Safety and warning information

Before you switch ON the appliance

Please read the operating and installation instructions carefully! 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

Fire hazard

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 m ^3 per 8 g of refrigerant. The amount of refrigerant in your appliance is indicated on the rating plate inside the appliance.

When installing the appliance, ensure that the mains cable is not trapped or damaged.

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.

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.

Do not use multiple sockets, extension leads or adapters.

Fire hazard

Portable multiple outlets or power supplies may overheat, causing a fire.

Never leave portable multiple outlets or portable power supplies behind the appliance.

Installation location

A dry, well ventilated room is suitable as an installation location. The installation location should not be exposed to direct sunlight and not placed 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 from the heat source:

■ 3 cm to electric or gas cookers.
■ 30 cm to an oil or coal-fired cooker.

The floor of the installation location must not give way; if required, reinforce floor. If the floor is uneven, compensate with supports.

Distance from wall

When installing the appliance, ensure that the door can be opened by 90^ .

Fitting the wall spacer

Fit wall spacers to obtain the indicated energy rating of the appliance.

A reduced wall gap will not restrict the function of the appliance. The energy rating may then increase slightly.

Distance to the back wall

The distance of 75 mm must not be exceeded.

Aligning the appliance

Place the appliance in the designated location and align. The appliance must be level and stand securely on the floor. If the floor is uneven, use the front height-adjustable feet. Adjust the height-adjustable feet with a spanner.

Note

The appliance must be vertical. Please align it with a spirit level.

Observe 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. 9

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.

Ventilation

Fig. 4

The air on the rear panel and on the side panels 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.

Warning

Risk of electric shock!

If the length of the mains cable is inadequate, never use multiple sockets or extension leads. Instead, please contact Customer Service for alternatives.

The appliance complies with 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 protected by a 10 A to 16 A fuse.

For appliances operated in non-European countries, check whether the indicated voltage and current type match the values of your electricity supply. This information can be found on the rating plate, Fig. 9.

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.

Operating tips

• When the appliance has been switched on, it may take several hours until the set temperatures have been reached.
  ■ The fully automatic NoFrost system ensures that the freezer compartment remains free of ice. Defrosting is no longer required.
  ■ The sides of the housing are sometimes heated slightly. This prevents condensation in the area of the door seal.
  If the freezer compartment door cannot be immediately re-opened after it has been closed, wait until the resulting low pressure has equalised.

Setting the temperature

Refrigerator compartment

Turn temperature controller, Fig. 1/10, to the required setting.

We recommend the setting in line with the marking.

Changing the setting clockwise will lower temperatures in the refrigerator compartment.

At a room temperature below 16^ C, slightly increase the temperature setting in the appliance. At a room temperature above 32^ C, slightly reduce the temperature setting in the appliance.

Select a very cold setting only temporarily if:

■ door is opened frequently,
- large quantities of food are placed in the refrigerator compartment.

■ when the appliance is switched on,
■ when large quantities of fresh food are placed in the appliance,
■ if the freezer compartment door is open too long.

Note

Do not refreeze thawing or thawed food. Only ready meals (boiled or fried) may be refrozen.

No longer store the frozen produce for the max. storage period.

Switching off the alarm

Fig. 2

Press the temperature setting button 1 to switch off the warning signal.

Usable capacity

Information on the usable capacity can be found inside your appliance on the rating plate. Fig. 9

Refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator compartment is the ideal storage location for meat, sausage, fish, dairy products, eggs, ready meals and pastries.

Note when storing food

Note

Optimum cooling capacity is attained when the upper glass shelf remains in position.

■ Store fresh, unspoilt food. This will then preserve quality and freshness for longer.
- With ready-made products and bottled goods, observe the best-before or use-by date specified by the manufacturer.
- To preserve 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 section.
- Allow hot food and drinks to cool down first before placing in the appliance.

Note

Do not block air outlet openings with food, otherwise the air circulation will be impaired. Food which is stored directly in front of the air outlet openings may be frozen by the cold air flowing out.

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 section

The air circulation in the refrigerator section creates different chill zones:

- The coldest zone is between the vegetable container and the glass shelf situated above and in front of the air outlet openings.

Note

Store perishable food (e.g. fish, sausage, meat) in the coldest zone.

■ The warmest zone is at the very top of the door.

Note

Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in the warmest zone. The aroma of hard cheese can then continue to develop and butter remains spreadable.

Vegetable container

Fig. 1/13

A high air humidity keeps leafy vegetables fresh for longer. Vegetables and fruit should be stored at a slightly lower air humidity.

The air humidity in the vegetable drawer depends on the amount of stored food.

Note

If the air humidity is too high, drips may form and cause decay.

Freezer compartment

Use the freezer compartment

■ To store deep-frozen food.
■ To make ice cubes.
■ To freeze food.

Note

Ensure that the freezer compartment door has been closed properly. 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!

Freezing capacity

Information on the freezing capacity can be found on the rating plate. Fig. 9

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 an insulated bag and place quickly in the freezer compartment.

en

Note when loading products

Freeze large quantities of food in the fast freezer compartment where food freezes particularly quickly and therefore also gently.

Food which is already frozen must not come into contact with the food which is to be frozen.

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.
2. Remove air.
3. Seal the wrapping.
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

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.

As a rule, 4–6 hours is adequate.

This appliance runs constantly and the freezer compartment drops to a very low temperature.

If the max. freezing capacity is to be used, super freezing must be switched on for 24 hours before the fresh produce is placed in the freezer compartment.

Smaller quantities of food (up to 2 kg) can be frozen without “super freezing”.

Note

When super freezing is switched on, increased operating noises may occur.

Switching on and off

Fig. 2

Keep pressing the temperature selection button 1 until the Super display 2 is lit.

Super freezing automatically switches off after approx. 212 days.

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

Caution

Do not refreeze thawing or thawed food. Only ready meals (boiled or fried) may be refrozen.

No longer store the frozen produce for the max. storage period.

Interior fittings

You can reposition the shelves inside the appliance and the door shelves as required:

■ Pull shelf forwards, lower and swing out to the side. Fig. 5
- Raise the door shelf and remove. Fig. 4

Special features

(not all models)

If a power failure or malfunction occurs, the ice pack can be used to slow down the thawing process.

Ice cube tray

Fig. 7

1. Fill the ice cube tray 34 full of drinking water and place in the freezer compartment.
2. If the ice tray is stuck to the freezer compartment, loosen with a blunt implement only (spoon-handle).
3. To loosen the ice cubes, twist the ice tray slightly or hold briefly under flowing water.

Bottle shelf

Fig. 8

Bottles can be stored securely on the bottle shelf.

Vegetable container with humidity controller

Fig. 6

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.
