The packaging is designed to protect the appliance and individual components during transport and is made of recyclable materials.

Corrugated board/board
- Moulded polystyrene (foamed, CFC-free polystyrene)
- Polythene bags and sheets
- Polypropylene straps
- Keep packaging materials away from children - polythene sheets and bags can suffocate!
- Please return the packaging material to your nearest official collection point so that the various materials can be reused or recycled as far as possible.

Your old appliance:

This contains some reusable materials and should not simply be disposed of with household or bulk refuse.

• Disable discarded appliances immediately by removing the plug and cutting through the connection cable.
  Remove the spring-action or bolt catch from the appliance or render it unusable so that children cannot become trapped inside and suffocate.
• Ensure that the refrigerant circuit is not damaged before the appliance that is no longer needed is taken away for disposal. In this way the refrigerant or oil will not escape into the environment.
• Exact details of the refrigerant used can be found on the type plate. The heat insulator is PU with Pentane.
  Information on collection dates or collection points can be obtained from the waste disposal authorities or local council.

Technical safety

• To prevent injury or damage to the unit, the appliance should only be transported wrapped and set up by two people.
  The refrigerant R 600a is environmentally friendly but flammable.
• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit pipes. Splashes of refrigerant can harm your eyes or ignite.
  If refrigerant escapes, remove all naked flames or sources of ignition in the vicinity of the leak, disconnect the appliance from the mains and ventilate the area well.
  In the event that the appliance is damaged, contact the supplier immediately before connecting to the mains.
  To guarantee safe operation, ensure that the appliance is set up and connected as described in these operating instructions.
• Disconnect the appliance from the mains if any fault occurs. Pull out the plug (not by pulling on the mains cable) or switch off or remove the fuse.
• Any repairs and work on the appliance should only be carried out by the customer service department, as unauthorised work could prove highly dangerous for the user. The same applies to changing the mains power cable.

Safety during use

Do not store explosives or sprays using combustible propellants such as butane, propane, pentane, etc. in the appliance. Electrical components might cause leaking gas to ignite. You can identify such sprays by the printed contents or a flame symbol.
- Only store high-percentage alcohol in tightly sealed, upright containers.
- Do not allow naked flames or ignition sources to enter the appliance.
- Do not use electrical appliances inside the appliance (e.g. steam cleaners, heaters, ice makers, etc.).
- Do not stand on the plinth, drawers or doors or use them to support anything else.
- Do not let children play with the appliance, e.g. do not allow them to sit in the drawers or swing on the door.
Do not consume food which has been stored for too long, as it could cause food poisoning.

Setting up

• When setting up/fitting ensure that the refrigerant circuit pipes are not damaged.
  Standard EN 378 specifies that the room in which you install your appliance must have a volume of 1m^3 per 8 g of R 600a refrigerant used in the appliance, so as to avoid the formation of inflammable gas/air mixtures in the room where the appliance is located in the event of a leak in the refrigerant circuit. The quantity of refrigerant used in your appliance is indicated on the type plate on the inside of the appliance.
• Avoid positioning in direct sunlight or next to an oven, radiator or similar, in damp locations or near spraying water.
• Once in position, use the 10 spanner provided to adjust the feet so that the appliance is level and does not wobble.
• The ventilation grilles should not be obstructed. Always ensure that there is good ventilation and that the outward flowing air is able to escape. More information can be found in the installation and modification instructions.
• Do not place heat-emitting appliances, e.g. microwave oven, toaster, etc., on top of the refrigerator or freezer.
• When you open the door for the first time, the handle switches from the transport position to the operating position; you will hear a soft click.
  Remove all transportation safety components:
• Remove sticky tape or spacers* from shelves and insert shelves in the required position.
• Remove all protective film: from the decorative trims, front walls and side walls*.

You are advised to clean the appliance before switching it on for the first time (see "Cleaning").

