Temperature Setting Buttons
The temperature is adjusted using the "+" (WARMER) and "-" (COLDER)
buttons.
These buttons are connected to the temperature display.
The temperature display is switched over from the display of the ACTUAL
temperature (temperature display is illuminated) to the display of the
DESIRED temperature (temperature display flashes) by pressing one of the
two buttons, "+" or "-".
With each further press of one of the two buttons, the DESIRED
temperature is adjusted by 1°C.
7
If neither button is pressed, the temperature display automatically
switches back after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) to the display of the
ACTUAL temperature.
DESIRED temperature means:
The temperature that is required in the refrigerator, this can be adjusted to
the temperatures shown in the display. The DESIRED temperature is indicated
by flashing numbers.
ACTUAL temperature means:
The temperature display indicates the temperature that is currently present
in the refrigerator. The ACTUAL temperature is indicated by continuously
illuminated numbers.
Temperature Display
The temperature display can indicate several pieces of
information.
During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the
refrigerator (ACTUAL temperature) is displayed.
When the temperature is being adjusted, the temperature currently set
flashes (DESIRED temperature).
Prior to Initial Start-Up
Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial startup
(see section: "Cleaning and Care").
Starting up and temperature regulation
1.Insert the plug into the plug socket. When the refrigerator compartment
door is opened, the internal lighting is switched on.
2.Press ON/OFF button. The green mains pilot indicator illuminates.
3.Press either the "+" (WARMER) or "-" (COLDER) button. The temperature
display switches over and the DESIRED temperature currently set flashes on
the temperature display.
4.Set the required temperature by pressing the "+" (WARMER) or "-"
(COLDER) buttons (see section "Temperature setting buttons"). The
temperature display will immediately show the changed setting. With each
further press of one of the two buttons, the DESIRED temperature is adjusted
by 1°C. Adjustable temperature range: +2°C to +8°C.
8
Note: From a food safety point of view, +5°C for the refrigerator
compartment should be considered cold enough as a storage
temperature.
5.Once the required temperature has been set, after a short period (approx.
5 sec.) the temperature display will change and again indicate 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.
SUPERCOOL
SUPERCOOL Button
The SUPERCOOL function is suited for quick cooling of large quantities of
goods in the refrigerator, e.g. drinks and salads for a party.
1.The SUPERCOOL function is switched on by pressing the SUPERCOOL
button. The yellow light illuminates.
2.The SUPERCOOL function now ensures intensive cooling. A DESIRED
temperature of +2°C is automatically selected. The SUPERCOOL function is
ended automatically after a period of 6 hours. The originally selected
DESIRED temperature is again valid and the compartment will return to. The
temperature display shows the ACTUAL refrigerator temperature.
3.The SUPERCOOL function can be ended manually at any time by pressing
the SUPERCOOL button again. The yellow light goes out.
If the SUPERCOOL function is switched on the temperature setting may
not be changed.
Switching off the Appliance
To switch off, press the ON/OFF button for approx. 3 seconds. This will result
in a countdown from "3" to "1" taking place in the temperature display. On
reaching "1" the fridge will switch off. The temperature display will go off.
Note: The appliance cannot be switched on or off if unplugged, or if there is
no power being supplied to it. Following connection to the mains power
9
supply, the appliance returns to the same operating state as before the
interruption of main power.
If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period:
1.Switch off the appliance by holding down the ON/OFF button until the
display goes off (see above).
2.Remove the mains plug or switch off or disconnect from the electricity
supply.
3.Clean thoroughly (see section: "Cleaning and Care").
4.Finally, leave the door open so as to avoid a build up of odours.
Holiday Setting
In the holiday mode the temperature for the refrigerator is approximately
+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. Without the stand-by mode leaving the door closed would
lead to the accumulation of odours and mould.
After emptying and cleaning the appliance, proceed as follows:
1.To activate the holiday setting, press the "+" (WARMER) or "-" (COLDER)
button. The temperature display will change and indicate in flashing numbers
the DESIRED temperature that is currently set.
2.Hold down the "+" (WARMER) button until the temperature display
indicates H (for holiday). The temperature shown in the temperature display
will change in steps of 1°C until it reaches +8°C. After +8°C the value +15°C
will appear in the display with the letter H. The fridge is now operating in
energysaving holiday mode.
3.After a few seconds the temperature display will again change to the
ACTUAL emperature. The display will change from flashing to continuous
illumination.
To switch the fridge back to normal operation, press the "-" (COLDER) button.
Important! Do not store any goods in the refrigerator when the
standby mode is operational. The temperature is regulated at about
+15°C when the stand-by mode is operational. This is too warm for food
products.

