Safety
The safety of our refrigerators/freezers is in accordance with recognised technological standards and appliance safety legislation. We nevertheless feel
that it is important to acquaint you with the following safety guidelines:
Intended use
• The freezer is intended for use in the home. It is suitable for the freezing of fresh food and storing frozen food, as well as for making ice.
If the appliance is used for purposes other than those intended or used
incorrectly, no liability can be accepted by the manufacturer for any
damage that may be caused.
• Alterations or changes to the freezer are not permitted for reasons of safety.
• If you use the freezer in a commercial application or for purposes other
than the freezing or frozen storage of foods, the manufacturer accepts
no liability for any damages which may occur.
Prior to initial start–up
• Check the appliance for transport damage. Under no circumstance
should a damaged appliance be plugged in. In the event of damage,
please contact your supplier.
• Ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable.
Important: if the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a
special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its Customer Service.
Refrigerant
The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained within the refrigerant circuit
of the appliance, a natural gas with a high level of environmental compatibility, which is nevertheless flammable.
• Warning - During transportation and installation of the appliance, be
certain that none of the components of the refrigerant circuit become
damaged.
• If the refrigerant circuit should become damaged:
– avoid open flames and sources of ignition;
– thoroughly ventilate the room in which the appliance is situated.
Safety of children
• Packaging (e.g. wraps, polystyrene) can be dangerous for children. There is a
risk of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from children!
4
• Please make old appliances unusable prior to disposal. Pull out the mains
plug, cut off the mains cable, break or remove spring or boltcatches, if fitted.
By doing this you ensure that children cannot lock themselves in the appliance when playing (there is risk of suffocation!) or get themselves into
other dangerous situations.
• Often children cannot recognise the hazards present in household appliances.
It is therefore important that you ensure adequate supervision and never let
children play with the appliance!
Daily Operation
• Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures.
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. They can burst when the
contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even explode! Never store
lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc. in the freezer. Exception:
high alcohol content spirits can be stored in the freezer.
• Do not put ice creams or ice cubes in the mouth immediately after removal from the
freezer. Very cold ice can freeze to the lips or tongue and cause injury.
• Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could stick to the food
causing skin abrasions.
• Warning - Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigerator/ freezer
(e.g. electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.).
• Warning - In order not to impair the function of the appliance, never cover
or obstruct the ventilation openings.
• Warning - Do not damage the cooling circuit.
• Warning - Do not use any mechanical devices or other artificial means to
speed up defrosting unless they are recommended by the manufacturer.
• Before cleaning the appliance, always switch off the appliance and unplug it,
or disconnect from the electricity supply.
• When unplugging always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull on
the cable.
In case of malfunction
• If a malfunction occurs on the appliance, please look first in the "What to do
if ..." section of these instructions. If the information given there does not
help, please do not perform any further repairs yourself.
• Refrigerators/freezers may only be repaired by qualified service engineers. Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact your specialist dealer or our Customer Service.

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.
>PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g. the pads, which are all free of chlorofluorocarbon.
The carton parts are made from recycled paper and should be disposed
of at a waste-paper recycling collection location.
Disposal of old Appliances
For environmental reasons, refrigeration appliances must be disposed
of properly. This applies to your old appliance, and - at the end of its
service life - for your new appliance as well.
Warning! Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable.
Remove plug from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy
any snap or latch closures. This ensures that playing children do not
lock themselves inside the appliance (danger of suffocation!) or place
themselves into other life-endangering situations.

Remove transport packaging
The appliance and the interior fittings are protected for transport.
1. Pull off the adhesive tape on the left and right side of the door.
2. Remove all adhesive tape and packing pieces from the interior of the
appliance.
Installation
Installation Location
The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room.
Energy use and efficient performance of the appliance is affected
by the ambient temperature.
The appliance should therefore
– not be exposed to direct sunlight;
– not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat;
– only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature corresponds to the climate classification, for which the appliance is
designed.
The climate classification can be found on the rating plate, which
is located at the left on the inside of the appliance.
The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct
for each climate classification:
Climate classification

