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

• 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.

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
5
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.

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.

The freezer can also be used to freeze
fresh food. The amount of fresh food that can
be frozen within a 24 hour period is shown on
the specification plate.
Freezing fresh food
• Ifthefreezercompartmenthasashelf,arrange
the food to be frozen according to Fig. 1,
otherwise arrange it according to Fig. 2 if it does
not have a shelf.
• Placethefoodinthemiddleofthefreezer
compartment
, making sure that it does
not touch food that is already frozen and keeping
a distance of approx. 20 mm from the already
frozen food (Fig. 1 and 2).
• Forapplianceswithafreezercompartment
, press button (E) to switch on the Fast
Freezing function; the white control light (E) lights
up and stays on while the freezing process takes
place.
• Afterapprox.26hours,thefunctionautomatically
switches off and the white control light (E) goes
out. The function can be deactivated by pressing
button (E).
The storage time in months for fresh frozen
food is given in the table on the right.
When buying deep-frozen goods, pay attention
to the following:
• Thepackagingmustnotbedamaged,asthis
might affect the preservation of the contents. If
the packaging is inflated or has wet patches, the
product may not have been stored properly and
the contents could have defrosted.
• Putdeep-frozengoodsinyourshoppingtrolley
last and always transport them in a cool bag.
• Whenyougethome,putdeep-frozengoodsin

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.
Defrostingshouldbecarriedoutwhenthere
are not many frozen items stored in the freezer.
• Openthedoor,removeallfooditemsand
store them in a cool place or in a cool bag.
• Leavethedooropentoletthefrostdefrost.
