• Molto spesso i bambini non possono rendersi conto dei pericoli a cui
sono esposti durante il maneggio con gli apparecchi domestici. Per-
tanto è necessario prendere degli idonei provvedimenti di salvaguar-
dia evitando inoltre di lasciar giocare i bambini con tali apparecchi!!
Nel servizio quotidiano
• I contentitori di gas infiammabili oppure liquidi mediante l’effetto del
freddo possono perdere la propria ermeticità. Pericolo di espolsione! Non
immagazzinare mai dei contenitori con sostanze infiammabili, come p.es.
bombole spray, accendini e cartucce di rifornimento, ecc. nell’apparecchio.
• Le bottiglie e le lattine non devono essere collocate nella cella di conge-
lamento. Queste possono scoppiare non appena si congela il contenuto,
mentre i liquidi contenenti anidride carbonica possono addirittura esplo-
dere! Non collocare mai della limonata, succhi, birra,vino, spumante, ecc.
Ad eccezione dei superalcoolici.
• Non ingoiare i gelati oppure i cubetti di ghiaccio appena estratti dalla cel-
la di congelamento. Il gelato oppure ghiaccio molto freddo si può incol-
lare alla lingua o alle labbra e causare quindi delle ferite.
• Non toccare i prodotti congelati con le mani bagnate. Le mani si potreb-
bero congelare sul prodotto.
• Non impiegare mai dei piccoli elettrodomestici (p.es. macchine elettriche
da gelato, mescolatori, ecc.) nell’apparecchio.
• Prima di eseguire i lavori di pulizia, é necessario disinserire l’apparecchio,
estrarre la spina oppure disinserire rispett. svitare il fusibile dell’abitazione.
• Estrarre la spina di rete dalla presa tirando sempre dalla parte della spina,
mai dal cavo.
Nel caso di una anomalia
• Se dovessero verificarsi delle anomalie, si prega di leggere le istruzioni del
capitolo “ Che cosa fare, se...”. Nel caso non siano sufficienti le avvertenze
riportate, si prega di non eseguire ulteriori lavori autonomi di riparazione
• Gli apparecchi devono essere riparati esclusivamente da persone specializ-
zate. Nella necessità di una riparazione, si prega di rivolgersi al proprio for-
nitore oppure presso il nostro servizio di assistenza.

Disposal
Appliance Packaging Information
All materials are environmentally sound! They can be dumped or burned at
an incinerating plant without danger!
About the materials: The plastics can be recycled and are identified as fol-
lows:
>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 chlorofluo-
rocarbon.
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. Remo-
ve plug from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any snap or
latch closures. This eliminates the danger that playing children lock them-
selves into the appliance (danger of suffocation!) or place themselves into
other life-endangering situations.

Attention:
After having reversed the ope-
ning direction of the doors check
that all the screws are
properly tightened and that the magnetic seal adheres to the cabinet. If the
ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the gasket may not fit perfec-
tly to the cabinet. in that case, wait for the natural fitting of the gasket or
accelerate this process by heating up the part involved with a normal hair-
drier.
Electrical connection
Before initial start-up, refer to the appliance rating plate to ascertain if sup-
ply voltage and current values correspond with those of the mains at the
installation location.
e.g.: AC 220 ... 240 V 50 Hz or
220 ... 240 V~ 50 Hz
(i.e. 220 to 240 volts alternating current, 50 Hertz)
The rating plate is inside the appliance on the left.
A correctly installed, earthed socket is required for the electrical supply. The
supply must have a fuse rating of at least 10 Amps.

4. Insert the plastic scraper into the
recess provided under the defrost
water channel and place a collecting
basin under it.
5. Once defrosting is completed keep
the scraper for future use;
6. Turn the thermostat knob to the
required setting or replace the plug
in the power socket.
Warning!
Never use metal tools to scrape off
the frost
Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the
thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during defrosting , may shor-
ten their safe storage life.

