Caring for the environment  
Disposal of the packing  
material  
Disposal of your old appliance  
Please ensure that the appliance  
presents no danger to children while  
being stored for disposal.  
The transport and protective packing  
has been selected from materials which  
are environmentally friendly for  
disposal, and can normally be  
recycled.  
It should be unplugged or  
disconnected from the mains electricity  
supply by a competent person. The  
plug must be rendered useless and the  
cable cut off directly behind the  
appliance to prevent misuse. See the  
"Warning and Safety" section of this  
booklet for further details.  
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,  
bags etc. are disposed of safely and  
kept out of the reach of babies and  
young children. Danger of suffocation!  
Rather than just throwing these  
materials away, please ensure that they  
are recycled.  
Electrical and electronic appliances  
often contain materials which, if  
handled or disposed of incorrectly,  
could be potentially hazardous to  
human health and to the environment.  
They are, however, essential for the  
correct functioning of your appliance.  
Please dispose of your old appliance at  
your local community waste collection /  
recycling centre and not with your  
household waste.  
Take care not to damage the pipework  
at the back of it before or during  
transportation to an authorised  
collection depot.  
In this way, refrigerant in the pipework  
and oil in the compressor will be  
contained, and will not leak out into the  
environment.

The correct temperature  
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.  
Setting the temperature in the  
refrigerator  
Use the two buttons underneath the  
temperature display to set the  
temperature for the refrigerator.

The correct temperature  
If you have adjusted the temperature,  
wait for approx. 6 hours if the  
appliance is not very full and for  
approx. 24 hours if the appliance is  
full, before checking the temperature  
display, as it will take this long for the  
display to give an accurate reading. If,  
after this time, the temperature is still  
too high or too low, you will need to  
adjust it again.  
Temperature display brightness  
The appliance is supplied with the  
brightness of the temperature display  
set as low as possible. However, if the  
door is opened, a setting changed or if  
the alarm is sounding, the temperature  
display will appear much brighter for  
approx. 1 minute.  
The level of brightness can be  
adjusted:  
Temperature range  
The temperature can be adjusted from:  
2 °C to 9 °C.  
The ambient temperature in the room  
and the installation location can affect  
the time it takes for the appliance to

containing propellants (e.g. spray  
cans). Danger of explosion.  
If storing alcohol with a high  
percentage proof, make sure it is  
tightly closed, and store upright.  
Warmest area  
Do not store cooking oil in the  
refrigerator door.  
Traces of oil can cause stress  
cracks to occur in the plastic  
components in the door.  
The warmest area is in the top section  
of the door. Use this for storing butter  
and cheese.  
Coldest area  
Food must not touch the back wall of  
the appliance, as it may freeze to the  
back wall.  
The coldest area in a refrigerator is  
directly above the vegetable  
containers.  
Use this for all delicate and highly  
perishable food, e.g.  
Food which should not be  
stored in a refrigerator  
– fish, meat, poultry,  
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration.  
This includes:  
– sausage products, ready meals,  
– dishes or baked goods containing  
eggs or cream,  
– Fruit and vegetables which are  
sensitive to cold, such as bananas,  
avocado pears, papaya, passion  
fruit, aubergines, peppers, tomatoes  
and cucumbers  
– fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or  
quiche dough,  
– soft cheese and other dairy  
products,  
– Fruit which is not yet ripe  
– Potatoes  
– pre-packed vegetables and other  
fresh food with a label stating it  
should be kept at a temperature of  
approx. 4 °C.  
– Some hard cheeses, e.g. Parmesan

Using the refrigerator efficiently  
When shopping for food  
Fruit and vegetables  
The freshness of food when first placed Fruit and vegetables may be stored  
in the appliance is an important factor  
in determining how long it stays fresh.  
Time out of the refrigerator e.g. during  
transportation should be kept to a  
minimum. For example, do not allow  
food to stay in a hot car for too long.  
Once food has started to deteriorate,  
this process cannot be reversed. As  
little as two hours outside the  
loose in the vegetable containers.  
However, you should bear in mind that  
aromas and flavours can transfer from  
one type of food to another (e.g. carrots  
absorb the smell and flavour of onions  
very easily). Some food also gives off a  
natural gas (ethylene) which speeds up  
the rate at which other food perishes.  
Some fruit and vegetables react

strongly to this gas and should not be  
stored together.  
– Examples of fruit and vegetables  
which produce a large amount of  
this natural gas are:  
Storing food correctly  
Store food covered or packaged. This  
will prevent food smells from affecting  
other foods, food from drying out, and  
also any cross-contamination of  
bacteria. The growth of bacteria, such  
as salmonella, can be avoided by  
setting the correct temperature and  
maintaining good standards of hygiene.  
Apples, apricots, pears, nectarines,  
peaches, plums, avocado pears,  
figs, blueberries, melons and beans.  
– 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 large amount of natural  
gas to which broccoli is very  
sensitive. The result is a shorter than  
expected storage time for the  
broccoli.

Using the refrigerator efficiently  
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 fish deteriorates  
faster than meat.

Meat should be stored unwrapped.  
(Undo wrappings slightly to leave meat  
loosely covered, and leave containers  
open). This permits air to circulate  
around the meat, allowing the surface  
to dry slightly, which helps prevent the  
growth of bacteria. To prevent the risk  
of bacterial cross-contamination, do not  
let meat come into direct contact with  
other foods.

However, if the opening angle of the  
door needs to be limited for any reason,  
the hinge can be adjusted to  
accommodate this.  
– For example, if the appliance door  
hits an adjacent wall when opened,  
the opening angle can be limited to  
90°.  
^ Place the locking pins supplied for  
limiting the door opening into the  
hinges from above.  
To do this, use the allen key supplied to  
adjust the door hinges.  
The door opening angle is now limited  
to 90°.  
aTo reduce the opening angle:  
^ Turn the allen key clockwise.  
This tightens the hinges and makes it
