Caring for the environment  
Disposal of the packing  
material  
Disposal of your old appliance  
Electrical and electronic appliances  
often contain valuable materials. They  
also contain materials which, if handled  
or disposed of incorrectly, could be  
potentially hazardous to human health  
and to the environment. They are,  
however, essential for the correct  
functioning of your appliance. Please  
do not therefore dispose of it with your  
household waste.  
The packaging is designed to protect  
the appliance from damage during  
transportation. The packaging materials  
used are selected from materials which  
are environmentally friendly for disposal  
and should be recycled.  
Recycling the packaging reduces the  
use of raw materials in the  
manufacturing process and also  
reduces the amount of waste in landfill  
sites.  
Please dispose of it at your local  
community waste collection / recycling  
centre or contact your dealer for  
advice. Ensure that it presents no  
danger to children while being stored  
for disposal.  
Take care not to damage the pipework  
at the back of it before or during  
transportation to an authorised  
collection depot.  
In this way, refrigerant in the pipework  
and oil in the compressor will be  
contained, and will not leak out into the  
environment.

~
be kept out of the reach of babies and children. Whilst playing,  
children could become entangled in packaging or pull it over their  
head and suffocate.  
Technical safety  
The coolant system is tested for leaks. The appliance complies  
~
with statutory safety requirements and the appropriate EU  
guidelines.  
This appliance contains the coolant Isobutane (R600a), a natural  
~
gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is flammable, it  
does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the  
greenhouse effect.  
The use of this coolant has, however, led to a slight increase in the  
noise level of the appliance. In addition to the noise of the  
compressor, you might be able to hear the coolant flowing around  
the system. This is unavoidable, and does not have any adverse  
effect on the performance of the appliance.  
Care must be taken during the transportation and installation of the  
appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking  
refrigerant can damage the eyes.  
In the event of any damage:  
– avoid any flames or anything which creates a spark,  
– disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply,  
– ventilate the room where the appliance is located for several  
minutes, and  
– call the Service department.

~
wet hands. Your hands may freeze to the frozen food or metal parts.  
Danger of frost burn.  
Do not take ice cubes out with your bare hands and never place  
~
ice cubes or ice lollies in your mouth straight from the freezer. The  
very low temperature of the frozen ice or lollies can cause frostburn  
to the lips or tongue.  
Do not refreeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume  
~
defrosted food as soon as possible, as it will lose its nutritional value  
and spoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen  
after it has been cooked.  
Observe the manufacturer's "use-by" dates and storage  
~
instructions given on food to avoid the risk of food poisoning.  
Storage times will depend on several factors, including the  
freshness and quality of the food as well as the temperature at which  
it is stored. Observe the manufacturer's "use-by" dates and storage  
instructions given on food.

Switching on and off  
Before using for the first time  
Switching off  
^ Turn the On/Off and temperature  
selector in an anti-clockwise direction  
from "1" back to the "0" position. You  
will meet a little resistance, but this  
should be ignored.  
Protective foil  
The stainless steel trim to the interior  
shelves and the door shelves has a  
layer of protective foil to prevent  
scratching during transportation.  
The interior light will not come on when  
you open the door and the cooling  
process will be switched off.  
^ Carefully remove the protective foil  
from the stainless steel trim.  
Cleaning  
Switching off for longer  
periods of time  
^ Clean the inside of the appliance and  
the accessories with lukewarm water  
and a little washing-up liquid, and  
then dry with a soft cloth.  
If the appliance is not going to be used  
for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst  
on holiday:  
^ switch the appliance off,  
Switching on  
^ disconnect it from the mains. Switch  
off at the wall and withdraw the plug  
from the socket, or disconnect the  
mains fuse.  
^ Turn the On/Off and temperature  
selector in a clockwise direction  
away from the "0" position.  
The higher the setting, the lower the  
temperature in the appliance.  
^ defrost the freezer section,  
^ clean the appliance out and  
The appliance will start cooling and the  
interior light in the refrigerator section  
will come on if you open the door.  
^ leave the doors ajar to air the  
appliance.  
To enable the temperature to get  
sufficiently cold inside the appliance,  
allow the appliance to run for a few  
hours before placing food in it.  
If, during a long absence, the  
appliance is switched off but not  
cleaned out and the doors are left  
shut, there is a danger of mould and  
odours building up inside the  
appliance.  
18  
 
