Disposal notes

The appliance contains reusable materials and should

be disposed of properly - not simply with unsorted

household refuse. Appliances which are no longer

needed must be disposed of in a professional and

appropriate way, in accordance with the current local

regulations and laws.

When disposing of the appliance, ensure that the refrigerant circuit

is not damaged to prevent uncontrolled escape of the refrigerant

it contains (data on type plate) and oil.

• Disable the appliance.

• Pull out the mains plug.

• Cut through the connection cable.

WARNING

Danger of suffocation due to packing material and plastic film!

Do not allow children to play with packaging material. Take the

packaging material to an official collection point.

• To prevent injury or damage to the unit, the ap-

pliance should be unpacked and set up by two

people.

• In the event that the appliance is damaged on

delivery, contact the supplier immediately before

connecting to the mains.

• To guarantee safe operation, ensure that the ap-

pliance is set up and connected as described in

these operating instructions.

• Disconnect the appliance from the mains if any

fault occurs. Pull out the plug, switch off or remove

the fuse.

• When disconnecting the appliance, pull on the

plug, not on the cable.

• Any repairs and work on the appliance should

only be carried out by the customer service

highly dangerous for the user. The same applies

to changing the mains power cable.

• Do not allow naked flames or ignition sources

to enter the appliance. When transporting and

cleaning the appliance, ensure that the refrigerant

circuit is not damaged. In the event of damage,

make sure that there are no ignition sources nearby

and keep the room well ventilated.

• Do not stand on the plinth, drawers or doors or

use them to support anything else.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons

(including children) with reduced physical, sensory

or mental capabilities or lack of experience and

knowledge unless they have been given initial

supervision or instruction concerning use of the

appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they

do not play with the appliance.

• Avoid prolonged skin contact with cold surfaces or

chilled/frozen food. This could cause pain, numb-

ness and frostbite. In the case of prolonged skin

contact, protective measures should be taken,

e.g. gloves should be worn.

• Do not eat ice cream, particulary ice lollies or ice

cubes, immediately after taking them from the

freezer compartment as there is a risk of "burning"

because of the very cold temperatures.

• Do not consume food which has been stored for

too long, as it could cause food poisoning.

Saving energy

- Always ensure good ventilation. Do not cover ventilation open-

ings or grille.

- Do not place appliance in areas of direct sunlight or next to a

stove, heater or similar object.

- The energy consumption depends on the installation conditions,

e.g. the ambient temperature.

- Keep the time the appliance is open to a minimum.

- Store food logically.

- Ensure that all food is well packed and covered for storage. This

will prevent frost from forming.

- First cool warm food to room temperature before storing it.

- Defrost frozen food in the refrigerator.

Freezer compartment

- If there is a thick layer of frost in the appliance: defrost the appli-

ance.

Setting up

• Standard EN 378 specifies that the room in which you install

your appliance must have a volume of 1 m

per 8 g of R 600a

refrigerant used in the appliance, so as to avoid the formation

of inflammable gas/air mixtures in the room

where the appliance is located in the event

of a leak in the refrigerant circuit. The quan-

tity of refrigerant used in your appliance is

indicated on the type plate on the inside of

the appliance.

• Only use the appliance when it is installed.

Freezing chart

The freezing chart represents the frozen

food and the time it can be safely stored

in months.

The individual storage times and

whether or not the lower or upper

value is applicable depend on the food

quality, its processing prior to freezing,

and the individual household‘s quality

requirements.

The lower values always apply to food

with a high fat content.

Freezer tray

You can use the freezer tray to gently freeze fruit (e.g. berries or

slices of fruit), herbs and vegetables

for serving or garnishing.

Spread the food out loosely on the tray

(the pieces of fruit will retain their shape

and will not stick together). Freeze for

10 to 12 hours then transfer to a freezer

bag or container and store in one of

the drawers.

Notes on freezing

• Pack food which you are freezing yourself in quantities appropriate

to your household. To ensure that the food freezes right through,

the following quantities should not be exceeded per package:

fruit, vegetables: up to 1 kg, meat: up to 2.5 kg.

• Pack frozen food in standard freezer bags or reuseable plastic,

metal or aluminium containers.

