press the button, the temperature value is decreased by 1 °C. If you hold down the button, the value decreases automatically until you release the button or the minimum value is reached. Approx. 5 seconds after releasing the button, the display stops flashing and the current average temperature is displayed again.

④Refrigerator temperature display:
A temperature value averaged over 2 hours is displayed, which may be different from the set value. This can be the case particularly after defrosting or if the door has been open for a while. If the temperature is lower than -5 °C, «LO» is displayed; if it is higher than 20 °C, «HI» is displayed.
⑤Special compartment operation display

The carrot icon indicates that the special compartment is ready for use. The best storage temperatures are achieved in the special compartment when the setpoint is between 2 and 6. Warmer settings lead to the temperature in the special compartment rising to over 3°C. When the icon flashes, this indicates that the temperature in the special compartment is too warm or too cold. This can be caused by longish operating periods, the fridge door not being completely closed, a power outage or too warm a setting.

⑥Acknowledge alarm

This button can be used to reset the acoustic alarm.

⑦Fast cool button

This activates maximum chilling performance for the refrigerator. A fan icon appears on the display. After 24 hours the system is reset to the original setting and the fan disappears. The fast cool function can also be disabled before this time by pressing the button manually

again. Once the fast cool function is finished, the refrigerator automatically defrosts.

Refrigerator door alarm

After 2 minutes the LED flashes at 15-second intervals. Reset by pressing any button.

After 3 minutes the LED flashes at 5-second intervals. Reset by pressing any button.

After 4 minutes the LED flashes rhythmically once a second. Reset by pressing any button.

After 10 minutes: Audible alarm. Re set by pressing Acknowledge Alarm button. Lasts for 3 minutes - repeated every 30 minutes. If the freezer door is left open for longer than 10 minutes, an audible alarm sounds until the freezer door is closed or the alarm is stopped by pressing any button.

An audible alarm sounds if the temperature in the refrigerator rises 10^ C above the selected temperature value or the average temperature in the freezer is warmer than -9^ C. The temperature alarm can be stopped by pressing any button.

Freezing

■ Only fresh produce is suitable for freezing.
■ Only small quantities should be frozen at one time and the rapid cooling button should be activated (see operating and controll panel) so that the temperature in the freezer does not increase too much. The maximum quantity (2 kg) should be frozen on the grid. For freezing the maximum quantity please activate the rapid cooling button 12 hours before put in produce to be frozen. Leave the temperature in the normal operating position, about 5°C. it is the best to prepack small portions only.

■ Products for freezing should not be brought into contact with products which are already frozen. Products which have been thawed out must not be re-frozen because foodstuffs can spoil.

Variable inner doors

The cover inserts (Figure ①) in the inner doors can be adjusted somewhat and offer the option of a customized setting. To change the location of the inserts and bottle holder: first lift upwards and lift out, then set the required height and replace in the reverse sequence.

Note:

The special compartment should not be used for potatoes, hard cheese, cold-sensitive vegetables such as aubergines, beans, cucumbers, pumpkins, chillies, tomatoes, courgettes.

All cold-sensitive tropical fruits such as pineapple, avocados, bananas, grapefruits, mangos, melons, papayas, passion fruit, etc. should be stored in closed compartments in the fridge (to prevent drying out).

Defrosting

The cold room defrosts automatically. Ice which has formed on the back wall is melted (about once per day, see also the tips). The water flows out of the drainage channel (Figure ⑥) and evaporates from the collection dish outside the appliance.

Be sure to keep the collection channel and the drainage channel clean, so that the melted water can flow out easily. Clean out the drainage channel with the green cleaner provided using an up-and-down and turning motion.

Defrost the freezer compartment if the ice formation becomes excessive. A thick coating of ice reduces the effectiveness of the cold transfer to the frozen products.

Close-up of a hand holding a small electronic component (no visible text or symbols)

⑥

Keep the frozen products as cold as possible and well insulated during the defrosting time, e.g. pack them in newspaper.

• Turn off the appliance by using the main switch (3 sec.)
  – Leave the doors open.

Defrosting can be accelerated significantly if you place a bowl of hot water in the freezer compartment. Attention: do not use sharp implements to remove ice or anything hard frozen. Do not use an electrical heater or an open flame for defrosting.

– After defrosting clean the interior and dry it thoroughly.
- Turn on the appliance by using the main switch (3 sec.)