The correct temperature  
It is very important to set the correct  
temperature for storing food in the  
appliance. Micro-organisms will cause  
food which is not stored at the correct  
temperature to deteriorate rapidly.  
Temperature influences the growth rate  
of these micro-organisms. Reducing  
the temperature reduces their growth  
rate.  
Please note that:  
– bathwater and other household  
thermometers are not very accurate.  
It is best to use an electronic  
thermometer.  
– Do not measure the temperature of  
the air in the appliance. The result  
will not reflect the temperature in the  
food.  
The temperature in the appliance will  
rise:  
– Try to open the door as little as  
possible during the measuring  
period, as warm room air will enter  
the refrigerator every time the door is  
opened.  
– the more often the door is opened  
and the longer it is kept open,  
– if too much food is stored in it at  
once,  
. . . in the freezer section  
– the warmer the food is which is being  
put into it,  
To freeze fresh food and to store frozen  
food for a long time, a temperature of  
-18 °C is required. At this temperature  
the growth of micro-organisms is  
– the higher the ambient temperature  
surrounding the appliance.  
The appliance is designed for use in  
specific ambient temperatures  
(climate ranges). Do not use in  
ambient temperatures for which it is  
not designed.  
generally halted. As soon as the  
temperature rises above -10°C, the  
micro-organisms become active in the  
food again so that it cannot be kept as  
long. For this reason, partially defrosted  
or defrosted food must not be re-frozen.  
Food may be re-frozen once it has

achieved when cooking destroy most  
micro-organisms.  
If you wish to check the temperature in  
the refrigerator,  
^ place a thermometer in a glass of  
water and then place the glass in the  
middle of the refrigerator.  
After about 24 hours, the thermometer  
will show the approximate temperature  
in the refrigerator.  
19  
 
The correct temperature  
Setting the temperature  
The temperature is set with the On/Off  
and temperature selector dial.  
^ Turn it to a setting between 1 and 7.  
The higher the setting, the lower the  
temperature in the appliance.  
A middle range setting is usually  
sufficient.  
However, if frozen food is to be stored  
in the freezer section then a setting of  
between 4 and 7 is recommended to  
ensure that the required temperature in  
the freezer section is maintained.  
It is also advisable to set the  
temperature within this range, if  
– the doors are opened frequently,  
– large quantities of food are stored  
inside the appliance,  
– there is a high ambient temperature.  
20  
 
Storing food in the refrigerator  
Different storage zones  
Do not store explosive materials in  
the appliance or any products  
containing propellants (e.g. spray  
cans). Danger of explosion.  
Due to the natural circulation of the air  
in the appliance, there are different  
temperature zones in the refrigerator.  
Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest  
section of the appliance. Make use of  
the different zones when placing food  
in the appliance.  
If storing alcohol with a high  
percentage proof, make sure it is  
tightly closed, and store upright.  
Warmest area  
If storing food which contains a lot of  
fat or oil in the appliance or in the

door, make sure that it does not  
come into contact with plastic  
components as this could cause  
stress cracks or break the plastic.  
Coldest area  
The coldest area is directly above the  
fruit and vegetables containers or  
above the fruit and vegetable drawer  
(depending on model) and at the back  
of the appliance.  
Food must not touch the back wall of  
the appliance, as it may freeze to  
the back wall.  
To allow air to circulate efficiently,  
do not pack food too closely  
together in the refrigerator.  
Use this for all delicate and highly  
perishable food, e.g.  
– fish, meat, poultry,  
– sausage products, ready meals,  
– dishes or baked goods containing  
eggs or cream,  
– fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or  
quiche dough,  
– soft cheese and other dairy  
products,  
– pre-packed vegetables and other  
fresh food with a label stating it  
should be kept at a temperature of  
approx. 4°C .  
21  
 
