Starting Up - Setting the Temperature
1. Plug the mains plug into the mains socket. 
2. Press ON/OFF button. The green mains pilot indicator illuminates. The
appliances start.
3. Press either the „C“ or „E“ 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 „C“ or „E“ buttons (see section
Temperature setting buttons). The temperature display will immediately
show the changed setting. Each time the button is pressed the temperatu-
re 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 stora-
ge temperature within the fridge is reached quickly you can store food
immediately after switching on.
TURBOCOOLMATIC 
The TURBOCOOLMATIC function is suited for quick cooling of large quanti-
ties of goods in the refrigerator.
1. The TURBOCOOLMATIC function is switched on by pressing the TURBO-
COOLMATIC button. The yellow light illuminates.
The TURBOCOOLMATIC function now provides for intensive cooling. A DESI-
RED temperature of +3°C is automatically selected. The TURBOCOOLMATIC
function is ended automatically after a period of 6 hours. 
2. The TURBOCOOLMATIC function can be ended manually at any time by
pressing the TURBOCOOLMATIC button again. The yellow light goes out.

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 remo-
ved.
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.

LONGFRESH 0°C compartment
In the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment the temperature is controlled
automatically. It stays constantly at about 0°C, no adjustment is nec-
essary.
The constant storage temperature of about 0°C and the relative
humidity of between 45 and 90 % provide optimal conditions for the
various kinds of food.
You can therefore store a variety of fresh food in the LONGFRESH 0°C
compartment, where it will last up to 3 times longer with better qual-
ity compared to normal refrigerator compartments. 
This allows you to stock more fresh food. Taste, degree of freshness,
quality and nutritional values (vitamins and minerals) are well pre-
served. Loss of weight in vegetables and fruit diminishes. Food yields
a higher degree of nutritional value.
The LONGFRESH 0°C compartment is also suitable for defrosting food.
In this case the thawed food can be stored up to two days in the
LONGFRESH 0°C compartment.
Humidity control
Both drawers can be used
according to the desired stor-
age conditions independently
of each other with lower or
higher humidity. 
Regulation for each drawer is
separate and is controlled
using the slide valve at the
front of the drawer.
„Dry“: low air humidity - upto 50 % relative humidity
This humidity level is reached when both sliders are set into this
position  and the ventilation openings are wide open.
„Humid“: high relative humidity - up to 90%
This humidity level is reached when both sliders are set in this posi-
tion and the ventilation openings are closed. Humidity is kept
and can not escape. 
 
						

							15
Drawer divider
The wire shelves inside the draw-
ers permit that air can circulate
freely and consequently a better
conservation of foods.
The compartment has stops to
prevent the drawers from falling
out when fully extended.
To remove the drawers (e.g. for
cleaning purposes), pull them out
as far as the stops, lift and
extract..
Note: if large quantities of foods
are to be stored in the 0°C com-
partment, it is possible to remove
the bottom drawer.
 
						

							16
Correct storage
The refrigerator compartment is fitted with a fan. This quickly cools
food stuffs and ensuresoptimal distribution of the temperature
between the fridge and the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment.
The following can be conserved in the refrigeration compartment:
- beverages, preserves, jars, bottles;
- baked goods, prepared foods;
- products with short-term expiration;
- foods which are not suitable for conservation at the temperature of
the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment.
Tips:
Do not place warm foods or uncovered liquids in the refrigerator. 
Place foods in such a way that air can circulate freely and not place
plastic bags or similar components in contact with the plastic cov-
er grille situated in the fridge compartment. 
Keep butter and cheese in the special compartment to guarantee
their consistency and aroma. 
Foods, and especially salad, must be kept in the refrigeration com-
partment well covered or packaged in such a way that they do not
dry out and that their flavours and fragrances remain unchanged.
The following are suited for packaging:
– Polyethylene airtight bags and wraps;
– Plastic containers with lids;
– Special plastic covers with elastic;
– aluminium foil.
High-proof spirits should only be conserved tightly closed and in a
vertical position.
Do not keep explosive or flammable materials in the refrigerator.
Conserve in the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment all foods which are
suited to it.

Important! 
Not to be placed in the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment:
cold sensitive fruit which have to bestored at cellar or room tem-
perature like pineapple, bananas, grapefruit, melons, mango,
papaya, oranges, lemons, kiwi fruit.
The types of food not mentioned above should be stored in the
refrigerator compartment (e.g. all sorts of cheese, cold cuts, etc.).
Thelevel of air humidity in the drawers depends on the content of
humidity in the stored food, vegetable and fruit and on the frequen-
cy of door opening 
The LONGFRESH 0°C compartment is also suitable for slow thawing of
food. In this case the thawed food can be stored in the LONGFRESH
0°C compartment for up to two days.
Tips:
Pay attention to thefreshness of the food, especially on the expiry
date. Quality and freshness influence thestorage time.
The whole storage cycle time will depend on the preservation con-
ditions made prior to the final storage in the fridge.
Food, fruit or vegetables should always be packed or wrapped up
before storage.
Animal food always store packed and dry.
Food rich in proteins will go bad quicker. This means seafood will
spoil before fish which in turn will spoil before meat. While storing
foodin a 0°C compartment storage time for that kind of food can
be increased by up tothree times as well without loss on quality.
All food stored in a 0°C compartment should be taken out of the
drawersroughly 15-30 min before consumption, particularly fruit
and vegetablesto be consumed without any additional cooking
process. Allowing fruit and vegetables to return to room tempera-
ture will improve the texture and flavour.
