There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flammable materials such as spray cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer. • Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer compartment.
Disposal Appliance Packaging Information All materials are environmentally sound! They can be disposed of or burned at an incinerating plant without danger. About the materials: The plastics can be recycled and are identified as follows: >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. the outer covering and the bags in the interior.
It is necessary to avoid overheating of the refrigerator by maintaining adequate distances from heat sources and by the use of a suitable thermal insulation plate. Proper ventilation of the appliance must also be ensured.
Installation Your Refrigerator Needs Air Integratable models (i-appliances) The integrated door of the furniture cabi- net largely seals the installation recess. i-appliances must therefore be provided with ventilation by having an opening in the furniture plinth. The warmed air must be able to be exhausted upwards through the air shaft on the furniture back.
Electrical Connection Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person. WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety mea- sures not be observed. Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as that indicated on the appliance rating plate.

the current ACTUAL temperature inside the fridge. The display will change from flashing to continuous illumination. The compressor will start and then run automatically. Information! When the setting is changed, the compressor does not start immediately if automatic defrosting is currently taking place. As the storage temperature within the fridge is reached quickly you can store food immediately after switching on.
6 hours. The originally selected DESIRED temperature is again valid return to. The temperature display shows the ACTUAL refrigerator tem- perature. 3. The COOLMATIC function can be ended manually at any time by press- ing the COOLMATIC button again.
Interior Accessories Storage Shelves/Glass Shelves Various glass or plastic storage shelves and wire trays are included with your appliance - different models have different combinations. You should always slide one of the full size glass storage shelves into the lowest set of guides, above the vegetable drawers, and keep it in this position.
2. Please do the same in reverse to insert the shelf at a different height. The variable box can be hung from a storage shelf in the refrigerator com- partment: 1. Pull the storage shelf forward until it can be tipped up or down and removed.
Warmer regions are the top stor- age shelf, the vegetable drawer and the storage compartments on the door. The arrangement example shows at which places in the refrigerator suit- able temperatures for various types of foods exist. Tip: Food in the fridge should always be covered or packaged, to prevent drying and tainting of other food.

Freezing and Storing Frozen Food • Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause increased ice formation and increase the power consumption. • Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufac- turer. • Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
Preparation of Ice Cubes 1. Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer compartment and leave to freeze. 2. To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend the ice cube tray or hold it under running water for a few seconds.
1. Switch on the FROSTMATIC function a few hours before defrosting to make sure frozen food remains sufficiently frozen. 2. Remove frozen food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and store it, covered, in a cool place. 3. Switch off the appliance and unplug it, or disconnect from the elec- tricity supply.
Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance parts. • Do not use any abrasive cleansers. 1. Remove frozen food and the food from the refrigerator. Wrap frozen food in several layers of newspaper. Store it in a cool place, well cov- ered.