Storing food in the refrigerator  
Food which is not suitable for  
storing in the refrigerator  
When shopping for food  
The freshness of food when first placed  
in the appliance is an important factor  
in determining how long it stays fresh,  
and how long it can be kept in the  
refrigerator. Always observe the use-by  
date and the recommended storage  
temperature. Time out of the  
Not all food is suitable for storing in a  
refrigerator at temperatures below 5°C  
as some food is sensitive to cold. The  
appearance, consistency, taste and / or  
the vitamin content of certain types of  
food can be adversely affected by  
being stored in too cold a place.  
refrigerator, e.g. during transportation,  
should be kept to a minimum. For  
example, do not allow food to stay in a  
hot car for too long.  
Food which does not tolerate cold  
temperatures includes:  
Tip: Take a cool bag with you when  
shopping and on return place food into  
the appliance immediately.  
– Pineapples, avocados, bananas,  
pomegranates, mangos, melons,  
papayas, passion fruit,  
citrus fruit (such as lemons, oranges,  
mandarins, grapefruit),  
– Fruit which is not yet ripe,  
– Aubergines/egg plant, cucumber,  
potatoes, peppers/capiscum,  
tomatoes, courgettes/zucchini,  
– Some hard cheeses, e.g. Parmesan.  
22  
 
Storing food in the refrigerator  
Storing food correctly  
Food should generally be stored  
covered or packaged. This will prevent  
food smells from affecting other food,  
food from drying out, and also any  
cross-contamination of bacteria. This is  
particularly important for protein-based  
food such as meat or fish.  
The growth of bacteria, such as  
salmonella, can be avoided by setting  
the correct temperature and  
maintaining good standards of hygiene.  
Fruit and vegetables  
Fruit and vegetables can be stored  
loose in the fruit and vegetable  
containers or drawers (depending on  
model).  
Protein rich food  
Please note that food rich in protein  
deteriorates faster than others.  
Shellfish, for example, deteriorates  
faster than fish, and fish deteriorates  
faster than meat.

Adjusting the interior fittings  
Moving the shelves  
The shelves can be adjusted according  
to the height of the food.  
^ Raise the shelf, and pull it forwards  
slightly until the notch at the side is in  
line with the shelf support. It can then  
be raised or lowered to the required  
level.  
^ fit the two brackets onto the supports  
The raised edge at the back of the shelf  
must face upwards to prevent food  
from touching the back of the appliance  
and freezing to it.  
on either side at the required height,  
^ and push the glass shelves in one  
after the other.  
The shelf with the raised edge must  
be at the back.  
Stoppers prevent the shelves from  
being dislodged by mistake.  
Adjusting the door shelf/bottle

shop. The length of time it can be  
kept is reduced if it has been stored  
at a temperature warmer than -18 °C.  
The maximum freezing capacity given  
on the data plate has been calculated  
according to DIN EN ISO 15502 Stan-  
dard.  
^ Buy frozen food once you have  
finished the rest of your shopping,  
and wrap it in newspaper or use a  
cool bag or cool box to transport it.  
Freezing fresh food  
Fresh food should be frozen as quickly  
as possible. This way the nutritional  
value of the food, its vitamin content,  
appearance and taste are not impaired.  
^ Store it in the freezer section as soon  
as possible.  
Never re-freeze partially or fully  
defrosted food. Consume defrosted  
food as soon as possible as it will  
lose its nutritional value and spoil if  
left for too long. Defrosted food may  
only be re-frozen after it has been  
cooked.  
Food which takes a long time to freeze  
will lose more water from its cells, which  
then shrink.  
During the defrosting process, only  
some of this water is reabsorbed by the  
cells; the rest collects around the food.  
In practice this means that the food  
loses a large degree of its moisture.  
You can tell if this has happened by the  
amount of liquid around the food.  
If food is frozen quickly, the cells have  
less time to lose moisture, so they  
shrink less.  
As there is not so much moisture, it is  
easier for the food to reabsorb it during  
the defrosting process, and very little  
water collects around the defrosted  
food.

