Bottle- and Can Holder
The side of the bottle- and can 
holder is moveable to enable a 
more flexible placement of cans 
and bottles in front of the grid. To 
alow the holder to be moved 
easier when moving sideways, 
press the shelf backwards.
The bottle support can be pulled 
out when chilling larger bottles.
Dismantling of the Bottle- and Can Holder
0 1.Take out the quick chill shelf with 
holder from the cabinet.
2.To loosen the holder from the 
shelf, bend the hooks/brackets 
that surround the backside of the 
shelf.
Bottle Holder
Some models are equipped with a 
bottle holder in the bottle compart-
ment. This is used to prevent 
individual bottles from falling over 
and can be slid sideways.
Opening the Door
If the door is closed when the appliance is in operation, it cannot be 
immediately opened again, because a vacuum occurs which holds the 
door closed until pressure has been equalised. The door can be opened 
again after several minutes.

Correct Storage
The cooling fan ensures an even tem-
perature distribution in the fridge. 
There is a max. temperature differ-
ence of 1 °C. Foods with different 
perishability can therefore be 
arranged on the shelves as you like, 
without having to take into account 
the different temperature zones 
which usually occur. The temperature 
in the fruit and vegetable drawer is 
around 3 - 4 °C higher than the 
fridge temperature set. The example 
arrangement opposite shows possible 
ways of storing food.
Tip: Food stored in the refrigerator 
compartment should always be 
covered or packed so that they do 
not dry out, lose their flavour, or 
transfer their flavour to any other 
refrigerated food. The following are 
suitable for packing:
– polyethylene bags;
– plastic containers with lids;
– special plastic covers with rubber retainers;
– aluminium foil.
Defrosting
The Refrigerator is defrosted automatically
The electronics start the defrosting cycle in the refrigerator every time 
the compressor stops.
The water collects in the discharge trough at the back wall of the 
refrigerator, and is fed through the discharge opening in the catch tray 
at the compressor where it is evaporated.

Cleaning and Maintenance
For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accesso-
ries, should be cleaned regularly.
1
 Warning! 
 The appliance may not be connected to the mains during cleaning. 
Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance off 
and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the 
circuit breaker or fuse.
 Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accu-
mulate in electrical components, danger of electrical shock! Hot 
vapours can lead to the damage of plastic parts.
 Do not use defrosting sprays, they can be hazardous to your health 
and/or contain substances that damage plastics.
 The appliance must be dry before it is placed back into service.
Attention!
 Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g.
– lemon juice or the juice from orange peals;
– butyric acid;
– cleansers which contain acetic acid.
Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance 
parts.
 Do not use any abrasive cleansers.
0 1.Remove the food from the refrigerator. Store it in a cool place, well 
covered.
2.Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or 
switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.
3.Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and luke-
warm water. Commercially available dish washing detergents may also 
be used.
4.After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry.
1 Important: Do not use cleaning agents for stainless steel or other 
aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents. The protective coat of lacquer 
on the stainless steel surface can be damaged by these.
The coat of lacquer protects against finger prints and therefore 
additional cleaning agents and maintenance products are no longer 
required.

5.Regularly unblock the condensation water drainage hole in the rear 
wall of the refrigeration chamber using a piece of flexible curtain wire.
2 Accumulation of dust at the condenser reduces cooling performance 
and increases energy consumption. For this reason carefully clean the 
condenser at the back of the appliance once a year with a soft brush or 
a vacuum cleaner.
6.After everything is dry place appliance back into service. 
Change of the carbon filter
To maintain the best performance 
the carbon filter should be chan-
ged once a year with normal 
usage. 
New carbon filters can be purcha-
sed from your local dealer.
0 1.The filter is placed behind the grill 
and can be reached by opening 
the cover. The cover can be ope-
ned by simultaneously pressing 
the lever on the right of the grill 
(1) and turning the cover outward 
(2). 
2.The carbon filter is then pulled 
out of its slot (3).
3.The new carbon filter is placed in 
the existing slot.
1 The filter should be handled care-
fully so fragments don´t loosen 
from the surface.

2 Energy Saving Tips
 Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources 
of warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent 
operation of the compressor.
 Ensure sufficient air circulation and exhaust at the appliance base 
and at the back wall of the appliance. Never cover air vent openings.
 Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm foods to 
cool first.
 Only leave door open as long as necessary.
 Do not set temperature any colder than necessary.
 Always keep the condenser at the back of the appliance clean.

The following noises are characteristic of refrigeration appliances:
Clicks
Whenever the compressor switches on or off, a click can be heard.
Humming
As soon as the compressor is in operation, you can hear it humming.
Bubbling/Splashing
When refrigerant flows into thin tubes, you can hear bubbling or 
splashing noises. Even after the compressor has been switched off, 
this noise can be heard for a short time.

Technical Terminology
Refrigerant
Liquids that can be used to a generate a cooling effect are known as 
refrigerants. They have a relatively low boiling-point, indeed so low, 
that the warmth from the food stored in the fridge or freezer can 
cause the refrigerant to boil and vaporise.
Refrigerant Circuit
Closed circulation system that contains the refrigerant. The 
refrigerant circuit comprises primarily of an evaporator, a compressor, 
a condenser and pipe work.
Evaporator
The refrigerant is evaporated in the evaporator. Similar to all other 
liquids, refrigerant requires heat to evaporate. This heat is removed 
from the interior of the appliance, as a result the interior is cooled. 
The evaporator is therefore located inside the appliance or placed in 
foam immediately behind the inner wall and thus not visible.
Compressor
The compressor looks like a small drum. It is driven by a built-in 
electric motor and is mounted on the base of the appliance at the 
rear. The task of the compressor is to draw in vaporised refrigerant 
from the evaporator, to compress it, and to pass it on to the 
condenser.
Condenser
The condenser normally has the form of a grid. The refrigerant 
compressed in the compressor is liquefied in the condenser. During 
this process, heat is released to the surrounding air at the surface of 
the condenser. The condenser is mounted on the base of the 
appliance.
