Room temperature, ventilation and cavity depth
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. 12
| Climate class Permitted ambient temperature |
| SN +10 °C to 32 °C |
| N +16 °C to 32 °C |
| ST +16 °C to 38 °C |
| T +16 °C to 43 °C |
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.
en
Ventilation
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!
Cavity depth
A cavity depth of 560 mm is recommended for the appliance. If the cavity depth is smaller – at least 550 mm – the energy consumption increases slightly.
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 heat source:
■ 3 cm to electric or gas cookers.
■ 30 cm to an oil or coal-fired cooker.
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.
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. 12
Warning
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.

Super freezing
Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible in order to retain vitamins, nutritional value, appearance and flavour.
Several hours before placing fresh food in the freezer compartment, switch on super freezing to prevent an unwanted temperature rise.
If the max. freezing capacity is to be used, super freezing must be switched on for 6 hours before the fresh produce is placed in the freezer compartment.
Smaller quantities of food can be frozen without super freezing.
Note
When super freezing is switched on, increased operating noises may occur.
Switching on and off
Fig. 2
Press "super" button 2.
If the super freezing has been switched on the button is lit.
Super freezing automatically switches off after approx. 1½ days.
Usable capacity
Information on the usable capacity can be found inside your appliance on the rating plate. Fig. 12
Refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator compartment is the ideal storage location for ready meals, cakes and pastries, preserved food, condensed milk and hard cheese.
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.
en
Note the chill zones in the refrigerator compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment creates different chill zones.
The coldest zone is on the partition and on the shelf for large bottles.
Warmest zone is at the very top of the door.
Notes
■ Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in the warmest zone. Cheese can then continue to release its flavour and the butter will still be easy to spread.
- Store perishable food (e.g. fish, sausage, meat) in the "cool-fresh" compartment (see chapter The "cool-fresh" compartment).
The “cool-fresh” compartment
The temperature in the fridge is about 0 °C . The low temperature and the optimum moisture provide ideal storage conditions for fresh food.
Food can be kept fresh up to three times longer in the “cool-fresh” compartment than in the normal cooling zone – for even longer freshness, nutrient retention and flavour.
Vegetable container with humidity controller
Fig. 3
The vegetable container is the optimum storage location for fresh fruit and vegetables. A humidity controller and a special seal can be used to adjust the air humidity in the vegetable container.
The air humidity in the vegetable container can be set according to the type and amount of products to be stored:
- Mainly fruit as well as for a large load – lower air humidity
- Mainly vegetables as well as for a mixed load or small load – higher 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.
"Cool-fresh" container
Fig. 1/10
The storage climate in the “cool-fresh” container offers ideal conditions for the storage of fish, meat, sausage, cheese and milk.
Storage times (at 0 °C)
| Depending on the initial quality | |
| Fresh fish, seafood up to 3 days | |
| Poultry, meat (boiled/fried) up to 5 days | |
| Beef, pork, lamb, sausage (cold meat) | up to 7 days |
| Smoked fish, broccoli up to 14 days | |
| Salad greens, fennel, apricots, plums | up to 21 days |
| Soft cheese, yoghurt, quark, buttermilk, cauliflower | up to 30 days |
