ATTENTION!
If not rolling freely, the appliance's
castors may damage the floor when
the appliance is moved.
▶ Transport the appliance using a
sack truck.
▶ Use floor protection when moving
the appliance, and do not move it
in a zigzag fashion.
Using the appliance, base, runners or
doors as a seat or climbing surface
may damage the appliance.

too small, a leak in the refrigeration
circuit may result in a flammable mix-
ture of gas and air.
▶ Only install the appliance in a
space with a volume of at least
1m
3
per 8g refrigerant. The
volume of refrigerant is indicated
on the rating plate. →"Appliance",
Fig. 1 /

, Page14
The weight of the appliance ex works
may be up to 120kg depending on
the model.
The subfloor must be sufficiently
stable to bear the weight of the appli-
ance.
The surface must be level.
This refrigerator is intended for use at
ambient temperatures of 10°C to
43°C.
The appliance is fully functional within
the permitted room temperature.
If the appliance is operated at colder
room temperatures, the appliance will
not be damaged up to a room tem-
perature of 5°C.
Over-and-under and side-by-side
installation
If you want to install 2 refrigerating
appliances one over the other or side
by side, you must maintain a clear-
ance of at least 150mm between the
appliances. Selected appliances can
be installed without a minimum clear-
ance. Ask your dealer or kitchen
planner about this.

6.3 Storage container
The temperatures in the storage con-
tainer are lower than in the refriger-
ator compartment. Temperatures be-
low 0°C may occur occasionally.
In order to reach temperatures close
to 0 °C in the storage container, set
the refrigerator compartment temper-
ature to 2 °C. →Page16
Use the lower temperatures in the
storage container to store highly per-
ishable food, e.g. fish, meat and
sausages.
6.4 Fruit and vegetable con-
tainer
Store fresh fruit and vegetables in
their packaging in the fruit and veget-
able container.
Cover any chopped fruit and veget-
ables, or store in air-tight packaging.
Condensation may form in the fruit
and vegetable container depending
on the food and quantity stored.
Remove the condensation with a dry
cloth.
To ensure that the quality and aroma
are retained, store fruit and veget-
ables that are sensitive to cold out-
side of the appliance at temperatures
of approx. 8°C to 12°C, e.g. pine-
apple, bananas, citrus fruits, cucum-
bers, courgettes, peppers, tomatoes
and potatoes.
6.5 Door tray

7.2 Operating tips
¡ Once you have switched on the
appliance, the set temperature is
only reached after several hours.
Do not put any food in the appli-
ance until the set temperature has
been reached.
¡ The front panels of the housing are
temporarily heated slightly. This
prevents condensation in the area
of the door seal.
¡ When you close the door, a va-
cuum may be created. The door is
then difficult to open again. Wait a
moment until the vacuum is offset.
¡ The temperature in the appliance
varies due to the following condi-
tions:
– How often the appliance is
opened
– Load capacity
– Temperature of newly stored
food
– Ambient temperature
– Direct sunlight

may multiply and spoil the frozen
food.
▶ Do not refreeze food after it has
been defrosted or started to de-
frost.
▶ Refreeze food only after cooking.
▶ These items should no longer be
stored for the maximum storage
period.
The temperature alarm can be
switched on in the following cases:
¡ The appliance is switched on.
Do not store any food until the ap-
pliance has reached the set tem-
perature.
¡ Large quantities of fresh food are
being placed inside.
Switch on Super freezing before
placing large quantities of food in

ment

You can keep meat, sausage, fish,
dairy products, eggs, prepared meals
and pastries in the refrigerator com-

The refrigerator compartment can
also be used to store highly perish-
able foods in the short to medium

term. The lower the selected temper-
ature, the longer the food remains
fresh.
10.1 Tips for storing food in
the refrigerator compart-
ment
¡ Only store food when fresh and
undamaged.
¡ Store food covered or in air-tight
packaging.
¡ To avoid impeding the circulation
of air and to prevent food from
freezing, do not place food so that
it has direct contact with the back
wall.
¡ Allow hot food and drinks to cool
down first before placing in the ap-
pliance.
¡ Observe the best-before date or
use-by date specified by the manu-
facturer.
10.2 Chill zones in the refri-
gerator compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment creates different chill
zones.
Coldest zone
The coldest zone is in the storage
container.
Tip:Store highly perishable food
such as fish, sausages and meat in
the coldest zone.
Warmest zone
The warmest zone is at the very top
of the door.
Tip:Store food that does not spoil
easily in the warmest zone, e.g. hard
cheese and butter. Cheese can then
continue to release its aroma and the
butter will still be easy to spread.
Freezer compartment
11 Freezer compartment
Freezer compartment
You can store frozen food, freeze
food and make ice cubes in the
freezer compartment.
The temperature can be set from
−16°C to −24°C.
Long-term storage of food should be
at –18°C or lower.
The freezer compartment can be
used to store perishable food long-
term. The low temperatures slow
down or stop the spoilage.
11.1 Freezing capacity
The freezing capacity indicates the
quantity of food that can be frozen
right through to the centre within a
specific period of time.
Information on freezing capacity can
be found on the rating plate. →"Appli-
ance", Fig. 1 /

, Page14
Prerequisites for freezing capacity
1. Approx. 24 hours before placing
fresh food in the appliance, switch
on Super freezing.
→"Switching on manual Super
freezing", Page17

11.3 Tips for storing food in
the freezer compartment
¡ Store food in air-tight packaging.
¡ Do not bring food which is to be
frozen into contact with frozen
food.
¡ Place thefood over thewhole area
ofthefrozen food containers.
¡ To ensure that the air can circulate
freely in the appliance, push the
frozen food containers in as far as
they will go.
11.4 Tips for freezing fresh
food
¡ Freeze fresh and undamaged food
only.
¡ Freeze food in portions.
¡ Cooked food is more suitable than
food that can be eaten raw.
¡ Vegetables: Wash, chop up and
blanch before freezing.
¡ Fruit: Wash, pit and perhaps peel,
possibly add sugar or ascorbic
acid solution.
¡ Food that is suitable for freezing in-
cludes baked items, fish and sea-
food, meat, game, poultry, eggs
without shells, cheese, butter and
quark, ready meals and leftovers.
¡ Food that is unsuitable for freezing
includes lettuce, radishes, eggs in

possible during a power failure
and do not place any other food in
the appliance.
¡ Check the quality of the food
immediately after a power failure.
– Dispose of any frozen food that
has defrosted and is hotter than
5°C.
– Cook or fry slightly thawed
frozen food, and then either con-
sume it or freeze it again.

test, two audible signals sound
and the temperature display indic-
ates the set temperature, your ap-
pliance is OK. The appliance
switches to normal operation.