SN
from + 10 at 32°C
N
from + 16 at 32°C
ST
from + 18 at 38°C
T
from + 18 at 43°C
Installation directly under a hob is not allowed. The temperatures of
the hob, which in part are quite high, may damage the appliance. If a
hob is installed near the appliance, the corresponding installation and
safety instructions must be adhered to. Considering the numerous installation conditions which are possible, there is no way of providing
detailed information here.It is necessary to avoid overheating of the
appliance 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.
7
Building-in
See installation instructions supplied.
Please check whether, after installing your appliance and specially after
rehingeing the door, the door seal seals right round. An untight door
seal may lead to heavy frosting and thereby to a higher power consumption (see also „What to do if...“).
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 measures not be observed.
Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the
same as that indicated on the appliance rating plate. The rating plate
is inside, on the left. The appliance is supplied with a 13 amp plug fitted. In the event of having to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a
13 amp ASTA approved (BS 1362) fuse must be used.
Important
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow: Earth
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Liv
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in
your plug, proceed as follows:
1.The wire coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter “E” or by the earth symbol or coloured green
and yellow.
2.The wire coloured blue must be connected to the terminal “N” or coloured black.
3.The wire coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked
“L” or coloured red.
4.Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands of wire present and the cord clamp must be secure over the outer sheath.
Warning! A cut-off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that the cut-off plug is disposed of safely.
8
Before start-up
Let the appliance in a vertical position for at least 2 hours before operating it so that oil will flow into the compressor.
• Before connecting and using the appliance, wash the interior with lukewarm water and some mild soap so as to remove the typical smell of
a brand-new product, then dry thoroughly.
Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.
• Remove any tape and buffers used for transport purposes.

clockwise after the position ´-16°C. Thermostat knob is on freezer work
surface.
• The pilot lights (1), (3) and (5) will light up.
After switch-on, the appliance electronic control automatically switches off quick-freeze function after 5 hours (yellow light).
To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob (2) to position •.
9
Temperature regulation
• The temperature inside the freezer is automatically adjusted to ensure
safe storage of the food.
• Turn knob (2) towards higher values to obtain lower temperatures and,
conversely, towards lower temperatures if a less cold temperature is required.
• Set thermostat position according to required temperature.
• To safely store frozen and deep-frozen foods, the inner temperature of
the freezer must be at least
Therefore, we suggest you turn the knob (2) to -18° C.
• However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the
temperature inside the appliance depends on:
• room temperature;
• how often the door is opened;
• the quantity of food stored;
• location of appliance.
Quick freezing
Press button (4) for about 1 second. The light (3) will then light up
(SUPER control on). The SUPER or quick-freezing function can be
ended manually at any time by pressing the button (4) again. The yellow light (3) goes out.
If the SUPER function is not ended manually, the appliance switches
it off after 48 hours.
10
Warning light
This light (5) indicates when the temperature inside the appliance has
increased so much as to jeopardize the preservation of food in the
compartment (warmer than -12°C). When the appliance is switched
on or when food is placed in the compartment for freezing, this light
stays on until the temperature has reached the level required for correct storage.
Freezing calendar
The symbols on the drawers/doors show different types of frozen goods.
The numbers indicate storage time in months for the appropriate types
of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated
storage time is valid depends on the quality of the food and pre-treating before freezing.
Internal outfit
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production
of ice-cubes. Fill these trays with drinkable water, then put them in
the freezer.
Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer.
11
Drawers
Drawers feature a protection
against tipping over and limit
stop. This ensures safe and
comfortable storage and removal of frozen products.
To remove the drawers, proceed
as follows: pull the drawer out
until it comes to a stop, then
tilt it upwards (see figure).
Tips
Power saving tips
• The appliance should be installed well away from sources of heat such
as stoves, radiators, etc. If ambient temperature is high, the compressor
activates more often and for longer. See ìInstallationî section.
• Keep door open only as much as necessary.
• Do not put hot foods or beverages in the appliance, allow them to cool
down first.
‚• To thaw out frozen food, set it in the fridge. In this way frozen food
cold temperature is exploited to keep the fridge cool.
• Clean the condenser and motor-driven compressor located on appliance rear panel using a brush or a vacuum cleaner.
12
Freezing and storage
• To quick-freeze foods when the appliance has not been in use, switch
on the freezer and let it run on the quick-freeze setting for at least
three hours before putting the food to be frozen in the compartment.
• If instead the appliance is already in operation, it should run on the
quick-freeze setting for at least 24 hours before the food is put in the
freezer.
• Once the food has been placed in the freezer, the freezing operation
can be considered to be complete 24 hours later. Once freezing is
complete, the freezer should be reset to normal storage use.
• Food to be frozen has to be placed in the appliance's lower compartment.
• The maximum amount of food which is freezable in 24 hours is indicated on the rating plate.
• Thanks to the NO FROST technology, freezing is quicker and this allows
thawed food to keep their original features, vitamin content and flavour unaltered.
• Split food into small portions to speed up freezing and avoid having to
thaw more food than you require.
• Wrap the foods in foil or polythene film, ensuring that the wrapping
adheres closely to the food and is well sealed.
• You should never freeze all at once a greater quantity of foods than the
maximum indicated on the applianceís rating plate.
• During the freezing process, do not add further food for freezing and
do not open the freezer door.
• The food for freezing should not be placed in contact with already frozen food. This will prevent the temperature of already frozen food from
rising.
13
• A temperature increase of the frozen food during defrosting shortens
its safe storage period.
• A word of warning about ice lollies: they should not be eaten straight
out of the freezer as this might cause cold burns.
• It is a good idea to mark the packs with the date on which freezing
started so that you can keep a check on storage periods.
• Never put fizzy drinks in the freezer as they might well burst.
• To ensure optimum results, it is necessary to use all available compartments.
• Ensure that there is only a very short time between when you purchase
the products and when you put them in the freezer.
• Avoid opening the door too frequently and when you do open it, leave
it open only for as long as is strictly necessary.
• After thawing out, food deteriorates in a short time and could not be
frozen again.
To ensure appliance correct operation do not put frozen food directly
against the fan located on the freezer back panel.
14
Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.
Important
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit maintenance
and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorised technicians.
When the appliance is not in use
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, disconnect
from the electricity supply, empty all foods and clean the appliance,
leaving the door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
Internal cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate
of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly.
NEVER USE DETERGENTS, ABRASIVE POWDERS, HIGHLY PERFUMED
CLEANING PRODUCTS OR WAX POLISHES, TO CLEAN THE INTERIOR
AS THESE WILL DAMAGE THE SURFACE AND LEAVE A STRONG
SMELL.
Important
Do not use abrasive products.
15
What to do if ...
Correcting Malfunctions
Please check whether the pilot lights come on, the refrigerating unit
operates, and the internal temperature is being maintained. Do not
perform any other work on the appliance if the following information
does not provide assistance in your specific case.
Important! Repairs to refrigerators/freezers may only be performed by
competent service engineers. Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards for the user. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact your specialist dealer or your local Service Force Centre.
If the freezer system has stopped working and the freezer is full, the
reserve in the cold accumulator and in the deep frozen food itself will
give the food a hold over time of about 30 hours. If the freezer is without a cold accumulator the hold over time will be reduced to about
20 hours.

