Prior to Initial Start-Up
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 tran-
sported 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.
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 chapter
Installation before it is put into operation for the first time. Care should
be especially taken that the mains voltage and frequency available corre-
spond 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 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
1. Insert plug into mains socket.
2. Press and hold down the ON/OFF button. The temperature indicator and
the back lighting light up, the appliance starts up. An alarm sounds, TEM-
PERATURE appears in the display and the back lighting flashes in red.
3. Switch off alarm and red back lighting using RESET button. The TEMPE-
RATURE indicator goes out, if the temperature in the appliance has gone
below the warning temperature.
3 Temperature settings set in the factory: +5 °C for the fridge section, -18
°C for the freezer section.
4. Set the refrigerator to the desired temperature (see section: Tempera-
ture Adjustment).
Goods to be refrigerated can be loaded shortly after switching on, because
the storage temperature in the refrigerator is quickly reached.
 
						

							42
5. Set the freezer temperature to -18 °C or colder (see section: Tempera-
ture Adjustment).
Do not load freezer with goods until a temperature of -18 °C has been rea-
ched, 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 inde-
pendently of one another.
1. Press either the „+“ (WARMER) or „-“ (COLDER) button for the refriger-
ator or freezer compartment .
The temperature display switches over and the DESIRED temperature cur-
rently set flashes on the temperature display.

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:
+3 °C to +8 °C, (HOLIDAY: +14 °C )
Note: +5 °C for the refrigerator compartment and -18 °C for the freezer
compartment should be considered 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 refrigerator com-
partment. The display changes from flashing to illuminated numbers.

The indicators go out accordingly.
HOLIDAY
In the operating mode HOLIDAY (holiday setting) the desired temperature
value for the fridge section is +14 °C. In the holiday mode it is therefore pos-
sible to leave the door of the empty refrigerator closed during periods of
extended absence. Advantage: Unintentional closing of the door, or acci-
dental 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.

For 5 seconds the temperature display for the fridge section shows the war-
mest temperature that was reached in the fridge section during the tempe-
rature warning. After that the temperature display stops flashing and swit-
ches back to the current temperature in the fridge section. The TEMPERA-
TURE indicator continue to flash as long as there is a temperature warning.
For the freezer section:
An alarm sounds and the TEMPERATURE indicator and red back light flash,
as soon as the temperature in the freezer section rises above -11 °C. In addi-
tion the temperature display for the freezer section flashes.
If the temperature in the freezer section falls back below -11 °C, the alarm
automatically switches itself off. The TEMPERATURE indicator and the red
back lighting continue to flash.
1. You can turn off the alarm and the red back lighting using the RESET but-
ton.
For 5 seconds the temperature display for the freezer section shows the
warmest temperature that was reached in the freezer section during the
temperature warning. After that the temperature display stops flashing and
switches back to the current temperature in the freezer section. The TEM-
PERATURE indicator continues to flash, as long as there is a temperature
warning.
If there is an interruption to the power supply during an alarm, when the
appliance is reconnected to the supply, it starts with an acoustic and visual
alarm.
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.

Fresh food  refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
 do not store warm food or evaporating liquide in the refrigeator
 do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
 Position food so that air can circuiate freely round it.
Useful hints:
Meat(all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above
the vegetable drawer(s)For safety, store in this way only one or two days
at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc: these should be covered and may be placed
on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables:these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the
special drawer(s) provided.
Butter and cheese:these should be placed in special airtight containers or
wapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as pos-
sible.
Milk bootles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle
rack on the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in
the refrigerator.
