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.

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
department, as unauthorised work could prove
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canbeusedbychildrenof8years
old and over, and also by persons with restricted
physical, sensory or mental capacity or lack of
experienceandknowledge,iftheyaresupervised
or have been instructed on safe use of the appli-
ance and understand the resulting risks. Children
must not be allowed to play with the appliance.
Cleaning and user maintenance must not be
carried out by children without supervision.
•Avoidprolongedskincontactwithcoldsurfaces

ings or grille.
- Donotplaceapplianceinareasofdirectsunlightornexttoa
cooker,radiator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.
- Firstcoolwarmfoodtoroomtemperaturebeforestoringit.
- Defrost frozen food in the refrigerator.
Freezer compartment
- Ensure that all food is well packed and covered for storage. This
will prevent frost from forming.
- If there is a thick layer of frost in the appliance: defrost the ap-
pliance.
Making ice cubes

The ice cubes can be removed from the tray by twisting or by
holding upside down for a short time under running water.
Freezer compartment
You can store frozen food for several months, make ice cubes
and freeze fresh food in the freezer compartment at a temperature
of-18°Candlower.
The air temperature in the compartment, measured by thermom-
eter or other instruments, may fluctuate.
Freezing

Malfunctions
• F0, F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7, F8 or F9 appears in the display.
The appliance has suffered a fault.
Contact the customer service department.
• When inserting the mains plug, the refrigeration unit does
not switch on, but a value is shown in the temperature
display.
Demo mode is activated.
Contact the customer service department.
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 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notethatnoisescausedbytherefrigerant
circuit cannot be avoided.
The temperature is not low enough:
Is the temperature setting correct (see "Setting the tempera-
ture")?
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?
If none of the above causes apply
and you cannot rectify the fault
yourself, contact the nearest
customer service department
stating the type designation
1,
PNCnumber
2 and appliance
number
3 as indicated on the
type plate.
The position of the type plate is shown in the section entitled
Description of the appliance.
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.
Cleaning
Before cleaning, always switch off the appliance. Pull out
the plug or switch off the fuse!
• Cleantheinsideandequipmentpartswith
lukewarm water and a little detergent. Do
not use chemical solvents or any cleaning
agents containing sand or acid.
•Ensurethatnocleaningwaterpenetrates
into the electrical components or ventila-
tion grille.
• Dryallpartswellwithacloth.
• Donotdamageorremovethetypeplate

important for servicing purposes.
•Cleanthedrainholeintherefrig-
erator compartment with a thin
object,e.g.cottonswaborthelike.
CAUTION
Risk of damage to the appliance components
and risk of injury due to hot steam.
Do not use steam cleaning equipment to clean
the appliance.
Defrosting
The refrigerator compartment defrosts automatically.
Freezer compartment
After a long period of operation, a layer of frost or ice can build
up inside the freezer compartment. This increases energy con-
sumption.
• Pull out the plug or switch off the fuse!
• Wrapthefrozenfoodinpaperorblanketsandstoreinacool
place.
•Leavetheappliancedoorandthefreezercompartmentdoor
open when defrosting.
• Afteradefrostingtimeofapprox.20minutes,thelayeroffrost
or ice can be detached from the interior container by hand and
removed.
• Afterdefrosting,mopup the remainingwater and cleanthe

CAUTION
Risk of damage to the refrigerant circuit and
flammability hazard due to leaking refrigerant.
Do not use any mechanical devices or other
artificial aids for defrosting other than those
recommended by the manufactur er.

Important
When using decor grilles, it must be taken into account
that the clear ventilation cross-section corresponds
to the sum of the individual openings in the grille.
A cut-out section of merely 200 cm² for installing the
ventilation grille is thus not sucient.
