Caring for the environment  
Disposal of the packing  
material  
Disposal of your old appliance  
Electrical and electronic appliances  
often contain materials which, if  
handled or disposed of incorrectly,  
could be potentially hazardous to  
human health and to the environment.  
They are, however, essential for the  
correct functioning of your appliance.  
Please do not therefore dispose of it  
with your household waste.  
The transport and protective packing  
has been selected from materials which  
are environmentally friendly for  
disposal, and should be recycled.  
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,  
bags etc. are disposed of safely and  
kept out of the reach of babies and  
young children. Danger of suffocation!  
Please dispose of it at your local  
community waste collection / recycling  
centre or contact your dealer for  
advice. Ensure that it presents no  
danger to children while being stored  
for disposal.  
Take care not to damage the pipework  
at the back of it before or during  
transportation to an authorised  
collection depot.  
In this way, refrigerant in the pipework  
and oil in the compressor will be  
contained and will not leak out into the  
environment.

This appliance complies with all  
relevant local and national safety  
requirements. Improper use can,  
however, present a risk of both  
personal injury and material  
damage.  
This appliance is not intended for  
~
use by persons (including children)  
with reduced physical, sensory or  
mental capabilities, or lack of  
experience and knowledge, unless they

appliance.  
Safety with children  
This appliance is not a toy! To avoid  
~
the risk of injury, do not allow children  
to play with it or near it, or to play with  
the controls. Neither should they be  
allowed to swing on the door. Please  
supervise young children whilst you are  
using it. Older children may only use

Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas which  
is environmentally friendly. Although it  
is flammable, it does not damage the  
ozone layer and does not increase the  
greenhouse effect. The use of this  
coolant has, however, led to a slight  
increase in the noise level of the  
appliance. In addition to the noise of  
the compressor, you might be able to  
hear the coolant flowing around the  
system. This is unavoidable, but does  
not have any adverse effect on the  
performance of the appliance. Care  
must be taken during transportation  
and setting up of the appliance that no  
parts of the cooling system are  
damaged. Leaking coolant can  
damage the eyes.  
make sure that the connection data on  
the data plate (voltage and connected  
load) match the mains electricity  
supply.  
This data must correspond in order to  
avoid the risk of damage to the  
appliance. Consult a qualified  
electrician if in any doubt.  
Do not connect the appliance to the  
~
mains electricity supply by a  
multi-socket unit or an extension lead.  
These do not guarantee the required  
safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of  
overheating).  
In the event of any damage:

The correct temperature  
It is very important to set the correct  
temperature for storing food in the  
appliance. Micro-organisms will cause  
food which is not stored at the correct  
temperature to deteriorate rapidly.  
Temperature influences the growth rate  
of these micro-organisms. Reducing  
the temperature reduces their growth  
rate.  
Setting the temperature  
The temperature inside the appliance  
can be selected by touching the arrow  
sensors on either side of the  
temperature display.  
By touching the  
The temperature in the appliance will  
rise:  
X sensor: the temperature will get  
– the more often the door is opened  
and the longer it is kept open,  
colder  
Y sensor: the temperature will get  
warmer.  
– the more food that is stored in it,  
The temperature being set will flash in  
the display.  
– the warmer the food is which is being  
put into it,  
When touching the sensors, the  
following information shows in the  
display:  
– the higher the ambient temperature  
surrounding the appliance.  
The appliance is designed for use in  
specific ambient temperatures  
(climate ranges). Do not use in  
ambient temperatures for which it is  
not designed.  
– Touching a sensor once: the last  
temperature selected flashes.  
– Each subsequent touch of a sensor:  
adjusts the temperature shown in  
1 °C steps.  
. . . temperature in the  
refrigerator  
– Leaving a finger on the sensor:  
changes the temperature  
continuously.  
We recommend a temperature of 4 °C  
in the middle of the refrigerator.  
When the highest or lowest  
temperature in the range is reached,  
the X or Y sensor disappears.  
Approx. 5 seconds after taking your  
finger off the sensor, the average,  
current temperature inside the  
appliance is automatically shown.  
17  
 
