Dear customer, Before placing your new refrigerator into operation please read these operating instructions carefully. They contain important information for safe use, for installation and for care of the appliance. Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the appliance.
Safety The safety aspects of our refrigerators comply with accepted technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. Nevertheless, we con- sider it our obligation to make you aware of the following safety infor- mation: Intended use • The refrigerator is intended for use in the home. It is suitable for the cooling and storing of food.

Safety • Please make old appliances unusable prior to disposal. Pull out the mains plug, cut off the mains cable, break or remove spring or bolt catches, if fitted. By doing this you ensure that children cannot lock themselves in the fridge when playing (there is risk of suffocation!) or get themselves into other dangerous situations.
Disposal Appliance Packaging Information All materials are environmentally sound! They can be dumped 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 inte- rior.

Installation Your refrigerator needs ventilation Integratable models (i-appliances) The integrated door of the furniture cabinet 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.

The COOLMATIC function is switched on by pressing the COOLMATIC button. The yellow light illuminates. The COOLMATIC function now provides for intensive cooling.
Holiday Setting In the holiday mode the temperature for the refrigerator is approxi- mately +15°C. In the holiday mode it is therefore possible to leave the door of the empty refrigerator closed during periods of extended absence. Advantage: Unintentional closing of the door, or accidental closing of the door by persons who have access to your home during your absence, is no longer possible.
Interior Accessories Storage Shelves Your appliance is equipped with glass storage shelves. The glass shelf above the fruit and vegetable compartment must always remain in this position so that fruit and vegetables stay fresh longer. The remaining storage shelves can be adjusted to various heights: 1.
Interior Accessories Humidity Control On some models, there is an adjustable air grille in front of the shelf above the fruit and vegetable compartments. The opening in the ventilation slots can be adjusted with a slider. Slider in right position: Ventila- tion slots opened.
Interior Accessories The variable box can be hung from a storage shelf in the refrigerator compartment: 1. Pull the storage shelf forward until it can be tipped up or down and removed. 2. Hang the retaining bracket on the taper on the storage shelf and slide the storage shelf back into the guides.
Correct Storage For physical reasons, there are different temperature regions in the fridge. The coldest region is on the lowest storage shelf. Warmer regions are the top stor- age shelf, the vegetable basket and the storage compartments on the door. The arrangement example shows at which places in the refrigerator suitable temperatures for various types of foods...
Cleaning and Maintenance For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accesso- ries, should be cleaned regularly.

Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.
Energy Saving Tips • Do not install the appliance near boilers, radiators or other sources of warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent operation of the compressor. • Ensure sufficient air circulation and exhaust at the appliance base and at the back wall of the appliance. Never cover air vent openings. •...
