the condensation with a dry
cloth and adjust the air humidity to a
lower setting using the humidity con-
troller.
To ensure that the quality and aroma
are retained, store fruit and veget-
ables that are sensitive to cold out-
side of the appliance at temperatures
of approx. 8°C to 12°C, e.g. pine-
apple, bananas, citrus fruits, cucum-
bers, courgettes, peppers, tomatoes
and potatoes.

7.2 Operating tips
¡Once you have switched on the
appliance, the set temperature is
only reached after several hours.
Do not put any food in the appli-
ance until the set temperature has
been reached.
¡The housing to the left, the right
and beneath the cool-fresh com-
partment may heat up slightly tem-
porarily. This prevents condensa-
tion in the area of the door seal.
¡When you close the door, a va-
cuum may be created. The door is
then difficult to open again. Wait a
moment until the vacuum is offset.

11 Refrigerator compart-
ment
You can keep dairy products, eggs,
prepared meals, pastries, open pre-
serves and hard cheese in the refri-
gerator compartment.
The temperature can be set from
3°C to 8°C.
The refrigerator compartment can
also be used to store highly perish-
able foods in the short to medium
term. The lower the selected temper-
ature, the longer the food remains
fresh.
11.1 Tips for storing food in
the refrigerator compart-
ment
¡Only store food when fresh and
undamaged.
¡Store food covered or in air-tight
packaging.

¡To avoid impeding the circulation
of air and to prevent food from
freezing, do not place food so that
it has direct contact with the back
wall.
¡Allow hot food and drinks to cool
down first before placing in the ap-
pliance.
¡Observe the best-before date or
use-by date specified by the manu-
facturer.
11.2 Chill zones in the refri-
gerator compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment creates different chill
zones.
Coldest zone
The coldest zone is on the partition
and in the door rack for large bottles.
Tip:Store highly perishable food
such as fish, sausages and meat in
the cool-fresh compartment.

Warmest zone
The warmest zone is at the very top
of the door.
Tip:Store food that does not spoil
easily in the warmest zone, e.g. hard
cheese and butter. Cheese can then
continue to release its aroma and the
butter will still be easy to spread.
12 Cool-fresh compart-
ment
In the cool-fresh compartment, you
can keep fresh food fresh up to three
times longer than in the refrigerator
compartment.
The temperature in the cool-fresh
compartment is kept at around 0°C.
Storing food in the fresh compart-
ment retains the quality of the food
better. The low temperature and the
optimum moisture provide ideal stor-
age conditions for fresh food.
