They contain important information on how to install, use and maintain the appliance. The manufacturer is not liable if you fail to comply with the instructions and warnings. Retain all documents for subsequent use or for the next owner. Technical safety The tubes of the refrigeration circuit convey a small quantity of an environmentally friendly but flammable refrigerant (R600a). It does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect. If refrigerant escapes, it may injure your eyes or ignite. If damage has occurred ■ Keep naked flames and/or ignition sources away from the appliance, ■ thoroughly ventilate the room for several minutes, ■ switch off the appliance and pull out the mains plug, ■ inform customer service. The more refrigerant an appliance contains, the larger the room must be in which the appliance is situated. Leaking refrigerant can form a flammable gas-air mixture in rooms which are too small. The room must be at least 1 m³ per 8 g of refrigerant. The amount of refrigerant in your appliance is indicated on the rating plate inside the appliance. If the power cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, customer service or a similarly qualified person. Improper installations and repairs may put the user at considerable risk.en

Repairs may be performed by the manufacturer, customer service or a similarly qualified person only. Only original parts supplied by the manufacturer may be used. The manufacturer guarantees that only these parts satisfy the safety requirements. A extension cable may be purchased from customer service only.

Ambient temperature and ventilation Ambient temperature 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. / Note 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 of +5 °C. Ventilation Fig. $ The air on the rear panel of the appliance heats up. Conduction of the heated air must not be obstructed. Otherwise, the refrigerating unit must work harder. This increases power consumption. Therefore: Never cover or block the ventilation openings! Connecting the appliance 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 the appliance”). 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.

Switching the appliance on Fig. " Switch on the appliance with the On/Off button 1. The temperature display 2 indicates the set temperature. The appliance begins to cool. Light is switched on when the door is open. We recommend a factory setting of +4 °C in the refrigerator compartment. Do not store perishable food warmer than +4 °C. Operating tips ■ While the refrigeration unit is running, water droplets or a thin layer of ice may form at the rear panel of the refrigerator. This is nothing unusual. It is not necessary to scrape off the frost or wipe off the water droplets. The rear panel defrosts automatically. The condensation collects in the condensation channel and is carried to the refrigeration unit where it evaporates. ■ If the air humidity is high, condensation may form in the refrigerator compartment, especially on the glass shelves. If this is the case, pack or wrap the food and select a lower temperature in the refrigerator compartment. Setting the temperature Fig. " The temperature can be set from +2 °C to +8 °C. Keep pressing temperature setting button 4 until the required refrigerator compartment temperature is set. The value last selected is saved. The set temperature is indicated on the temperature display 2. Usable capacity Information on the usable capacity can be found inside your appliance on the rating plate. Fig. /en

Refrigerator compartment The refrigerator compartment is the ideal storage location for meat, sausage, fish, dairy products, eggs, ready meals and pastries. Storing food ■ Store fresh, undamaged food. The quality and freshness will then be retained for longer. ■ In the case of ready-made products and bottled goods, observe the best- before date or use-by date specified by the manufacturer. ■ To retain aroma, colour and freshness, pack or cover food well before placing in the appliance. This will prevent the transfer of flavours and the discolouration of plastic parts in the refrigerator compartment. ■ Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance. Note Avoid contact between food and rear panel. Otherwise the air circulation will be impaired. Food or packaging could freeze to the rear panel. Note the chill zones in the refrigerator compartment The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment creates different chill zones: ■ Coldest zone is between the arrow stamped on the side and the glass shelf situated below. Fig. % Note Store perishable food (e.g. fish, sausage, meat) in the coldest zone. ■ Warmest zone is at the very top of the door and in the vegetable container. Note Store at the very top of the door e.g. hard cheese and butter. Cheese can then continue to release its flavour and the butter will still be easy to spread.en

Vegetable container with humidity controller Fig. & To create the optimum storage climate for fruit and vegetables, you can set the air humidity in the vegetable container depending on the quantity stored: ■ smaller quantities of fruit and vegetables – high air humidity ■ large quantities of fruit and vegetables – low air humidity Notes ■ 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 preservation of quality and flavour. ■ Condensation may form in the vegetable container depending on the type and quantity of products stored. Remove condensation with a dry cloth and adjust air humidity in the vegetable container with the humidity controller. Super cooling Super cooling sets the refrigerator temperature to the coldest temperature setting for approx. 15 hours. Then the appliance automatically switches to the temperature set prior to super cooling mode. Switch on super cooling mode, e.g. ■ before placing large quantities of food in the refrigerator compartment. ■ for the fast cooling of drinks. Note When super cooling is switched on, increased operating noises may occur. Switching on and off Fig. " Keep pressing the temperature setting button 4 until the super indicator 3 is lit.en