• Do not allow fresh food which is to be frozen to come into contact

with food already frozen. Always keep packs dry in order to avoid

them sticking together.

• A l way s w rit e t he da te a n d c onte n ts on the p ac k a nd do not exce e d

the stated storage time for the food.

• Do not freeze bottles and cans which contain carbonated drinks

as they might burst.

• Only take out as much food as is immediately required for thawing.

Use food which has been thawed in prepared meals as quickly

as possible.

Frozen food can be thawed in the following ways:

– in a fan oven

– in a microwave oven

– at room temperature

– in the refrigerator

Making ice cubes

• Fill the ice-cube tray with water.

• Place the ice-cube tray in the appliance

and leave it to freeze.

• The ice cubes can be removed from the

tray by twisting or by holding upside down

for a short time under running water.

Freezing with Superfrost

By activating the Superfrost function the temperature in the freezer

compartment will drop to the lowest attainable value. Thus food

can be rapidly frozen to the core and the quality is preserved.

• Press the Superfrost button

• Wait 24 hours.

• Place the fresh food in the

freezer.

• The Superfrost facility auto-

matically switches the fast

freezing procedure off after 65 hours.

You should not switch on the Superfrost function:

- when placing frozen food in the freezer;

- when freezing up to approx. 2 kg fresh food daily.

Freezing

Fresh food should be frozen to the

core as rapidly as possible. Frozen

food can also be given a cold boost.

This is provided by the „Superfrost“

facility.

The maximum amount of food wich

can be frozen in 24 hours is shown

on the type plate („Freezing capac-

ity...kg/24 hours").

Shutting your appliance down

If your appliance is to be shut down for any length of time, switch

it off and disconnect the plug or switch off or unscrew the fuse.

Clean the appliance and leave the door open in order to prevent

unpleasant smells.

The appliance complies with the relevant safety regulations and

EC Directives 2004/108/EC and 2006/95/EC.

All types and models are subject to continuous improvement and

the manufacturer therefore reserves the right to make modifica-

tions to the shape, equipment and technology.

Malfunctions

You may be able to rectify the following faults by checking

the possible causes yourself:

• Appliance does not function:

– Is the appliance switched on?

– Is the plug correctly fitted in the mains socket?

– Is the socket fuse intact?

• Loud running noise:

– Is the appliance set up firmly on the floor?

– Does the appliance cause nearby items of furniture or objects to

vibrate? Please note that noises caused by the refrigerant circuit

cannot be avoided.

• The temperature is not low enough:

– Is the temperature setting correct (see "Setting the temperature")?

– Have excessive amounts of fresh food been placed in the appli-

ance?

– Does the separately installed thermometer show the correct

reading?

– Is the ventilation system working properly?

– Is the appliance set up too close to a heat source?

• The inside of the appliance may feel warm in places

– That is quite normal. The dissipated heat is necessary for normal

operation of the appliance.

If none of the above causes apply

and you cannot rectify the fault

yourself, contact the nearest

customer service department

stating the type of appliance ➊,

PNC number ➋ and appliance

number ➌ as indicated on the

type plate.

The position of the type plate

is shown in the section entitled

Description of the appliance.

Cleaning

Before cleaning always switch o the appliance. Disconnect

from the mains or unscrew or switch o the fuse.

• Clean the inside, equipment parts and outer walls with lukewarm

water and a little detergent. Do not use abrasive or acid cleaners

or chemical solvents.

• Ensure that no cleaning water penetrates into the electrical

components or ventilation grille.

• Dry all parts well with a cloth.

• Do not damage or remove the type plate on the inside of the

appliance. It is very important for servicing purposes.

• Clean the drain hole in the refrigerator compartment with a thin

object, e.g. cotton swab or the like.

Do not use steam cleaners because of the risk

of injury and damage.

Defrosting

Refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator compartment de-

frosts automatically. The condensate

evaporates automatically through the

compressor heat.

Ensure that the water can flow without

hindrance through the hole above the

vegetable bins.

Freezer compartment

After the appliance has been in operation for some time, a layer

of frost or ice will form on the inside walls. This increases energy

consumption. Therefore defrost the freezer compartment regularly.

• Switch the appliance off to

defrost. Pull out the mains plug

or press the freezer compart-

ment- On / Off button
