IMPORTANT!

If the fridge-freezer you have purchased is replacing an older refrigerator or freezer still fitted with a snap catch or lock, you should render this lock unserviceable before throwing the appliance away or putting it out for environment-friendly refuse collection. In this way you can prevent children locking themselves in when playing and thus endangering their lives.

Please make sure that the pipelines of your fridge-freezer are not damaged before collection for environment-friendly disposal.

Appliance packaging information

All used materials are environmentally compatible! They can be safely disposed of or burnt in a refuse incinerator!

Regarding the materials: the plastics can also be recycled and are marked as follows:

PE for polyethylene e.g. as used in the outer wrapping and bags inside

PS for polystyrene foam e.g. as used in the packing; this material is basically CFC-free

The cardboard parts are made of waste paper and should be put back into the waste paper collection system.

General instructions

You have just purchased a home fridge-freezer which has been produced according to the standards applicable to these appliances.

During manufacture, the necessary measures have been taken as required by the Appliance Safety Act (GSG), the Accident Prevention Regulations for Refrigerating Installations (VBG 20), and the Specifications of the Institute of German Electrical Engineers (VDE).

The refrigeration circuit has been checked for leakage. The appliance is radio-interference suppressed in accordance with EEC Directive 82/499/EEC as well as with the Standard relating to the Retroactive Effect of the Mains Supply EN 60 555 Parts 1-3/DIN VDE 0838 Parts 1-3, June 1987.

Before starting up, we recommend you to read the following Operating Instructions, since only by doing so can you benefit from all the advantages offered by your fridge-freezer. Please unfold the illustration pages on the cover to enable you to compare the text and pictures alongside.

Removing the adhesive tapes

The doors are secured to the housing with adhesive tapes. Remove any adhesive tape residues with a suitable petroleum-based cleansing agent.

Commercial use

Should you use your home fridge-freezer commercially or for purposes other than refrigeration, freezing, and deep frozen storage of food and drinks, you must observe the legal requirements applicable to your area.

Choice of position

The refrigerating unit needs a good supply of air and proper ventilation in order to function properly. Please make sure that the air-vents in the plinth underneath the kitchen cabinet and the air-shafts behind it are not covered over or blocked.

Ambient temperature has an effect on the power consumption of the unit. The appliance should therefore:

• not stand in the direct sunshine, or close to a radiator or cooker
• stand in a position where the ambient temperature corresponds with the climate category for which the appliance is designed.

You will find data on this on the rating plate, which is on the lower left inside the refrigerator compartment. It will consist of one of the following:

Climate category	Ambient temperature from ... to ...
SN	+10 to +32 °C
N	+16 to +32 °C
ST	+18 to +38 °C
T	+18 to +43 °C.

B = 200 cm² air inlet
C = Split kitchen unit door
D = Depth overall
E = Height overall

Your fridge-freezer needs air

The refrigerating unit does not require any maintenance. All it needs is proper ventilation. Air intake takes place through the base of the upright kitchen unit.

Provision for air outlet must be made at the top behind the upright kitchen unit. In such a unit, a clear air inlet and outlet cross-section of at least 200 cm ^4 must be provided in the base and towards the room ceiling.

Ensure that these openings are not obstructed by base panels, etc.!

Before using for the first time

In common with all new appliances, your fridge-freezer will smell "new". For this reason, the interior of the fridge-freezer and all accessories should be cleaned before use (see also "Cleaning and care").

Electrical connection

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

Please ensure that the voltage and current indicated on the rating plate agrees with the voltage of your electricity supply.

220/240 volts \~ (i. e. 220/240 V AC).

The rating plate is located inside the appliance at the level of the LH fruit and vegetable drawer.

If your appliance has been equipped with a mains lead with a moulded-on type plug, you must comply with the following regulations: The plug moulded on to the cord incorporates a fuse. For replacement, use a 13 amp BS 1362 fuse. Only ASTA approved or certified fuses should be used. The fuse cover/ carrier must be replaced in the event of changing the fuse. The plug must not be used if the fuse cover/ carrier is lost. A replacement cover/carrier must be obtained from an electrical goods retailer. If the socket outlets in your home are not suitable for the plug fitted to the appliance, then the plug must be cut off and an appropriate one fitted. When fitting the plug please note the following points:

Important

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green and Yellow	Earth
Blue	Neutral
Brown	Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

1. The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the earth terminal in your plug, which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol 12 or coloured green, or green and yellow.
2. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the live terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
3. The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the neutral terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.