Internal Parts
Storage shelves
The shelves can be removed for cleaning.
To permit storage of food packages of
various sizes, the shelves can be placed at
different heights.
To remove the internal shelf pull forward
until it can be tipped up or down and
removed.
Please do the same in reverse to insert the
shelf at a different height.
For better use of space, the front
halfshelves can lie over the rear ones.
Door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of
various sizes, the central door shelf can
be adjusted in height.
Gradually pull the shelf in the direction
of the arrows until it comes free, then
reposition as required.
For more thorough cleaning, the top and
bottom door shelves can be removed by
pulling them in the direction of the
arrows, then refitting them in position.

Hints
Saving Energy
Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is placed. See the section
Installation. When installed correctly the cabinet will consume less energy.
Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors
too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the
compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
If the ambient temperature is high, the thermostat knob is on the coldest
setting (higher numbers) and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor
may run continuously, causing frost or ice to form on the evaporator. If this
happens, turn the knob to a warmer setting (lower numbers) to allow
automatic defrosting and so a saving in electricity consumption.
Do not place warm foods inside the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool
first.
Keep the heat emitting condenser, the metall grille on the rear wall of your
appliance, always clean.
Hints for refrigeration
Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator and do
cover or wrap up the food, particularly if it has a strong smell.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are some useful hints:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & poultry): wrap in polythene bags and place on
top of the salad compartment, this being the coldest spot in the refrigerator.
Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one or two days at the most.
Cooked food, cold cuts, jelly, etc.: these should be well covered and can
be stored on any of the glass shelves.
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the
bottom drawer/s.
Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or
wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to keep out as much air as
possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a top and should be stored in the bottle
rack on the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in
the refrigerator.
12
Maintenance
Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.
Warning
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit maintenance and
recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorised technicians.
Defrosting
Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chamber in form of frost and ice
goes with the operation of the refrigerator.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it reduces cooling efficiency
as the temperature increases and it needs more energy.
At this type of appliance defrosting cooling compartment is automatic
without any external intervention.
The thermostatic control interrupts the operation of compressor at regular
intervals for more or less time - during this cooling is interrupted - temperature
of the cooling compartment increases and defrosting occurs. After defrosting
the thermostatic control restarts operation of the system.
Melting water flows through defrost water outlet into the evaporative tray
maintained on the top of compressor and evaporates due to warmth of it.
Check and clean the outlet of
melting water coming during
defrosting regularly. If it is clogged
the melting water gathered can
cause earlier failure as it can go to
the insulating of the appliance.
Clean the melting water outlet
with the supplied pipe scraper that
can be seen in the figure. The pipe
scraper has to be stored in the
outlet.
Occasionally check the defrost
water outlet not to be clogged up.
The most typical case of clogging up in the defrost water outlet when you
put food wrapped in some paper into the appliance and this paper contacts
back plate of cooling compartment and freezes to it. If you remove the food
13
right at this moment the paper will tear and it can cause clogging up in the
outlet by getting into it. So you are asked to be careful - because of the above
- when placing foods wrapped in paper into the appliance.
In case of increased demand e.g. during heatwaves, the refrigerator
temporarily happens to operate constantly - during this the automatic
defrosting is ineffective.
Remaining small ice and frost stains on back plate of the cooling
compartment after defrosting period is not abnormal.
Regular cleaning
It is recommended to wash the inside of the refrigerator in 3-4 weeks time.
Household cleaner or soap must not be used.
After you made it no-current wash the appliance using lukewarm water and
wipe it.
Clean the magnet door rubber profile with clean water.
After cleaning plug the appliance to the mains socket.
Dust and dirt collected on the back of the refrigerator, condenser is
recommended to be removed and clean the evaporative tray on top of the
compressor once or twice a year.
When the refrigerator is not in use
In case the appliance will not be used for a long time follow these steps:
Break the circuit of the appliance.
Remove foods from the refrigerator.
Defrost and clean it as written before.
Leave the door open to avoid a build up of air inside.
14
How to change the bulb
1. Break the circuit of the
appliance.
2. Unscrew the lamp cover
securing screw.
3. Unhook the moving part by
pressing it as shown in the
figure.
4. Replace the bulb with one of
the same power (the maximum
power is shown on the light
bulb cover)
5. Fix the lamp cover in place.
6. Screw the lamp cover securing screw.
7. Reconnect the appliance.
8. Open the door and check if the light comes on.

continuously.
The temperature where the cabinet is placed is above normal
room temperature.
Check that the ventilation is sufficient and that the ventilation
openings are unobstructed.
The cause could be the introduction of large quantities of food
and/or frequent opening/closing of the door.
Noises
Sometimes this is normal. Temperature control may cause clicking
sounds when the system is connected ordisconnected.
The injected cooling gas may produce a gurgling soundwhile
passing through the tubes.
The motor may cause a humming noise and/or slightbumping.
The insulation material used has a tendency to slighly
increase noise levels, how ever it allows for much better
insulation and a lower energy consumption.
Malfunctions
If the electronics in the appliance have detected a fault that prevents the
ACTUAL temperature being measured,the temperature display shows a square.
The appliance will continue to function using a backup programme until your
local Customer Service engineer has repaired the appliance.