Safety regulations

The appliance is intended for chilling food. It is designed as a household appliance. If used commercially, the relevant regulations on commercial use must be observed.
The appliance is set to operate within specific ambient temperature limits according to its climate rating. These temperature limits should not be exceeded. The correct climate rating for your appliance is indicated on the type plate. This is explained as follows:

Climate rating	Set for ambient temperatures of
SN	+10°C to +32°C
N	+16°C to +32°C
ST	+18°C to +38°C
T	+18°C to +43°C

• The refrigerant circuit has been tested for leaks.
  The appliance complies with current safety regulations and EC directives 73/23/EEC and 89/336/EEC.

Connecting to the mains

Power supply (AC) and voltage

at the operating point must comply with the details on the type plate, which is located inside the appliance on the left, fig. A.

• Connect the appliance with a properly earthed fused plug and socket only.
  The socket must be fused with a 10 A fuse or higher, it must be away from the rear of the appliance and must be easily accessible.
• Do not connect the appliance to the supply with other equipment using an extension cable - risk of overheating.
• When removing the mains cable from the back of the appliance, remove the cable holder as well so as to avoid vibration noise.

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: green/yellow = earth, blue = neutral, brown = live.

Warning! This appliance must be earthed.

Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363

If this machine or appliance is fitted with a nonrewireable plug, the following information applies: If the socket outlets are not suitable for the plug supplied with this product, it must be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted. The plug cut from the flexible cord should be disposed of and on no account be inserted into a 13 A socket elsewhere in the house (electric shock hazard).

The fuse cover must be re-fitted when changing the fuse, and if the fuse cover is lost the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is obtained. The colour of the correct replacement cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of the plug, or the colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug (as applicable to the design of the plug fitted). The correct rating of the replacement fuses that are ASTA approved to BS 1362 should be fitted. Replacement fuse covers may be purchased from your local electrical suppliers, electricity showroom or approved service agent.

Switching the appliance on and off

To switch on: Turn the temperature control ① to "2.5" with a coin, fig. A1.
- The interior light will switch on.
To switch off: Set the temperature control to "0".
- The interior light will go out.

Setting the temperature

• Turn the temperature control ① using a coin. The slot positions mean, fig. A1:

Setting "1" = highest temperature, lowest cooling setting
Setting "4" = lowest temperature, highest cooling setting

We recommend a medium setting.

Please note that the temperature inside your appliance will depend on where you have put it, the temperature in the room, how often you open the door, and what you put in it. If necessary, re-adjust the temperature control.

Fanswitch\*

for recirculated-air cooling, fig. A1/②

You can use the fan switch as required to: - chill large quantities of fresh food fast;
- keep the temperature evenly distributed throughout the entire refrigerator compartment. The air will circulate more intensively, thus keeping all the different areas in the appliance at the same temperature and ensuring that all the food inside is chilled at the same temperature.
- You are recommended to always use the fan switch:
- when the ambient temperature is high (approx. 30^ or more) or the room is very humid, e.g. during the summer.
To switch on: Press the fan button ② briefly so that the relevant indicator lamp lights up.
- To switch off: Press the fan button again so that the indicator lamp goes out.

NB:

When the fan is switched on, energy consumption will increase and the refrigerator will work harder; the temperature will drop and it will be colder.

Notes on energy saving

• Ensure that there is adequate space around the appliance for ventilation and air extraction.
  Avoid keeping the door open for too long.
• Store food logically. Do not exceed the storage period specified.
• Keep all food properly packed and covered so as to avoid condensation.
  Always allow hot food to cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance.
  Defrost frozen food in the refrigerator.

1 butter, cheese, pre-cooked meals
2 eggs
3 cans, drinks, bottles

5 preserves, baked goods
6 dairy products
7 meat and sausage products, fish
8 fruit, vegetables, salad

Arranging food in the refrigerator

The natural circulation of the air inside the refrigerator results in different parts of the refrigerator having different temperatures. This can have its advantages for different types of food. The refrigerator is coldest just above the vegetable bins and against the rear wall (suitable for sausage and meat products etc.); it is warmest at the front at the top and in the door (suitable for spreadable butter, cheese etc.). See fig. B for food storage suggestions.

