Prior to Initial Start–Up
Before connecting the appliance to the mains and putting it into
1
operation for the first time, leave the appliance to stand for 30 minutes
if was transported upright. After transport on its side, the appliance
must be left to stand for 2 hours before putting it into operation. This is
necessary to allow the refrigerant to flow back into the compressor.
Otherwise the compressor may be damaged.
0 1. Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial
start-up (see section: “Maintenance and Cleaning”).
2. The appliance must be correctly installed in accordance with the chap-
ter "Installation" before it is put into operation for the first time. Care
should be especially taken that the mains voltage and frequency avail-
able correspond with the appliance’s rating plate.
Initial Start-Up
0 1. Insert plug into mains socket.
2. Press ON/OFF button.
The compressor starts and then runs automatically.
3. Set temperature to +5 °C or colder (see section: "Temperature Adjust-
ment").
Goods to be refrigerated can be loaded immediately after switching on,
because the storage temperature in the refrigerator is quickly reached.
3
Temperature Adjustment
With the buttons for temperature adjustment the desired temperatures
in the refrigerator can be adjusted.
0 1. Press either the „+“ (WARMER) or „-“ (COLDER) button.
The temperature display switches over and the DESIRED temperature
currently set flashes on the temperature display.
2. To adjust to a warmer temperature, press the „+“ (WARMER) button. To
adjust to a colder temperature, press the „-“ (COLDER) button. The
changed setting is immediately displayed on the temperature display.
Each time the button is pressed the temperature is adjusted by 1 °C.
Adjustable temperature range: +2 °C to +8 °C, +15 °C (Holiday mode)

Note: From a food safety point of view, +5 °C for the refrigerator
compartment should be considered cold enough as a storage
temperature.
When the buttons are not further pressed after an adjustment has been
made, after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) the temperature display swit-
ches over and again displays the ACTUAL temperature in the refrigera-
tor. The display changes from flashing to illuminated numbers.
3
Information! When the setting is changed, the compressor does not
start immediately if automatic defrosting is currently taking place.
Switching the Appliance off
0 1. To switch off, push and hold the ON/OFF button for approx. 5 seconds.
This will result in a countdown from "3" to "1" taking place in the tem-
perature display. On reaching "1" the fridge will switch off. The temper-
ature display will go off.
The appliance is only completely disconnected from the electricity
supply when the power plug has been removed from the power outlet.
3
Note:
The appliance cannot be switched on or off if unplugged, or if there is
no power being supplied to it.
Following connection to the mains power supply, the appliance returns
to the same operating state as before the interruption of main power.
If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period:
0 1. Switch off the appliance, to do this press the ON/OFF button (see
above).
2. Remove the mains plug.
3. Clean the appliance thoroughly (see section: "Maintenance and Clean-
ing").
4. Leave door open to avoid accumulation of odours.

Holiday Mode
In the holiday mode the temperature for the refrigerator is approxi-
mately +15 °C. In the holiday mode it is therefore possible to leave the
door of the empty refrigerator closed during periods of extended
absence. Advantage: Unintentional closing of the door, or accidental
closing of the door by persons who have access to your home during
your absence, is no longer possible. Without the holiday mode leaving
the door closed would lead to the accumulation of odours and mould.
After emptying and cleaning the appliance, proceed as follows:
0 1. To set the holiday mode, press the „+“ (WARMER) or „-“ (COLDER) but-
ton.
The temperature display will change and indicate in flashing numbers
the DESIRED temperature that is currently set.
2. Hold down the „+“ (WARMER) button until the temperature display
indicates H (for holiday). The temperature shown in the temperature
display will change in steps of 1 °C until it reaches +8 °C. After +8 °C
the value +15 °C will appear in the display with the letter H. The fridge
is now operating in energy-saving holiday mode.
To switch the fridge back to normal operation, press the „-“ (COLDER)
button.
3
Important! Do not store any goods in the refrigerator when the holiday
mode is in operation. The temperature is regulated at about +15 °C
when the holiday mode is in operation. This is too warm for food pro-
ducts.
Opening the Door
If the door is closed when the appliance is in operation, it cannot be
immediately opened again, because a vacuum occurs which holds the
door closed until pressure has been equalised. The door can be opened