When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are securely retained in each terminal. Do not forget to tighten the mains lead clamp on the plug.

Warning! A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious shock hazard. Ensure that the cut off plug is disposed of safely.

Voltage 220/240 V AC

Fuse rating 13 amps

See rating plate for further information.

In order to disconnect the appliance pull out the mains plug. Should your appliance be connected to the mains supply through a fixed wiring connection, it must be isolated from the mains supply by devices in the fixed wiring (fuses, line protection switches, spurious current protection switches, or the like having a contact opening width of >3 mm).

Protective contact plug socket

If the plug socket is arranged above the upright kitchen unit, the appliance can be de-energized by pulling out the plug e. g. during cleaning.

Preparing the upright kitchen unit

Fig. 2

Before installing the upright furniture unit, the back panel must be removed where fitted as a transport safety device.

To ensure satisfactory operation and sealing of the appliance, the upright kitchen unit with its intermediate panels must be exactly at right-angles in all directions and must be aligned vertically.

The doors of the upright kitchen unit should be aligned before the appliance is installed, and the hinge screws should be tightened.

The distance between the kitchen unit door and unit sides should be 1 mm.

Rehingeing the door

Figs. 3, 4, and 5

During transport, the doors are secured with bolts. Unscrew the LH upper and lower bolts with a screw-driver (Fig. 3). Both doors can now be opened to the right.

If the doors are to be opened to the left to ensure better operation, you should also unscrew the bolts on the RH side and unhinge the upper door upwards.

Unscrew the central door pivot and fit it on the left (Fig. 4).

Remount the upper door and screw in the upper bolt on the LH side (Fig. 5). Unscrew the lower bolt on the RH side and screw it in on the LH side. Both doors can now be opened to the left.

Installing, aligning, and fixing

Figs. 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10

Insert the fridge-freezer in the recess of the upright kitchen unit until the upper limit strip (A) bears against the unit ceiling or intermediate panel and the lower door pivot (B) (Fig. 6) closes flush with the unit floor at the front.

If a gap remains owing to a greater recess height between the limit strip above and unit ceiling, this can be closed by insertion of the supplied profile sealing strip (C) (Fig. 7).

Slide and align a fridge-freezer with doors hinged on the right until it bears against the LH side (Fig. 8) and a fridge-freezer with doors hinged on the left until it bears against the RH side.

Screw in mounting screws (D) above and below. Insert ventilation grille (E).

Cut supplied the sealing strip (F) (Fig. 9) to length and press in between the appliance and kitchen unit side wall.

Seal mounting and hinge holes with supplied plugs (G) (Fig. 10).

Connecting the door

Figs. 11, 12, and 13

Mounting positions for slide pieces (H) (Fig. 11) should be marked on the appliance doors. Drillholes of 2.7 mm dia. should be drilled and the slide pieces screwed on, 2 per door. Open kitchen unit and appliance doors 90° (Fig. 12). Place guide pieces (K) on slide pieces (H), prepunch mounting drillholes 26–30 mm away from the kitchen unit door edge depending on the furniture sidewall thickness, and screw on guide pieces (Fig. 13).

Check closing function of doors, and re-adjust slide pieces (H) and guide pieces (K) as necessary.

Side fixing

Fig. 14

Fixing angles (M) (Fig. 14) are arranged on the front LH and RH parts of the central crosspiece of the fridge-freezer.

Loosen the mounting screws, screw the angles on the kitchen unit side walls, align the kitchen unit side walls, and retighten the screws on the appliance. Insert covers (N) on angles.

Starting up and temperature regulation

Fig. 15

Insert the plug of your fridge-freezer in a plug socket with protective earth contact wired as prescribed.

