The refrigerator/freezer needs ventilation
Air is fed under the door through the 
vent slots in the base and is exhausted 
upwards along the back wall. To ensure 
proper air circulation never cover or 
alter the vent openings.
Important!  If the appliance is installed 
under a hanging cabinet, a clearance of 
at least 10 cm between the top of the 
appliance and the cabinet above it must 
be maintained.
Please check whether, after installing 
your appliance and especially after 
reversing the door, the door seal seals 
tightly. A badly fitting door seal may 
lead to heavy frosting and a higher 
power consumption (see also What to 
do if ...“).
Appliance Alignment
The appliance must be level. 
0 1.Please level out unevennesses in the 
floor by screwing the two adjustable 
front feet in or out using the 13 mm 
spanner supplied. To do this remove 
the plinth panel (see chapter 
“Transporting the appliance“)

Freezer tray 
A freezer tray  is included below the 
upper drawer in the freezer 
compartment.
Berries and vegetables, for example, 
can be pre-frozen on the freezer tray.
Advantage: The berries are not squeezed and maintain their natural 
form. The frozen berries can then be stored in compartments or drawers 
packaged in individual portions. 
Cold Accumulation Block
A cold accumulation block is enclosed with the appliance.
3 In the event of power failure or a malfunction of the appliance, the 
cold accumulation block will increase the hold over period by several 
hours. The cold accumulation block will be most effective when placed 
at the front of the upper freezer tray. 
When defrosting the appliance place the cold accumulation block on 
top of the frozen food to keep it cold. 
The block may also be used in a cool bag to keep the temperature of 
food down during transportation.
Refer to the section Prior to Initial Start-Up regarding the freezing of 
the cold accumulation block.

Temperature setting buttons
The temperature is adjusted using the 
„+“ (WARMER) and „-“ (COLDER) buttons.
These buttons are connected to the temperature display.
 The temperature display is switched over from the display of the 
ACTUAL temperature (Temperature display is illuminated) to the dis-
play of the DESIRED temperature (Temperature display flashes) by 
pressing one of the two buttons, „+“ (WARMER) or „-“ (COLDER). 
 Each time one of the two buttons is pressed again the DESIRED tem-
perature is adjusted by 1 °C.
 If neither button is pressed, the temperature display automatically 
switches back after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) to the display of 
the ACTUAL temperature.
DESIRED temperature means: 
The temperature that has been selected for inside the fridge or the 
freezer compartment. The DESIRED temperature is indicated by flashing 
numbers.
ACTUAL temperature means: 
The temperature display indicates the current temperature inside the 
fridge or the freezer compartment. The ACTUAL temperature is indi-
cated with static illuminated numbers.
3 Once the COOLMATIC- or the FROSTMATIC function has been switched 
on the DESIRED temperature that was set originally for the fridge or 
the freezer cannot be changed.
 
Temperature Displays
The temperature displays shows several 
types of information.
 During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the 
fridge or the freezer compartment (ACTUAL temperature) is displayed. 
 When the temperature is being adjusted a flashing display indicates 
the fridge or the freezer compartment temperature currently set 
(DESIRED temperature). 
 If there is a fault in the appliance the temperature display shows:
– 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.
