Installation
Installation Location
The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room. Energy use and efficient
performance of the appliance is affected by the ambient temperature.
The appliance should therefore:
•not be exposed to direct sunlight;
•not be installed next to radiators, coo ers or other sources of heat; only be installed
at a location whose ambient temperature corresponds to the climate classification,
for which the appliance is designed.
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:
Climate classification for an ambient temperature of
SN 10° to + 32°
N 16° to + 32°
ST 16° to + 38°
T 16° to + 43°
Gently push into place until the top panel rear ventilation grille touches against the wall.
When in positon a 5Omm dear space above the appliances should be maintained. If space
above the appliance is not available, clearance of 25mm should be maintained on both sides.
Your refrigerator needs air
For correct operation this appliance must be located in a dry atmosphere, away from heat
sources, e.g. coo ers, radiators, boilers and direct sunlight.
You should also ensure that air can circulate freely around the bac and the top of the
cabinet. There should be 100mm between the top of the cabinet and any overhanging
itchen furniture. Alternatively allow 50mm between the top of the cabinet and any
overhanging itchen furniture and a gap of 25mm on either side of the appliance.

7
Re ersing the door
The side at which the door opens can be changed from the right side (as supplied) to the left
side, if the installation site requires.
When changing the side at which the door opens, the appliance must not be connected to
the mains. Remove plug from the mains beforehand.
Remo e the lid
Use a flat bladed screw driver to remove the 2 screw covers at the rear of the freezer lid.
Unscrew and lift the lid of the freezer from the rear and remove it. Put it in a safe place.
•Tilt the appliance slightly towards the rear and prop it securely. Unscrew the door
hinge screws and remove the hinge pin brac et.
•Open the door a little way and ta e it out downwards.
•Screw the upper pin and screw it into place on the opposite side
•Fit the door into the upper pin and close it
•Screw the hinge pin brac et seorely into ace on the opposite side using the screws

Starting up and temperature regulation
Insert the plug of the connection lead into the plug soc et with protective earth contact.
When the refrigerator compartment door is opened, the internal lighting is switched on.
The temperature selector switch is located on the RH side of the refrigerator compartment.
•Setting “0” means: Off.
•Turning cloc wise in direction Refrigerating unit on, the latter then operating
automatically. Setting 1 means:
Highest temperature, warmest setting.
•Setting 7 (end-stop) means:
Lowest temperature, coldest setting.
•At a low ambient temperature of around 16 C, setting1 should be selected. At
ambient temperatures of around 25 C, select setting 2 if you require a lower
temperature, select setting 3 or 4.
Important
High ambient temperatures ( e.g. on hot summer days ) and a cold setting on the
temperature regulator ( position 6 to 7) can cause the compressor to run continuously.
Reason: when the ambient temperature is high, the compressor must run continuously to
maintain the low temperature in the appliance. The fridge will not be able to defrost since
automatic defrosting of the fridge is only possible when the compressor is not running ( see
also ‘Defrosting’ section ). The result is the build up of a thic layer of frost on the fridge
rear wall.
It this happens, turn the temperature regulator bac to a warmer setting ( position 3 to 4 ).
At this selling the compressor will be switched on and off as usual and automatic defrosting
recommenced.

10
Interior accessories
Various glass or plastic storage shelves and wire trays are included with your appliance -
different models have different combinations. You should always slide one of the full size
glass storage shelves into the lowest set of guides, above the fruit and vegetable containers,
and eep it in this position.
The height of the storage shelves can be adjusted:
To do this, pulI the storage shelf forward until it can be swivelled upwards or downwards and
removed.
Please do the same in reverse to insert the shelf at a different height.
Correct storage
1. Butter and cheese
2. Preserves
3. Drin s
4. Cheese storage, fruit, and vegetables
5. Meat, salami, cold cuts, dairy produce
6. Ready meals, pastries, preserves
Tip
Food in the fridge should always be covered or pac aged, to prevent drying and tainting of
other food.
The following are suited for pac aging:
•Polyethylene airtight bags and wraps
•Plastic containers with lids
•Special plastic covers with elastic; aluminium foil.

11
Defrosting
The fridge defrosts automatically.
The rear wall of the fridge covers with frost when the compressor is running, and defrosts
when the compressor is off. The water from the thawing frost evaporates by itself.
Switching off the appliance
To switch off the appliance, turn the temperature regulator to position “0”.
If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period:
Remove all refrigerated pac ages.
Switch off the appliance by turning the temperature regulator to position “0”.
Remove the main plug or switch off or disconnect the electricity supply.
Clean thoroughly (see section: cleaning and care)
Leave the door open to avoid the build up of odours.
Cleaning and Care
For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be cleaned
regularly.
Warning
The appliance may not be connected to the mains during cleaning.
Danger of electrical shoc !
Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off
or turn out the circuit brea er or fuse.
Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner.Moisture could accumulate in electrical
components, danger of electrical shoc ! Hot vapours can lead to the damage of plastic parts.
The appliance must be dry before it is placed bac into service.
Important
Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attac plastic parts, e.g. lemon juice or the juice from
orange peel, butyric acid, cleanser which contain acetic acid.
Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance parts.
Do not use any abrasive cleansers.
Remove the food from the refrigerator. Store it in a cool place, well covered.
Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the
circuit brea er or fuse.
Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lu ewarm water.
Commercially available dish washing detergents may also be used.

12
After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry
Accumulation of dust at the condenser increases energy consumption.For this reason
carefully clean the condenser at the bac of the appliance once a year with a soft brush or a
vacuum cleaner.
Chec the water drain hole on the rear wall of the fridge.
After everything is dry place appliance bac into service.

13
Energy sa ing tips
Do not install the appliance near coo ers, 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 bac 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 short as necessary. Do not set temperature any colder than
necessary.
Keep the heat emitting condenser, the metal grille on the rear wall of your appliance, always
clean.
