Caring for the environment  
Disposal of the packing  
material  
Disposal of your old appliance  
Electrical and electronic appliances  
often 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 transport and protective packing  
has been selected from materials which  
are environmentally friendly for  
disposal, and should be recycled.  
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,  
bags etc. are disposed of safely and  
kept out of the reach of babies and  
young children. Danger of suffocation!  
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.

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, but does  
not have any adverse effect on the  
performance of the appliance.  
Care must be taken during the

Switching on and off  
Before using for the first time  
Switching on  
Important:  
To ensure the correct functioning of  
the appliance, let it stand for  
between 1½ and 2 hours after  
transporting it to its final location  
before connecting it to the mains.  
^ Using a coin, turn the On/Off dial in a  
clockwise direction away from the "0"  
position until the temperature display  
lights up.  
Protective foil  
The stainless steel trim to the interior  
shelves and the door shelves has a  
layer of protective foil to prevent  
damage during transportation.  
Forcing the dial beyond its range will  
damage it. Turn it only as far as it  
will go, then turn it back again.  
^ Carefully remove the protective foil  
from the stainless steel trim.  
The appliance begins to cool down,  
and the temperature required for the  
refrigerator shows in the temperature  
display. The interior light will come on  
when the door is opened.  
Cleaning  
^ 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.  
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.  
Switching off  
^ Using a coin, turn the On/Off dial in  
an anti-clockwise direction back to  
the "0" position.  
The temperature display will go out and  
the cooling process will be switched  
off.  
14  
 
Switching on and off  
Switching off for longer  
periods of time  
If the appliance is not going to be used  
for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst  
on holiday:  
^ switch the appliance off,  
^ disconnect it from the mains.  
^ defrost the freezer compartment  
(depending on model),  
^ clean the appliance out and  
^ leave the door ajar to air the  
appliance.  
If, during a long absence, the  
appliance is switched off but not  
cleaned out and the door is left shut,  
there is a danger of mould and  
odours building up inside the  
appliance.

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.  
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.  
Setting the temperature  
The temperature in the appliance will  
rise:  
The temperature for the refrigerator  
section is set using the temperature  
dial.  
– the more often the door is opened  
and the longer it is kept open,  
The higher or lower the temperature in  
the refrigerator section, the higher or  
lower it is in the freezer section.  
– if too much food is stored in it at  
once,  
– the warmer the food is which is being  
put into it,  
– 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.  
^ Using a coin, turn the temperature  
dial in a clockwise direction away  
from the "0" position.  
The higher the setting, the lower the  
temperature in the appliance.  
. . . For the refrigerator section  
The temperature being set will flash in  
the display.  
We recommend a temperature of 5°C in  
the middle of the refrigerator.  
Forcing it beyond its range will  
damage it. Turn it only as far as it  
will go, then turn it back again.  
. . . For the freezer  
compartment  
(depending on model)  
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  
generally halted. As soon as the  
temperature rises above -10 °C, the

The correct temperature  
Temperature display  
The temperature display on the  
control panel always shows the  
required temperature.  
If you want the temperature in the  
refrigerator section to be 5 °C,  
^ turn the temperature selector  
clockwise from 0 until the 5 lights up  
in the temperature display.  
The average temperature in the freezer  
section will then be approx. -18 °C.  
The temperature can be set slightly  
colder than the displayed temperature  
(e.g. between 5°C and 3 °C).  
^ To do so turn the temperature dial  
slowly in a clockwise direction from  
e.g. 5, until the 5 flashes briefly in the  
temperature display.  
The colder temperature is now set.  
If the appliance door is opened very  
often, or if large quantities of food are  
being stored in the appliance, or if  
there is a high ambient temperature, it  
is advisable to set the temperature  
between 3 °C and 5 °C.

containing propellants (e.g. spray  
cans). Danger of explosion.  
If storing alcohol with a high  
percentage proof, make sure it is  
tightly closed, and store upright.  
Warmest area  
Do not store cooking oil in the  
refrigerator door.  
The warmest area is in the top section  
of the door. Use this for storing butter  
and cheese.  
Traces of oil can cause stress  
cracks to occur in the plastic  
components in the door.  
Coldest area  
Food must not touch the back wall of  
the appliance, as it may freeze to  
the back wall.  
The coldest area in a refrigerator is  
directly above the vegetable  
containers.  
Use this for all delicate and highly  
perishable food, e.g.  
Food which should not be  
stored in a refrigerator  
– fish, meat, poultry,  
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration.  
This includes:  
– sausage products, ready meals,  
– dishes or baked goods containing  
eggs or cream,  
– Fruit and vegetables which are  
sensitive to cold, such as bananas,  
avocado, papaya, passion fruit,  
aubergines, peppers, tomatoes and  
cucumbers  
– fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or  
quiche dough,  
– soft cheese and other dairy  
products,  
– Fruit which is not yet ripe  
– Potatoes  
– pre-packed vegetables and other  
fresh food with a label stating it  
should be kept at a temperature of  
approx. 4 °C.

