Important Safety Instructions • Please make old appliances unusable prior to disposal. Pull out the mains plug, cut off the mains cable, break or remove spring or bolt catches, if fitted. By doing this you ensure that children cannot lock themselves in the appliance when playing (there is risk of suffocati- on!) or get themselves into other dangerous situations.
Disposal Appliance Packaging Information All materials are environmentally sound! They can be disposed of or burned at an incinerating plant without danger. About the materials: The plastics can be recycled and are identified as follows: >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. the outer covering and the bags in the interior.
Installation Installation Location The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room. Energy use and efficient performance of the appliance is affected by the ambient temperature. The appliance should therefore – not be exposed to direct sunlight; –...
Installation Your refrigerator needs ventilation Integratable models (i-appliances) min. 200 cm The integrated door of the furniture cabi- net largely seals the installation recess. i- appliances must therefore be provided with ventilation by having an opening in the furniture plinth. The warmed air must be able to be exhausted upwards through the air shaft on the furniture back.
Installation Important note! In order not to impair the function of the appliance, never cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. Installation See installation instructions supplied. Please check whether, after installing your appliance and especially after rehingeing the door, the door seal seals right round. An untight door seal may lead to heavy frosting and thereby to a higher power consumption (see also „What to do if...“).

Interior Accessories Storage Shelves/Storage Racks Depending on the model, your appliance is equipped with either glass storage shelves or storage racks. The glass shelf above the fruit and vegetable compartment must always remain in this position so that fruit and vegetables stay fresh longer. The remaining storage shelves can be adjusted to various heights: 1.
Interior Accessories Moisture regulation (not on all models) On some models, there is an adjusta- ble air grille in front of the shelf above the fruit and vegetable com- partments. The opening in the ventilation slots can be steplessly adjusted with a sli- der.
Correct Storage For physical reasons, there are diffe- rent temperature regions in the fridge. The coldest region is on the lowest storage shelf. Warmer regions are the top storage shelf, the vegetable basket and the storage compartments on the door. The arrangement example shows at which places in the refrigerator sui- table temperatures for various types...
Cleaning and Care For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior acces- sories, should be cleaned regularly. Warning! • The appliance may not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.
Energy Saving Tips • Do not install the appliance near boilers, radiators or other sources of heat. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent operation of the compressor. • Ensure sufficient air circulation and exhaust at the appliance base and at the back wall of the appliance. Never cover air vent openings. •...
