IMPORTANT!

If the fridge-freezer you have purchased is replacing

an older refrigerator or freezer still ﬁtted with a snap

catch or lock, you should render this lock unservice-

able before throwing the appliance away or putting it

out for environment-friendly refuse collection. In this

way you can prevent children locking themselves in

when playing and thus endangering their lives.

Please make sure that the pipelines of your fridge-

freezer are not damaged before collection for envi-

ronment-friendly disposal.

Appliance packaging

information

All used materials are environmentally compatible!

They can be safely disposed of or burnt in a refuse

incinerator!

Regarding the materials: the plastics can also be

recycled and are marked as follows:

>PE< for polyethylene e.g. as used in the outer

wrapping and bags inside

>PS< for polystyrene foam e.g. as used in the

packing; this material is basically CFC-free

The cardboard parts are made of waste paper and

should be put back into the waste paper collection

system.

General instructions

You have just purchased a home fridge-freezer

which has been produced according to the stand-

ards applicable to these appliances.

During manufacture, the necessary measures have

been taken as required by the Appliance Safety Act

(GSG), the Accident Prevention Regulations for

Refrigerating Installations (VBG 20), and the Speciﬁ-

cations of the Institute of German Electrical Engi-

neers (VDE).

The refrigeration circuit has been checked for

leakage.

This appliance complies with the following EC

Directives:

- 73/23/EEC of 19.02.1973 - Low-Voltage Directive

- 89/336/EEC of 03.05.1989 (including Amendment

Directive 92/31/EEC) - EMC (Electromagnetic

Compatibily) Directive.

Before starting up, we recommend you to read

the following Operating Instructions, since only

by doing so can you beneﬁt from all the advantages

offered by your fridge-freezer. Please unfold the

illustration pages on the cover to enable you to

compare the text and pictures alongside.

Removing the adhesive tapes

The doors are secured to the housing with adhesive

tapes. Remove any adhesive tape residues with a

suitable petroleum-based cleansing agent.

Commercial use

Should you use your home fridge-freezer commer-

cially or for purposes other than refrigeration,

freezing, and deep frozen storage of food and

drinks, you must observe the legal requirements

applicable to your area.

Location

The most suitable location is a dry room which can

be ventilated.

The refrigerating unit needs a good supply of air and

proper ventilation in order to function properly.

Please make sure that the air-vents in the plinth

underneath the kitchen cabinet and the air-shafts

behind it are not covered over or blocked.

Ambient temperature has an effect on the power

consumption of the unit. The appliance should

therefore:

- not stand in the direct sunshine, or close to a

radiator or cooker

- stand in a position where the ambient tempera-

ture corresponds with the climate category for

which the appliance is designed.

You will ﬁnd data on this on the rating plate, which is

in the interior of the appliance on the left hand side.

It will consist of one of the following:

Climate category Ambient temperature

from ... to ...

SN +10 to +32°C

N +16 to +32°C

ST +18 to +38°C

T +18 to +43°C.

Your fridge-freezer needs air

The refrigerating unit does not require any maintenance.

All it needs is proper ventilation. Air intake takes place

through the base of the upright kitchen unit.

Provision for air outlet must be made at the top

behind the upright kitchen unit. In such a unit, a

clear air inlet and outlet cross-section of at least

200 cm

must be provided in the base and towards

the room ceiling.

Ensure that these openings are not obstructed by

base panels, etc.!

Before using for the ﬁrst time

In common with all new appliances, your fridge-

freezer will smell "new". For this reason, the interior

of the fridge-freezer and all accessories should be

cleaned before use (see also "Cleaning and care").

Electrical connection

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE

EARTHED

Please ensure that the voltage and current indicated

on the rating plate agree with the voltage of your

electricity supply.

220/240 volts (i. e. 220/240 V AC).

If your appliance has been equipped with a mains

lead with a moulded-on type plug, you must comply

with the following regulations: The plug moulded on

to the cord incorporates a fuse. For replacement,

use a 13 amp BS 1362 fuse. Only ASTA approved

or certiﬁed fuses should be used. The fuse cover/

carrier must be replaced in the event of changing

the fuse. The plug must not be used if the fuse

cover/ carrier is lost. A replacement cover/carrier

must be obtained from an electrical goods retailer. If

the socket outlets in your home are not suitable for

the plug ﬁtted to the appliance, then the plug must

be cut off and an appropriate one ﬁtted. When

ﬁtting the plug please note the following points:

Important

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accord-

ance with the following code:

Green and Yellow Earth

Blue Neutral

Brown Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this

appliance may not correspond with the coloured

markings identifying the terminals in your plug,

proceed as follows:

1. The wire which is coloured green and yellow

must be connected to the earth terminal in your

plug, which is marked with the letter E or by the

earth symbol or coloured green, or green

and yellow.

