Switching the appliance on

1. Connect the appliance to the mains supply.

2. When the appliance is plugged in at the

mains, the refrigerator compartment is

normally pre-set to an inside temperature of

5°C. When control light A (Standby) lights

up, press symbol A.

Adjusting the temperature

Instructions on adjusting the temperature can

be found in the product information enclosed.

Note:

The following factors can affect the inside

temperature of the refrigerator: the room

temperature, how often the door is opened,

if warm food is placed inside, and if the

refrigerator is not installed in an appropriate

location. The temperatures can then deviate

from the values indicated on the control panel.

Storing food in the refrigerator:

Food should be stored as shown in the figure.

A Cooked food

B Vegetables

C Fish, meat

D Fruit and vegetables

E Bottles

F Cheese

Note:

• Alwayscoverfoodsothatitdoesnotdry

out.

• Thespacebetweentheglassshelves

and the inside rear panel ensures the free

circulation of air.

• Makesurethatstoredfooddoesnottouch

the rear panel of the refrigerator.

• Donotstorewarmfoodintherefrigerator.

• Storeliquidsinsealedcontainers.

Warning:

Storing vegetables with a high water

content can cause condensation to form

on the glass shelves. This will not affect

the proper operation of the refrigerator.

USING THE REFRIGERATOR

The refrigerator is fitted with a Freshbox for the

proper storage of meat, fish and poultry.

The inside temperature of the Freshbox is

cooler than the rest of the refrigerator.

This means that fresh food (meat and fish)

can be stored for a considerably longer period

without having to deep-freeze it and without

the food’s nutritional value and freshness being

affected.

The optimum temperature of the Freshbox is

obtained from the average temperature setting.

Fruit and vegetables must not be stored in this

Freshbox as the temperature can drop below

0°C causing the water contained in the food to

freeze.

Temperature indicator (Variofresh)

• TheinsidetemperatureofthisFreshboxis

shown by a temperature indicator located

on the front panel of the Freshbox (Fig. 1).

• Thecolouredareaindicatestheideal

storage temperature for meat and fish.

• TheinsidetemperatureoftheFreshbox

becomes stable after approximately one

hour.

Warning:

The temperature of the Freshbox depends on

the temperature of the refrigerator. If the

temperature of the refrigerator is in the

range, press button (C) to change the

refrigerator temperature. The temperature of

the Freshbox will then change accordingly.

Taking out the Freshbox

If you want to use the refrigerator without the

Freshbox, carry out the following steps:

1. Remove the Freshbox fastening by taking

out the two side fastenings on the underside

(see Fig. 3).

2. Remove the Freshbox (see Fig. 2).

If you want to use the Freshbox again, carry out

the following steps:

1. Insert the Freshbox.

2. Re-install the cover panel of the Freshbox.

USING THE “FRESHBOX”

(if applicable)

Fig. 1

Fig. 2

Fig. 3

The Freshbox has been specially designed to stay at a low temperature and at the correct humidity

so that fresh food (for example meat, fish, fruit and winter vegetables) can be stored for longer.

Switching the Freshbox on and off

If the Freshbox is switched on, the inside temperature will be around 0°C.

The Freshbox can be switched on by pressing

the corresponding button (see figure) for at

least one second. The symbol lights up to

confirm it is switched on.

The illuminated symbol indicates that the

Freshbox for meat and fish is in operation. To

switch off the Freshbox, press the button again

for 1 second.

To ensure the Freshbox works properly:

- the refrigerator must be switched on,

- the temperature in the refrigerator must be between +2°C and +6°C,

- the Freshbox must be in its correct place so that it can be activated,

- the special functions (standby, cooling-off, vacation - if applicable) must be switched off.

If one of these special functions is selected, the Freshbox must be switched off manually. When

doing so, make sure that any fresh food stored inside is removed. If the Freshbox is not switched off

manually, it is automatically deactivated after approximately 8 hours.

Note:

- If the symbol does not light up when the Freshbox is activated, check that the Freshbox has been

pushedinproperly.Ifthesymbolstilldoesnotlightup,calltheAfter-SalesService.

- If the Freshbox is switched on and the drawer is opened, the illuminated symbol on the control

panel may automatically go out. Close the drawer and the symbol will light up again.

- RegardlessofthestatusoftheFreshbox,aquietsoundwillbeaudible.Thisiscompletelynormal.

- If the Freshbox is switched off, the inside temperature of the Freshbox will depend on the general

temperature of the refrigerator. In this case, it is recommended to use the Freshbox to store cold-

resistant fruit and vegetables (forest fruits, apples, apricots, carrots, spinach, salad, etc.)

Important: if food with a high water content is stored in the Freshbox when it is switched on, this

can cause condensation to form on the shelves. If this happens, switch the Freshbox off temporarily.

When storing small foods and containers in the Freshbox, make sure that they do not accidentally

fall in the space between the drawer and the rear panel of the refrigerator.

Removing the Freshbox:

The Freshbox can be taken out to make more room in the

refrigerator. To do this, proceed as follows:

- To make it easier to take the Freshbox out, it is

recommended to empty (and if necessary remove) the two

lower shelves.

- Switch off the Freshbox.

- Remove the drawer and the white plastic tray under the

Freshbox.

Note: The upper shelf and the side panels cannot be removed.

MakesurewhenreinstallingtheFreshboxthatthewhiteplastictrayundertheFreshboxisput

back before inserting the drawer and switching the Freshbox back on. To optimise energy use, it is

recommended to switch off and remove the Freshbox.

Clean the Freshbox and its components regularly with a cloth and a solution of lukewarm water

andspecialneutralcleaningagentforcleaningtheinsideofrefrigerators.Donotimmersethewhite

plastic shelf under the drawer in the water.

Remove the drawer prior to cleaning (including external cleaning) to interrupt the power

supply to the Freshbox.

USING THE

FREEZER

(if applicable)

Fig. 1

Fig. 2

Before defrosting, disconnect the

appliance from the mains supply or switch

it off.

The refrigerator defrosts automatically.

Occasionally, water droplets will

appear on the inside rear panel of the

refrigerator; this indicates the automatic

defrosting phase. The defrost water is

automatically drained to a drainage outlet

and then collected in a container where it

evaporates.

Clean the drainage outlet regularly with the

tool supplied with the refrigerator to make sure

that the water can drain off continuously and

undisturbed. (Fig. 1)

Defrosting the freezer compartment

(if applicable)

The freezer compartment should be defrosted

once or twice a year, or if an excessively thick

layer of frost builds up.

The build-up of frost is completely normal. The

amount and speed of frost formation depends

on environmental conditions and how often the

doorisopened.Abuild-upoffrostparticularly

in the upper part of the freezer compartment is

normal and does not affect the operation of the

freezer in any way.