Control and Information Systems
The control and information systems consist of the temperature display,
an optical warning display and an acoustic warning.
The system warns if:
– if the appliance door remains open for longer than 5 minutes;
– if the temperature in the fridge compartment is too warm;
– functional errors at the appliance.
"Open Door" Warning
If the fridge door is left open for longer than 5 minutes the red warn-
ing display will flash and an acoustic warning tone will sound.
If you need more time to load or rearrange refrigerated foods, you can
switch off the warning tone by pressing the ALARM OFF button.
The red warning display will go off when the door is closed.
Temperature warning
The red warning light flashes and a warning tone sounds, as soon as the
temperature in the refrigerator is warmer than 12 °C. Such a rise in
temperature can possibly be put down to:
– opening the door a lot or leaving it open for a long time;
– storing larger quantities of warm food;
– a fault with the appliance.
You can turn off the warning tone using the ALARM OFF button.
The warning light and the warning tone switch off automatically,
when the ACTUAL temperature existing in the refrigerator drops below
12 °C again.
Function Errors
If the appliance electronics detects a technical fault that needs to be
rectified by customer service, the temperature display shows a square in
the upper part of the temperature display. The red warning indicator
flashes. The appliance will continue to operate in emergency mode.

Proper Storage
The cooling fan ensures an even tem-
perature distribution in the fridge.
There is a max. temperature differ-
ence of 1 °C. Foods with different
lengths of storage time can therefore
be arranged on the shelves as you
like, without having to take into
account the different temperature
zones which usually occur. The tem-
perature in the fruit and vegetable
drawer is around 3 - 4 °C higher than
the fridge temperature set. The
example arrangement opposite
shows possible ways of storing food.
The shelf immediately above the fruit
and vegetable tray should be 5 °C for
safe storage of meat and fish
products. In order to check that the
appliance is at 5 °C on the lowest
shelf you can carry out the following
test yourself:
0 1. Place a cup of water in the centre of the said shelf with a thermometer
inside.
2. Leave the fridge door closed overnight and check the temperature first
thing in the morning.
3. At this point the temperature should read no more than 5 °C; if it does,
you need to adjust the temperature to a colder setting.
For further information on keeping food cool and safe a guide
published by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food is available
and can be obtained free of charge by contacting:
Foodsense, London SE99 7TT. Tel: 0645 556000
Tip: Food stored in the refrigerator compartment should always be
covered or packed so that they do not dry out, lose their flavour, or
transfer their flavour to any other refrigerated food. The following are
suitable for packing:
– polyethylene bags;
– plastic containers with lids;
– special plastic covers with rubber retainers;
– aluminium foil.

Hints and Tips
Normal Operating Sounds
• You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant
is pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the cooling
plate/evaporator.
• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round
and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the
compressor.
• A thermostat controls the compressor and you will hear a faint click
when the thermostat cuts in and out.
Food Storage
To obtain the best performance from your refrigerator:
• Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids.
• Do not store food uncovered.
• Keep the time between buying chilled food and placing it in your
refrigerator as short as possible.
• Do not push food together too much, try to allow air to circulate
around each item.
2 Energy Saving Advice
• Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a cooker,
dishwasher or radiator.
• Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated room and make sure
that the air openings of the appliance are not obstructed.
• Always leave warm food to cool down to room temperature before
placing in the fridge.
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the
door too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the
compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
• Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing
properly.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out DISCONNECT
the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.
Internal Cleaning
0 1. Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of
soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly.
1 Warning!
• Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning
products, wax polishes or cleaning products containing bleach or
alcohol.
2. Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean
and free from debris.
External Cleaning
1 Warning!
• Do not use abrasive products
• There are sharp edges on the underside of the product so care should
be taken when cleaning.
1Important: Do not use cleaning agents for stainless steel or other
aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents. The protective coat of lacquer
on the stainless steel surface can be damaged by these.
The coat of lacquer protects against finger prints and therefore
additional cleaning agents and maintenance products are no longer
required.
0 1. Clean the appliance with a cloth and lukewarm water. Commercially
available dish washing detergents may also be used. Rinse and dry thor-
oughly.
Accumulation of dust at the condenser reduces cooling performance
2
and 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.
2. After everything is dry place appliance back into service.