2. The wire which is coloured brown must be con-

nected to the live terminal which is marked with

the letter L or coloured red.

3. The wire which is coloured blue must be con-

nected to the neutral terminal which is marked

with the letter N or coloured black.

When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire

are securely retained in each terminal. Do not forget

to tighten the mains lead clamp on the plug.

Warning! A cut-off plug inserted into a 13 amp

socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard. Ensure

that the cut-off plug is disposed of safely.

Voltage 220/240 V AC

Fuse rating 13 amps

See rating plate for further information.

Preparing the upright kitchen

unit

Fig. 2

Before installing the upright furniture unit, the back

panel must be removed where ﬁtted as a transport

safety device.

To ensure satisfactory operation and sealing of the

appliance, the upright kitchen unit with its interme-

diate panels must be exactly at right-angles in all

directions and must be aligned vertically.

The doors of the upright kitchen unit should be

aligned before the appliance is installed, and the

hinge screws should be tightened.

The distance between the kitchen unit door and unit

sides should be 1 mm.

Rehingeing the door

During transport, the doors are secured with bolts.

Unscrew the LH upper and lower bolts with a

screw-driver (Fig. 3). Both doors can now be

opened to the right.

If the doors are to be opened to the left to ensure

better operation, you should also unscrew the bolts

on the RH side and unhinge the upper door

upwards.

Unscrew the central door pivot and ﬁt it on the left

(Fig. 4).

Remount the upper door and screw in the upper

bolt on the LH side (Fig. 5). Unscrew the lower bolt

on the RH side and screw it in on the LH side. Both

doors can now be opened to the left.

Installing, aligning, and ﬁxing

Figs. 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10

Insert the fridge-freezer in the recess of the upright

kitchen unit until the upper limit strip (A) bears

against the unit ceiling or intermediate panel and

the lower door pivot (B) (Fig. 6) closes ﬂush with the

unit ﬂoor at the front.

If a gap remains owing to a greater recess height

between the limit strip above and unit ceiling, this

can be closed by insertion of the supplied proﬁle

sealing strip (C) (Fig. 7).

Slide and align a fridge-freezer with doors hinged on

the right until it bears against the LH side (Fig. 8)

and a fridge-freezer with doors hinged on the left

until it bears against the RH side.

Screw in mounting screws (D) above and below.

Insert ventilation grille (E).

Cut supplied the sealing strip (F) (Fig. 9) to length

and press in between the appliance and kitchen

unit side wall.

Seal mounting and hinge holes with supplied plugs

(G) (Fig. 10).

Connecting the door

Figs. 11,12, 13 and 14

Mounting positions for slide pieces (H) (Fig. 11)

should be marked on the appliance doors.

Drillholes of 2.7 mm dia. should be drilled and the

slide pieces screwed on, 2 per door. Open kitchen

unit and appliance doors 90° (Fig. 12). Place guide

pieces (K) on slide pieces (H), prepunch mounting

drillholes 26-30 mm away from the kitchen unit

door edge depending on the furniture sidewall

thickness, and screw on guide pieces (Fig. 13).

Check closing function of doors, and re-adjust slide

pieces (H) and guide pieces (K) as necessary.

Insert cover (O) on lower door pivot (Fig. 14).

Starting up and temperature

regulation

Fig. 15

Insert the plug of your fridge-freezer in a plug socket

with protective earth contact wired as prescribed.

The knob for temperature selection is located in the

upper RH part of the refrigerator compartment (A)

(Fig. 15).

The mark to which the knob must be set is located

on top of the thermostat housing (Fig. 15/arrow).

Setting "O" means: Off.

Rotation in direction "1": Lighting on, refriger-

ating unit on, the latter then operating automatically.

Setting "1" means: Highest temperature, warmest

setting.

Setting "6" means: Lowest temperature, coldest

setting.

