~ This appliance contains the coolant Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is flammable, it does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect. The use of this coolant has, however, led to a slight increase in the noise level of the appliance. In addition to the noise of the compre[...]

~ Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating). ~ The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when it is correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety requiremen[...]

Correct use ~ The appliance is designed for use within certain climate ranges (ambient temperatures), and should not be used outside this range. The climate range for your appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance. Installing it in a room with too low an ambient temperature, e.g. a garage, can lead to the appliance switching off fo[...]

~ When cooling drinks quickly in the freezer, make sure bottles are not left in for more than one hour, otherwise they could burst, resulting in injury or damage. ~ Observe the "use-by" dates given on food to avoid the risk of food poisoning. Storage times will depend on several factors, including the freshness and quality of the food as [...]

~ Never place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to defrost it. These can damage the plastic parts. ~ Do not use defrosting sprays or de-icers, as they might contain substances which could damage the plastic parts or which could cause a build-up of gases and pose a danger to health. ~ Do not use a steam-cleaning appliance to defrost or cl[...]

Cleaning ^ Clean the inside of the appliance and the accessories with lukewarm water and a[...]

It is very important to set the correct temperature for storing food in the appliance. Micro-organisms will cause food which is not stored at the correct temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influences the growth rate of these micro-organisms. Reducing the temperature reduces their growth rate. The temperature in the appliance will rise:[...]

Temperature selection The temperature is set with the temperature selector. ^ Turn the temperature selector to a setting between 1 and 7. The higher the setting, the lower the temperature in the appliance. A middle range setting is usually sufficient. However, if frozen food is to be stored in the freezer compartment then a setting of between 4 and[...]

With very low ambient temperatures at or below 18 °C the freezer compartment may not be able to maintain its temperature which could result in frozen food beginning to thaw. The winter setting is designed to prevent this happening. To activate the winter setting ^ Press the switch for the winter setting to "1". The compressor will switch[...]

Different storage zones Due to the natural circulation of the air in the appliance, there are different temperature zones in the refrigerator.

Unpacked meats and vegetables Unpackaged meat and vegetables should be stored separately. To avoid any microbiological cross-contamination, these foods may only be stored together if they are wrapped. Protein rich foods Please note that foods rich in protein deteriorate faster than others. Shellfish, for example, deteriorates faster than fish, and [...]

Moving the shelves The shelves in the refrigerator section can be adjusted according to the height of the food. ^ Raise the shelf, and pull it forwards slightly until the notch at the side is in line with the shelf support. It can then be raised or lowered to the required level. ^ The raised edge at the back must face upwards to prevent food from t[...]

Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked. Ice cubes ^ Fill the ice tray three quarters full with water and place it on the bottom of the freezer compartment. ^ Once [...]

Refrigerator section The refrigerator section defrosts automatically. Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the refrigerator section whilst it is in use. You do not need to remove this, as it will defrost and evaporate automatically with the warmth generated by the compressor. The condensate is drained away via a channel and drain h[...]

To defrost Carry out the defrosting procedure as quickly as possible. The longer the food is left out at room temperature, the faster it defrosts. Do not use a steam-cleaning appliance to aid the defrosting process. Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Never place electric heaters or candles etc. inside the appliance t[...]

Make sure that water cannot get into the On/Off and temperature selector dial, the light or the ventilation gaps. Do not let water get into the condensate channel and drain hole when cleaning. Do not use steam cleaning apparatus to defrost or clean the appliance. Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. The data plate loca[...]