The correct temperature  
If you have adjusted the temperature,  
wait for approx. 6 hours if the  
appliance is not very full and for  
approx. 24 hours if the appliance is  
full before checking the temperature  
display, as it will take this long for the  
display to give an accurate reading. If,  
after this time, the temperature is still  
too high or too low, you will need to  
adjust it again.  
^ Touch and leave your finger on the X  
sensor.  
^ At the same time, briefly touch the  
On/Off sensor (without letting go of

appliance. You should bear this in mind  
when placing food in the appliance  
(see "Using the refrigerator efficiently").  
However, if you are placing a large  
amount of food in the refrigerator at any  
one time, it is a good idea to switch on  
Dynamic cooling. This way you can  
distribute the temperature inside the  
appliance to all areas more evenly so  
that all the food will be chilled to about  
the same degree.  
Super cool is particularly  
recommended for the faster chilling of  
large amounts of fresh food or drink.  
^ Touch the Super cool sensor. It will  
light up yellow.  
The temperature is set as normal with  
the temperature control.  
The appliance will then work at full  
power to lower the temperature.  
Dynamic cooling should also be  
selected when:

Using the refrigerator efficiently  
Different storage zones  
– pre-packed vegetables and other  
fresh food with a label stating it  
should be kept at a temperature of  
approx. 4 °C.  
Due to the natural circulation of the air  
in the appliance, there are different  
temperature zones in the refrigerator.  
Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest  
section of the appliance. Make use of  
the different zones when placing food  
in the appliance.  
Do not store explosive materials in  
the appliance or any products  
containing propellants (e.g. spray  
cans). Danger of explosion.  
This appliance has Dynamic  
cooling, which helps to keep an  
even temperature when the fan is  
running. When Dynamic cooling is  
switched on, the difference between  
the various zones is less

pronounced.  
Do not store cooking oil in the  
refrigerator door. Traces of oil can  
cause stress cracks to occur in the  
plastic components in the door.  
Warmest area  
The warmest area is in the top section  
of the door. Use this for storing butter  
and cheese.  
Food must not touch the back wall of  
the refrigerator, as it may freeze to  
the back wall.  
Coldest area  
The coldest area in a refrigerator is  
directly above the vegetable  
containers.  
To allow air to circulate efficiently,  
do not pack food too closely  
together in the refrigerator. Do not  
cover the fan in the rear wall of the  
refrigerator, as this is essential for  
keeping the appliance cool.  
Use this for all delicate and highly  
perishable food, e.g.  
– fish, meat, poultry,  
– sausage products, ready meals,  
– dishes or baked goods containing  
eggs or cream,  
– fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or  
quiche dough,  
– soft cheese and other dairy  
products,

Using the refrigerator efficiently  
Food which should not be  
stored in a refrigerator  
Storing food correctly  
Food should generally be stored  
covered or packaged. This will prevent  
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration,  
as some food is sensitive to cold.  
Cucumbers, for example, become  
glassy, aubergines bitter and potatoes  
sweet. Tomatoes and oranges lose their  
aroma, and the peel on citrus fruit  
hardens.  
food smells from affecting other foods,  
food from drying out, and also any  
cross-contamination of bacteria. The  
growth of bacteria, such as salmonella,  
can be avoided by setting the correct  
temperature and maintaining good  
standards of hygiene.  
Food which should not be stored in a  
refrigerator includes:  
Fruit and vegetables  
– pineapple, pomegranate, bananas,  
avocado, mangos, papaya, passion  
fruit, citrus fruit  
Fruit and vegetables may be stored  
loose in the vegetable containers.  
Please be aware that not all types of  
fruit and vegetables are suitable for  
storing in the same container. Aromas  
and flavours can transfer from one type  
of food to another (e.g. carrots absorb  
the smell and flavour of onions very  
easily). Some food also gives off a  
natural gas (ethylene) which speeds up  
the rate at which other food perishes.  
– fruit which is not yet ripe  
– aubergines/egg plant, cucumbers,  
potatoes, peppers/capsicum,  
tomatoes, courgettes,  
– some hard cheeses, e.g. Parmesan  
When shopping for food  
– Examples of fruit and vegetables  
which produce a large amount of  
this natural gas are:  
The freshness of food when first placed  
in the appliance is an important factor  
in determining how long it stays fresh,  
and how long it can be kept in the  
refrigerator. Time out of the refrigerator,  
e.g. during transportation, should be  
kept to a minimum. For example, do not  
allow food to stay in a hot car for too  
long. Once food has started to

