IMPORTANT!

If you have bought your new appliance as a replacement for an old model, please make the old appliance unusable at once: pull the plug out of the socket, cut the connecting lead off, and dispose of the plug together with the remaining lead in an environmentally friendly manner.

Any snap catch or lock on your old appliance should also be made unusable before you put the appliance away or hand it over to be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.

This will prevent children playing with it endangering their lives by locking themselves in.

Please ensure that the pipes of your old appliance are not damaged before it can be taken away for proper, environmentally 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 refrigerator 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 (VBG 20), and the Specifications of the Institute of German Electrical Engineers (VDE).

The refrigeration circuit has been checked for leakage.

CE This appliance complies with the following EC Directives:

- 73/23/EEC of 19.02.1973 - Low-Voltage Directive

- 89/336/EEC of 03. 05. 1989 (including Amendment Directive 92/31/EEC) – EMV Directive.

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 refrigerator. These Operating Instructions are intended for several technically comparable models with different equipment. Please only follow the instructions corresponding to your appliance version. Please unfold the illustration pages on the cover to enable you to compare the text and pictures alongside.

Removing the adhesive tapes and safety packing

To ensure safety during transport, the door is secured on the housing with adhesive tapes. Depending on model, plastic safety packing or a polystyrene foam insert is interposed between the appliance door and housing under the adhesive tape to ensure safety during transport.

You should remove this transport safety packing. Wipe off any possible adhesive tape residues with a petroleum-based cleanser or similar solvent.

Commercial use

Should you use your home refrigerator 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.

Location

The most suitable location is a dry, well ventilated room.

The ambient temperature has an effect on the amount of current the refrigerating unit consumes.

The appliance should therefore:

- not not be placed in the direct sunlight or next to a radiator or the oven, and

- stand in a place where the ambient temperature is in line with the climate category for which the appliance is designed.

You will find the relevant data on the rating plate located on the left inside the interior of the appliance.

The following are the possible climate categories:

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

If there is no avoiding a position next to a source of heat, the following are the minimum side-to-side distances that must be observed: electric ovens: 3 cm; oil or coal fired cookers: 30 cm. Otherwise it will be necessary to fit a heat-insulating panel. If this appliance is to be positioned alongside another fridge or freezer, the distance between them must be at least 5 cm for technical reasons connected with ventilation and to avoid "sweating".

The appliance must stand on a firm, horizontal surface. Compensate for any unevenness in the floor by screwing the adjustable feet inwards or outwards.

Your refrigerator needs air

Ensure that your refrigerator receives sufficient air so that the heat generated at the rear wall of the appliance can be dissipated.

Air is supplied under the door and vented through the free gap behind the storage area above. Never obstruct these openings.

If your refrigerator is built-in or surmounted by other units, good ventilation is also to be ensured.

The air outlet openings into the free space must each be at least 200 cm ^4 .

The minimum distance between the upper edge of your appliance and any surmounting furniture (e. g. wall unit) should be 10 cm.

Rehingeing the door

Before connecting your refrigerator to the power supply, you should check whether the door must be rehinged from right (as delivered) to left, if this is required by installation site and operability.

Mount freezer compartment door with bearing pin above, press downwards, and press downwards bearing pin with screwdriver.

Upward or downward alignment of the freezer compartment door is possible through adjustment of the lower bearing.

Decorating the appliance door

Figs. 9 and 10

The door front of your appliance can be visually matched to surrounding kitchen units with a decorative trim of up to max. 4 mm thickness using a decor frame retrofitting kit as a special accessory.

Decorative trim dimensions: 1202 x 533 mm.

To establish the dimensions of the decor panel, re-check the dimensions of your appliance door to make doubly sure.

To fit, please proceed as follows (Fig. 9):

1. Remove door (see "Rehingeing the door").
2. Unscrew handle and hole seals of screwholes.

3. Locate frame strips (1), (2), (3), and (4) as well as handle (5).

Electrical connection

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

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

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

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 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 safety (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.

The rating plate is inside, on the left.

Before using for the first time

Like all new appliances, your refrigerator will smell "ne". For this reason, the interior of the refrigerator and all accessories should be cleaned before use (see also "Cleaning and care").

Automatic refrigerator without deep-frozen food storage compartment Starting up and temperature regulation

Fig. 11

The temperature selector knob is located in the refrigerator compartment.

Setting "0" means: Off.

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

Setting "1" means:

highest refrigerating temperature, warmest setting.

Setting "7" means:

lowest refrigerating temperature, coldest setting.

The ambient temperature, loading, and frequent door opening affect the internal temperature. When the setting is changed, the refrigerating unit does not start immediately if defrosting is then in progress.

A high ambient temperature and too cold setting of the temperature regulator, setting "6" or "7", may lead to continuous operation of the refrigerating unit. Reset the temperature regulator to a warmer setting, "4" or "5", so that the refrigerating unit is controlled and the defrosting cycle is automatically reintroduced.

