the doors have these characteristics:  
G
G
The doors should be at least 5/8 in. (16 mm)  
thick to allow the connecting rails to be fastened  
to them.  
With both doors closed, there should be a  
minimum of 1/8 in. (3 mm) between the upper and  
lower doors. Also, there should be an 1/8 in.  
(3 mm) clearance between the upper door and the  
cabinet door above it (if any).  
G
G
The top edge of the upper door (Fig. 8, 1) and  
lower door (Fig. 8, 2) should be even with the  
doors of adjoining cabinet(s), if any.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT  
SuperFrost - Figure 1  
Freezing and Storage  
Fresh food should be frozen completely and as  
rapidly as possible. Frozen food can also be given  
a cold boost. This is provided by the SuperFrost  
feature and ensures that the nutritional value,  
appearance and flavor of the food remain intact.  
Do Not Freeze:  
Lettuce, radishes, grapes, whole apples, pears and  
fatty meat.  
Food to Freeze:  
G
The maximum amount of food which can be  
frozen in 24 hours is shown on the model plate  
(Freezing capacity ... kg/24h), (Fig. 1, 30).  
This amount varies according to the model and  
climate rating.  
Meat, game, poultry, fresh fish, vegetables, fruit,  
dairy products, bread, baked goods, pre-cooked  
meals.  
G
Pack frozen food in standard freezer bags or  
reusable plastic, metal or aluminum containers.  
Freezing with SuperFrost - Figure 1  
G
Do not allow fresh food which is to be frozen  
to come into contact with food already frozen.  
Always keep packages dry in order to avoid  
them sticking together.  
Press the SuperFrost Button (Fig. 1, 4) briefly so  
it lights up. The freezer temperature will decrease  
and the appliance will change to the lowest  
temperature.  
G
Always write the date and contents on the  
package and do not exceed the stated storage  
time for the food. This prevents spoiling.  
For small amounts of frozen food, it is  
normally sufficient to turn ON SuperFrost  
six hours beforehand. For the maximum  
amount (see freezing capacity on the  
model plate) you will need to turn it ON  
24 hours before.  
G
Pack food which you are freezing yourself in  
quantities right for your household. To ensure  
the food freezes completely and quickly, the  
following quantities should not be exceeded per  
package:  
G
Then place the fresh food inside the freezer,  
preferably in the top drawers.  
- fruit, vegetables: up to 2-1/4 lbs (1 kg);  
- meat: up to 5-1/2 lbs (2.5 kg).  
If freezing the maximum quantity of food, do not  
use the drawers. Place the wrapped food directly  
on the shelves. Once the food is frozen, load it into  
the drawers.  
G
Blanch vegetables after washing and cutting  
them. (Add to boiling water for 2-3 minutes,  
remove and quickly cool down in cold water. If  
you blanch with a steamer or microwave oven,  
please follow the operating instructions.)  
G
The SuperFrost function turns OFF  
automatically. Depending on the quantity of  
food placed in the freezer, this will normally be  
between 30 hours and a maximum of 65 hours.  
The freezing process is now complete, the

Removing the shelf (Figure 34): Remove the  
2nd and 3rd drawers. Lift the front edge of the  
shelf up and pull it out.  
Storage  
Each drawer and shelf can take up to 55 lbs  
(25 kg) frozen food. By removing the 2nd and 3rd  
drawers and the shelf you can create a double-  
height space for large frozen food items. This  
enables you to freeze such things as poultry, large  
pieces of meat or large cakes without first having  
to cut them up, so they can be served whole”  
afterwards.  
To insert: simply slide shelf in and allow the  
front edge to click into place.  
G
Always store identical food items together to  
avoid the door being open for unnecessarily  
long periods and to save energy.  
G
Do not exceed storage times given.  
If you want to use the maximum net-capacity, you  
can remove the drawers and store items directly on  
the shelves.