Freezing and storing food  
Home freezing  
lightly before freezing, but care  
should be taken as the taste of some  
spices alters when frozen.  
Only freeze fresh food which is in a  
good condition.  
– Do not place hot food or drinks in the  
freezer section. This causes already  
frozen food to thaw and increases  
the energy consumption  
Hints on home freezing  
– The following types of food are  
suitable for freezing:  
considerably. Allow hot food and  
drinks to cool down before placing  
them in the freezer section.  
Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish,  
vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy  
products, pastry, leftovers, egg  
yolks, egg whites and a range of  
pre-cooked meals.  
Packing  
^ Freeze food in portions.  
– The following types of food are not  
suitable for freezing:  
Suitable packing material  
- plastic freezer film  
- freezer bags  
Grapes, lettuce, radishes, sour  
cream, mayonnaise, eggs in their  
shells, onions, whole raw apples and  
pears.  
- freezer containers  
- aluminium foil  
– To retain colour, taste and vitamin C,  
vegetables should be blanched after  
they have been trimmed and  
washed.  
Unsuitable packing material  
- wrapping paper  
- grease-proof paper  
- cellophane  
To blanch: bring a large saucepan of  
water to the boil and immerse the  
vegetables in the fast boiling water  
for 2-3 minutes, depending on  
variety. Remove, and plunge into  
ice-cold water to cool quickly. Drain  
and pack ready for freezing.  
- bin liners  
- plastic carrier bags  
^ Expel as much air as possible from  
bags etc. before sealing them, to  
prevent freezer-burn on food.  
^ Close the packaging tightly with  
- rubber bands  
– Lean meat freezes better than fatty  
meat, and can be stored for  
considerably longer.  
- plastic clips  
- string or bag ties  
- freezer tape.  
– To prevent chops, steaks, cutlets or  
rolled meat from freezing together in  
solid blocks when packed, separate  
with a sheet of plastic freezer film.  
Freezer bags may also be sealed  
using home heat-sealing kits.  
– Do not season fresh food or  
blanched vegetables before

Freezing and storing food  
Approx. 24 hours before placing  
fresh food in the freezer section  
Defrosting  
Frozen food can be defrosted in  
different ways:  
^ Turn the On/Off and temperature  
selector to a medium or high (cold)  
setting.  
– in a microwave oven,  
– in an oven using the "Fan" or  
"Defrost" setting,  
This helps food that is already in the  
freezer section to stay frozen.  
– at room temperature,  
– in the refrigerator (the cold given off  
by the frozen food helps to keep  
other food cold),  
Placing food in the freezer section  
^ Place the food flat in the bottom of  
the freezer section so that it freezes  
through to the core as quickly as  
possible.  
– in a steam oven.  
Poultry It is particularly important to  
observe food hygiene rules when  
defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid  
from defrosted poultry. Pour it away  
and wash the container it was in, the  
sink and your hands. Danger of  
salmonella poisoning.  
^ Make sure that the packaging and  
containers are dry to prevent them  
sticking together when frozen.  
Make sure that food already frozen  
does not come into contact with  
fresh food being frozen as this could  
cause the frozen food to begin to  
defrost.  
Ensure that meat and fish (e.g mince,  
chicken, fish fillets) do not come into  
contact with other foods while  
defrosting. Catch the liquid and  
dispose of it carefully.  
Approx. 24 hours after placing fresh  
food in the freezer section  
Fruit should be defrosted at room  
temperature in its packaging, or in a  
covered bowl.  
^ Turn the On/Off and temperature  
selector to a slightly lower setting.  
Most vegetables can be cooked while  
still frozen. Just put straight into boiling  
water or hot fat. The cooking time is  
slightly less than that of fresh vegetables  
due to changes in the cell structure.  
Never re-freeze partially or fully  
defrosted food. Consume defrosted  
food as soon as possible as it will  
lose its nutritional value and spoil if  
left for too long. Defrosted food may  
only be re-frozen after it has been  
cooked.  
27  
 
