Electrical connection
Before initial start-up, refer to the appliance rating plate to ascertain if sup-
ply voltage and current values correspond with those of the mains at the
installation location.
e.g.:  AC 220 ... 240 V 50 Hz or
220 ... 240 V~ 50 Hz
(i.e. 220 to 240 volts alternating current, 50 Hertz)
The rating plate is inside the appliance on the left.
A correctly installed, earthed socket is required for the electrical supply. The
supply must have a fuse rating of at least 10 Amps.
If the socket is not accessible once the appliance is built in, the electrical
installation must include suitable means of isolating the appliance from the
mains (e.g. fuse, cut-out, current trip or similar with a minimum contact
separation of 3 mm).
Attention:The mains connection cable may only be replaced by a skilled
electrician. Please contact your dealer or our customer service department
for repairs.
Prior to Initial Start–Up
 Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial start-
up (see section: “Cleaning and Care”).



12. Dismantle the handles, by sliding
the handle-cover, by unscrewing
its side and middle screws and
reassemble them on the opposite
side. Cover the holes left open
with the plugs contained in the
documentation pack.

F COOLMATIC button
Temperature setting buttons
The temperature is adjusted using the „B“ and „D“  buttons. These buttons
are connected to the temperature display.
 The temperature display is switched over from the display of the ACTUAL
temperature (Temperature display is illuminated) to the display of the DESI-
RED temperature (Temperature display flashes) by pressing one of the two
buttons, „B“ or „D“ . 
 Each time one of the two buttons is pressed again the DESIRED temperatu-
re is adjusted by 1 °C. The DESIRED temperature must be reached within 24
hours.
If neither button is pressed, the temperature display automatically switches
back after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) to the display of the ACTUAL tem-
perature.
DESIRED temperature means: 
The temperature that has been selected for inside the fridge. The DESIRED
temperature is indicated by flashing numbers.
ACTUAL temperature means: 
The temperature display indicates the current temperature inside the fridge.
The ACTUAL temperature is indicated with illuminated numbers.
Temperature display
The temperature display can indicate several pieces of information in the
fridge (ACTUAL temperature) is displayed. 


 
						

							34
 During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the fridge
(ACTUAL temperature) is displayed. 
 When the temperature is being adjusted a flashing display indicates the
fridge temperature currently set (DESIRED temperature). 
Starting Up - Setting the Temperature
1. Plug the mains plug into the mains socket. 
2. Press ON/OFF button. The appliances start.
3. Press either the „B“ or „D“ button. The temperature display switches over
and the DESIRED temperature currently set flashes on the temperature
display.
4. Set the required temperature by pressing the „B“ or „D“ buttons (see section
Temperature setting buttons). The temperature display will immediately
show the changed setting. Each time the button is pressed the temperatu-
re is adjusted by 1 °C.
From a food safety point of view +5 °C should be considered sufficiently
cold for storing food in the fridge.
5. Once the required temperature has been set, after a short period (approx. 5
sec.) the temperature display will change and again indicate the current
ACTUAL temperature inside the fridge. The display will change from flashing
to continuous illumination.
Information!When the setting is changed, the compressor does not start
immediately if automatic defrosting is currently taking place. As the stora-
ge temperature within the fridge is reached quickly you can store food
immediately after switching on.
COOLMATIC 
The COOLMATIC function is suited for quick cooling of large quantities of
goods in the refrigerator.
1. The COOLMATIC function is switched on by pressing the COOLMATIC but-
ton. The yellow light illuminates.
The COOLMATIC function now provides for intensive cooling. A DESIRED
temperature of +2 °C is automatically selected. The COOLMATIC function is
ended automatically after a period of 6 hours. 
2. The COOLMATIC function can be ended manually at any time by pressing
the COOLMATIC button again. The yellow light goes out.
Holiday function
The holiday function sets the temperature at +15°C. This function allows
you to keep the refrigerator shut and empty during a long holiday period
(e.g. the summer holidays) without the formation of a bad smell.
1. To turn on the holiday function, press button (B).

Interior Accessories
Storage shelves
 You should always slide one of the full size glass storage shelf into the
lowest set of guides, above the fruit and the vegetable containers, and
keep it in this position.
 The height of the storage shelves
can be adjusted.
 To do this pull the storage shelf
forward until it can be swivelle-
dupwards or downwards and
removed.
 Please do the same in reverse to
insert the shelf at a different hei-
ght.
Adjusting the upper door rack
 Depending on the food stored, the upper door racks can be changed to
other holders or removed. Take out the refrigerators food, press the door
racks digonally upwards at their edges, reposition them, and press them
back into place.

2. Press continuosly button (B) until the letter “H” (Holiday) appears on the
temperature indicator. The temperature indicator can modify the displayed
temperature up to +8°C, 1° at a tim. 8°C will be followed by the letter “H”.
Now the refrigerator is in the “holiday” function in the energy-saving mode.
The fridge compartment must be empty with holiday function on.
Turning OFF the refrigeration compartment
To turn off the refrigerator press the button “B” several times until the sym-
bol “OF” appears in the temperature indicator (C). Press the button “B” again
for about 5 seconds. In the temperature indicator there is a “count down”
i.e. a backward counting from “3” to “1”. When “1” appears the refrigerator
is turned off. The temperature indicator switches off. 
Moisture regulator
There is an adjustable air grille in front of the shelf above the fruit and vege-
table compartments.  The opening in the ventilation slots can be adjusted
with the slider. Right slider: Ventilation slots opened.
With the ventilation slots open, more
air circulation results in a lower air
moisture content in the fruit and
vegetable compartments. Left slider:
Ventilation slots closed.

Fresh food  refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
 do not store warm food or evaporating liquide in the refrigeator
 do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
 Position food so that air can circuiate freely round it.
Useful hints:
Meat(all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above
the vegetable drawer(s)For safety, store in this way only one or two days
at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc: these should be covered and may be placed
on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables:these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the
special drawer(s) provided.
Butter and cheese:these should be placed in special airtight containers or
wapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as pos-
sible.
Milk bootles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle
rack on the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in
the refrigerator. When the ventilation slots are closed, the natural moisture content of the
food in the fruit and vegetable compartments is preserved for longer.
Drawer
The drawer is suitable for storing
fruit and vegetables. There is a
separator inside the drawer that
can be placed in different posi-
tions to allow for the subdivision
best suited to personal needs.
There is a grille on the bottom of
the drawer to separate the fruit
and vegetables from any humi-
dity that may form on the bot-
tom surface. 
To remove the drawer, use the side handles (as shown in the
drawing). All parts inside the drawer can be removed for cleaning
purposes.

Freezing and storing frozen food
You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself.
Important!
 The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18 °C or colder
before freezing food.
 Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The free-
zing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be frozen
within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food several days in a
row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4 of that on the
rating plate. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen
right through to the core as quickly as possible.
 Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause
increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
 Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufacturer.
 Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals)
may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
 Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures.
There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flamma-
ble materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill car-
tridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.
 Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst when
the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even explode!
Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc. in the free-
zer. Exception: high alcohol content spirits can be stored in the freezer.
 All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not
dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of
other frozen goods occurs.
Caution!Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could free-
ze to the food.
1. To achieve faster freezing of food or to freeze the maximum allowed quan-
tity, depress the ambient switch 12 hours before loading the food without
modifying the thermostat setting.
2. Place the food to be frozen in the top drawer.
3. Not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely neces-
sary.
