WARNING
Fire hazard due to dampness!
If live parts or the mains lead become damp this may cause
short circuits.
u
The appliance is designed for use in enclosed areas. Do not
operate the appliance outdoors or in areas where it is
exposed to splash water or damp conditions.
u
Only use the appliance when it is installed.
WARNING
Fire hazard due to refrigerant!
The refrigerant R 600a is environmentally friendly but flam-
mable. Escaping refrigerant may ignite.
u
Do not damage the piping of the refrigeration circuit.
WARNING
Fire hazard and danger of damage!
u
Do not place appliances emitting heat e.g. microwaves,
toasters etc. on the appliance!
WARNING
Blocked ventilation openings pose a risk of fire and damage!
u
Always keep the ventilation openings clear. Always ensure
that the appliance is properly ventilated!
NOTICE
Risk of damage due to condensate!*
If your appliance is not a Side-by-Side (SBS) appliance:
u
do not install the appliance directly alongside a further refrig-
erator/freezer.
q
In the event that the appliance is damaged, contact the
supplier immediately before connecting to the mains.
q
The floor at the site must be flat and level.
q
Do not install the appliance in a location where it is exposed
to direct radiation of the sun, next to a cooker, heater and
similar.
q
The appliance is suitable for integrated, under-worktop use.
q
Ventilation is effected by way of the plinth.
q
Do not install the appliance without assistance.
q
The more refrigerant R 600a there is in the appliance, the
larger than room must be in which it is located. In rooms that
are too small, a leak can product a flammable gas/air
mixture. According to the standard EN 378, per 11 g of
refrigerant R 600a, the room where the appliance is installed
must be at least 1 m
3
. The quantity of refrigerant used in
your appliance is indicated on the type plate on the inside of
the appliance.
u

removing the cable holder at the same time because other-
wise there will be vibratory noise!
After installation:
u
Remove the protective film from the decorative trims.
u
Remove all transit supports.
u
Dispose of packaging material (see 4.5) .
Note
u
Clean the appliance (see 6.2) .

5.3 Sabbath Mode
This function meets the religious requirements on the Sabbath
or Jewish feast days. When Sabbath mode is on some of the
electronic control functions are switched off. After setting
Sabbath mode you no longer need to worry about indicator
lamps, figures, symbols, displays, alarm messages and fans.
The thawing cycle only works for the specified time without
taking account of fridge use. After a power cut the appliance
automatically switches back to Sabbath mode.
There is a list of Star-K certified appliances at www.star-k.org/
appliances.
WARNING
Danger of food poisoning.
If a power cut occurs when Sabbath mode is enabled, this
message is not saved. Once the power is restored the appli-
ance continues to work in Sabbath mode. When this mode is
over no message about the power cut is displayed on the
temperature display.
If a power cut occurred during Sabbath mode:
u
Check the food for quality. Do not eat the food if it has
thawed.
-
All functions are blocked until Sabbath mode is switched off.
-
If functions such as SuperFrost, SuperCool, ventilation etc.
are selected when Sabbath mode is switched on they
remain switched on.
-
No audible signals are emitted and the temperature display
does not indicate any warnings or settings (such as a
temperature alarm or door alarm).
-
The internal light is off.

5.4 Food refrigeration
The coldest areas are directly above the vegetable compart-
ments and along the back wall. The warmest area is at the top
front and in the door.
Note
u
The maximum weight you can store in the pull-out compart-
ment with bottle rack and vegetable bin is 20 kg.
Note
The energy consumption increases and the cooling perform-
ance decreases if the ventilation is inadequate.
u
Always keep the air slits of the fan free.
u
Store readily perishable food such as pre-cooked meals,
meat and sausage products in the middle area of the coldest
zone. Store butter and preserves in the top area. (see 1)
u
Use recyclable plastic, metal, aluminium and glass
containers and cling film for wrapping.
u
Always store liquids and food which is subject to odour or
taste transfer in closed containers or cover them.
u
Do not store food too close together to enable good air
circulation.
5.5 Setting the temperature
The temperature depends on the following factors:
-
the frequency of opening the door
-
the room temperature of the installation location
-
the type, temperature and quantity of the food
Recommended temperature setting: 5 °C
The temperature is changed sequentially. Once the 2 °C setting
is reached, the sequence starts again at 9 °C.
u
Call up temperature function: press the setting
button

The new setting is adopted approx. 5 seconds after the last
time the button was pressed and the set temperature is
again displayed. The temperature in the interior gradually
adjusts to the new value.
5.6 SuperCool
With SuperCool you switch to the highest cooling
performance to reach lower cooling temperatures.
Use SuperCool, to rapidly cool large amounts of
food.
When SuperCool is activated, the fan* may run. The appliance

that the noise of the refrigeration unit may be temporarily
louder.
The SuperCool function uses slightly more energy.

Removing the shelf: Lift the shelf at the back and draw it
forwards, as illustrated.
Note
u
If the shelf can no longer be extended as far as originally,
then extend the telescopic rails all the way. The ball retainers
of the telescopic rails are realigned in the process and
maximum extension is restored.
u

grease in the runners is for lubrication purposes and must
not be removed.
u
To disassemble the cabinet:Lift the inner retaining rods
upwards, pull the brackets out. This releases the front and
rear retaining rods as well as the glass panel.