The knob for temperature selection is located in the upper RH part of the refrigerator compartment (A) (Fig. 15).

Setting "0" means: Off.

Rotation in direction "1": Lighting on, refrigerating unit on, the latter then operating automatically.

Setting "1" means: Highest temperature, warmest setting.

Setting "7" means: Lowest temperature, coldest setting.

The internal temperature is strongly affected by the ambient temperature, loading, and frequent door-opening. If the setting is changed, the refrigerating unit of your fridge-freezer does not start immediately if automatic defrosting is in progress.

When starting your fridge-freezer for the first time, we recommend selection of setting "7" = lowest temperature, coldest setting for 3–4 hours.

The necessary refrigerator and freezer compartment temperatures are then rapidly attained. After 3–4 hours, you can set back the knob to a medium setting between 2 and 4.

Setting when the room temperature is below 16 °C

Fig. 15

In the cold season in unheated rooms, the switch (B) (Fig. 15) should be switched on. The red pilot lamp in the switch comes on.

Through engagement of a low heating capacity of 8 W in the refrigerator compartment, it is ensured that, at a low room temperature, the running time of the refrigerating unit is prolonged and the storage temperature of -18 °C is attained in the freezer compartment.

Important!

At a room temperature above 16 °C, the switch (B) should be switched off again (red light goes out), since this causes higher power consumption.

Important note!

High room/ambient temperatures, coldest temperature selector setting, and high refrigerator compartment loading may cause continuous operation of the refrigerating unit and frosting of the refrigerator compartment rear wall.

Set the temperature selector to the warmest setting (setting 4 or 5) to start the automatic defrosting sequence in the refrigerator compartment.

Adjusting the storage racks

Fig. 17a

The shelves are made of glass or plastic, or take the form of wire trays, according to the model and feature you have ordered.

Please make sure you insert one storage shelf into the lowest guide above the fruit and vegetable section. It must always remain in this position.

To ensure individual space utilization, the other stable storage shelves or racks are to be arranged repeatedly depending on refrigerated food height.

For this purpose, pull the storage shelf/rack slightly forwards until it can be swivelled downwards or upwards and removed (Fig. 17a). To insert the shelf/rack at a different level, please proceed in the reverse sequence.

VARIO glass shelf

Fig. 17b

If, for instance, you wish to store bottles, cans, or jars in the upright position, please move the front half of the VARIO glass shelf (if fitted) to a different level, or in the case of wire-tray shelves slide the front half in under the rear half. You will thus gain the necessary space to store tall items on the shelf below.

Adjusting the upper door rack

Fig. 18

Depending on the food stored, the upper door racks can be changed to other holders or removed. Take out the refrigerated food, press the door racks diagonally upwards at their edges, reposition them, and press them back into place.

Freezing fresh food and storing frozen food

You can use the freezer compartment of your fridge-freezer combination for freezing of fresh food yourself.

Before filling the fridge-freezer for the first time with frozen food (deep-frozen food), an inside temperature of -18^ must have been attained. We recommend you to place a commercially available thermometer with a measurement range of +40^/ -40^ in the central storage basket or on the frozen food. Thermometers are also obtainable from the service centre under Order No. 675 113 738. If you want to freeze fresh food yourself, please observe the following instructions to be sure of obtaining the best results.

Freeze only sound fresh food. Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible. The freezing capacity of 4 kg in 24 hours indicated on the rating plate should not be exceeded.

If you want to freeze fresh food on several consecutive days, this should be limited to 2–3 kg per day. If you want to utilize the maximum freezing capacity, set the knob (Fig. 15) to setting "7". For smaller quantities of up to 2 kg, the knob need not be changed.

Place the packaged food to be frozen in the lower storage compartment (9) (Fig. 16). If there is insufficient space, the remaining amount can be placed in the central compartment.

Take special care not to mix already frozen foods with those not yet frozen.

After around 24 hours (earlier for smaller quantities), set back the knob of the temperature selector to the normal setting (between 2 and 4). After freezing, you can place the frozen food at the appropriate freezing level.

If further food is to be frozen, you must restack the frozen food in the storage compartments (8) (Fig. 16) to obtain free freezing space.

