Safetyen
1.5Safe installation WARNING Risk of electric shock!
Incorrect installation is dangerous. Connect and operate the appliance only in accordance with the
specifications on the rating plate. Connect the appliance to a power supply with alternating cur-
rent only via a properly installed socket with earthing. The protective conductor system of the domestic electrical in-
stallation must be properly installed. Never equip the appliance with an external switching device,
e.g. a timer or remote control. When the appliance is installed, the mains plug of the power
cord must be freely accessible. If free access is not possible, an isolating switch must be integrated into the permanent electrical installation according to the installation regulations. When installing the appliance, check that the power cable is not trapped or damaged. If the insulation of the power cord is damaged, this is dangerous. Never let the power cord come into contact with heat sources.
WARNING Risk of explosion! If the appliance’s ventilation openings are sealed, a leak in the refrigeration circuit may result in a flammable mixture of gas and air. Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the
built-in structure, clear of obstruction. WARNING Risk of fire!
It is dangerous to use an extended power cord and non-approved adapters. Do not use extension cables or multiple socket strips. Only use adapters and power cords approved by the manufac-
turer. If the power cord is too short and a longer one is not available,
please contact an electrician to have the domestic installation adapted.

enSafety
Portable multiple socket strips or portable power supply units may overheat and cause a fire. Do not place portable multiple socket strips or power supply
units on the back of the appliance. 1.6Safe use
WARNING Risk of electric shock! An ingress of moisture can cause an electric shock. Only use the appliance in enclosed spaces. Never expose the appliance to intense heat or humidity. Do not use steam- or high-pressure cleaners to clean the appli-
ance. WARNING Risk of suffocation!
Children may put packaging material over their heads or wrap themselves up in it and suffocate. Keep packaging material away from children. Do not let children play with packaging material. Children may breathe in or swallow small parts, causing them to suffocate. Keep small parts away from children. Do not let children play with small parts.
WARNING Risk of explosion! If the cooling circuit is damaged, flammable refrigerant may escape and explode. To accelerate the defrosting process, do not use any other
mechanical devices or means other than those recommended by the manufacturer. If food is stuck to the freezer compartment, loosen it with a blunt implement such as the handle of a wooden spoon. Products which contain flammable propellants and explosive substances may explode, e.g. spray cans. Do not store products which contain flammable propellants (e.g. spray cans) or explosive substances in the appliance.

Safetyen
WARNING Risk of fire! Electrical devices within the appliance may cause a fire, e.g. heaters or electric ice makers. Do not operate electrical devices within the appliance.
WARNING Risk of injury! Injury to the eyes caused by escaping flammable refrigerant and hazardous gases. Do not damage the tubes of the refrigerant circuit or the insula-
tion. CAUTION Risk of harm to health!
To prevent food from being contaminated, you must observe the following instructions. If the door is open for an extended period of time, this may lead
to a considerable temperature increase in the compartments of the appliance. Regularly clean the surfaces that may come into contact with food and accessible drain systems. Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator so that they do not touch or drip on other food. If the fridge/freezer is empty for an extended period of time, switch off the appliance, defrost it, clean it and leave the door open to prevent the formation of mould. Metal or metal-style parts in the appliance may contain aluminium. If acidic food comes into contact with aluminium in the appliance, aluminium foil ions may pass into the food. Do not consume soiled food. 1.7Damaged appliance
WARNING Risk of electric shock! If the appliance or the power cord is damaged, this is dangerous. Never operate a damaged appliance. Never pull on the power cord to unplug the appliance. Always
unplug the appliance at the mains. If the appliance or the power cord is damaged, immediately un-
plug the power cord or switch off the fuse in the fuse box.

Preventing material damage

Preventing material damage
ATTENTION! Using the base, runners or appliance doors as a seat surface or climbing surface may damage the appliance. Do not stand or support yourself
on the base, runners or doors. Contamination with oil or fat may cause plastic parts and door seals to become porous. Keep plastic parts and door seals
free of oil and grease. Metal or metal-style parts in the appliance may contain aluminium. When aluminium comes into contact with acidic foods, it corrodes and discolours. Only store packaged food in the
appliance. If you clean fittings and accessories in the dishwasher, this may cause them to become deformed or discolour. Never clean fittings and accessory
in the dishwasher.

11Refrigerator compart- Refrigeratorcompartment ment
You can keep meat, sausage, fish, Refrigeratorcompartment dairy products, eggs, prepared meals and pastries in the refrigerator compartment. The temperature can be set from 2 °C to 6 °C. The refrigerator compartment can also be used to store highly perishable foods in the short to medium term. The lower the selected temperature, the longer the food remains fresh.

18

11.1Tips for storing food in the refrigerator compartment
¡ Only store food when fresh and undamaged.
¡ Store food covered or in air-tight packaging.
¡ To avoid impeding the circulation of air and to prevent food from freezing, do not place food so that it has direct contact with the back wall.
¡ Allow hot food and drinks to cool down first before placing in the appliance.
¡ Observe the best-before date or use-by date specified by the manufacturer.
11.2Chill zones in the refrigerator compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment creates different chill zones.
Coldest zone The coldest zone is in the storage container. Tip: Store highly perishable food such as fish, sausages and meat in the coldest zone.
Warmest zone The warmest zone is at the very top of the door. Tip: Store food that does not spoil easily in the warmest zone, e.g. hard cheese and butter. Cheese can then continue to release its aroma and the butter will still be easy to spread.

13.1Defrosting in the refrigerator compartment
When the appliance is operating, condensation droplets or frost form on the rear panel of the refrigerator compartment due to functional reasons. The back panel in the refrigerator compartment defrosts automatically. Condensation runs through the condensation channel into the drainage hole to the evaporation pan and does not have to be wiped away. To ensure that the condensation can drain and odours do not form, observe the following information: Cleaning the condensation channel and drainage hole Page 21.