Noises during Operation
The following noises are characteristic of refrigeration appliances:
• Clicks
Whenever the compressor switches on or off, a click can be heard.
• Humming
As soon as the compressor is in operation, you can hear it humming.
• Bubbling/Splashing
When refrigerant flows into thin tubes, you can hear bubbling or splashing noises. Even after the compressor has been switched off,
this noise can be heard for a short time.
Regulations, Standards, Guidelines
This appliance was designed for household use and was manufactured
in accordance with the appropriate standards. The necessary measures
in accordance with appliance safety legislation regulations (GSG), accident prevention regulations for refrigeration appliances (VBG 20)
and the regulations of the German Society of Electrical Engineers (VDE)
were observed in the manufacture of this appliance.
The refrigerant circuit has been checked for leaks.
This appliance is in accordance with the following EU guidelines:
– 73/23/EWG dated 19 February 1973 - low voltage guidelines.
– 89/336/EWG dated 3 May 1989
(including guideline change notice 92/31/EWG) - EMV guideline
– 94/2/EG dated 21.01.1994 - Directive on Energy Labelling

18
Technical Terminology
• Refrigerant
Liquids that can be used to a generate a cooling effect are known
as refrigerants. They have a relatively low boiling-point, indeed so
low, that the warmth from the food stored in the fridge or freezer
can cause the refrigerant to boil and vaporise.
• Refrigerant Circuit
Closed circulation system that contains the refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit comprises primarily of an evaporator, a compressor, a
condenser and pipe work.
• Evaporator
The refrigerant is evaporated in the evaporator. Similar to all other
liquids, refrigerant requires heat to evaporate. This heat is removed
from the interior of the appliance, as a result the interior is cooled.
The evaporator is therefore located inside the appliance or placed
in foam immediately behind the inner wall and thus not visible.
• Compressor
The compressor looks like a small drum. It is driven by a built-in
electric motor and is mounted on the base of the appliance at the
rear. The task of the compressor is to draw in vaporised refrigerant
from the evaporator, to compress it, and to pass it on to the condenser.
• Condenser
The condenser normally has the form of a grid. The refrigerant compressed in the compressor is liquefied in the condenser. During this
process, heat is released to the surrounding air at the surface of the
condenser. The condenser is mounted on the base of the appliance.

Fitting the plinth
Important!
For the efficient operation of the
appliance, it is important that
the original ventilation grid is
used.
• For an opening height dimension A=820 mm and a
plinth height dimension
a=100 mm, the plinth may be
fitted without adjustments.
The same applies to an opening height dimension
B=890 mm and a plinth
height dimension b=170 mm.
• For plinth heights greater
than a=100 mm, b=170 mm,
a cut should be made in the
plinth, 580 mm wide, in the
centre of the appliance position, leaving a remaining
height of a=100 mm, b=170
mm.
• Attach plinth to the kitchen units.
Important! The plinth must be positioned at a minimum distance of
25 mm from the door.