Using the refrigerator efficiently  
When shopping for food  
Fruit and vegetables  
The freshness of food when first placed Fruit and vegetables may be stored  
in the appliance is an important factor  
in determining how long it stays fresh.  
Time out of the 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.  
Once food has started to deteriorate,  
this process cannot be reversed. As  
little as two hours outside the  
loose in the vegetable containers.  
However, you should bear in mind that  
aromas and flavours can transfer from  
one type of food to another (e.g. carrots  
absorb the smell and flavour of onions

Example: Broccoli should not be  
stored with apples, as apples  
produce a large amount of natural  
gas to which broccoli is very  
sensitive. The result is a shorter than  
expected storage time for the  
broccoli.

Using the refrigerator efficiently  
Unpacked meats and vegetables  
Unpackaged meat and vegetables  
should be stored separately. To avoid  
any microbiological  
cross-contamination, these foods may  
only be stored together if they are  
wrapped.  
Protein rich foods  
Please note that foods rich in protein  
deteriorate faster than others.  
Shellfish, for example, deteriorates  
faster than fish, and fish deteriorates  
faster than meat.  
Meat  
Meat should be stored unwrapped.  
(Undo wrappings slightly to leave meat  
loosely covered, and leave containers  
open). This permits air to circulate  
around the meat, allowing the surface  
to dry slightly, which helps prevent the  
growth of bacteria. To prevent the risk  
of bacterial cross-contamination, do not  
let meat come into direct contact with  
other foods.

Freezing and storing food (depending on model)  
Using the freezer compartment Storing frozen food  
Use the freezer compartment to:  
– store frozen food,  
When buying frozen food to store in  
your freezer, check  
– that the packaging is not damaged,  
– the use-by date,  
– make ice cubes,  
– freeze small quantities of fresh food.  
– the temperature at which the frozen  
food is being stored in the shop. The  
length of time it can be kept is  
Up to 2 kg of food can be frozen in  
24 hours.  
reduced if it has been stored at a  
temperature warmer than -18 °C.  
Freezing fresh food  
^ 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.  
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 compartment as  
soon as possible.  
Food which takes a long time to freeze  
will lose more water from its cells, which  
then shrink.  
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.  
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.  
If food is frozen quickly, the cells have  
less time to lose moisture, so they  
shrink less. As there is not so much  
moisture loss, 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 (depending on model)  
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 foods or drinks in  
the freezer. 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.  
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  
^ Unsuitable packing material  
- wrapping paper  
– The following types of food are not  
suitable for freezing:  
- grease-proof paper  
- cellophane  
Grapes, lettuce, radishes, sour  
cream, mayonnaise, eggs in their  
shells, onions, whole raw apples and  
pears.  
- dustbin liners  
- plastic carrier bags  
^ Freeze food in portions.  
– To retain colour, taste and vitamin C,  
vegetables should be blanched after  
they have been trimmed and  
washed.  
Suitable packing material  
- plastic freezer film  
- freezer bags  
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.  
- freezer containers  
- aluminium foil  
^ 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.

Frozen food can be defrosted in  
different ways:  
^ Turn the temperature selector to a  
middle to low temperature for approx.  
4 hours before placing fresh food in  
the freezer compartment. This helps  
food that is already in the freezer to  
stay frozen.  
– in a microwave oven,  
– in an oven using the "Fan" or  
"Defrost" setting,  
– at room temperature,  
– in the refrigerator (the cold given off  
by the frozen food helps to keep the  
food cold),  
Placing food in the freezer section  
^ Place the food flat on the bottom of  
the freezer compartment 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.  
When freezing, 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.  
Fruit should be defrosted at room  
temperature in its packing, or in a  
covered bowl.  
^ After 24 hours, turn the temperature

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.