Freezing and storing food  
Ice cubes  
^ Fill the ice tray three quarters full with  
water and place it at the bottom of  
the freezer section.  
^ Once frozen, use a blunt instrument,  
for example a spoon handle, to  
remove the ice tray from the freezer  
section.  
^ Ice cubes can be removed easily  
from the tray by twisting the tray  
gently or by holding it under cold  
running water for a short while.  
Cooling drinks  
When cooling drinks quickly in the  
freezer section, make sure bottles are  
not left in for more than one hour, as  
they could burst.  
28  
 
Defrosting  
Refrigerator section  
In certain circumstances too thick a  
layer of ice can prevent the door from  
closing properly. Too thick a layer of ice  
also reduces efficiency and increases  
energy consumption.  
The refrigerator section defrosts  
automatically.  
Condensate and frost can build up on  
the back wall of the refrigerator section  
whilst it is in use. You do not need to  
remove this, as it will defrost and

evaporate automatically with the  
warmth generated by the compressor.  
The best time to defrost the freezer  
compartment is when:  
The condensate is drained away via a  
channel and drain hole into an  
evaporation system at the back of the  
appliance.  
– there is very little food or no food left  
in the appliance,  
– the humidity level in the room is low  
and the ambient temperature in the  
room is also low.  
Ensure that the condensate channel  
and drain hole are kept clean and  
are never blocked so that  
condensate can flow away without  
hindrance.  
Do not scrape off ice and frost and  
do not not use any sharp edged or  
pointed instruments to aid the  
defrosting process.  
Freezer section  
This would damage the evaporator,  
causing irreversible damage to the  
appliance.  
The freezer section does not defrost  
automatically.  
In normal use, ice and frost will form in  
the freezer, e.g. on the internal walls.  
How much ice and frost accumulates in  
the appliance will depend on the  
following:  
Before defrosting  
^ The day before defrosting the freezer,  
turn the On/Off and temperature  
selector to a medium to cold setting  
(approx. 6) to ensure frozen food  
retains its cold reserve for longer  
when taken out of the freezer.  
– whether the appliance door has  
been opened frequently or left open  
for a while.  
– whether a large quantity of fresh food  
has been placed in the freezer  
section at once.  
^ Remove the frozen food from the  
freezer compartment and wrap it in  
several layers of newspaper or cloths.  
– whether there has been an increase  
in the humidity in the room.  
^ Store it in a cool place until the  
freezer is ready for use again.  
^ Remove the glass cold plate from the  
freezer.

the plastic parts or which could  
cause a build-up of gases and pose  
a danger to health.  
^ Switch the appliance off.  
^ Disconnect it from the mains.  
^ Open the freezer section door.  
^ Use a sponge or towel to soak up the  
defrosted water.  
To speed up defrosting, a bowl with hot  
water (not boiling) can be placed on a  
saucer in the freezer compartment.  
Closing the door in this instance will  
help retain warmth and speed up the  
defrosting process.

Installing the appliance  
The appliance can be installed in a  
kitchen run. To match the height of the  
rest of the kitchen, the appliance can  
be fitted with a suitable top box a.  
A ventilation gap of at least 50 mm  
depth must be allowed for behind the  
appliance across the entire width of the  
top box for air to circulate.  
The cross section of the air outlet under  
the room ceiling must be at least  
300 cm2 to ensure that air can circulate  
without hindrance. Otherwise the  
appliance has to work harder, resulting  
in an increase in electricity  
consumption.  
The ventilation gaps must not be  
covered or blocked in any way.  
They should be dusted on a regular  
basis.  
When built into a kitchen run (max.  
depth 580 mm) the appliance can be  
installed directly next to a kitchen  
furniture housing unit. The appliance  
door will protrude in front of furniture  
fronts at the sides by 34 mm* and by  
55 mm* in the middle of the door. This  
enables the door to be opened and  
shut without being obstructed.  
* The appliance depth is increased  
by approx. 35 mm for appliances  
with wall spacers fitted.

When installed next to a wall d a  
distance of approx. 30 mm must be  
maintained on the hinge side between  
the wall d and the appliance b, so  
that the doors and the handles have  
sufficient space for opening.
