Dear customer, Before placing your new refrigerator into operation please read these operating instructions carefully. They contain important information for safe use, for installation and for care of the appliance. Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the appliance.
Safety The safety aspects of our refrigerators comply with accepted technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. Nevertheless, we con- sider it our obligation to make you aware of the following safety infor- mation: Intended use • The refrigerator is intended for use in the home. It is suitable for the cooling, freezing and storing of frozen food, as well as for making ice.

Safety • Please make old appliances unusable prior to disposal. Pull out the mains plug, cut off the mains cable, break or remove spring or bolt catches, if fitted. By doing this you ensure that children cannot lock themselves in the fridge when playing (there is risk of suffocation!) or get themselves into other dangerous situations.
Disposal Appliance Packaging Information All materials are environmentally sound! They can be dumped 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 inte- rior.
Remove transport safeguard The appliance and the interior fittings are protected for transport. 1. Remove all adhesive tape and packing pieces from the interior of the appliance. You can remove any remnants of adhesive using white spirit. Installation Installation Location The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room.
Installation Your refrigerator needs ventilation Integratable models (i-appliances) The integrated door of the furniture cabinet largely seals the installation recess. i-appliances must therefore be provided with ventilation by having an opening in the furniture plinth. The warmed air must be able to be exhausted upwards through the air shaft on the furniture back.
Installation lated without a plinth opening, however, the energy consumption may differ from that specified in the brochure. Important note! 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 rehingeing the door, the door seal seals right round.
Appliance Description View of Appliance (various models) Temperature regulator and interior lighting Butter and cheese compartment with lid Variable storage box (not included with all models, design differs depending on the model) Door storage compartment Bottle compartment Bottle holder (not on all models) Fruit and vegetable trays Shelves Freezer compartment (for storage and freezing)
Prior to Initial Start–Up 1. Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial start-up (see section: “Cleaning and Maintenance”). Starting Up - Setting the Temperature The temperature regulator is in the refrigerator compartment on the upper right. It is also the ON/OFF- switch.
The temperature regulator setting may therefore need to be adjusted to suit the specific conditions. Recommended settings: Examples: Ambient temperature Temperature controller position Approx. 10 °C Range up to 1 Approx. 16 °C Range about 2 Approx. 25 °C Range about 2 Approx.
Interior Accessories Storage Shelves/Storage Racks Depending on the model, your appliance is equipped with either glass storage shelves or storage racks. The glass shelf above the fruit and vegetable compartment must always remain in this position so that fruit and vegetables stay fresh longer. The remaining storage shelves can be adjusted to various heights: 1.
Interior Accessories Moisture regulation (not included with all models) On some models, there is an adjustable air grille in front of the shelf above the fruit and vegetable compartments. The opening in the ventilation slots can be steplessly adjusted with a slider.
Interior Accessories Variable Storage Box (not on all models, design differs depending on the model) Some models are equipped with a variable storage box which is fitted under a door shelf compartment and can be slid sideways. The box can be inserted under every door shelf compartment.
Correct Storage For physical reasons, there are different temperature regions in the fridge. The coldest region is on the lowest storage shelf. Warmer regions are the top stor- age shelf, the vegetable basket and the storage compartments on the door. The arrangement example shows at which places in the refrigerator suita- ble temperatures for various types of...
Freezing and storing frozen food The freezer compartment is for freezing and storing food. Important! • The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18 °C or colder before freezing food or storing food already frozen (for the recommended settings, see the table in the section "Starting up - Setting the temperature").
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.

Defrosting Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze to the food. 1. A few hours before defrosting, set the temperature controller to 6 in order to create a refrigeration reserve in the frozen food. 2.
Cleaning and Maintenance For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accesso- ries, should be cleaned regularly. Warning! • The appliance may not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.
Energy Saving Tips • Do not install the appliance near cookers, 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 back wall of the appliance. Never cover air vent openings. •...
