re-freeze raw meat! Ice cream and cakes
that have thawed must not be frozen again
either (risk of salmonella!)
Danger of explosion!
Never freeze highly carbonated drinks. There
is a risk of explosion!
Caution!
Leave the appliance in a stable position for
at least 3 hours after installing it, so that the
refrigerant can settle. The compressor might
be damaged otherwise.
When you first put the appliance into use, let
it run for 24 hours without any interruption.
If you happen to switch off the appliance or
pull the mains plug from the socket during
this period, wait for at least 5 minutes be-
fore switching on the appliance again or re-
inserting the plug. The compressor might be
damaged otherwise.
Putting into use / first freeze
1. Insert the mains plug into a wall socket (220
- 240 V~; 50 Hz) that has been installed in ac-
cordance with the applicable regulations.
2. Open the fridge compartment door and turn
the temperature regulator 4 in a clockwise di-
rection to position "5" (cf. illustration O).
The appliance is on, the interior light is on,
the motor starts to work, refrigerant is flow-
ing though the pipes and you will hear a slight
"humming sound".
3. If the appliance makes any irritating noise,
check that it is positioned stably and remove
any objects from the top of the appliance.
4. Put the food to be refrigerated into the fridge
compartment and close the door.
5. As soon as the freezer compartment is at a
temperature of approx. –18 °C (use a fridge/
frost thermometer to check), you can store the
products to be frozen.
Regulating the temperature
The temperature regulator 4 is used to regulate
the temperature in the fridge and freezer compart-
ments. It depends on
the room temperature. If necessary, select a –
higher setting when the ambient temperature
goes up, e.g. in summer.
the temperature and volume of the products to –
be refrigerated or frozen that have recently been
put in the appliance. The greater the volume of
the products and the higher their temperature,
the higher the setting should be.
how often and how long the door is opened. –
The refrigeration performance can be set continu-
ously: from "0" (the appliance is off) to "5" (lowest
temperature setting).
1. Turn the temperature regulator in a clockwise
direction from "0" to a medium setting.
2. The ideal storage temperature for frozen food
is –18 °C. Use a fridge/frost thermometer (not
included) to check the temperature in the com-
partment.
3. Adjust the setting if the ambient temperature
changes.
Making ice cubes
1. Fill the ice cube tray 12 3/4 full with cold water.
2. Put it in the freezer compartment.
3. Wait for the water to freeze.
4. Twist the tray or briefly hold it under running
water to release the ice cubes.
Rearranging the door racks
1. Lift the door rack and take it off the door (see
illustration P).
2. Place the door rack in its new position over
both holders on the sides and lower it into po-
sition.
Switching off the appliance
Switch off your appliance if you intend not to use it
for a considerable period of time.
1. Set the temperature regulator
4 to "0".
2. Pull the mains plug from the wall socket if you
want to switch off the appliance for quite a long
time.
3. Empty the appliance, defrost it and clean it.
4. Leave the door ajar so that no mould forms in-
side.
