Placement
The ambient temperature has an effect on the energy consumption and
proper operation of the appliance.
When placing, take into consideration that it is practical to operate the
appliance between ambient temperature limits according to the climate class
that is given in the chart below and can be found in the data label.
If the ambient temperature goes below the lower data the temperature of the
cooling compartment can go beyond
the prescribed temperature.
If the ambient temperature goes
beyond the upper data this means
longer operating time of the com-
pressor, breakdown in the automatic
defrosting increasing temperature in
the cooling compartment or increas-
ing energy consumption.
In the bag of the accessories there
are two spacers which must be fit-
ted in the two top corners.
Slacken the screws and insert the
spacer under the screw head, the
re-tighten the screws.
When placing the appliance ensure
that it stands level.
This can be achieved by two
adjustable feet at the bottom in
front.
Do not stand the appliance on a
sunny place or close to a radiator or
cooker.
Class of climate Ambient temperature
SN +10…+32°C
N +16…+32°C
ST +18…+38°C
 
						

							43 If it is unavoidable because of furnishing and the appliance has to be stood
near a cooker take these minimum distances into consideration:
In case of gas or electric cooker 3
cm must be left, when it is less
put a 0,5-1 cm non-flam insula-
tion between the two appliances.
In case of oil or coal-fired stove
the distance must be 30 cms
since they give off more heat.
The refrigerator is designed to oper-
ate when it is totally pushed to the
wall.
When placing the refrigerator keep
minimal distances recommended in
figure.
A:placing it under a wall-cupboard
B:placing it freely

Temperature setting buttons
The temperature is adjusted using the (B) and (D) 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 display of the
DESIRED temperature (Temperature display flashes) by pressing one of the
two buttons, (B) or (D).
Each time one of the two buttons is pressed again the DESIRED tempera-
ture is adjusted by 1 °C. The DESIRED temperature must be reached with-
in 24 hours.
If neither button is pressed, the temperature display automatically switches
back after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) to the display of the ACTUAL temper-
ature.
DESIRED temperature means:
The temperature that has been selected for inside the fridge. The DESIRED
temperature is indicated by flashing numbers.
ACTUAL temperature means:
The temperature display indicates the current temperature inside the fridge.
The ACTUAL temperature is indicated with illuminated numbers.
Temperature display
The temperature display can indicate several pieces of information in the
fridge (ACTUAL temperature) is displayed.
During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the fridge
(ACTUAL temperature) is displayed.
When the temperature is being adjusted a flashing display indicates the
fridge temperature currently set (DESIRED temperature).

Starting Up - Setting the Temperature
1. Plug the mains plug into the mains socket.
2. Press (A) button. The appliances start.
3. Press either the (B) or (D) button. The temperature display switches over and
the DESIRED temperature currently set flashes on the temperature display. 
4. Set the required temperature by pressing the (B) or (D) buttons (see section
Temperature setting buttons). The temperature display will immediately
show the changed setting. Each time the button is pressed the temperature is
adjusted by 1 °C.
From a food safety point of view +5 °C should be considered sufficiently cold
for storing food in the fridge.
5. Once the required temperature has been set, after a short period (approx. 5
sec.) the temperature display will change and again indicate the current
ACTUAL temperature inside the fridge. The display will change from flashing
to continuous illumination.
Information!When the setting is changed, the compressor does not start
immediately if automatic defrosting is currently taking place. As the storage
temperature within the fridge is reached quickly you can store food immedi-
ately after switching on.
COOLMATIC
The COOLMATIC function is suited for quick cooling of large quantities of
goods in the refrigerator.
1. The COOLMATIC function is switched on by pressing the COOLMATIC button
(F).
The yellow light (E) illuminates.
The COOLMATIC function now provides for intensive cooling. A DESIRED tem-
perature of +2 ?C is automatically selected. The COOLMATIC function is ended
automatically after a period of 6 hours.
2. The COOLMATIC function can be ended manually at any time by pressing the
COOLMATIC button again. The yellow light goes out.
Holiday function
The holiday function sets the temperature at +15°C. This function allows you
to keep the refrigerator shut and empty during a long holiday period (e.g. the
summer holidays) without the formation of a bad smell.
1. To turn on the holiday function, press button (B).
2. Press continuously button (B) until the letter H (Holiday) appears on the
temperature indicator. The temperature indicator can modify the displayed
temperature up to +8°C, 1° at a tim. 8°C will be followed by the letter H.
Now the refrigerator is in the holiday function in the energy-saving mode.
The fridge compartment must be empty with holiday function on.

Turning OFF the refrigeration compartment
To turn off the refrigerator press the button (B) several times until the sym-
bol OF appears in the temperature indicator (C). Press the button (B) again
for about 5 seconds. In the temperature indicator there is a count down i.e.
a backward counting from 3 to 1. When 1 appears the refrigerator is
turned off. The temperature indicator switches off.
How to ise the refrigerator
For adequate cooling developing interior air circulation is necessary. For this
reason you are asked not to cover the air circulation gaps behind the shelves
(e.g. with tray etc.).
Do not put hot food into the refrigerator. Allow it to reach room temper-
ature naturally. In this way the unnnecessary frost building up can be
avoided.
Foods can take over odours from each other. So it is essential to put foods
in closed dishes or wrap them in cellophane, aluminium foil, grease-proof
paper or cling film before placing them into the refrigerator. This way
foods will keep their moisture e.g. vegetables will not dry out after some
days.
Interior Accessories
Storage Shelves
Various glass storage shelves are
included with your appliance. The
height of the storage shelves can be
adjusted:
1. To do this pull the storage shelf for-
ward until it can be swivelled
upwards or downwards and
removed.
2. Please do the same in reverse to
insert the shelf at a different
height.

Storing in the refrigerator
When placing the different kinds of food take into consideration the sketch
below in figure:
1 Confectionery, ready-cooked
foods, foods in 
dishes, fresh meat, cold cuts,
drinks
2 Milk, dairy products, foods in
dishes
3 Fruits, vegetables, salads
4 Cheese, butter
5 Eggs
6 Yoghurt, sour cream
7 Small bottles, soft drinks
8 Big bottles, drinks
Storage time and temperature of foods
The storage time chart at the end of the instruction book gives information
about storage time.
The storage time can not be determined exactly in advance, as it depends on
the freshness and handling of the cooled food. That is why the storage time
made known is only informative.
If you do not want to use up deep-frozen foods bought immediately they can
be stored for about 1 day (until dissolving) in the refrigerator.
Drawer
The drawer is suitable for storing fruit
and vegetables.
There is a separator inside the drawer
that can be placed in different posi-
tion to allow for the subdivision best
suited to personal needs.