Automatic refrigerator with deep-frozen food storage compartment Starting up and temperature regulation

Fig. 12

The temperature selector knob is located in the refrigerator compartment.

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 *** (end-stop) means:

lowest temperature, coldest setting.

a) During normal refrigeration without use of the freezer compartment, you are recommended to use setting "1". If you require a lower temperature, use setting "2" or *** .

b) When storing frozen food or freezing fresh food yourself in the freezer compartment, use setting "2" or the "***" three-star range.

Example: At a low ambient temperature of 16 °C, you should select the “***” three-star range setting, at a high ambient temperature of 25 °C, the setting between “2” and “***”, and, at an ambient temperature of 32 °C, the setting “2”. On these settings, you can rest assured that fresh food will be thoroughly frozen without it being too cold in the refrigerator compartment.

The ambient temperature, loading, and frequent door opening affect the internal temperature. When the setting is changed, the refrigerating unit does not start immediately if defrosting is then in progress.

A high ambient temperature and too cold setting of the temperature regulator may lead to continuous operating of the refrigerating unit and a drop in the refrigerator compartment temperature. Reset the temperature regulator to a warmer setting so that the refrigerating unit is controlled and the defrosting cycle of the refrigerator compartment evaporator is automatically re-introduced.

Correct storage

Figs. 13 and 14

① = Eggs, preserves

② = Butter, cheese

③ = Tubes

4 = Drinks

5 = Fruit

6 = Vegetables

⑦ = Meat, sausage, cooked meats

⑧ = Dairy produce, margarine, preserves, marmelade

9 = Ready meals, baked goods, preserves

10 = Frozen food, icecream, ice-cubes

For safety reasons (such as the risk of an explosion!) containers containing inflammable gases, e.g. aerosol cans or cigarette lighter refills, must never be placed in the freezer or the refrigerator compartment.

Variable inner door

Depending on the type of food stored, the door racks can be placed in other holders or removed.

Storage shelves / racks adjustable for height

Storage racks or shelves made either of glass or of plastic are included, depending on which version of which model you have bought.

Fixing tongues for plastic storage shelves\*)

Before you arrange the plastic storage shelves at the appropriate heights, the fixing tongues supplied packed in a bag should be inserted in the four mounting pockets provided for them on the underside of the storage shelf, as shown in the enclosed sketch. The shelves will then lie gently but securely.

*) Not with all models

Adjusting the storage shelves / racks

Figs. 15 and 16

You must push one of these shelves into the lowest set of guides, just above the containers for fruit and vegetables, and it must stay in this position.

You can create exactly the storage space you need by adjusting the height of the other storage shelves or the storage racks in any way that suits the height of the items being stored. To do this, please raise the shelf at the back and pull it slightly forwards until it can be swivelled upwards or downwards and taken out (Fig. 15). To insert it in a different position, please follow the same procedure in reverse.

If, on appliances without a freezer compartment, a storage shelf is to be arranged directly under the control and lighting combination on the top set of guides, the storage shelf should first be inserted obliquely on the right and then set in position on the left (Fig. 16).

The storage racks can be set at an angle for the storage of bottles which have already been opened. To do this, pull the rack roughly halfway out of its guides, tilt it slightly upwards, and push it in with the front support bars one level higher.

Make sure that the bars on the rear side of the storage rack always point upwards, so that the items being stored do not lean against the rear wall of the refrigerated space.

Adjusting the VARIO glass storage shelves\*) or the VARIO storage racks\*)

Fig. 17a/b

If, for instance, you wish to store bottles, jars, or cans in the upright position, please place the front half of the VARIO storage shelf at a different level or, in the case of storage racks, the front half underneath the rear half.

This will give you the space you need to put tall items on the shelf beneath.

*) Not with all models

VARIO tray set

Your refrigerator is equipped with two differently sized vegetable trays. Some models are also supplied with half-trays. The half-trays can be individually or vertically stacked or used as a closed box. One half-tray can also be inserted in the RH vegetable tray. This gives you the further option of e.g. storing fruit and vegetables separately from each other.

Freezing fresh food and storing frozen food in the deep-frozen food storage compartment

Before the freezer compartment is loaded with already frozen food for the first time, the optimum storage temperature of -18^ must have been attained.

You can use the freezer compartment for freezing of fresh food yourself. Please observe the following instructions to be sure of obtaining the best results.

Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time (max. 1.5 kg per 24 h). The quality of the food is best preserved when ist is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.

Packed food to be frozen should be placed on the floor of the freezer compartment directly on the refrigerating unit.

Take special care not to mix already frozen foods with those not yet frozen (mimimum distance 4 cm)!

Tightly close the deep-frozen food storage compartment door.

