Safety The safety aspects of our refrigerators/freezers comply with accepted technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. Nevertheless, we consider it our obligation to make you aware of the following safety information: Intended use • The refrigerator is intended for use in the home. It is suitable for the cooling, freezing and storing of frozen food, as well as for making ice.
• Often children cannot recognise the hazards present in household appliances. It is therefore important that you ensure adequate supervision and never let children play with the appliance! Daily Operation • Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures. There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flammable materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.
>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 chlorofluorocarbon. 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.
Installation Installation 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.
10 mm 10 mm For safety reasons, minimum ventilationmust be as shown Fig. Attention: keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction; 100 mm Your appliance needs air NP00 Rear spacers Fit the rear spacers contained in the documentation bag to ensure even dissipation of heat genereted during operation. Proceed in the sequence illustrated by the figures.
4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. Re-tighten the screws. Remove the screw masking plugs from the bottom left-hand side and refit them on the right-hand side. Unscrew the two screws on the bottom left-hand side. Unscrew the middle hinge and remove the refrigerator compartment door by pulling it downwards. With a screwdriver, unscrew the two masking plugs covering the holes on the left-hand side and refit them on the right-hand side.
Electrical connection Before initial start-up, refer to the appliance rating plate to ascertain if supply voltage and current values correspond with those of the mains at the installation location. e.g.: AC 220 ... 240 V 50 Hz or 220 ... 240 V~ 50 Hz (i.e. 220 to 240 volts alternating current, 50 Hertz) The rating plate is inside the appliance on the left. A correctly installed, earthed socket is required for the electrical supply. The supply must have a fuse rating of at least 10 Amps.
Temperature adjustment with ambient temperature below +16°C When the ambient temperature in the room in which the appliance is situated is less than 16° C, the ambient switch (B) must be depressed. The yellow pilot light (A ) comes on. In this way, when the ambient temperature is low, the compressor operates for longer periods to ensure that the storage temperature of -18° C is maintained inside the freezer compartment.
Interior Accessories Storage shelves • You should always slide one of the full size glass storage shelf into the lowest set of guides, above the fruit and the vegetable containers, and keep it in this position. • The height of the storage shelves can be adjusted: • To do this pull the storage shelf forward until it can be swivelledupwards or downwards and removed. • Please do the same in reverse to insert the shelf at a different height.
Bottle shelf Place the bottle in the shelf with the bottleneck to the front. Important: Only store unopened botlles horizontally. The bottle shelf can be tilted for storing opened bottles. To do this pull the bottle rack forward until it can be tilted upwards, then slide the front support into the next level up. 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.
Freezing and storing frozen food You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself. Important! 1. 2. 3. 34 • 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.
Preparation of Ice Cubes 1. 2. Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer compartment and leave to freeze. 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 the ice scraper supplied. Freezing Calendar • The symbols on the drawers show different types of frozen goods.
Defrosting 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 36 Refrigerator Frost 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. Freezer The freezer compartment, however, will become progrssively covered with frost.
Switching off the appliance 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period: Remove all refrigerated and deep-frozen packages as well as ice trays. Switch off the appliance by turning the temperature regulator to position "0". Remove the mains plug or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse. Defrost freezer compartment and clean thoroughly (see section: “Cleaning and Care”). Leave the door open to avoid the build up of odours.
4. 5. 6. 7. Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water. Commercially available dish washing detergents may also be used. 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. Check the water drain hole on the rear wall of the fridge.