Regulations, Standards, Guidelines
This appliance was designed for household use and was manufactured
in accordance with the appropriate standards. The necessary measures
in accordance with appliance safety legislation regulations (GSG),
accident prevention regulations for refrigeration appliances (VBG 20)
and the regulations of the German Society of Electrical Engineers (VDE)
were observed in the manufacture of this appliance.
The refrigerant circuit has been checked for leaks.
This appliance is in accordance with the following EU guidelines:
;
– 73/23/EWG dated 19 February 1973 - low voltage guidelines.
– 89/336/EWG dated 3 May 1989
(including guideline change notice 92/31/EWG) - EMV guideline
Technical Terminology
• Refrigerant
Liquids that can be used to a generate a cooling effect are known as
refrigerants. They have a relatively low boiling-point, indeed so low,
that the warmth from the food stored in the fridge or freezer can
cause the refrigerant to boil and vaporise.
• Refrigerant Circuit
Closed circulation system that contains the refrigerant. The
refrigerant circuit comprises primarily of an evaporator, a compressor,
a condenser and pipe work.
• Evaporator
The refrigerant is evaporated in the evaporator. Similar to all other
liquids, refrigerant requires heat to evaporate. This heat is removed
from the interior of the appliance, as a result the interior is cooled.
The evaporator is therefore located inside the appliance or placed in
foam immediately behind the inner wall and thus not visible.
• Compressor
The compressor looks like a small drum. It is driven by a built-in
electric motor and is mounted on the base of the appliance at the
rear. The task of the compressor is to draw in vaporised refrigerant
from the evaporator, to compress it, and to pass it on to the
condenser.
• Condenser
The condenser normally has the form of a grid. The refrigerant
compressed in the compressor is liquefied in the condenser. During
this process, heat is released to the surrounding air at the surface of
the condenser. The condenser is mounted on the base of the appliance.

Opening the door
If the door is closed when the appliance is in operation, it cannot be
immediately opened again, because a vacuum occurs which holds the
door closed until pressure has been equalised. The door can be opened
again after several minutes.
The no-frost (frost free) system
• The no-frost (frost free) system enables both the freezing of fresh
foodstuff as well as the storage of readily frozen foodstuff by cold
air. An evaporator cools the air in the interior space of the appliance,
which is circulated and uniformly distributed by a ventilator. This
uniformly circulating air-flow creates for a dry climate, low
temperature fluctuations and low temperature differences in the
entire appliance interior. The moisture in the air condenses as frost on
the evaporator. The evaporator thaws/defrosts -automatically, as
soon as this is necessary. The melted water is drained off outside to
the compressor and evaporates through the heat generated by the
latter. Thus, the interior of the appliance and the stored cooled or
frozen foodstuffs always remain fresh and ice-free. Manual thawing/
defrosting is not necessary.

information.
• In normal operation the current freezer compartment temperature is
displayed (ACTUAL temperature).
• During temperature adjustment, a flashing display of the
temperature selected at the moment occurs (DESIRED temperature).
• In the event that frozen food has been partially or totally defrosted,
perhaps as the result of a lengthy power failure and if the ALARM OFF
button is activated the temperature display will show the warmest
temperature the frozen food has reached on restoration of the power
supply.
• If there is a fault in the appliance a square will appear in the temper-
ature display.
FROSTMATIC-button
The FROSTMATIC function provides for quick freezing of
fresh food products, and at the same time protects pre-
viously stored goods against undesired warming in the
freezer compartment.
0 1. The FROSTMATIC function is switched on by pressing the FROSTMATIC
button. The yellow light illuminates. The compressor runs continuously.
2. The FROSTMATIC function can be ended manually at any time by press-
ing the FROSTMATIC button again. The yellow light goes out.

Prior to Initial Start–Up
Before connecting the appliance to the mains and putting it into oper-
1
ation for the first time, leave the appliance to stand for 30 minutes if
was transported upright. After transport on its side, the appliance must
be left to stand for 2 hours before putting it into operation. This is nec-
essary to allow the refrigerant to flow back into the compressor. Other-
wise the compressor may be damaged.
0 1. Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial
start-up (see section: “Maintenance and Cleaning”).
2. The appliance must be correctly installed in accordance with the chap-
ter "Installation" before it is put into operation for the first time. Care
should be especially taken that the mains voltage and frequency avail-
able correspond with the appliance’s rating plate.
3. Remove the cold accumulation block from the appliance.
4. Only put the cold accumulation block to freeze in the top compartment
after the optimal storage temperature of –18 °C has been reached.
5. After 24 hours place the cold accumulation block in the uppermost
compartment, at the front, above the frozen food.
6. Re-freeze the thawed cold accumulation block in the same way, e. g.
after cleaning the appliance.
Initial use
0 1. Insert plug into mains socket.
2. Press the ON/OFF button.
A warning tone sounds and the red warning light flashes indicating
that the required storage temperature has not yet been reached.