Note for test centres:

Stacking diagrams for determination of freezing capacity and warm-up time can be requested direct from the manufacturer.

Icemaking

Fill the ice-tray 34 full with cold water, place it in storage compartments (8) or (9), and allow it to freeze. The ice-cubes can be easily loosened by twisting the ice-tray or by holding it for a short time under running water. To ensure that you always have stocks available, the ice-cubes can be stored in the ice-box in the freezer compartment.

Storing frozen food in the freezer compartment and the do's and don'ts of storing frozen food

Once the freezing process is completed, deep-frozen storage takes place in the temperature range below -18 °C.

For storage of already frozen food, it is imperative to note the storage time specified by the manufacturer on the packaging. Make sure that only packaged food is stored in the freezer, since unpackaged food will soon dry out when exposed to the extreme cold. With the exception of spirits and drinks containing a higher percentage of alcohol, beverages in glass bottles, particularly soft drinks containing carbon dioxide, juices, beer, wine, etc., should not be stored in the freezer. When the contents freeze, the glass bottles will crack or even burst.

Never handle deep-frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could easily become frozen to the food.

Never use the freezer as a means of cooling hot meals, since this causes heavy frost formation inside and an increase in electricity consumption.

Frozen food symbols

Fig. 19

Wherever possible, separate the frozen food in the compartments and place the supplied rider opposite the food type symbol concerned. This will give you a better overall view of the food stored, will enable you to avoid excessive door opening, and will save you power. The figures beside the symbols indicate the maximum storage time in months altogether for several types of frozen food.

Taking out the drawers

Fig. 20

The screened storage baskets have an antitilt feature and are retained in their end position. This assures safe and convenient insertion and removal of frozen food.

To remove the storage baskets, withdraw them as far as their catch, tilt them upwards, and pull them out forwards.

Opening the freezer compartment door - hint on magnetic door seal

After opening and closing the door of the freezer compartment whilst the latter is in operation, you will not immediately be able to open the door again, since a vacuum will have developed inside, keeping the door closed until the pressures inside and outside the door have equalized. After a few minutes, you can easily re-open the door.

Fully automatic defrosting in refrigerator compartment

Fig. 21

The integrated evaporator on the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment is defrosted fully automati-

cally, always when the refrigerating unit is not running. The thaw water thus produced automatically evaporates outside the refrigerator compartment. This automatic system thus saves you laborious work.

Make sure that the drain opening in the appliance rear wall (Fig. 21) is always free and that the thaw water produced can drain unimpeded.

NO-FROST refrigerating system in the freezer compartment and fully automatic defrosting

The evaporator responsible for low-temperature control is invisibly located behind the freezer compartment. A fan arranged in the evaporator region supplies the cooled, dry air into the freezer compartment and extracts the heat from the stored food. Air moisture is deposited as frost on the invisible evaporator, thus eliminating any visible frost formation in the freezer compartment or on the frozen food. A uniform temperature distribution system by return-air refrigeration and dry refrigerated air assure optimum storage conditions for your frozen food.

At periodic intervals of around 8 hours – always after prior running of the refrigerating unit – the evaporator is fully automatically defrosted, the produced thaw water automatically evaporating outside the freezer compartment.

During the 30-minute defrosting phase, the fan is automatically switched off.

Cleaning and care

Your fridge-freezer should be cleaned at regular intervals. This should preferably occur when the appliance is empty or partly loaded. All food packages remaining in the freezer compartment, hermetically packed if possible, should then be wrapped in several layers of newspaper and stored in a cool place (e.g. cellar).

To clean, take all storage baskets out of the freezer compartment.

During cleaning, the appliance must basically not be connected to the mains supply (pull out mains plug or remove fuse).

Make sure that the drain opening of the drip gutter in the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment (Fig. 21) is always free. If the water drain opening becomes choked, it is to be cleaned with the aid of a wire. Some organic solvents as well as essential oils (e. g. juice from lemon and orange peel, butyric acid) attack the plastic parts.

