ALARM OFF button
With the ALARM OFF button, the acoustic warning signal 
can be switched off, e.g. the Open Door warning when 
sorting in or out, the food to be chilled or frozen. 
When there is a temperature warning for the freezer compartment, if 
the ALARM OFF button is activated, the temperature display will show 
the warmest temperature the frozen food has reached. 
Prior to Initial Start-Up
1 Before connecting the appliance to the mains and putting it into ope-
ration for the first time, leave the appliance to stand for 30 minutes if 
was transported upright. After transport on its side, the appliance must 
be left to stand for 2 hours before putting it into operation. This is 
necessary to allow the oil to flow back into the compressor. Otherwise 
the compressor may be damaged.
0 1.Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial 
start-up (see section: Maintenance and Cleaning).
2.The appliance must be correctly installed in accordance with the chap-
ter Installation before it is put into operation for the first time. Care 
should be especially taken that the mains voltage and frequency avail-
able correspond with the appliance’s rating plate. 
3.Remove the cold accumulation block from the appliance.
4.Place the cold accumulation block into a drawer only after the optimal 
storage temperature of -18 °C has been reached, and allow to freeze.
5.After 24 hours place the cold accumulation block at the freezer tray or 
at the front of the upper drawer.
6.Re-freeze the thawed cold accumulation block in the same fashion, e.g. 
after cleaning the appliance.

Initial Start-Up 
0 1.Insert plug into mains socket.
2.Press the ON/OFF button.
The green power indicator lights up. A warning tone sounds and the 
flashing red warning light indicates that the required storage tempera-
ture has not yet been reached. The temperature displays shows the cur-
rent, actual refrigerator and freezer temperature. The compressor will 
start and then run automatically.
3.Press the ALARM OFF button to switch off the warning tone. 
4.Set the refrigerator to the desired temperature (see section: Tempera-
ture Adjustment).
3 Goods to be refrigerated can be loaded immediately after switching on, 
because the storage temperature in the refrigerator is quickly reached.
5.Set the freezer temperature to -18 °C or colder (see section: Tempera-
ture Adjustment).
3 Do not load freezer with goods until a temperature of -18 °C has been 
reached, or until the red warning indicator light has gone out.

Temperature Adjustment
With the individual temperature setting buttons the desired 
temperatures in the refrigerator and in the freezer compartment can be 
adjusted independently of one another.
0 1.Press either the „+“ (WARMER) or „-“ (COLDER) button for the refriger-
ator or freezer compartment .
The temperature display switches over and the DESIRED temperature 
currently set flashes on the temperature display.
2.To adjust to a warmer temperature, press the „+“ (WARMER) button. To 
adjust to a colder temperature, press the „-“ (COLDER) button. The 
changed setting is immediately displayed on the temperature display.
Each time the button is pressed the temperature is adjusted by 1 °C.
Adjustable temperature range for the freezer compartment: 
-15 °C to -24 °C.
Adjustable temperature range for the refrigerator compartment: 
+2 °C to +8 °C, +15 °C (Holiday mode)
3 Note: From a food science point of view, +5 °C for the refrigerator 
compartment and -18 °C for the freezer compartment should be consi-
dered cold enough as a storage temperature.
3.When the buttons are not further pressed after an adjustment has been 
made, after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) the temperature display 
switches over and again displays the ACTUAL temperature in the refrig-
erator compartment. The display changes from flashing to illuminated 
numbers.
3 When the setting is changed, the compressor does not start immedi-
ately if automatic defrosting is currently taking place.
Important!  Please check red warning indicator light and temperature 
display regularly to assure maintenance of the storage temperature.

Holiday Mode
In the holiday mode the temperature for the refrigerator is approxi-
mately +15 °C. In the holiday mode it is therefore possible to leave the 
door of the empty refrigerator closed during periods of extended 
absence. Advantage: Unintentional closing of the door, or accidental 
closing of the door by persons who have access to your home during 
your absence, is no longer possible. Without the holiday mode leaving 
the door closed would lead to the accumulation of odours and mould.
After emptying and cleaning the appliance, proceed as follows:
0 1.To set the holiday mode, press the „+“ (WARMER) or „-“ (COLDER) but-
ton. 
The temperature display will change and indicate in flashing numbers 
the DESIRED temperature that is currently set.
2.Press the „+“ (WARMER) button until the temperature display indicates 
H (for holiday). The temperature shown in the temperature display will 
change in steps of 1 °C until it reaches +8 °C. After +8 °C the value 
+15 °C will appear in the display with the letter H. The fridge is now 
operating in energy-saving holiday mode.
3 To switch the fridge back to normal operation, press the „-“ (COLDER) 
button.
Important! Do not store any goods in the refrigerator when the holiday 
mode is in operation. The temperature is regulated at about +15 °C 
when the holiday mode is in operation. This is too warm for food pro-
ducts.

Control and Information Systems
The control and information systems consist of a temperature display, 
an optical warning indicator light and an acoustic warning.
The system warns if:
– when first switching on the appliance (when the storage temperature 
has not yet been attained);
– when the appliance doors are open 
– the temperature in the refrigerator or freezer compartment is too 
high;
– functional disturbances at the appliance.
Open Door-Warning 
If the fridge or freezer door is left open the red warning indicator light 
will flash and an acoustic warning tone will sound
– after approx. 80 seconds if the freezer door is left open 
– after approx. 5 minutes if the fridge door is left open
If you need more time to load or rearrange refrigerated or frozen foods, 
you can switch off the warning tone by pressing the ALARM OFF but-
ton. 
If the doors are still left open the warning tone will sound again at the 
end of the appropriate period of time. 
The red warning indicator light will go off when the doors are closed.
Temperature Warning
For the fridge:
The red warning indicator light flashes and a warning tone sounds as 
soon as the temperature in the fridge rises to more than +11 °C.
0 1.You can switch off the warning tone using the ALARM OFF button. 
3 The warning indicator light and warning tone switch themselves off 
automatically when the temperature in the fridge drops to below 
+12 °C. 
 
						

							28818 36 23-02/7
For the freezer:
The red warning indicator light flashes and a warning tone sounds as 
soon as the temperature in the freezer rises to more than -12 °C. In 
addition the freezer temperature display flashes.
0 1.You can switch off the warning tone using the ALARM OFF button. 
The freezer temperature display stops flashing and displays the warm-
est temperature that has been reached in the freezer during the tem-
perature alarm. After approx. 5 seconds the temperature display reverts 
to the current freezer temperature.
3 The warning tone switches itself off automatically if the temperature in 
the freezer falls to lower than -11 °C. The red warning indicator light 
and the temperature display continue to flash. 
If the possibility of partial or complete thawing exists, you should 
check the quality of the foods.
A rise in temperature may be caused by:
– frequent door opening for long periods of time;
– loading with large quantities of warm foods;
– high ambient temperature;
– an error with the appliance.
Function Errors
If the electronics in the appliance detects a technical defect that has to 
be rectified by the customer, the temperature display indicates:
– a square or a letter in the temperature display of the fridge for a fault 
in the fridge,
– a square or a letter in the temperature display of the freezer for a 
fault in the freezer.
Opening the Freezer Compartment Door
If the freezer compartment door is closed when the appliance is in 
operation, it is possible that it cannot be immediately opened again. A 
vacuum occurs in the freezer compartment which holds the door closed 
until pressure has been equalised. The door can be opened again after 
several minutes.
