Energy Saving Tips•  Do  not  install  the  appliance  near  cookers,  radiators  or  other  sources  of
warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent opera-
tion 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.
•  Put  frozen  food  in  the  fridge  to  defrost.  The  cold  in  the  frozen  food  will
then be used to cool the fridge.
•  Keep  the  heat  emitting  condenser,  the  metall  grille  on  the  rear  wall  of
your appliance, always clean.
2. Defrost  the  freezer  compartment  prior  to  cleaning  (see  "Defrosting"  sec-
tion).
3. Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off
or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.
4. Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm
water. Commercially available dish washing detergents may also be used.
5. After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry.
Accumulation  of  dust  at  the  condenser  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. Check  the  water  drain  hole  on  the  rear  wall  of  the  fridge.  Clear  a  blocked
drain hole with the aid of the green peg in the pack of accessories included
with the appliance.
7. After everything is dry place appliance back into service.

44Defrosting
RefrigeratorFrost  is  automatically  eliminated  from  the  evaporator  of  the  refrigerator
compartment 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, over the motor compressor, where it evaporates.
We  particulary  recommend  that  you  peridically  clean  the  defrost-water
drainage outlet, located in the center of the drainage groove in the refrige-
rator  compartment,  to  prevent  the  defrost  water  form  overflowing  on  to
foods stored in the compartment.
Use a special cleaner provided, which you will find already inserted into the
discharge hole.FreezerThe inner walls of the freezer are automatically defrosted
Preparation of Ice Cubes1.  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. Use the ice scraper supplied.Freezing Calendar
• The symbols on the drawers 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  storage  time  is  valid
depends  on  the  quality  of  the
foods  and  pre-treating  before
freezing. The lower value applies to
foods with high fat content.

DisposalAppliance Packaging Information
All materials are environmentally sound! They can be dumped or burned at
an incinerating plant without danger!
About the materials: The plastics can be recycled and are identified as fol-
lows:
>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 chlorofluo-
rocarbon.
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. Remo-
ve plug from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any snap or
latch closures. This eliminates the danger that playing children lock them-
selves into 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 refu-
se.
•  The  refrigerant  circuit,  especially  the  heat  exchanger  at  the  back  of  the
appliance, may 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 han-
ded over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical
and  electronic  equipment.  By  ensuring  this  product  is  disposed  of  cor-
rectly,  you  will  help  prevent  potential  negative  consequences  for  the
environment  and  human  health,  which  could  otherwise  be  caused  by
inappropriate  waste  handling  of  this  product.  For  more  detailed  infor-
mation  about  recycling  of  this  product,  please  contact  your  local  city
office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you pur-
chased the product.
Remove transport safeguard
The appliance and the interior fittings are protected for transport.
• Pull off the adhesive tape on the left and right side of the door.
•  Remove  all  adhesive  tape  and  packing  pieces  from  the  interior  of  the
appliance.
43
• Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufacturer.
• 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.
To garantee a good operation of the appliance during normally use, please
do not take out the drawers.
1. Place  the  packed  food  in  the  drawers.  Place  food  to  be  frozen  in  the  middle
drawer equipped with its own refrigerating unit. Unfrozen food must not tou-
ch items already frozen, otherwise the frozen food could begin to defrost. 
2. When  frezzing  fresh  food,  depress  theambient  temperature  switch  (A)  24
hours  before  loading  the  food  without  modifying  the  thermostat  setting.
The pilot light will come on. At the end of the freezing process, do not for-
get to depress again the ambient switch in order to avoid an increase of the
power consumption.
3. Place frozen foods in the drawers sorted by type, as far as possible.
Ice pack
There could be one or more ice packs in one drawer of the freezer.
In  the  event  of  a  power  failure  or  malfunction,  the  ice  pack  will  lengthen
the  amount  of  time  it  takes  for  the  frozen  food  to  become  too  warm  by
several hours. The ice pack can only fulfil this task optimally if it is placed in

InstallationInstallation Location
The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room.
Energy  use  is  affected  by  the  ambient  temperature.  The  appliance  should
therefore
– not be exposed to direct sunlight;
– not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat;
– 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 serial 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: each climate classification:
Climate classification
for an ambient temperature of
SN
+10 bis +32 °C
N
+16 bis +32 °C
ST
+18 bis +38 °C
T
+18 bis +43 °C
If  installation  next  to  a  source  of  heat  is  unavoidable,  the  following  mini-
mum clearances must be maintained at the sides of the appliance:
– for electric cookers 3 cm;
– for oil and coal fired ranges 30 cm.
If  these  clearances  cannot  be  maintained  a  heat  insulating  pad  is  required
between the cooker and the refrigeration appliance.
If the refrigeration appliance is installed next to another refrigerator or free-
zer a clearance of 5 cm at the sides is required, in order to prevent the for-
mation of condensation on the outside of the appliance.


Shelf holdersYour appliance is equipped with shelf
retainers  that  make  it  possible  to
secure the shelves during transporta-
tion. To remove them proceed as fol-
lows: 
Raise the shelf from the back, push it
in  the  direction  of  the  arrow  until  it
is freed and remove the retainers.
42Freezing 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.
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.

Rehingeing the door
The side at which the door opens can be changed from the right side (fac-
tory adjustment) to the left side, if the installation site requires.
Warning!When changing the side at which the door opens, the appliance
may  not  be  connected  to  the  mains.  Remove  plug  from  the  mains  befo-
rehand.
1. Unscrew the upper pin and remo-
ve the spacer
2. Remove the upper door
3.Remove the hinge cover (A).Unscrew the pins (B) and the spa-
cers  (C)  and  refit  them  on  the
middle hinge of the opposite side.

Moisture regulator
There is an adjustable air grille in front of the shelf above the fruit and vege-
table compartments. 
The opening in the ventilation slots can be adjusted with the slider.
Right slider: Ventilation slots opened.
With the ventilation slots open, more
air  circulation  results  in  a  lower  air
moisture  content  in  the  fruit  and
vegetable compartments.
Left slider: Ventilation slots closed. 
When the ventilation slots are closed,
the  natural  moisture  content  of  the
food in the fruit and vegetable com-
partments is preserved for longer.
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.