The internal temperature is strongly affected by the

ambient temperature, loading, and frequent door-

opening. If the setting is changed, the refrigerating

unit of your fridge-freezer does not start immedi-

ately if automatic defrosting is in progress.

When starting your fridge-freezer for the ﬁrst time,

we recommend selection of setting "6" = lowest

temperature, coldest setting for 3-4 hours.

The necessary refrigerator and freezer compart-

ment temperatures are then rapidly attained. After

3-4 hours, you can set back the knob to a medium

setting between 2 and 4.

Setting when the room

temperature is below 16 °C *)

Fig. 15

In the cold season in unheated rooms, the switch

(B) (Fig. 15) should be switched on. The red pilot

lamp in the switch comes on.

Through engagement of a low heating capacity of

8 W in the refrigerator compartment, it is ensured

that, at a low room temperature, the running time of

the refrigerating unit is prolonged and the storage

temperature of -18°C is attained in the freezer

compartment.

*) Not on all models

Important!

At a room temperature above 16 °C, the switch (B)

should be switched off again (red light goes out),

since this causes higher power consumption.

Important note!

High room/ambient temperatures, coldest tempera-

ture selector setting, and high refrigerator compart-

ment loading may cause continuous operation of

the refrigerating unit and frosting of the refrigerator

compartment rear wall.

Set the temperature selector to the warmest setting

(setting 4 or 5) to start the automatic defrosting

sequence in the refrigerator compartment.

For safety reasons (such as the risk of an explosion!)

containers containing inﬂammable gases, e.g.

aerosol cans or cigarette lighter reﬁlls, must never be

placed in the freezer or the refrigerator compartment.

Adjusting the storage racks

Fig. 17a

Storage shelves made either of glass or of plastic,

are included, depending on which version of which

model you have bought. You must push one of

these shelves into the lowest set of guides, just

above the containers for fruit and vegetables, and it

must stay in this position. If you wish to change the

distance between the other storage shelves, please

raise the shelf at the back and pull it slightly

forwards until it can be swivelled upwards or down-

wards and taken out. To insert it in a different posi-

tion, please follow the same procedure in reverse.

VARIO glass shelf

Fig. 17b

If, for instance, you wish to store bottles, cans, or

jars in the upright position, please move the front

half of the VARIO glass shelf (if ﬁtted) to a different

level. You will thus gain the necessary space to

store tall items on the shelf below.

Adjusting the door rack

Fig. 18

Depending on the food stored, some door racks

can be changed to other holders or removed. Take

out the refrigerated food, press the door racks

upwards, reposition them, and press them back

into place.

Freezing fresh food

and storing frozen food

You can use the freezer compartment of your

fridge-freezer combination for freezing of fresh food

yourself.

Before ﬁlling the fridge-freezer for the ﬁrst time with

frozen food (deep-frozen food), an inside tempera-

ture of -18 °C must have been attained. Were

commend you to place a commercially available

thermometer with a measurement range of +40°C/-

40°C in the central storage compartment or on the

frozen food. If you want to freeze fresh food your-

self, please observe the following instructions to be

sure of obtaining the best results.

Freeze only sound fresh food. Do not freeze too

large a quantity at any one time. The quality of the

food is best preserved when it is frozen right

through to the core as quickly as possible. The

freezing capacity in 24 hours indicated on the rating

plate should not be exceeded.

If you want to freeze fresh food on several consecu-

tive days, this should be limited to 2/3 to 3/4 of the

indicated quantity. If you want to utilize the

maximum freezing capacity, set the knob (Fig. 15)

to setting "6". For smaller quantities of up to 2 kg,

the knob need not be changed.

Place the packaged food to be frozen in the

upper storage compartment (9) (Fig. 16).

Take special care not to mix already frozen

foods with those not yet frozen.

After around 24 hours (earlier for smaller quantities),

set back the knob of the temperature selector to

the normal setting (between 2 and 4). After freezing,

you can place the frozen food at the appropriate

freezing level.

If further food is to be frozen, you must restack the

frozen food in the storage compartments (8)

(Fig. 16) to obtain free freezing space.

Note for test centres:

Stacking diagrams for determination of freezing

capacity and warm-up time can be requested direct

from the manufacturer.