deteriorate, this process cannot be  
reversed. As little as two hours outside  
the refrigerator can cause food to start  
deteriorating.  
23  
 
Using the refrigerator efficiently  
– Examples of fruit and vegetables  
which react strongly to the natural  
gases given off by other types of  
fruit and vegetables are:  
Meat  
Meat should be stored unwrapped.  
(Undo wrappings slightly to leave meat  
loosely covered, and leave containers  
open). This permits air to circulate  
Kiwis, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels  
sprouts, mangos, honeydew melons, around the meat, allowing the surface  
apples, apricots, cucumbers,  
tomatoes, pears, nectarines and  
peaches.  
to dry slightly, which helps prevent the  
growth of bacteria. To prevent the risk  
of bacterial cross-contamination and  
meat deteriorating, do not let one type  
of meat come into direct contact with  
another type.  
Example: Broccoli should not be  
stored with apples, as apples  
produce a large amount of natural  
gas to which broccoli is very  
sensitive. The result is a shorter than  
expected storage time for the  
broccoli.  
Unpacked meat and vegetables  
Unpackaged meat and vegetables  
should be stored separately. To avoid  
any microbiological cross-  
contamination, these foods may only be  
stored together if they are wrapped.  
Protein rich foods  
Please note that foods rich in protein  
deteriorate faster than others.  
Shellfish, for example, deteriorates  
faster than fish, and fish deteriorates  
faster than meat.

Automatic defrost  
The refrigerator defrosts automatically.  
Condensate and frost can build up on  
the back wall of the refrigerator whilst it  
is in use. You do not need to remove  
this, as it will defrost and evaporate  
automatically with the warmth  
generated by the appliance.  
The condensate is drained away via a  
channel and drain hole into an  
evaporation system at the back of the  
appliance.  
Ensure that the condensate channel  
and drain hole are kept clean and  
are never blocked so that  
condensate can flow away without  
hindrance.

Building in the appliance  
The air inlet and outlet must not be  
covered or blocked in any way.  
They should be dusted on a regular  
basis.  
When built into a kitchen run (max.  
depth 580 mm) the appliance can be  
installed directly next to a kitchen  
furniture housing unit. The appliance  
door will protrude in front of furniture  
fronts at the sides by 34 mm and by  
55 mm in the middle of the door. This  
enables the doors to be opened and  
shut without being obstructed.  
When installed next to a wall d a  
distance of approx. 55 mm must be  
maintained on the hinge side between  
the wall d and the appliance b, so  
that the doors and the handles have  
sufficient space for opening.  
aTop box  
bAppliance  
cHousing unit  
dWall  
The appliance can be installed in a  
kitchen run. To match the height of the  
rest of the kitchen, the appliance can  
be fitted with a suitable top box a.  
A ventilation gap of at least 50 mm  
depth must be allowed for behind the  
appliance across the entire width of the  
top box for air to circulate.  
The cross section of the air outlet under  
the room ceiling must be at least  
300 cm2 to ensure that air can circulate  
without hindrance. Otherwise the  
appliance has to work harder, resulting  
in an increase in electricity  
consumption.
