[. . . ] Ensure that the tubing of the refrigerant circuit is not damaged during transportation and installation. If damage has occurred ■ Keep naked flames and/or ignition sources away from the appliance, ■ thoroughly ventilate the room for several minutes, switch off the appliance and pull out the mains plug, ■ inform customer service. The more refrigerant an appliance contains, the larger the room must be in which the appliance is situated. Leaking refrigerant can form a flammable gas-air mixture in rooms which are too small. [. . . ] The factory has recommended the following temperatures: ■ Refrigerator compartment: +4 °C ■ Freezer compartment: -18 °C Setting the temperature Fig. " Refrigerator compartment The temperature can be set from +2 °C to +8 °C. Keep pressing temperature setting button on refrigerator compartment 7, until the required refrigerator compartment temperature is set. The set temperature is indicated on the temperature display for the refrigerator compartment 8. Freezer compartment The temperature can be set from –16 °C to –24 °C. Keep pressing temperature setting button freezer compartment 3 until the required freezer compartment temperature is set. The set temperature is indicated on temperature display for the freezer compartment 4. Operating tips ■ ■ ■ ■ After the appliance has been switched on, it may take several hours until the set temperature has been reached. The fully automatic NoFrost system ensures that the freezer compartment remains free of ice. If the freezer compartment door cannot be immediately re-opened after it has been closed, wait until the resulting low pressure has equalised. Holiday mode If leaving the appliance for a long period of time, you can switch the appliance over to the energy-saving holiday mode. The temperature of the refrigerator compartment is automatically switched to +14 °C. Do not store any food in the refrigerator compartment during this time. 30 en Switching on and off Fig. If vacation mode is switched on, the button is lit and the refrigerator compartment temperature 8, no longer indicates a temperature. Note Keep food which is to be frozen away from food which is already frozen. ■ Packaging must not be damaged. If possible, transport deep-frozen food in an insulated bag and place quickly in the freezer compartment. 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. ■ Storing frozen food Insert frozen food container all the way to ensure unrestricted air circulation. The following foods are suitable for freezing: Cakes and pastries, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without shells, dairy products such as cheese, butter and quark, ready meals and leftovers such as soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and desserts.

Unsuitable packaging: Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cellophane, bin liners and used shopping bags. Items suitable for sealing packaged food: Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, coldresistant adhesive tape, etc. Bags and tubular film made of polyethylene can be sealed with a film heat sealer. Super freezing Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible in order to retain vitamins, nutritional value, appearance and flavour. Several hours before placing fresh food in the freezer compartment, switch on super freezing to prevent an unwanted temperature rise. [. . . ] 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. To avoid increased power consumption, occasionally clean the back of the appliance. The arrangement of the fittings does not affect the energy rating of the appliance. Clicking Motor, switches or solenoid valves are switching on/off. Preventing noises The appliance is not level Please align the appliance with a spirit level. [. . . ]