LACERATION HAZARD!  
Only take out as much food as is needed for  
thawing. Cook food which has been thawed as  
quickly as possible. Frozen food can be thawed in  
the following ways:  
• To avoid possible injury, only adjust  
an empty shelf. Do not attempt to  
adjust a shelf with food on it.  
G
in a microwave oven  
Failure to follow these instructions  
may result in minor or moderate  
injury.  
G
in the refrigerator: the safer way to thaw food  
because there is less chance of bacteria growth  
and it saves energy. Use this method for high  
density food such as roasts or poultry.  
G
G
Flat portions of meat or fish can be cooked  
when partially thawed.  
Vegetables can be cooked from frozen  
(in half the normal time).

FREEZER COMPARTMENT  
Freezer Tray - Figure 35  
Information System - Figure 37  
The freezer tray is used for gently freezing berries,  
herbs, vegetables and other small items and  
prevents them from sticking together. Items being  
frozen will largely retain their shape, and it will be  
easier to remove exactly the right quantity later on.  
Use frozen food within the recommended period.  
The numbers between the symbols indicate the  
storage period in months for different kinds of  
frozen foods. Storage times given are guidelines  
for food frozen at home. Whether or not the lower  
or upper value is applicable depends on the food  
quality and how it was processed prior to freezing.  
The lower values always apply to food with a high  
fat content.  
G
Spread the items out loosely on the tray.  
G
Suspend the freezer tray in one of the top  
drawers. Freeze for 10 to 12 hours, then  
transfer to a freezer bag or container and put in

FREEZER COMPARTMENT  
To turn OFF  
To Start the IceMaker - Figure 39  
The IceMaker will only work if the combined  
refrigerator-freezer is connected to the electrical  
outlet. It will only make ice cubes if the freezer  
compartment is operating and if the minimum  
freezer temperature is 14°F (-10°C).  
If you do not need any ice cubes, the IceMaker can  
be turned off independently of the freezer  
compartment.  
G
Press the ON/OFFbutton for approximately  
1 second so the control lamp goes out.  
The IceMaker is in the top left drawer in the freezer  
compartment of the combined refrigerator-freezer.

Pull out the drawer.  
Press the ON/OFFbutton so the control lamp  
comes on (Figure 39).  
Note  
G
Close the drawer.  
The first three batches of ice must not be  
consumed or used. This will help ensure that the  
water supply lines are free of contaminants.  
Note  
The IceMaker can only make ice cubes if the  
drawer is completely closed.  
The production capacity depends on the  
temperature inside the freezer compartment. The  
lower the temperature, the more ice can be  
produced over a period of time.  
The ice cubes fall out of the icemaker into the  
drawer.When the ice reaches a certain level in the  
drawer, the appliance stops producing ice  
automatically.  
If you need a large quantity of ice you can change  
out the drawer to the right with the complete  
IceMakerdrawer. When you close the drawer the  
icemaker will immediately start production.

