Tips for saving energy
Containers or storage areas wobble or stick
▯
Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room!
The appliance should not be installed in direct
sunlight or near a heat source (e.g. radiator,
stove).
If required, use an insulating plate.
▯
Select 560 mm niche depth.
A smaller niche depth will result in a higher
energy consumption.
▯
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.
▯
Open the appliance as briefly as possible.
▯
Ensure that the freezer compartment door is
always closed properly.
▯
Occasionally clean the rear of the appliance
to prevent increased power consumption.
▯
The arrangement of the fittings does not affect
the energy absorption of the appliance.
Please check the removable parts and re-insert them
correctly, if required.
Containers are touching
Move the containers slightly apart.

Appliance self-test
Customer service
Your appliance features an automatic self-test
program which shows you sources of faults which may
be repaired by customer service only.
If required, we recommend that you have the door
hinges changed over by our customer service. You can
find out the costs for changing over the door hinges
from your customer service.
Starting the appliance self-test
1.
Switch off the appliance with the On/Off
button ÿ and wait 5 minutes.
2.
Switch on the appliance with the On/Off
button ÿ.
3.
Within the first 10 seconds after switching on the
appliance, hold down the freezer section fast
button h for 3 to 5 seconds until an acoustic
signal sounds.
The self-test program starts. While the self-test is
running, a long audible signal sounds in the
meantime.
If 2 acoustic signals sound and the set temperature is
displayed after the self-test has ended, your appliance
is OK.
If 5 acoustic signals sound and the freezer section
fast button h flashes for 10 seconds after the selftest has ended, there is a fault. Inform customer
service.