Notes on cooling

• Store food so that air can circulate properly around it. Do not pack the refrigerator too full.
• Food which gives off or absorbs odours and flavours, and liquids should always be stored covered or in closed containers.
  Always store food which gives off or is sensitive to ethylene gases such as fruit, vegetables and salads separately or wrapped in order not to affect their storage life; e.g. do not store tomatoes together with kiwis or cabbage.

Changing shelf arrangement

• You can change the position of the jar rack* and remove all door racks for cleaning, fig. C: Slide the door rack up, pull out towards you and replace in reverse order.
• By adjusting the bottle/can holder you can protect the bottles from falling over when the door is opened and closed. If your appliance has the equipment illustrated in fig. C1, always hold by the plastic handle.
• The holder can be removed for cleaning:
• If your appliance has the equipment illustrated in fig. C1: slide the bottom edge of the holder up and lever out.

• If your appliance has the equipment illustrated in fig. C2: slide the front edge of the holder up and lever out.

• Shelves* (grids or glass shelves) can be adjusted in height for different height items, fig. D1:

• Lift the shelf, slide forwards and remove. Always insert shelves with the raised edge at the back pointing upwards, otherwise food may freeze onto the rear wall.
• The glass shelves are fitted with stops to prevent them being pulled out accidentally, fig. D2.
  If you require space for large bottles and containers, lift the front half of the split glass shelf and carefully slide it under the back half until the stops* click into the recesses, fig. E1, or
• lift up the flap* in the grid shelf, fig. E2.
• You can use the bottle basket*, fig. E3, to chill drinks and carry several bottles at once.

Interior light

If the interior light does not work, the bulb may be defective.

Changing the bulb:

Bulb data: max. 25 W, voltage and current should agree with the details on the type plate. Only use bulbs of the same size. Bulb fitting: E 14.
- Switch off the appliance.

Pull out the plug or switch off/unscrew the fuse.

Fig. F1: Press the light cover together at the sides (1), lift out and unclip at the back (2).
Fig. F2: Replace the bulb. Apply slight pressure when turning the bulb to overcome the friction of the seal. When inserting the new bulb, make sure the seal is correctly positioned in the socket.
- Clip the back end of the cover in and clip the sides into place.

5 Troubleshooting

Defrosting

The refrigerator compartment

defrosts automatically. The defrost water is evaporated by the heat from the compressor; drops of water on the rear wall are perfectly normal.

• Ensure that the defrost water can flow freely through the drain hole in the rear wall (arrow in fig. A).

Cleaning

Before cleaning, always switch off the appliance. Disconnect from the mains or unscrew or switch off the fuse.
Clean the outer walls, inside and equipment by hand with lukewarm water and a little detergent. Because of the risk of injury and damage to the appliance, steam cleaning equipment should not be used.

Never use abrasive or scouring sponges. Do not use concentrated cleaning agents and never use abrasive or acid cleaners or chemical solvents.

• We recommend using a soft cloth and an all-purpose cleaner with a neutral pH value.
  Only use food compatible cleaning and care agents on the inside of the appliance.
• Ensure that no cleaning water penetrates into the ventilation grille or any electrical components, and keep it out of the defrost drain as far as possible.

Wipe the appliance dry.

• Do not damage or remove the type plate on the inside of the appliance. It is very important for servicing purposes.
  The butter dish* can be washed in a dishwasher. The racks, shelves and other components should be cleaned by hand as they are not dishwasher-safe.

• The shelves and door racks can be dismantled for cleaning. Remove the trims and sides from the glass shelves.
  We recommend treating stainless steel appliances* with a special stainless steel cleaning agent after normal cleaning.

• Clean the drain hole on the rear wall frequently, fig. A, arrow. If necessary, clean with a thin object, e.g. a cotton swab or similar.

