Safety
31
¥ Please make old appliances unusable prior to disposal. Pull out themains plug, cut off the mains cable, break or remove spring or bolt
catches, if fitted. By doing this you ensure that children cannot lock
themselves in the appliance when playing (there is risk of suffoca-
tion!) or get themselves into other dangerous situations.
¥ Often children cannot recognise the hazards present in household appliances. It is therefore important that you ensure adequate super-
vision and never let children play with the appliance!

Daily Operation

¥ Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low tempera-tures. There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers
with flammable materials such as spray cans, fire extinguisher refill
cartridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.
¥ Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer compartment. 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 freezer compartment.
¥ Do not place ice cream or ice cubes in the mouth immediately after removal from the freezer compartment. Very cold ice can freeze to
the lips or tongue and cause injury.
¥ Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze to the food.
¥

Warning 
- Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigera-
tor/freezer (e.g. electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.).
¥

Warning 
- In order not to impair the function of the appliance,
never cover or obstruct the ventilation openings.
¥

Warning 
- Do not damage the cooling circuit.
¥

Warning 
- Do not use any mechanical devices or other artificial
means to speed up defrosting unless they are recommended by the
manufacturer.
¥ Before cleaning the appliance, always switch off the appliance and unplug it, or disconnect from the electricity supply.
¥ When unplugging always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.

appliance needs repairing, please contact your specialist dealer or
our Customer Service.

Disposal
Appliance Packaging Information

All materials are environmentally sound! They can be disposed of or
burned at an incinerating plant without danger.
About the materials: The plastics can be recycled and are identified as
follows:
>PE< for polyethylene, e.g. the outer covering and the bags in the
interior.
>PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g. the pads, which are all free of chloro-
fluorocarbon.
The carton parts are made from recycled paper and should be disposed
of at a waste-paper recycling collection location.

Disposal of old Appliances

For environmental reasons, refrigeration appliances must be disposed
of properly. This applies to your old appliance, and - at the end of its
service life - for your new appliance as well.

Warning!
Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable.
Remove plug from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any
snap or latch closures. This ensures that playing children do not lock
themselves inside the appliance (danger of suffocation!) or place
themselves into other life-endangering situations.

Disposal:

¥ The appliance may not be disposed of with domestic waste or bulky refuse.
¥ The refrigerant circuit, especially the heat exchanger at the back of the appliance, must not be damaged.
¥ The symbol  on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall
be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of

Installation
Installation Location

The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room.
Energy use and efficient performance of the appliance is affected by
the ambient temperature.
The appliance should therefore
Ð not be exposed to direct sunlight;
Ð not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat;
Ð only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature
corresponds to the climate classification, for which the appliance is
designed.
The climate classification can be found on the rating plate, which is
located at the left on the inside of the appliance.
The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for
each climate classification:
quences for the environment and human health, which could other-
wise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this product. For
more detailed information about recycling of this product, please
contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service
or the shop where you purchased the product.

Installation
34
Installation directly under a hob is not allowed. The temperatures of
the hob, which in part are quite high, may damage the appliance. 
If a hob is installed near the appliance, the corresponding installation
and safety instructions must be adhered to. Considering the numerous
installation conditions which are possible, there is no way of providing
detailed information here. 
It is necessary to avoid overheating of the appliance by maintaining
adequate distances from heat sources and by the use of a suitable
thermal insulation plate. Proper ventilation of the appliance must also
be ensured.

Your refrigerator needs ventilation
Integratable models (i-appliances)

The integrated door of the furniture cabi-
net largely seals the installation recess. i-
appliances must therefore be provided
with ventilation by having an opening in
the furniture plinth. The warmed air must
be able to be exhausted upwards through
the air shaft on the furniture back.
The ventilation cross-sections should be at
least 200 cm
2.

Warning
- To ensure the appliance func-
tions correctly, never cover or obstruct the
ventilation openings.

See installation instructions supplied.
Please check whether, after installing your appliance and especially
after reversing the door, the door seal seals right round. A badly fitting
door seal may lead to heavy frosting and thereby to a higher power
consumption (see also ãWhat to do if...Ò).

Electrical connection

A correctly installed, earthed socket is required for the electrical sup-
ply. 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. a fused spur).
Before initial start-up, refer to the appliance rating plate to ascertain
if supply voltage and current values correspond with those of the
mains at the installation location.
e.g.: AC 220 ... 240 V 50 Hz or220 ... 240 V ~50 Hz
(i.e. 220 to 240 volts alternating current, 50 Hertz)
The rating plate is inside the appliance on the left.

¥ 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, ã+Ò or ã-Ò.
¥ With each further press of one of the two buttons, the DESIRED temperature 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 is required in the refrigerator, this can be adjust-

ed to the temperatures shown in the display. The DESIRED temperature
is indicated by flashing numbers. 
ACTUAL temperature means:
The temperature display indicates the temperature that is currently
present in the refrigerator. The ACTUAL temperature is indicated by
continuously illuminated numbers.

Temperature Display

The temperature display can indicate several pieces of 
information.
¥ During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the refrigerator (ACTUAL temperature) is displayed.
¥ When the temperature is being adjusted, the temperature currently set flashes (DESIRED temperature).

Prior to Initial StartÐUp

Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial\
start-up (see section: ÒCleaning and CareÓ).

39

Note:
From a food safety point of view, +5¡C for the refrigerator com-
partment and -18¡C for the freezer compartment should be con-
sidered cold enough as a storage temperature.

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.
The compressor will start and then run automatically.

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 immediately after switching on.

Important!
Wait until the freezer compartment has reached a tempe-
rature of Ð18¡C, before storing frozen food.