Note: From a food safety point of view, -18 °C for the freezer compart-
ment should be considered cold enough as a storage temperature.
If the buttons are not pressed again for approx. 5 seconds the tempera-
3
ture display will change from the DESIRED temperature to the ACTUAL
temperature. The display changes from flashing to illuminated num-
bers.
Important! Please check red warning display and temperature display
regularly to ensure maintenance of the storage temperature.

Control and Information Systems
The control and information systems consist of the temperature display,
an optical warning display and an acoustic warning.
The system warns:
– when first switching on the appliance (when the storage temperature
has not yet been attained);
– if the appliance door remains open for longer than 80 seconds;
– of excessive temperature in the freezer compartment;
– if there are functional errors with the appliance.
"Open Door" Warning
If the door remains open longer than approx. 80 seconds, the red
warning indicator flashes and a warning tone sounds. If you need more
time for sorting or rearranging frozen foodstuff, you can switch off
warning tone for 80 seconds by pressing the ALARM OFF button.
The red warning indicator will go out when the door is closed.
Temperature Warning
The red warning display and the temperature display flashes and an
audible warning sounds, as soon as the temperature in the freezer com-
partment is warmer than -11 °C.
A rise in temperature may be caused by:
– frequent door opening for long periods of time;
– loading with large quantities of warm foods;
– high ambient temperature;
– an error with the appliance.
0 1. You can cancel the warning tone with the ALARM OFF button.
The temperature display for the freezer indicates the warmest
temperature the freezer has reached during the temperature alarm
period. After approx. 5 seconds the temperature display reverts to the
current freezer temperature. The red warning indicator will switch off
as soon as the temperature has dropped to under -11 °C.

Temperature memory
While the current freezer temperature is above -11 °C, the warmest
3
temperature the freezer has reached during the alarm period is stored
and can be called up as often as wished by pressing the ALARM OFF
button.
If the temperature in the freezer compartment drops to under -11 °C
and the ALARM OFF button has not been pressed prior, the warning
tone will switch off automatically. The red warning indicator and the
temperature display will continue to flash.
If the ALARM OFF button is pressed now, the red warning indicator
switches off. In addition, the temperature display will show for five sec-
onds the highest temperature the frozen food has warmed to. Then the
display will change to the current freezer temperature. The stored high-
est temperature is now erased.
Attention! If suspicion of partial or complete thawing exists, please
check the quality of the foods to determine if they can be used.
Function Errors
If the appliance electronics detects a technical fault that needs to be
rectified by customer service, the temperature display shows a square in
the temperature display of the freezer. The red warning indicator
flashes. The appliance will continue to operate in emergency mode.
Opening the door
If the door is closed when the appliance is in operation, it cannot be
immediately opened again, because a vacuum occurs which holds the
door closed until pressure has been equalised. The door can be opened
again after several minutes.

Freezing
Except for the bottom drawer, which serves for storage purposes, all
compartments and drawers are suited for freezing small quantities of
fresh food. The two upper compartments are suited for freezing of
large quantities of food.
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
freezing 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.
• Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will
cause increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
• When freezing large quantities of food, place the frozen cold accu-
mulation block at the top of the cold food.
• Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into
meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
0 1. When freezing maximum capacity press the FROSTMATIC button 24
hours prior to freezing, or 4 to 6 hours for smaller quantities. The yel-
low indicator light illuminates.
The FROSTMATIC button need not be pressed for freezing of small
quantities of up to 3 kg.
3
2. 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
freeze to the food.
3. Place the packed food in the drawers. Unfrozen food must not touch
items already frozen, otherwise the frozen food could begin to defrost.
The appliance electronics automatically switch the FROSTMATIC func-
3
tion off after a period of 50 hours. Yellow indicator light goes out. You
can also stop the FROSTMATIC function manually by pressing the
FROSTMATIC button again.

