From the plastic cover (E), which is
used to cover the hinge with the
pivot pin, you must take away the
part as indicated in the drawing.
This operation is made easer since
there is, in the internal part of the
cover hinge lid a groove that facila-
tes the removal of this coomponent.

Prior to Initial Start–Up
 Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial start-
up (see section: “Cleaning and Care”).
Electrical connection
Before initial start-up, refer to the appliance rating plate to ascertain if sup-
ply voltage and current values correspond with those of the mains at the
installation location.
e.g.:  AC 220 ... 240 V 50 Hz or
220 ... 240 V~ 50 Hz
(i.e. 220 to 240 volts alternating current, 50 Hertz)
The rating plate is inside the appliance on the left.
A correctly installed, earthed socket is required for the electrical supply. The
supply must have a fuse rating of at least 10 Amps.
If the socket is not accessible once the appliance is built in, the electrical
installation must include suitable means of isolating the appliance from the
mains (e.g. fuse, cut-out, current trip or similar with a minimum contact
separation of 3 mm).
Attention: The mains connection cable may only be replaced by a skilled
electrician. Please contact your dealer or our customer service department
for repairs.
Starting up and temperature regulation
 Insert the plug into the plug socket. With the refrigerator compartment
door open, the internal lighting is switched on. The temperature selector
knob is located on the RH side of the refrigerator compartment.
Setting „0“ means:Off.
Setting „1“ means: Hightest temperature, (warmest setting).
Setting „6“ (end-stop) means:Lowest temperature, (coldest setting). 
However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in the mind that the
temperature inside the refrigerator depends on:
-the quantity of food stored
-how often the door is opened
The temperatures in the refrigerator compartment and freezer co partment
cannot be independently regulated.
If you want the freeze fresh food rapidly, select setting „6“, ensuring that
the temperature in the refrigerator compartment does not drop blow 0°C. You
 
						

							Variable storage box
Some models are equipped with a
variable storage box which is fitted
under a door shelf compartment and
can be slid sideways. 
The box can be inserted under any
door shelf compartment.
1. To change the position of the stora-
ge box; lift the shelf compartment
with the box upwards and out of the
holders in the door and remove the
retaining bracket out of the guide
under the shelf compartment.
2. Reverse the above operation to insert the shelf at a different height..

Interior Accessories
Storage Shelves
The glass shelf above the fruit and
vegetable compartment should always
remain in position, to ensure fruit and
vegetables stay fresh longer.
The remaining storage shelves can be
adjusted to various heights:
Pull the storage shelf forward until it can
be tipped up or down and removed.
To insert at a different height use the same procedure in reverse.
Adjustment for tall goods:
Remove the front half of the two-part vario glass storage shelf and insert it
at a different level. Space is thus gained for storage of tall goods on the
underlying storage shelf.
Variable Inner Door
The door compartments can be pulled up and removed, and inserted at
other positions as needed.


should also promptly reset the temperature regulator to setting „3“ or „4“.
Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting on
the temperature regulator (position5 to 6) can cause the compressor to
run continuously.
If this happens, turn the temperature regulator back to a warmer setting
(position 3 to 4). At this setting the compressor will be switched on and
off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced.

Freezing and storing frozen food
You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself.
Important!
 The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18 °C or colder
before freezing food.
 Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The free-
zing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be frozen
within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food several days in a
row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4 of that on the
rating plate. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen
right through to the core as quickly as possible.
 Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause
increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
 Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufacturer.
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.
 
						

							39
 Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals)
may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
 Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures.
There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flamma-
ble materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill car-
tridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.
 Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst when
the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even explode!
Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc. in the free-
zer. Exception: high alcohol content spirits can be stored in the freezer.
 All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not
dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of
other frozen goods occurs.
Caution!Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could free-
ze to the food.
1. Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the frozen
food could begin to defrost. 
2. To achieve faster freezing of food or to freeze the maximum allowed quan-
tity, turn the thermostat setting to the highest position.
Preparation of Ice Cubes
1.  Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer com-
partment and leave to freeze.
2. To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend the ice cube tray or hold it under
running water for a few seconds.
Important!Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer com-
partment using pointed or sharp edged objects.
Freezing Calendar
 The symbols show different types of frozen goods.
 The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types
of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated stora-
ge time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating befo-
re freezing. The lower value applies to foods with high fat content.

Defrosting
Refrigerator
Frost is automatically removed from the evaporator of the refrigerator com-
partment every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use. The
defrost water drains out through a trough into a special container at the
back of the appliance, located over the motor compressor, where it evapo-
rates.
Freezer
The freezer compartment, however, will become progressively covered with
frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided,
whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm. During this operation it
is not necessary to switch off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs. 
However when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete
defrosting should be carried out as follows:
1. Remove the frozen food from the freezer, wrap it in several layers of new-
spaper and put it in a very cool place.
2. Switch off the appliance and pull out the plug, or turn the temperature
control knob to “0”.
3. Leave the freezer compartment door open.
4. Insert the plastic scraper into the
recess provided under the defrost
water channel and place a collecting
basin under it.
5. Once defrosting is completed keep
the scraper handy for future use;
6. Turn the thermostat knob to the
required setting or replace the plug
in the power socket.
Warning!
Never use metal tools to scrape off
the frost 
Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the
thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during defrosting, may shor-
ten their safe storage life.
