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 room temperatures. The climate class can be found on the rating plate. 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 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. These specifications can be found on the rating plate. m 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. 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 °C28 Getting to know your appliance These operating instructions refer to several models.

1 On/Off button ÿ Serves to switch the whole appliance on and off. 2 “Fast” button h Switches fast freezing on and off (see chapter “Fast freezing”). 3 Temperature setting buttons +/- The temperature is set with these buttons. 4 Temperature display The numbers correspond to the set refrigerator compartment temperatures in °C. 5 Alarm button Ú Used to switch off the warning signal, (see chapter “Alarm function”).30 Switching the appliance on Switch on the appliance with the On/Off button ÿ . The temperature display 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 ▯ After the appliance has been switched on, it may take several hours until the set temperatures have been reached. Do not put any food in the appliance beforehand. ▯ The temperature in the freezer compartment depends on the temperature in the refrigerator compartment. Warmer refrigerator compartment temperatures also cause warmer freezer compartment temperatures. ▯ The sides of the housing are partly heated slightly. This prevents condensation in the area of the door seal. Setting the temperature Freezer compartment The temperature in the refrigerator compartment will affect the temperature in the freezer compartment. Change the temperature in the refrigerator compartment in order to change the temperature in the freezer compartment. Temperatures which are set higher in the refrigerator compartment will increase temperatures in the freezer compartment. Refrigerator compartment The temperature can be set from +3 °C to +8 °C. Keep pressing temperature setting buttons +/- until the required refrigerator compartment temperature is set. The value last selected is saved. The set temperature is indicated on temperature display. Cool-fresh compartment The temperature in the cool-fresh compartment is about 0 °C. Note If frost forms on the refrigerated food in the “cool- fresh” compartment, increase the temperature (see chapter Eliminating minor faults yourself).31 Alarm function Door alarm The door alarm (continuous sound) switches on if the appliance door is open for longer than two minutes. Close the door to switch off the warning signal. Switching off the alarm Press the alarm button Ú to switch off the warning signal. Fast freezing Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible in order to retain vitamins, nutritional value, appearance and flavour. To prevent an undesirable temperature rise when placing fresh food in the freezer compartment, switch on fast freezing several hours beforehand. If you would like to use the max. freezing capacity, switch on fast freezing for 6 hours before placing the fresh produce in the freezer compartment. You can freeze smaller quantities of food without fast freezing. Note When fast freezing is switched on, increased operating noises may occur. Switching on and off Press “fast” button freezer compartment h. If the fast freezing has been switched on the button is lit. Fast 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 (see diagram at chapter “Customer service”). 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. 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).32 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 control The vegetable container is the optimum storage location for fresh fruit and vegetables. The humidity controller of the partition 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 food and quantity stored. Remove condensation with a dry cloth and adjust air humidity in the vegetable container with the humidity controller. “Cool-fresh” container 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 days33 The freezer compartment Is used to: ▯ store deepfrozen food, ▯ make ice cubes, ▯ freeze small quantities of food. Notes ▯ You can tell from the handle whether the freezer compartment door is closed properly. ▯ The freezer compartment door engages audibly. ▯ If the door is open, the frozen food will thaw. The freezer compartment will become covered in thick ice. Also: waste of energy due to high power consumption! Max. freezing capacity Information about the max. freezing capacity within 24 hours can be found on the rating plate (see diagram at chapter “Customer service”). Prerequisites for max. freezing capacity ▯ Freeze fresh food as close as possible to the side panels. ▯ Switch on fast freezing before placing fresh products in the compartment (see chapter “Fast freezing”). Freezing and storing food Purchasing frozen food ▯ Packaging must not be damaged. ▯ Use by the ”use by” date. ▯ Temperature in the supermarket freezer must be -18 °C or lower. ▯ If possible, transport deep-frozen food in a cool bag and place quickly in the freezer compartment.34 Freezing fresh food Freeze fresh and undamaged food only. To retain the best possible nutritional value, flavour and colour, vegetables should be blanched before freezing. Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and asparagus do not require blanching. Literature on freezing and blanching can be found in bookshops. Note Keep food which is to be frozen away from food which is already frozen. ▯ The following foods are suitable for freezing: Cakes and pastries, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without shells, dairy products such as cheese, butter and quark, ready meals and leftovers such as soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and desserts. ▯ The following foods are not suitable for freezing: Types of vegetables, which are usually consumed raw, such as lettuce or radishes, eggs in shells, grapes, whole apples, pears and peaches, hard- boiled eggs, yoghurt, soured milk, sour cream, crème fraîche and mayonnaise. Packing frozen food To prevent food from losing its flavour or drying out, place in airtight containers.

1. Place food in packaging.

4. Label packaging with contents

and date of freezing. Suitable packaging: Cling wrap, tubular film made of polyethylene, aluminium foil, freezer containers. These products are available from specialist outlets. Unsuitable packaging: Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cellophane, bin liners and used shopping bags. Items suitable for sealing packaged food: Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, cold-resistant adhesive tape, etc. Bags and tubular film made of polyethylene (PE) can be sealed with a film heat sealer. Shelf life of frozen food Storage duration depends on the type of food. At a temperature of -18 °C: ▯ Fish, sausage, ready meals and cakes and pastries: up to 6 months ▯ Cheese, poultry and meat: up to 8 months ▯ Vegetables and fruit: up to 12 months Thawing frozen food Depending on the type and application, select one of the following options: ▯ at room temperature ▯ in the refrigerator ▯ in an electric oven, with/without fan assisted hot- air ▯ in the microwave m Caution Do not refreeze thawing or thawed food.
