Starting Up - Setting the Temperature
1. Plug the mains plug into the mains socket.
2. Press ON/OFF button. The green mains pilot indicator illuminates. The
appliances start.
3. Press either the “C“ or “E“ button. The temperature display switches over and
the DESIRED temperature currently set flashes on the temperature display.
4. Set the required temperature by pressing the “C“ or “E“ buttons (see section
"Temperature setting buttons"). The temperature display will immediately
show the changed setting. Each time the button is pressed the temperatu-
re is adjusted by 1 °C.
From a food safety point of view +5 °C should be considered sufficiently
cold for storing food in the fridge.
5. Once the required temperature has been set, after a short period (approx. 5
sec.) the temperature display will change and again indicate the current
ACTUAL temperature inside the fridge. The display will change from flashing
to continuous illumination.
Information! When the setting is changed, the compressor does not start
immediately if automatic defrosting is currently taking place. As the stora-
ge temperature within the fridge is reached quickly you can store food
immediately after switching on.

TURBOCOOLMATIC

The TURBOCOOLMATIC function is suited for quick cooling of large quanti-
ties of goods in the refrigerator.
1. The TURBOCOOLMATIC function is switched on by pressing the TURBO-
COOLMATIC button. The yellow light illuminates.
The TURBOCOOLMATIC function now provides for intensive cooling. A DESI-
RED temperature of +3°C is automatically selected. The TURBOCOOLMATIC
function is ended automatically after a period of 6 hours.
2. The TURBOCOOLMATIC function can be ended manually at any time by
pressing the TURBOCOOLMATIC button again. The yellow light goes out.

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 free-
zing 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 contamination of
other frozen goods occurs.
Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could free-
ze to the food.
1. Place the packed food in the drawers. Place food to be frozen in the upper
compartment. Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen,
otherwise the frozen food could begin to defrost.
2. Place frozen foods in the drawers sorted by type, as far as possible.