The dust should be removed from the refrigeration unit and heat exchanger - metal grid at the back of the appliance - once a year. Dust deposits increase energy consumption.

• Ensure that none of the wires or other components are dislodged, bent or damaged.
• Then connect/switch on the appliance.

If the appliance is to be left switched off for any length of time, empty the appliance, disconnect from the mains, clean as described above and leave the door open so as to avoid odours.

Your appliance is designed and manufactured for a long life span and reliable operation.

If a malfunction nonetheless occurs during operation, check whether it is due to an operating error. Please note that even during the warranty period the resultant servicing costs in this case will have to be borne by the owner. You may be able to rectify the following faults by checking the possible causes yourself:

Malfunction

Possible cause and remedy

Appliance does not work

• Is the appliance switched on properly?
• Is the mains plug properly inserted in the socket?
• Is the socket fuse intact?

The interior light does not come on

• Is the appliance switched on?
• The bulb is defective. Change the bulb as described in "Interior light".

Loud running noise

Is the appliance standing firmly on the floor, or does the compressor cause nearby items of furniture or objects to vibrate?
If necessary, move bottles and containers apart.
- Burbling noises are normal. These are caused by the refrigerant flowing round the refrigerant circuit.

A short clicking sound: This will be heard whenever the refrigeration unit (the motor) switches on or off automatically.

Motor noise: This will be slightly louder for a brief period when the refrigeration unit switches on.

The temperature is not cold enough

Is the temperature setting correct?
If necessary, set a lower temperature.
- Loose thermometer in appliance is showing a wrong reading.
- Does the door close properly?
Is the appliance sufficiently well ventilated?

Clear ventilation grilles if necessary.

Is the ambient temperature too hot? (See "Safety regulations")
- Has the appliance been opened too often or left open too long?
- If applicable, wait until the appliance reaches the required temperature itself.

Customer service and type plate

If none of the above causes apply and you cannot rectify the fault yourself, please contact your nearest customer service department (see enclosed list for addresses). State the:

type designation ①,

service number ② and appliance number ③

as given on the type plate so as to ensure rapid, accurate servicing. The type plate is located inside the appliance on the left-hand side.

• Remove the bottle basket.
• Slide the vegetable bins to the hinge side of the appliance; move the top bin complete with its guide rails.
• Replace the bottle basket on the handle side.

Insertion into row of kitchen units

Fig. U: 600 mm appliances can be installed in a row of kitchen units. To adapt the height of the appliance to the surrounding furniture a top unit (1) can be added.

A gap of at least 50~mm depth must be provided behind and along the entire width of this unit so as to ensure sufficient ventilation. The area of ventilation underneath the ceiling should be at least 300~cm^2 . The greater the area the more economically the appliance will run.

• When installing with standard kitchen units (max. depth 580mm ) and decor panels of max. 2 mm thickness, the appliance can be set up right next to the kitchen unit. The door protrudes 34 mm from the side of the kitchen unit and 51 mm at the front. This enables it to be opened and closed without difficulty.
• When setting up the appliance next to a wall ④ , a minimum distance of 36 mm must be provided on the hinge side between the appliance and the wall (for the handle when the door is open).
  If you wish to attach the appliance to adjacent units or to fit a spacer between the appliance and the wall, please note the following:
• Verify that the door can open and close properly.
• Attach appliance to kitchen units with self-tapping screws (max. depth 10 mm).

① top unit ③ kitchen unit side panel
② refrigerator/freezer ④ wall

Notes on assembling decor panels\* 600 mm appliances can be colour-matched with other elements of a fitted kitchen by attaching a decor panel and frames.

The panels are available from your kitchen furniture supplier. The frames can be fitted later and are available from your dealer.

If you wish to fit the decor panels yourself, you will need a drill or a rechargeable screwdriver to pre-drill the retaining holes. For further instructions and dimensions see the installation instructions included in the retrofit kit.