Refrigerator

The height of the glass shelves can be adjusted individually. Pulling both holders sideways inwardly (Figure ⑦a) and for fixation turn them down and backwards (Figure ⑦b). Pull the glass shelf out of the guidance and replace it in reversed order at the desired position.

Cleaning

The appliance is to be kept clean for the hygienic storage of foodstuffs. It should be washed out from time to time with a mild soapy solution and then dried. An occasional wiping with a vinegar solution suppresses odours and is recommended. Keeping the door seals clean stops them from sticking and thus avoids them being damaged.

⑦b

No scouring cleaners or scratching cloths are to be used. Clean the door seals with a soft brush. If the appliance has not been used for some time, turn off by using the main switch (3 sec.). Empty the appliance, defrost it, clean, and then leave the cold room as well as the freezer compartment open.

• For cleaning the control element please use only a humid flannel.
• Be careful that as little cleaning water as possible goes though the drainage channel into the collection dish.
• Before being put back in use, the appliance and the seals of the cold room and the freezer must all be completely dry.

Informations for energy-saving use

As far as possible, use the cooling unit in its as-delivered state. The arrangement of drawers, shelves and trays ensures the best possible temperature distribution.
■ Do not install the unit near radiators, radiator pipes or smoke extractors and protect it as far as possible from direct sunlight
■ Make sure the unit doors are kept open for as short a time as possible. The quicker the doors are closed again, the less cold is lost.
■ Make sure that the doors are closed fully and correctly. The door seal must be flush against the frame of the fridge.
■ Leave warm or even hot items to cool down outside the unit.
■ The storage of moisture-releasing food-stuffs leads to increased build-up of ice on the rear of the fridge and a reduction in cooling power.

Tips

The following points should be noted when using the new appliance:

■ A appliance which has just been put into use needs approx. 15 hours (with products) until it has reached its normal operating temperatures.
If the doors are open for longer than 2 minutes then the lamp starts to flash. Make sure after closing that the doors are fully sealed. The self-closing hinges assist this.
■ The cooling time for beverages and other products can take up to 6 hours from room temperature down to the cold room temperature. The warmer they are when put in, the longer this time will be.

■ Re-setting the temperature control has no effect on the cooling rate, only on the temperature reached.
■ Condensation can form on the glass shelves if products are stored which emit water vapour.
■ The electronic control defrosts the cold room only about once per day. A cat ice may be visible oftentimes at the back board of the cold room – this is though normal.
■ Be careful that products do not come into contact with the rear wall of the cold room so that they do not freeze to it and that, during defrosting, water does not get diverted into the cold room.
■ When filling be careful that:

• Oil and fats do not come into contact with the polymer parts and the door seals.
• The coldest locations in the cold room for any setting of the temperature controller are at the back wall and above the lowest shelf. Sensitive products should therefore be put on the lowest shelf.

- Loading example:

• Freezer: Freeze and store food products and make ice (①)
• Shelves from top to bottom: Bakery products, ready meals and dairy products (②)
• Racks from top to bottom: Butter an cheese, Tubes, small tins and eggs, large bottles (③)
• Special compartment: Vegetables, fruits, salads, meat and fish (④)
• in pull-out basket: Bottles (⑤).

Operating Noises

Noises which are entirely normal

The chill cabinet is cooled by a compressor (refrigeration aggregate). The compressor pumps coolant through the cooling system, producing operating noises. Even when the compressor cuts out, noises caused by changes in temperature and pressure are unavoidable.

This appliance is fitted with a quiet compressor and a low-noise cooling circuit designed in line with the latest technical developments.

However, a certain level of noise, dependent on the size of the appliance, is inevitable. Operating noise will be most audible immediately after the compressor cuts in. It becomes quieter as the operating period continues.

Noises which are not normal

Unusual noise is normally the result of improper installation. The appliance must be installed or built-in so that it is level and stable. Under no circumstances must tubing come into contact with a wall, other furniture or with another tubing.

Where the appliances are installed in open-plan kitchens or in partition walls, the level of operating noise will be heard more acutely. However, this is due to the surrounding architecture and not to a fault with the appliance.

Description Cause Notes

Droning Cooling aggregate		Normal operating noise of the cooling aggregate.The level is dependent on the size of appliance and on the load-dependent speed of the compressor motor
