The accessibility of the power plug must be en- sured to disconnect the appliance from the power supply in case of emergency. Make sure that the voltage supply matches the specifications on the rating label before connect- ing. Connect the mains cable to a properly installed and earthed wall outlet. If the plug after installation is not accessible, a corresponding disconnect device must be availa- ble to meet the relevant safety regulations.18 Reverse the door opening If required, the door opening can be moved from the right (supplied condition) to the left side.

When replacing the door stop, the appliance must be disconnected from the power supply first.

NOTE: Ask another person to assist.

You possibly need: screw wrench, Phillips screw- driver as well as a thin-blade screwdriver.

Remove the blind cap (1) and the hinge cover (2). Dismount the upper door hinge (4) by loosening the screws (3). Open the appliance door a little and lift it out of the lower door hinge. Displace the blind plug (9) of the appliance door accordingly. Place the appliance door safely aside. Tilt the appliance slightly backwards and block it in this position. Unscrew the feet (7+8). Dismount the lower door hinge (5) by loosening the screws (6). Displace and attach the door hinge (5) at the op- posite appliance side. Turn in the feet (7+8) ac- cordingly. Replace the appliance upright. Put the appliance door on the hinge pin and fix it in its intended po- sition. Displace and attach the upper door hinge (4) at the opposite appliance side. Insert in the blind cap (1) at the opposite hole and put on the hinge cover (2) again, which you have removed at the beginning. Check that the door is optimally aligned both vertical- ly and horizontally to ensure a smooth opening and closing of the door. Startup / Operation Prior to first use CAUTION: After transport, the appliance should be left standing upright for four hours before connecting to the power supply. Nonobservance could lead to malfunction of the cooling system and causes an appliance break- down. Clean the appliance interior including all accessory parts. Consider the instructions which we provide in the chapter “Cleaning and Maintenance”. Starting the appliance Connect the appliance to the power supply. Operate the temperature control. See also the section "Settings". Settings Setting [ 0 ] means that the appliance is in the off state. Turn the temperature control clockwise, start- ing from this setting; the appliance will turn on auto- matically. The power levels [ 1 – 7 ] regulate the different val- ues of the internal temperature. Setting 0: Off sate Setting 1: Lowest setting (warmest inside temp.) Setting 7: Highest setting (coldest inside temp.)

Note that the temperature will change depending on the ambient temperature, frequency of door opening and the amount of food in the appliance. During initial operation, turn the temperature control to the highest setting first, until the appliance has reached the desired operating temperature. After-19 wards it is recommended to turn the control back to a medium setting; correcting the temperature at a later point would then be easier. NOTE: In generally a low to medium power level works best for an optimized food storage. A high power level also increases the energy consumption. Storing food NOTE: Recommendation! To guarantee that the temperature is low enough, you should pre-cool the appliance a few times before initial loading foods. CAUTION: Always pay attention to the storage instructions on the sales packaging. Always store food covered or packed to prevent dry- ing-out and transfer of odor or taste onto other food items. You may pack the food with e.g. Polyethylene plastic bags or foil Plastic bowl with lid Special plastic covers with elastic strip Aluminum foil To avoid contamination of food, respect the following instructions: Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance. Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems (see “Cleaning and Maintenance”). Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food. If the appliance is out of use for long period, fol- low the instructions under "Switching off".

Storage space Depending on requirements, shelves/drawers (par- tially and depending on model) can be adjusted in height or removed to optimize the storage space. NOTE: For the most efficient use of energy, place all shel- ves/drawers in their original position. Temperature zones and storage recommendations The optimal cooling temperature is around 5∼7 degrees for the central area of the cooling. Different cooling zones are created by the air circula- tion. Regardless of the power level, cold air drops off. The coldest zone is on the cooling rear wall and in the lower cooling part. Recommended for storing perishable foods such as meat, fish and sausages at around 2-3 degrees. About that it becomes less cold. For dairy pro- ducts such as yoghurt, cheese and co., the center of the cooling is just the right temperature at around 5 degrees. Well-packed leftovers or preserves needs less cooling. The upper cooling part at around 8 degrees could be the right place. The cooling door is one of the warmest locations. The upper racks are good location for food that needs moderate cooling, such as butter and eggs. There is space for drinks in the lower door racks. The vegetable box (depending on the model) is suitable for fruit and vegetables at a temperature of around 8 degrees, depending on the cooling temperature. To ensure that delicate fruits and vegetables feel good, a glass shelf above avoids the falling cold. Ice compartment The ice compartment allows you to store already frozen food at a temperature up to -4°C temporarily. In addition, observe the recommended storage times on the sales packaging. However, it is especially20 intended for the preparation and storage of ice cu- bes. Operating noise Type of sound Cause Mumbling Compressor during its operation Liquid sounds Circulation of the refrigerant Click sounds The temperature control turns the compressor on or off Disturbing noises Vibration of the shelves or cooling coils Switching off To switch off the appliance turn the temperature con- trol to the off state. If the appliance is out of use for long periods: Remove the appliance content. Disconnect the appliance from the power supply. Defrost (model dependent) and clean the device thoroughly (see ”Cleaning and Maintenance”). Leave open the appliance door to avoid formation of mold and unpleased odor. Tips for Energy saving Disconnect the appliance from the power supply, if it isn’t in use. Do not install the appliance near stoves, heaters or other heat sources. In case of higher ambient temperatures, the compressor will run more fre- quently and longer. Ensure enough ventilation at the bottom and rear side. Never block ventilation openings. Place all shelves, racks or drawers (depending on the model) in their original position. Adjust the temperature not colder than necessary. Allow warm food to cool before placing it in the appliance. Open the unit door only as necessary. Defrost the unit regularly (model dependent). The seal of the appliance door must be complete- ly intact, so that the door closes properly. Cleaning and Maintenance

Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before cleaning and user maintenance. Do not use steam cleaners for cleaning the appli- ance; moisture could enter electrical components. Risk of electric shock! Hot steam could damage the plastic parts. The unit must be dry before restarting operation. CAUTION: Do not use a wire brush or other sharp, abrasive items. Do not use any acidic or abrasive detergents. Do not damage the refrigerant circuit. Cleaning the appliance including interior Clean the appliance interior, the exterior surfaces, the accessories and the door seal regularly with warm water and mild detergent; or with a clean, damp microfiber cloth without cleaning agent. Remove the appliance content and storage it at a cool location. After everything was thoroughly dried, you can restart the operation. Defrosting CAUTION: Never use metal objects (e.g. knifes) to remove ice from the evaporator. Otherwise it can be damaged. To achieve better cooling and to save energy, defrost the appliance regularly as follows: To start the defrosting process, disconnect the appliance from the power supply. Remove the food items and keep covered at a cool location.21 When the ice has melted, wipe the condensate away and dry the appliance interior. Then you may restart the appliance by connecting the plug and turning the temperature control.