DEFROSTING/CLEANING  
G
G
G
G
We recommend treating stainless steel  
appliances with a special stainless steel  
cleaning agent after normal cleaning.  
Notes on Defrosting  
The NoFrost system automatically defrosts the  
appliance.  
Do not allow cleaning water to run down the  
drain gully or to penetrate the ventilation grilles  
or electrical components. Dry the appliance.  
In the refrigerator compartment  
The water that forms on the rear wall drains  
into an evaporation container at the back of the  
appliance and evaporates automatically through the  
compressor heat. Drops of water, or frozen drops of  
water, on the rear wall are perfectly normal.  
Ensure that the defrost water can flow freely  
through the defrost drain hole (Fig. 1, 17) in the  
rear wall (arrow in Fig. 1).  
Do not damage or remove the model plate on  
the inside of the appliance (Fig. 1A). It is very  
important for servicing purposes.  
The butter dish can be  
washed in a dishwasher.  
The racks, shelves and  
other components should be  
cleaned by hand.  
In the freezer compartment  
G
The shelves and door racks  
can be dismantled for  
cleaning (Figure 41).  
Any moisture arising collects on the evaporator  
and freezes, and is periodically defrosted and  
evaporated.  
Figure 41  
The automatic defrosting system keeps the freezer  
frost-free and eliminates the time and effort spent  
on defrosting manually.  
G
G
G
Remove the trim and sides  
from the glass shelves.  
Remove all protective film  
from the decorative trim.  
Cleaning  
Clean the drain hole (Fig. 1, 17) in the rear wall  
(arrow in Fig. 1) frequently. If necessary, clean  
with a thin object such as a cotton swab.  
WARNING  
!
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD!  
G
Then connect and turn ON the appliance and  
wait until the temperature reaches the set  
value before adding food. See Turning the  
Appliance ON and OFF.  
To prevent possible injury due to an  
electrical shock, be sure to disconnect  
the power cord or turn OFF the circuit  
breaker before replacing the interior  
light or cleaning the appliance.  
G
If the appliance is to be left turned OFF for any  
length of time, empty the appliance, disconnect  
from the power source, clean as described above  
and leave the door open so as to avoid odors.  
To avoid injury or damage, do not use  
steam cleaning equipment to clean the  
appliance.  
G
G
Energy Saving Tips  
Failure to follow these instructions  
could result in death or serious injury.  
G
Ensure there is adequate space around the  
appliance for ventilation and air extraction.  
G
G
Avoid keeping the door open for too long.  
Store food logically. Do not exceed the storage  
period specified.  
Clean the inside and equipment by hand with  
lukewarm water and a little detergent.  
G
G
Make sure to allow hot food to cool to room  
temperature before placing in the appliance.  
DO NOT use abrasive or scouring sponges. Do not  
use concentrated cleaning agents and never use  
abrasive or acid cleaners or chemical solvents.  
Keep the appliance door shut in the event of a  
breakdown. This will delay the cold loss and will  
help to maintain the quality of the frozen food  
longer.  
G
We recommend using a soft cloth and an all-  
purpose cleaner with a neutral pH value. Only  
use food compatible cleaning and care agents  
on the inside of the appliance.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
Your appliance is designed and manufactured for a  
long life and reliable operation.  
that even during the warranty period, some repair  
costs may be your responsibility.  
If a problem occurs during operation, check  
whether it is due to an operating error. Please note  
You may be able to correct the following faults by  
checking the possible causes yourself:  
Problem  
Possible Cause and Remedy  
- Is the appliance turned ON properly?  
- Is the power source plug properly inserted in the socket?  
- Is the circuit breaker or fuse in operating condition?  
Appliance does not work,  
display is OFF  
The interior light does  
not come ON  
- Is the refrigerator compartment turned ON?  
- Has the door been open for more than 15 minutes?  
- The bulb is defective. Change the bulb as described in Interior light.  
Loud running noise  
- Is the appliance standing firmly on the floor, or does the compressor  
cause nearby items of furniture or objects to vibrate? If necessary, move  
bottles and containers apart.  
- Bubbling noises are normal. These are caused by the refrigerant  
flowing around the refrigerant circuit.  
- A short clicking sound: This will be heard whenever the compressor  
turns ON or OFF automatically.  
- Motor noise: This will be slightly louder for a brief period when the  
compressor turns ON. The refrigerating capacity will increase when  
the SuperFrost function is activated, fresh food has just been placed in  
the appliance or the door has been left open for a while. A low-pitched  
humming sound is caused by air flow noises in the fan.  
The compressor continues  
to run for a long time  
On energy saving models, this is perfectly normal. When less refrigeration  
is required, the VCC compressor switches to a low speed. It will run almost  
constantly, but it still saves energy.  
- The alarm sounds,  
- the temperature is not  
cold enough  
- Have you put too much fresh food into the freezer without activating  
SuperFrost? See SuperFrost.  
- Does the door close properly?  
- Is the appliance sufficiently ventilated? Clean ventilation grilles if  
necessary.  
- Is the ambient temperature too hot? See Safety Regulations.  
- Has the appliance been opened too often or left open too long?  
- If applicable, wait until the appliance reaches the required temperature itself.  
appears in the  
display  
There has been a power failure; proceed as described in Power  
Failure/FrostControl Display.  
IceMaker is not making  
any ice.  
- Is the IceMaker turned on?  
- Is the water supply line open?  
- Is the IceMaker drawer closed properly?
