The appliance is designed for a specific

climate class. Depending on the climate

class, the appliance can be operated at

the following temperatures.

The climate class can be found on

the rating plate. Fig. /

The appliance is fully functional within

the room temperature limits of the

indicated climatic class. If an appliance

of climatic class SN is operated at

colder room temperatures, the appliance

will not be damaged up to a temperature

The air on the rear panel of

the appliance heats up. Conduction of

the heated air must not be obstructed.

Otherwise, the refrigeration unit must

work harder. This increases power

consumption. Therefore: Never cover

or block the ventilation openings!

A cavity depth of 560 mm is

recommended for the appliance.

If the cavity depth is smaller – at least

550 mm – the energy consumption

Installation location

Install the appliance in a dry, well

ventilated room. The installation location

should neither be exposed to direct

sunlight nor near a heat source, e. g.

a cooker, radiator, etc. If installation next

to a heat source is unavoidable, use

a suitable insulating plate or observe

the following minimum distances to a

■ 3 cm to electric or gas cookers.

■ 30 cm to an oil or coal-fired cooker.

After installing the appliance, wait at least

1 hour until the appliance is switched on.

During transportation the oil in

the compressor may have flowed into

the refrigeration system.

Before switching on the appliance for

the first time, clean the interior of

the appliance (see chapter “Cleaning

Electrical connection

The socket must be near the appliance

and also freely accessible following

installation of the appliance.

The appliance complies with the

protection class I. Connect the appliance

to 220–240 V/50 Hz alternating

current via a correctly installed socket

with protective conductor. The socket

must be fused with a 10 to 16 A fuse.

For appliances operated in non-

European countries, check whether the

stated voltage and current type

match the values of your mains supply.

This information can be found on the

rating plate. Fig. /

Never connect the appliance to

electronic energy saver plugs.

Our appliances can be used with mains

and sine-controlled inverters.

Mains-controlled inverters are used

for photovoltaic systems which are

connected directly to the national grid.

Sine-controlled inverters must be used

for isolated applications (e.g. on ships

or in mountain lodges) which are not

connected directly to the national grid.

The vegetable container is the optimum

storage location for fresh fruit and

vegetables. A humidity controller and

a special seal can be used to

container. This allows fresh fruit and

vegetables to be stored twice as long

as with conventional storage.

The air humidity in the vegetable

container can be set according to the

type and amount of products to be

■ Mainly fruit as well as for a large load

– lower air humidity

mixed load or small load – higher air

■ Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapple,

banana, papaya and citrus fruit)

and vegetables sensitive to cold

(e.g. aubergines, cucumbers, zucchini,

peppers, tomatoes and potatoes)

should be stored outside the

refrigerator at temperatures of approx.

+8 °C to +12 °C for optimum

3. Clean the appliance.

4. Leave the appliance door open.

Refrigerator compartment

defrosts fully automatically

While the refrigerating unit is running,

beads of condensation or hoarfrost form

at the back of the refrigerator

compartment. This is quite normal.

It is not necessary to wipe off the

condensation or frost. The rear panel

defrosts automatically. The condensation

runs into the condensation channel,

Fig. #. and is conveyed to the

refrigerating unit where it evaporates.

Keep the condensation channel

and drainage hole clean, so that the

condensation can run out.en

The freezer compartment does not

defrost automatically. A layer of hoarfrost

in the freezer compartment will impair

refrigeration of the frozen food and

increase power consumption. Regularly

defrost the freezer compartment.

Do not scrape off hoarfrost or ice

with a knife or pointed object.

You could damage the refrigerant tubes.

Leaking refrigerant may ignite or cause

Switch on the Super function approx.

4 hours before defrosting.

As a result, the food will drop to a very

low temperature and can therefore be

stored for longer at room temperature.

temporarily in a cool location.

Place ice pack (if available) on

2. Switch off the appliance.

4. To accelerate the defrosting process,

place a pan of hot water on

a trivet in the freezer compartment.

5. Wait until the layer of frost has thawed.

6. Wipe up condensation with a cloth

7. Wipe dry the freezer compartment.

8. Switch the appliance on again.

9. Put the frozen food back in the freezer