Do not forget that, even in the refrigerator, food stored too long may spoil. To prevent any odours from forming, the contents should therefore be checked from time to time (including accessories) and thoroughly cleaned with lukewarm water to which a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent containing no acetic acid can be added. Finally, wash with clean water and wipe dry. After cleaning of the refrigerator compartment, promptly reconnect the appliance to the power supply (see section on Starting up).

At least once a year, you should thoroughly clean the heat-emitting condenser (heat exchanger), the metal grille on the rear wall of your appliance.

When not in use

If your fridge-freezer is to remain unused for any length of time, it must be disconnected (unplugged) from the electricity supply.

The appliance should then be cleaned thoroughly and the appliance doors left ajar to prevent any odours from forming.

Internal lighting

Fig. 22

Light bulb data: 220 V, 10 W

E 14 socket (never insert a bulb of more than 10 W).

To change the light bulb (A):

Pull out mains plug or remove fuse from holder.

Untwist light bulb and replace from below.

Faults and servicing

To maintain the safety of your appliance, repairs, especially on live parts, should only be carried out by a trained electrician. In the event of a fault, you should therefore contact your electrical retailer or the service centre direct.

If the internal lighting does not come on (or the refrigerating unit does not operate), first check whether the power supply has been interrupted (mains plug, house fuse, overall power failure in the supply system, etc.). If necessary, contact your electrician immediately.

If the temperature inside the freezer section has risen sharply without fresh food having been inserted or the appliance door having been open for any length of time, this means that there is a fault.

Keep your freezer compartment closed and notify our service centre immediately (see list of service centres). In this case, do not carry out any repairs yourself, especially in the electrical parts of the appliance.

When doing so, please quote

• the model designation,
• E-number and
• F-number of your appliance.

These data are indicated on the rating plate on the left inside the refrigerator compartment.

Keep the freezer compartment door closed and tell the service centre whether your appliance is still refrigerating. If the refrigerating system has failed, the low-temperature reserve in the frozen food will be enough to cover a few hours.

N. B.! Unjustified after-sales service calls must be paid for even during the guarantee period.

Important: Check regularly with a thermometer that the storage temperature is being maintained.

Minor repairs that you can carry out yourself

- Spare parts:

Spare parts can be ordered from the service centre. You can fit these yourself without any special skill or training, e.g.

- internal equipment parts, such as

closed containers,

egg holders,

door racks,

fruit and vegetable drawers,

storage racks,

flap and basket screens in freezer compartment, ice-box and ice-tray.

Hints on proper use

Store your food, depending on type and sensitivity, in the appropriate temperature zones. This will enable you to achieve an optimum storage duration (see "Correct storage", Fig. 16). Ensure good packaging and coverage of food intended for storage in the refrigerator to retain flavour, colour, moisture, and freshness.

Clean the refrigerator compartment regularly to ensure hygienic storage of food and to prevent undesirable odours from forming.

Note the storage duration of deep-frozen food in the freezer compartment to avoid quality impairment. Never place hot food in the refrigerator compartment or freezer compartment for cooling.

Hints on energy-saving

One or two additional hints on energy-saving are given below:

• Do not install your fridge-freezer next to a radiator, oven, or in direct sunlight, since, through high ambient temperature, the temperature regulator switches on the refrigerating unit more frequently and for longer.
• Do not place any hot food in the refrigerator compartment or freezer compartment – first allow the food to cool to room temperature.
• Do not open the doors unnecessarily and close them again as quickly as possible.
• Check the storage temperature in the freezer compartment with a thermometer.
• Set the most energy-saving frozen food storage temperature (see "Starting up and temperature regulation").
• Ensure good ventilation.
• Keep the heat-emitting condenser (heat exchanger), the metal grille on the rear wall of your appliance, clean. Thoroughly clean it at least once per year.

If you ever move house

If your freezer compartment is not fully loaded, pack all the frozen food in concentrated fashion at a few storage levels.

Switch the temperature selector knob to setting "7" 24 hours before the removal van leaves to build up a low-temperature reserve in the frozen food.

Secure the doors against opening during transport.

Place your fridge-freezer on the removal van last so that you can unload it first and replug it into the mains supply.
