around the appliance to ensure free air
circulation.
Fit the two plastic wall spacers supplied with
the appliance rotating 1/4 turn to the condenser
at the back of the appliance (Fig. 3).

surface. The two front feet can be adjusted as
required. To ensure that your appliance is

5. Prior to startup
Before you start operating your appliance, the
following points should be re-checked for
safety:
• Is the appliance standing level on the floor?
• Is there suf

ficient space for good air
  circulation?
• Is the interior clean? (Also see the section
 ‘Cleaning and care’)
•  Set the thermostat knob half way between
1 and Max.
• Now connect the appliance to the mains.
Do not place foodstuff into the appliance until
the temperature has reached the desired level.

41 = Lowest cooling setting (Warmest setting)
MAX. = Highest cooling setting (Coldest and
fast freeze option setting)
Please choose the setting according to the
desired temperature.
The interior temperature also depends on
ambient temperature, the frequency with which
the door is opened and the amount of foods
kept inside.
Frequently opening the door causes the interior
temperature to rise.
For this reason, it is recommended to close
the door again as soon as possible after use.
The normal storage temperature of your
appliance should be -18 °C (0 °F). Lower
temperatures can be obtained by adjusting
the thermostat knob towards Position MAX.
W

e recommend checking the temperature
with a thermometer to ensure that the storage
compartments are kept to the desired
temperature. Remember to take the reading
immediately since the thermometer
temperature will rise very rapidly after you
remove it from the freezer. Setting the operating
temperature
(Fig. 2)
The operating temperature is regulated by the
temperature control.

Freezing
Freezing food
The freezing compartment is marked with
 this symbol.
Y

ou can use the appliance for freezing fresh
food as well as for storing pre-frozen food.
Please refer to the recommendations given
on the packaging of your food.  Attention
Do not freeze fizzy drinks, as the bottle may
burst when the liquid in it is frozen.
Be careful with frozen products such as
coloured ice-cubes.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your
appliance in 24 hours. See the rating label.
In order to maintain the quality of the food, the
freezing must be ef

fected as rapidly as possible.
Thus, the freezing capacity will not be
exceeded, and the temperature inside the
freezer will not rise.  Attention
Keep the already deep-frozen food always
separated with freshly placed food.
When deep-freezing hot food, the cooling
compressor will work until the food is completely
frozen. 

This can temporarily cause excessive
cooling of the refrigeration compartment.
If you find the freezer door difficult to open just
after you have closed it, don’t worry. This is
due to the pressure difference which will
equalize and allow the door to open normally
after a few minutes.
You will hear a vacuum sound just after closing
the door. This is quite normal.
Do not close air flow channels while loading. 5 Making ice cubes
Fill the ice-cube tray 3/4 full with water and
place it in the freezer

.
As soon as the water has turned into ice, you
can take out the ice cubes.
Never use sharp objects such as knives or
forks to remove the ice cubes. There is a risk
of injury!
Let the ice cubes slightly thaw instead, or put
the bottom of the tray in hot water for a short
moment.
(Fig. 4)
Fast freeze
If large amounts of fresh food are going to be
frozen, adjust the control knob to max. 24
hours before putting the fresh food in the fast
freeze compartment.
It is strongly recommended to keep the knob
at max position at  least 24 hours to freeze
maximum amount of fresh food declared as
freezing capacity. Take special care not to mix
frozen food and fresh food.
Remember to turn the thermostat knob  back to
its previous position once food has frozen.
Defrosting of the appliance
The appliance defrosts automatically.