If the socket is not accessible once the appliance is built in, the electrical
installation must include suitable means of isolating the appliance from the
mains (e.g. fuse, cut-out, current trip or similar with a minimum contact
separation of 3 mm).
Attention: The mains connection cable may only be replaced by a skilled
electrician. Please contact your dealer or our customer service department
for repairs.
Prior to Initial Start–Up
• Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial start-
up (see section: “Cleaning and Care”).
The green pilot lamp (D), which comes on when the mains voltage is avai-
lable and the ON/OFF knob is pushed. Switch the temperature regulatore to
a number position, the refrigerating unit automatically operates by system
control.
The temperature regulator (E), which can be used for continuously variable
setting of the most energy saving storage temperature for your frozen food.
The optimum storage conditons occur at -18°C. The yellow pilot light (B)
comes on when the switch (C) has been pushed. The refrigerating unit then
operates continuously.

2. Press the fast freeze button 24 hours before introducing fresh food for free-
zing of fresh food. The yellow light comes on.
3. Place frozen foods in the drawers sorted by type, as far as possible.
Preparation of Ice Cubes
1. Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer com-
partment and leave to freeze.
2. To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend the ice cube tray or hold it under
running water for a few seconds.
Important! Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer com-
partment using pointed or sharp edged objects. Use the ice scraper supplied.
Ice pack
There are two ice packs in one drawer of the freezer.
In the event of a power failure or malfunction, the ice packs will lengthen
the amount of time it takes for the frozen food to become too warm by
several hours. The ice packs can only fulfil this task optimally if it is placed
in the uppermost drawer, at the front, above the frozen food. You can use
the ice packs for cooling cold bags.
Defrosting
The freezer compartment, however, will become progrssively covered with
frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided, whe-
never the tickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm. During this operation it is not
necessary to switch off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.
However when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete
defrosting should be carried out as follows:
1. Remove the frozen food from the freezer, wrap it in several layers of new-
spaper and put it in a very cool place.
2. Switch off the appliance and pull out the plug, or remove or unscrew the
safety fuses.
3. Leave the freezer compartment door open.

The red temperature pilot-lamp (A) blinks when:
– the appliance has been started up but the storage temperature has not
yet been attained;
– the minimum storage temperature is no longer being maintained (fault);
– excessive amounts of fresh food are placed inside; or
Important note: if you operate the fast-freeze switch or adjust the tempe-
rature regulator, it may happen that your appliance’s refrigeration motor
does not start immediately but only after some time. This does not mean
that your appliance has a fault.
Starting up and temperature regulation
Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to starting the
appliance. Plug in the appliance at the mains supply.
• Turn the ON/OFF knob (E). The green lamp (D) comes on.
• Turn the temperature regulator (E) in the direction of „1“.
• To reset the sound alarm push the botton (C) and the alarm light (A) blinks
until the reaching of the storage temperature .
• Operate the fast-freeze switch (C). The yellow pilot lamp (B) comes on by
pressing the switch (C) again .
• Only when the red lamp (A) has gone out should you reset the fast-free-
ze switch (C) the yellow light (B) goes out by pressing the switch (C) again.
Setting “0”: Off.
Setting “1”: Hightest temperature, (warmest setting).
Setting “4” (end-stop) : Lowest temperature, (coldest setting).
The exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature
inside the appliance depends on:
- the quantity of food stored
- how often the door is opened
- ambient temperature
Important:
Regularly check on the red temperature pilot lamp (A) that the required sto-
rage temperature is being maintained.

Freezing and storing frozen food
You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself.
Important!
• The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18 °C or colder
before freezing food.
• Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The
freezing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be
frozen within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food several
days in a row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4
of that on the rating plate. The quality of the food is best preserved
when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.
• Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause
increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
• Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufacturer.
• Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals)
may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
• Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures.
There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flamma-
ble materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill car-
tridges 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 free-
zer. Exception: high alcohol content spirits can be stored in the freezer.
• All foods must be packed air tight
prior to freezing, so that they do
not dry out or lose their flavour,
and so that no flavour contamina-
tion of other frozen goods occurs.
Caution! Do not touch frozen food
with wet hands. Your hands could
freeze to the food.
1. Place the packed food in the drawers.
Place food to be frozen As shown in
figure. Unfrozen food must not tou-
ch items already frozen, otherwise
the frozen food could begin to
defrost.