A few useful hints before you start freezing

• Foodstuffs (with the exception of meat – see below) must be fresh, mature, and of superior quality. Only thus will you obtain really high-quality frozen food.
  ● Fruit and vegetables should be frozen as soon as possible after harvesting. Only thus will the nutrients, structure, consistency, colour, and flavour be retained.
  ● Meat/game must be hung sufficiently long before freezing.
  ● Always freeze foodstuffs cold or cooled.
  ● Foostuffs that have been defrosted or are starting to defrost should be immediately consumed, i.e. not refrozen, unless you intend to process the raw, defrosted food to make another dish. When cooked, defrosted food can be refrozen.
• Observe the storage time of max. 3 months, which should not be exceeded. When frozen food is stored, the manufacturer's storage time instructions must be followed.
• Do not leave the doors of the freezer compartment and refrigerator open unnecessarily long.

Avoid the following when storing and handling frozen food

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 frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could easily become frozen to the food.

Making ice-cubes

In the ice-tray, you can make ice-cubes in the freezer compartment.

Fill the ice-tray three-quarters full with water, place it in the freezer compartment, and allow it to freeze. If the ice-tray sticks to the freezer compartment floor, never use sharp or pointed objects to loosen it.

The ice-cubes can be loosed from the tray by twisting or by briefly holding the tray under running water.

Defrosting

Fig. 18

Defrosting of the evaporator on the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment occurs automatically. The water evaporates automatically. Frost deposited in the deep-frozen food storage compartment can be removed from time to time with a plastic scraper – never with a knife or other sharp or pointed objects.

The deep-frozen food storage compartment need not be defrosted very frequently. To do this, unplug the appliance (or otherwise disconnect it, e.g. by removing the fuse), and leave the doors ajar.

During defrosting, wrap the frozen food in several layers of newspaper and store in a cool place.

Never use any additional heat sources (electrical heating or warming appliances) for defrosting.

You will otherwise place yourself at risk of a serious accident and also your refrigerator at risk of failure.

Before defrosting, pull the upper storage area slightly forwards and place a bowl underneath to catch the thaw water (Fig. 18).

When the layer of frost has melted, wipe the surfaces well dry.

Cleaning and care

Fig. 19

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

For safety reasons, this appliance must never be cleaned with steam-cleaning equipment. Moisture could find its way into the electronic components, and steam could cause damage to the plastic parts.

Make sure that the drain opening of the drip gutter in the rear wall is always free. If it becomes choked, the thaw water cannot drain and automatically evaporate, so that it runs down to the lowest storage level or under the fruit and vegetable tray. If the water drain opening becomes choked, it is to be cleaned with the aid of a wire (Fig. 19).

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 luke-

warm water to which a mild detergent can be added. Finally, wash with clean water and wipe dry. After cleaning, reconnect your appliance to the power supply (see section on starting up.)

When not in use

If your refrigerator is to remain unused for any length of time, it must be disconnected (unplugged) from the electricity supply (defrost automatic refrigerator with “***” freezer compartment). It should then be cleaned thoroughly and the appliance doors left ajar to prevent any odours from forming.

Faults and servicing

In order to keep your appliance in perfectly safe condition, you should arrange for repairs, particularly to the "live" parts, to be carried out only by qualified electricians.

In the event of a break-down you should therefore contact your electrical dealer or our Customer Service Centre.

Before calling the Service Centre, please check whether there is power in the mains socket (e. g. by plugging a lamp in). Your local electrician will repair any defects in the mains supply.

If the defect lies in the appliance, please inform the nearest Service Centre. In order to avoid unnecessary travel or expense, please state:

• Model description
• E-number
• F-number of your appliance.

You will find these data on the rating plate on the left inside your appliance. We recommend that you enter them here:

• Model description ....
• E-number ....
• F-number ....

Please note: We have to make a charge if our Customer Service technician is called in for no adequate reason, even if the guarantee has not yet expired.

Minor repairs you can carry out yourself

- Interior lighting

If the bulb is defective, you can easily change this yourself. To do this, unplug the appliance (or otherwise disconnect it, e.g. by removing the fuse).

The bulb can be reached from the rear of the cover. Use only a 15 W spare bulb.

- Spare parts

Spare parts can be ordered from the service centre. You can fit them yourself without any special skill or training.

For example

• Butter and cheese compartment
• Door racks and bottle compartment
• Egg holders
• Fruit and vegetable trays
• Storage racks
• Freezer compartment door

Hints on proper use

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

Clean the refrigerating space regularly to ensure hygienic storage of food and to prevent undesirable odours form forming.

Note the storage duration of frozen food in the freezer compartment to avoid quality impairment.

Never place hot food in the refrigerating space or freezer compartment for cooling.

Hints on energy-saving

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

• Do not install your refrigerator 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 – 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 storage temperature for both refrigerated and frozen food.
• Ensure good ventilation.
