Technical safety ~ Before setting up the appliance, check it for any externally visible damage. Do not install and use a damaged appliance. A damaged appliance is dangerous. ~ If the connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced by a service technician authorised by the manufacturer to protect the user from danger. ~ This appliance contains t[...]

~ The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system which complies with current local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and tested regularly, and where there is any doubt, the household wiring system[...]

Correct use ~ Never handle frozen food with wet hands. Your hands may freeze to the frozen food. Danger of frost burn. ~ Do not take ice cubes out with your bare hands and never place ice cubes or ice lollies in your mouth straight from the freezer. The very low temperature of the frozen ice or lollies can cause frost burn to the lips and tongue. ~[...]

~ Do not use defrosting sprays or de-icers, as they might contain substances which could damage the plastic parts or which could cause the build-up of gases and pose a danger to health. ~ Do not use any oils or grease on the door seals, as these will cause the seals to deteriorate and become porous with time. ~ Do not store cooking oil in the refri[...]

Before using for the first time The stainless steel door (and sides, depending on model) and the stainless steel trim to the interior shelves and the door shelves have a layer of protective foil to prevent damage during transportation. ^ Do not remove this foil until the appliance has been installed or built in. ^ After removing the protective foil[...]

Switching off ^ Press the master switch on the right hand side of the control panel until both temperature displays go out. The interior light will not come on when you open the door and the cooling process will be switched off. To switch the refrigerator section off separately The refrigerator section can be switched off without having to switch o[...]

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:[...]

The newly selected temperature will be adopted automatically after a short while. The indicator for the temperature which has been set for the refrigeration section will light up. The indictator for the temperature which has been set for the freezer section will flash until that temperature is reached. The temperature can be set to be slightly cold[...]

This loss of coldness is no cause for concern in the following circumstances: – when the door has been left open for a while, e.g. for removing or storing a large amount of food, – when fresh food is being frozen. However, if the temperature in the freezer section remains above -18 °C for a long time, check that the frozen food has not started[...]

Your appliance has been fitted with a warning system which ensures that the temperature in the freezer section cannot rise unnoticed and to avoid energy being wasted if a door is left open. Activating the alarm system The alarm system is always active. It does not have to be switched on manually. Temperature alarm If the freezer section temperature[...]

Super freeze Switch the Super freeze function on before putting fresh food into the freezer. This helps food to freeze quickly and retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours and appearance. Super freeze is not necessary: – when placing food in the freezer that is already frozen. – when freezing up to 2 kg fresh food daily. Switching on Super free[...]

Dynamic cooling m When the Dynamic cooling function is not switched on, the natural circulation of air in the appliance will cause different temperature zones in the refrigerator as the cold, heavy air will sink to the lowest section of the appliance. You should bear this in mind when placing food in the appliance (see "Using the refrigerator [...]

Different storage zones Due to the natural circulation of the air in the appliance, there are different temperature zones in the refrigerator. Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest section of the appliance. Make use of the different zones when placing food in the appliance. This appliance has Dynamic cooling, which helps to keep an even temperature w[...]

Food which should not be stored in a refrigerator Not all food is suitable for refrigeration, as some food is sensitive to cold. Cucumbers, for example, become glassy, aubergines bitter and potatoes sweet. Tomatoes and oranges lose their aroma, and the peel on citrus fruit hardens. Food which should not be stored in a refrigerator includes: – pin[...]

– Examples of fruit and vegetables which react strongly to the natural gases given off by other types of fruit and vegetables are: Kiwis, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, mangos, honeydew melons, apples, apricots, cucumbers, tomatoes, pears, nectarines and peaches. Example : Broccoli should not be stored with apples, as apples produce a l[...]

Moving the shelves The shelves 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 touching the back of the applia[...]

Maximum freezing capacity To ensure that fresh food placed in the freezer freezes through to the core as quickly as possible, the maximum freezing capacity must not be exceeded. The maximum freezing capacity for freezing within a 24-hour period is given on the data plate: "Freezing capacity ....kg/24 hrs". The maximum freezing capacity gi[...]

Home freezing Only freeze fresh food which is in a good condition. Hints on home freezing – The following types of food are suitable for freezing: Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish, vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy products, pastry, leftovers, egg yolks, egg whites and a range of pre-cooked meals. – The following types of food are not suitab[...]

Before placing food in the freezer ^ When freezing more than 2 kg of fresh food, switch on the Super freeze function for some time before placing the food in the freezer (see "Super freeze"). This helps food that is already in the freezer section to stay frozen. Placing food in the freezer Food to be frozen can be placed anywhere in the f[...]

Most vegetables can be cooked while still frozen. Just put straight into boiling water or hot fat. The cooking time is slightly less than that of fresh vegetables due to changes in the cell structure. Never re-freeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume defrosted food as soon as possible as it will lose its nutritional value and spoil if left[...]

Cool pack The cool pack prevents the temperature in the freezer rising too quickly in the event of a power cut. Place the cool pack in the upper drawer directly on top of food, or in the freezer tray to save space. The cool pack will be at its most effective after it has been in the freezer for approx. 24 hours. If there is a power cut, place the c[...]

Refrigerator section The refrigerator 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 appliance. The condensate is drained away via a channel and drain hole into [...]
