Disposal Appliance Packaging Information All materials are environmentally sound! They can be disposed of or burned at an incinerating plant without danger. About the materials: The plastics can be recycled and are identified as follows: >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. the outer covering and the bags in the interior.
Climate classification If the refrigeration appliance is installed next to another refrigerator or freezer a clearance of 5 cm at the sides is required, in order to pre- vent the formation of condensation on the outside of the appliance.
Installation Warning - In order not to impair the function of the appliance, never cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. Installation See installation instructions supplied. Please check whether, after installing your appliance and especially after reversing door seal may lead to heavy frosting and thereby to a higher power consumption (see also „What to do if...“).

Switching off the appliance To switch off, press the ON/OFF button for approx. 5 seconds. This will result in a countdown from "3" to "1" taking place in the temperature display. On reaching "1" the fridge will switch off. The temperature dis- play will go off.
Interior Accessories Storage shelves/glass shelves 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 vegetable drawers, and keep it in this position.
2. Please do the same in reverse to insert the shelf at a different height. The variable box can be hung from a storage shelf in the refrigerator com- partment: 1. Pull the storage shelf forward until it can be tipped up or down and removed.
Warmer regions are the top stor- age shelf, the vegetable drawer and the storage compartments on the door. The arrangement example shows at which places in the refrigerator suit- able temperatures for various types of foods exist. Tip: Food in the fridge should always be covered or packaged, to prevent drying and tainting of other food.

Freezing and storing frozen food • Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause increased ice formation and increase the power consumption. • Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufac- turer. • Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
Preparation of Ice Cubes 1. Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer compartment and leave to freeze. 2. To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend the ice cube tray or hold it under running water for a few seconds.
Cleaning and Care 1. Switch on the FROSTMATIC function a few hours before defrosting to make sure frozen food remains sufficiently frozen. 2. Remove frozen food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and store it, covered, in a cool place. 3.
Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance parts. • Do not use any abrasive cleansers. 1. Remove frozen food and the food from the refrigerator. Wrap frozen food in several layers of newspaper. Store it in a cool place, well cov- ered.