Icemaking

Fill the ice-tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in

storage compartments (8) or (9), and allow it to

freeze. The ice-cubes can be easily loosened by

twisting the ice-tray or by holding it for a short time

under running water. To ensure that you always

have stocks available, the ice-cubes can be stored

in the ice-box in the freezer compartment.

Storing frozen food in the

freezer compartment and the

do's and don'ts of

storing frozen food

Once the freezing process is completed, deep-

frozen storage takes place in the temperature range

below -18 °C.

For storage of already frozen food, it is imperative to

note the storage time speciﬁed by the manufacturer

on the packaging. Make sure that only packaged

food is stored in the freezer, since unpackaged food

will soon dry out when exposed to the extreme cold.

With the exception of spirits and drinks containing a

higher percentage of alcohol, beverages in glass

bottles, particularly soft drinks containing carbon

dioxide, juices, beer, wine, etc., should not be stored

in the freezer. When the contents freeze, the glass

bottles will crack or even burst.

Never handle deep-frozen food with wet hands.

Your hands could easily become frozen to the food.

Never use the freezer as a means of cooling hot

meals, since this causes heavy frost formation

inside and an increase in electricity consumption.

Frozen food symbols

Fig. 19

Wharever possible, separate the frozen food in the

compartments and place the supplied rider oppo-

site the food type symbol concerned. This will give

you a better overall view of the food stored, will

enable you to avoid excessive door opening, and

will save you power. The ﬁgures beside the symbols

indicate the maximum storage time in months alto-

gether for several types of frozen food.

Taking out the drawers

The storage baskets have an antitilt feature and are

retained in their end position. This assures safe and

convenient insertion and removal of frozen food.

To remove the storage baskets, withdraw them as

far as their catch, tilt them upwards, and pull them

out forwards.

Opening the freezer

compartment door -

hint on magnetic door seal

After opening and closing the door of the freezer

compartment whilst the latter is in operation, you

will not immediately be able to open the door again,

since a vacuum will have developed inside, keeping

the door closed until the pressures inside and

outside the door have equalized. After a few

minutes, you can easily re-open the door.

Defrosting

Figs. 20 and 21

The evaporator on the rear wall of the refrigerator

compartment is defrosted fully automatically. The

water evaporates automatically. This automatic

feature thus saves you laborious work.

Make sure that the drain opening of the drip gutter

(Fig. 20) is always clear and the thaw water can

ﬂow out unimpeded.

Once to twice a year or whenever heavy frost builds

up the freezer compartment must be defrosted

and cleaned.

For this purpose the appliance should be

unplugged or otherwise disconnected from the

mains supply (by removing the fuse) and the door

left ajar.

In order to avoid excessive warming of the frozen

food, you should operate your the appliance on

regulator setting "6" for about 6 to 12 hours before-

hand, thus creating a "reserve" of coldness in the

frozen food.

The food still located in the freezer compartment is

then packed together as tightly as possible,

wrapped in several layers of newspaper, and stored

in a cool place.

You can collect the thaw water from the freezer

compartment by inserting the plastic scraper deliv-

ered with the fridge-freezer into the slit provided the

middle of the appliance underneath the drip gutter

and placing a bowl or similar underneath it (Fig. 21).

You can accelerate the defrosting process by

placing a bowl of hot water in the freeezer compart-

ment and by removing detaching pieces of ice

before complete defrosting. Never attempt to accel-

erate the defrosting process by using other heat

sources, such as electric heating and warming

appliances, candles, or the like! After defrosting,

clean the interior of your fridge-freezer and its

accessories with lukewarm water to which a mild,

non abrasive detergent can be added. Finally, wash

with clean water and wipe dry.

Restart your fridge-feezer. The frozen food can be

loaded after around 30 minutes.

Cleaning and care

Your fridge-freezer should be cleaned at regular

intervals. This should preferably occur when the

appliance is empty or partly loaded. All food pack-

ages remaining in the freezer compartment,

hermetically packed if possible, should then be

wrapped in several layers of newspaper and stored

in a cool place (e. g. cellar).

To clean, take all storage baskets out of the freezer

compartment.

During cleaning, the appliance must basically not be

connected to the mains supply (pull out mains plug

or remove fuse).

For safety reasons, this appliance must never be

cleaned with steam-cleaning equipment. Moisture

could ﬁnd its way into the electronic components,

and steam could cause damage to the plastic

parts.