Tips:
• The following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods:
– freezer bags and polyethylene wraps;
– plastic containers for frozen goods;
– extra–thick aluminium foil.
• The following are suitable for sealing bags and wrap:
plastic clips, rubber bands or tape.
• Smooth the air out of the bag before sealing; air makes it easier for
the frozen food to dry out.
• Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly.
• Do not fill plastic containers for frozen goods to the brim with liquid
or paste–like goods, because liquids expand during freezing.
Frozen Storage
Important! Wait until the necessary storage temperature of –18 °C has
been reached before storing food already frozen.
• Load the freezer only with packaged frozen goods, so that they do
not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamina-
tion of other frozen goods can occur.
• Please observe maximum storage times and expiry dates of frozen
goods.
Place frozen foods in the drawers sorted by type, as far as possible. This
will give you a better overview of the contents, avoid extended door
opening and therefore save electricity.
2
From a food safety point of view, -18 °C is deemed sufficient as cold
storage temperature.
3
Preparation of Ice Cubes
0 1. Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer 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
compartment using pointed or sharp edged objects. Use a soft plastic
scraper.

Storage Goods Symbols/Freezing Calendar
(not on all models)
• 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.
Maximum Load
In order to load large quantities or bulky freezer items, you can remove
the interior (except for the bottom drawer and the upper compartment
lid, which serves for good ventilation) and place the freezer goods
directly onto the storage grid.
However, when the drawers are removed, the stored items must not
extend the load limit at the storage grid‘s front.

Hints and Tips
Normal Operating Sounds
• You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant
is pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the cooling
plate/evaporator.
• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round
and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the com-
pressor.
• A thermostat controls the compressor and you will hear a faint click
when the thermostat cuts in and out.
• The ventilator generates air flow whereby noise can be emitted.
Food Storage
To obtain the best performance from your freezer:
• Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids.
• Do not store food uncovered.
• Keep the time between buying chilled food and placing it in your
freezer as short as possible.
• Do not push food together too much, try to allow air to circulate
around each item.
2 Energy Saving Advice
• Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a cooker,
dishwasher or radiator.
• Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated room and make sure
that the air openings of the appliance are not obstructed.
• Always leave warm food to cool down to room temperature before
placing in the freezer.
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the
door too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the
compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
• Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing
properly.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out DISCONNECT
the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.
Internal Cleaning
0 1. Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of
soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly.
1 Warning!
• Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning
products, wax polishes or cleaning products containing bleach or
alcohol.
2. Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean
and free from debris.
External Cleaning
1Important: Do not use cleaning agents for stainless steel or other
aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents. The protective coat of lacquer
on the stainless steel surface can be damaged by these.
The coat of lacquer protects against finger prints and therefore
additional cleaning agents and maintenance products are no longer
required.
1 Warning!
• Do not use abrasive products
• There are sharp edges on the underside of the product so care should
be taken when cleaning.
0 1. Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.
Accumulation of dust at the condenser increases energy consumption.

Technical Terminology
• Refrigerant
Liquids that can be used to a generate a cooling effect are known as
refrigerants. They have a relatively low boiling-point, indeed so low,
that the warmth from the food stored in the fridge or freezer can
cause the refrigerant to boil and vaporise.
• Refrigerant Circuit
Closed circulation system that contains the refrigerant. The refriger-
ant circuit comprises primarily of an evaporator, a compressor, a con-
denser and pipe work.
• Evaporator
The refrigerant is evaporated in the evaporator. Similar to all other
liquids, refrigerant requires heat to evaporate. This heat is removed
from the interior of the appliance, as a result the interior is cooled.
The evaporator is therefore located inside the appliance or placed in
foam immediately behind the inner wall and thus not visible.
• Compressor
The compressor looks like a small drum. It is driven by a built-in elec-
tric motor and is mounted on the base of the appliance at the rear.
The task of the compressor is to draw in vaporised refrigerant from
the evaporator, to compress it, and to pass it on to the condenser.
• Condenser
The condenser normally has the form of a grid. The refrigerant com-
pressed in the compressor is liquefied in the condenser. During this
process, heat is released to the surrounding air at the surface of the
condenser. The condenser is mounted on the base of the appliance.
