Installation If installation next to a source of heat is unavoidable, the following minimum clearances must be maintained at the sides of the appliance: – for electric cookers 3 cm; – for oil and coal fired ranges 30 cm. If these clearances cannot be maintained a heat insulating pad is required between the cooker and the refrigeration appliance.
e.g.: AC 220 ... 230 V 50 Hz or 220 ... 230 V~50 Hz (i.e. 220 to 230 volts alternating current, 50 Hertz) The rating plate is inside the appliance at the left.

• Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly. • Do not fill plastic containers for frozen foods to the brim with liquid or paste-like goods, because liquids expand during freezing. Frozen Storage Warning! Before initial loading of the freezer compartment with pre- viously frozen goods, the required storage temperature of -18°C must be reached.
Defrosting The refrigerator is defrosted automatically The integrated evaporator on the rear wall of the refrigerator compart- ment is defrosted fully automatically. The water collects in the discharge trough at the back wall of the refrigerator, and is fed through the discharge opening in the catch tray at the compressor where it is evaporated.
0 Remove all the drawers. Place a bowl directly in front of the appli- ance to collect the water from defrosting and pull out the water drain conduit. Tip: In order to speed up the defrosting process, place a pot of hot water in the freezer compart- ment.
If the refrigerator only is to be cleaned, press the FROSTMATIC button several hours in advance, in order to build up sufficient chill reserve in the freezer compartment for the interruption in service. Do not open the freezer compartment door. 0 Defrost freezer compartment before cleaning (see section: "Defrosting“).