Make sure that the drain opening of the drip gutter

in the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment

(Fig. 20) is always free. If the water drain opening

becomes choked, it is to be cleaned with the aid of

a wire. Some organic solvents as well as essential

oils (e. g. juice from lemon and orange peel, butyric

acid) attack the plastic parts.

Do not forget that, even in the refrigerator, food

stored too long may spoil. To prevent any odours

from forming, the contents should therefore be

checked from time to time (including accessories)

and thoroughly cleaned with lukewarm water to

which a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent

containing no acetic acid can be added. Finally,

wash with clean water and wipe dry. After cleaning

of the refrigerator compartment, promptly recon-

nect the appliance to the power supply (see section

on Starting up).

At least once a year, you should thoroughly clean

the heat-emitting condenser (heat exchanger), the

metal grille on the rear wall of your appliance.

When not in use

If your fridge-freezer is to remain unused for any

length of time, it must be disconnected (unplugged)

from the electricity supply.

The appliance should then be cleaned thoroughly

and the appliance doors left ajar to prevent any

odours from forming.

Internal lighting

Fig. 22

Light bulb data: 220 V, 15 W

E 14 socket (never insert a bulb of more than 15 W).

To change the light bulb (A):

Pull out mains plug or remove fuse from

holder. Untwist light bulb and replace from below.

Faults and servicing

In order to keep your appliance in perfectly

safe condition, you should arrange for repairs,

particularly to the "live" parts, to be carried

out only by qualiﬁed electricians.

In the event of a break-down you should therefore

contact your electrical dealer or our Customer

Service Centre.

Before calling the Service Centre, please check

whether there is power in the mains socket (e. g. by

plugging a lamp in). Your local electrician will repair

any defects in the mains supply.

If the defect lies in the appliance, please inform the

nearest Service Centre. In order to avoid unneces-

sary travel or expense, please state:

- Model description

- E-number

- F-number of your appliance.

You will ﬁnd these data on the rating plate on the left

inside your appliance. We recommend that you

enter them here:

- Model description. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Please note: We have to make a charge if our

Customer Service technician is called in for no

adequate reason, even if the guarantee has

not yet expired.

Minor repairs that you

can carry out yourself

- Spare parts:

Spare parts can be ordered from the service

centre. You can ﬁt these yourself without any

special skill or training, e. g.

- internal equipment parts, such as closed con-

tainers,

egg holders,

door racks,

fruit and vegetable drawers,

storage racks,

ice-box and ice-tray.

Hints on proper use

Store your food, depending on type and sensitivity,

in the appropriate temperature zones. This will

enable you to achieve an optimum storage duration

(see "Correct storage", Fig. 16). Ensure good pack-

aging and coverage of food intended for storage in

the refrigerator to retain ﬂavour, colour, moisture,

and freshness.

Clean the refrigerator compartment regularly to

ensure hygienic storage of food and to prevent

undesirable odours from forming.

Note the storage duration of deep-frozen food in

the freezer compartment to avoid quality impair-

ment.

Never place hot food in the refrigerator compart-

ment or freezer compartment for cooling.

Hints on energy-saving

One or two additional hints on energy-saving are

given below:

- Do not install your fridge-freezer next to a radia-

tor, oven, or in direct sunlight, since, through

high ambient temperature, the temperature reg-

ulator switches on the refrigerating unit more fre-

quently and for longer.

- Do not place any hot food in the refrigerator

compartment or freezer compartment - ﬁrst

allow the food to cool to room temperature.

- Do not open the doors unnecessarily and close

them again as quickly as possible.

- Check the storage temperature in the freezer

compartment with a thermometer.

- Set the most energy-saving frozen food storage

temperature (see "Starting up and temperature

regulation").

- Ensure good ventilation.

- Keep the heat-emitting condenser (heat

exchanger), the metal grille on the rear wall of

your appliance, clean. Thoroughly clean it at

least once per year.

If you ever move house

If your freezer compartment is not fully loaded, pack

all the frozen food in concentrated fashion at a few

storage levels.

Switch the temperature selector knob to setting "6"

24 hours before the removal van leaves to build up

a low-temperature reserve in the frozen food.

Secure the doors against opening during transport.

Place your fridge-freezer on the removal van last so

that you can unload it ﬁrst and replug it into the

mains supply.
