- Important information when using the appliance
- ■ Never use electrical appliances inside the appliance (e.g. heater, electric ice maker, etc.). Risk of explosion!
- ■ Never use a steam cleaner to defrost or clean the appliance! The steam may penetrate electrical parts and cause a short-circuit. Risk of electric shock!
- ■ Do not use pointed or sharp-edged implements to remove frost or layers of ice. You could damage the refrigerant tubing. Leaking refrigerant may ignite or cause eye injuries.
- ■ Do not store products which contain flammable propellants (e.g. spray cans) or explosive substances in the appliance. Risk of explosion!
- ■ Do not stand or support yourself on the base, drawers or doors, etc.
- ■ Before defrosting and cleaning the appliance, pull out the mains plug or switch off the fuse. Do not pull out the mains plug by tugging the cable.
- ■ Bottles which contain a high percentage of alcohol must be sealed and stored in an upright position.
- ■ Keep plastic parts and the door seal free of oil and grease. Otherwise, parts and door seal will become porous.
- ■ Never cover or block the ventilation openings for the appliance.
- ■ People (childern incl.) who have limited physical, sensory or mental abilities or inadequate knowledge must not use this appliance unless they are supervised or given meticulous instructions.
- ■ Do not store bottled or canned drinks (especially carbonated drinks) in the freezer compartment. Bottles and cans may explode!

- ■ After the appliance has been switched on, it may take several hours until the set temperature has been reached.
- Do not put any food in the appliance beforehand.
- ■ While the refrigeration unit is running, water droplets or hoarfrost may form at the rear panel of the refrigerator. This is due to functional reasons. It is not necessary to scrape off the frost or wipe off the water droplets. The rear panel def...
- ■ The front sides of the housing are partly heated slightly. This prevents condensation in the area of the door seal.

- Storing food
- ■ Store fresh, undamaged food. The quality and freshness will then be retained for longer.
- ■ In the case of ready-made products and bottled goods, observe the best- before date or use-by date specified by the manufacturer.
- ■ To retain aroma, colour and freshness, pack or cover food well before placing in the appliance. This will prevent the transfer of flavours and the discolouration of plastic parts in the refrigerator compartment.
- ■ Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance.
- Note the chill zones in the refrigerator compartment
- ■ Coldest zone is between the vegetable container and the glass shelf situated above. Fig. $
- Note
- Store perishable food (e.g. fish, sausage, meat) in the coldest zone above the vegetable container.
- ■ Warmest zone is at the very top of the door.
- Note
- Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in the warmest zone. Cheese can then continue to release its flavour and the butter will still be easy to spread.

- Max. freezing capacity
- Prerequisites for max. freezing capacity
- ■ Switch on super freezing before placing fresh products in the compartment (see chapter entitled “Super freezing”).
- ■ Remove the fittings. The food can be stacked directly on the shelves and in the bottom of the freezer compartment.
- ■ Freeze large quantities of food preferably in the very top compartment where food freezes particularly quickly and therefore also gently.
- Prerequisites for max. freezing capacity
- Freezing and storing food
- Purchasing frozen food
- Note when loading products
- ■ Preferably freeze large quantities of food in the top compartment, where food freezes particularly quickly and therefore also gently.
- ■ Place the food over the whole area of the compartments or the frozen food containers.
- Note
- Food which is already frozen must not come into contact with the food which is to be frozen. If required, move the frozen food to other frozen food containers.

- Tips for saving energy
- ■ Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room! The appliance should not be installed in direct sunlight or near a heat source (e.g. radiator, cooker).
- If required, use an insulating plate.
- ■ Select 560 mm cavity depth.
- A smaller cavity depth will result in a higher energy consumption.
- ■ Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance.
- ■ Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator compartment and use the low temperature of the frozen food to cool refrigerated food.
- ■ Open the appliance as briefly as possible.
- ■ Regularly defrost the freezer compartment to remove the layer of frost.
- A layer of hoarfrost will impair refrigeration of the frozen food and increase power consumption.
- ■ Ensure that the freezer compartment door is always closed properly.
- ■ Occasionally clean the rear of the appliance to prevent an increased power consumption.
- ■ The arrangement of the fittings does not affect the energy rating of the appliance.