Freezing and storing food (depending on model)  
Ice cubes  
^ Fill the ice tray three quarters full with  
water and place it on the bottom of  
the freezer compartment.  
^ Once frozen, use a blunt instrument,  
for example a spoon handle, to  
remove the ice tray from the freezer.  
^ 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  
To cook drinks quickly, place them in  
the refrigerator section, and switch on  
the Super cool function.  
If placing drinks in the freezer  
compartment to cool them quickly,  
make sure bottles are not left for  
more than one hour as they could  
burst.

accumulate, this will impair the  
efficiency of the freezer and increase  
the consumption of electricity.  
The condensate is drained away via a  
channel and drain hole into an  
evaporation system at the back of the  
appliance.  
Do not scrape ice and frost off, and  
do not not use any sharp edged or  
pointed instruments to aid the  
defrosting process.  
Ensure that the condensate channel  
and drain hole are kept clean and  
are never blocked so that  
They will damage the evaporator,  
causing irreversible damage to the  
appliance.  
condensate can flow away without  
hindrance.  
The freezer compartment should be  
defrosted from time to time. It must be  
defrosted if a layer of ice approx. 0.5  
cm thick has accumulated. It is best to  
defrost when only very little food or no  
food at all is left in the freezer  
compartment.  
Before defrosting  
^ Remove the frozen food from the  
freezer compartment and place it in  
another freezer or cool box, or wrap it  
in several layers of newspaper or  
cloths,  
^ and store it in a cool place until the  
freezer compartment is ready for use  
again.  
27  
 
Defrosting  
To defrost  
Do not use defrosting sprays, or  
de-icers as they could contain  
substances which could damage  
the plastic parts and which may  
cause a build up of gases and pose  
a danger to health.  
Carry out the defrosting procedure  
as quickly as possible if food has  
not been placed in another freezer.  
The longer the food is left out at  
room temperature, the faster it  
defrosts.  
After defrosting  
^ Switch the appliance off.  
^ Close the appliance door.  
^ Disconnect it from the mains. Switch  
off at the wall and withdraw the plug  
from the socket, or disconnect the  
mains fuse or remove the screw-out  
fuse in countries where this is  
applicable.  
^ Insert the plug in the socket and  
switch on at the mains. Then switch  
the appliance back on.  
^ Place the frozen food into the freezer  
compartment again.  
^ Open the freezer compartment 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 in the  
freezer compartment. Closing the door  
in this instance will help retain warmth  
and speed up the defrosting process.  
Do not use a steam-cleaning  
appliance to aid the defrosting  
process. Steam could reach the  
electrical components and cause a  
short circuit.  
Never place electric heaters or  
candles etc. inside the appliance to  
defrost it. They will damage plastic  
components.

Building in the appliance  
Preparing the appliance  
All building-in instructions given are  
for a right hand hinged appliance.  
If you have converted the appliance  
to left hand hinging you will need to  
adapt these instructions  
accordingly.  
Building into a peninsular run  
When built into a peninsular run, the  
rear of the building in niche must be  
fitted with a kitchen furniture panel.  
^ Slide cover strip a into the holder as  
shown, with the bumps facing  
downwards. The bumps will fit into  
keyhole slots b. The cover strip is  
then flush with the side of the  
appliance on which the door is  
opened c.  
Aligning the housing unit  
Before installing the appliance, the  
housing unit must be carefully aligned  
using a spirit level. The housing unit  
corners must be at right angles, as  
otherwise the appliance furniture door  
will not align correctly with the 4  
corners of the unit. Align the furniture  
door with the hinges.

Securing the appliance and  
fitting the furniture door  
^ If necessary, align cover strip k by  
pushing it parallel to the top of the  
unit - it should not protrude.  
^ Fold in the side section of bracket b.  
^ Replace cover a, and cap all the  
holes with stoppers l and m.  
^ Secure door fixings n to the  
appliance door with screw o  
(3.9 x 9.5 mm), to suit the position of  
the handle,  
Very large doors will require several  
door fixings.  
^ Open the door right out, and push  
fixing guides p into door fixings n.  
^ Position the furniture door onto the  
appliance door, and secure fixing  
guides p to the furniture door using  
screws q (4 x 14 mm). Maintain a  
distance d (= the thickness of the  
housing unit walls) between the edge  
of the appliance door and outer edge  
of the furniture door.  
^ Push the appliance against the  
housing wall on the side on which the  
door opens so that the sealing strip is  
pressed into the housing wall h.  
^ Align the door fixing so that the  
furniture door on the side with the  
handle does not lie against the  
housing unit wall when the door is  
shut. A minimum distance of 1 mm  
r must be maintained. This is vital  
for the longterm effectiveness of the  
insulation.  
^ Secure the appliance at the top with  
screw i (4 x 19 mm) into bracket b,  
pushing the appliance against the  
furniture wall as you do so. Then  
secure it at the bottom with screws j  
(4 x 36 mm) through the adjusting  
screws in the hinge plates to the  
housing.  
^ Tighten all the screws.
