Safety
The safety aspects of our refrigerators/freezers comply with accepted technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. Nevertheless, we
consider it our obligation to make you aware of the following safety information:

Intended use
The refrigerator is intended for use in the home. It is suitable for the cooling, freezing and storing of frozen food, as well as for making ice. If the
appliance is used for purposes other than those intended or used incorrectly, no liability can be accepted by the manufacturer for any damage
that may be caused.
Alterations or changes to the freezer are not permitted for reasons of
safety.
If you use the refrigerator in a commercial application or for purposes
other than the cooling, freezing or frozen storage of foods,please observe all valid legal regulations for your application.

Prior to initial startup

Check the refrigerator for transport damage. Under no circumstance
should a damaged appliance be plugged in! In the event of damage, please
contact the vendor.

Refrigerant
The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained within the refrigerant circuit
of the appliance, a natural gas with a high level of environmental compatibility, which is nevertheless flammable.
During transportation and installation of the appliance, be certain that
none of the components of the refrigerant circuit become damaged.
If the refrigerant circuit should become damaged:
avoid open flames and sources of ignition;
thoroughly ventilate the room in which the appliance is situated.

Safety of children
Packaging (e.g. wraps, polystyrene) can be dangerous for children. There is
a risk of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from children!
Please make old appliances unusable prior to disposal. Pull out the mains
plug, cut off the mains cable, break or remove spring or boltcatches, if fitted. By doing this you ensure that children cannot lock themselves in the
fridge when playing (there is risk of suffocation!)or get themselves into
other dangerous situations.
Often children cannot recognise the hazards present in household
4

appliances. It is therefore important that you ensure adequate supervision

and never let children play with the appliance!

Daily Operation
Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures.
There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flammable materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.
Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer compartment. 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 freezer compartment. Exception: high alcohol content spirits can be
stored in the freezer compartment.
Do not put ice creams or ice cubes in the mouth immediately after removal from the freezer compartment. Very cold ice can freeze to the lips or
tongue and cause injury.
Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze to the
food.
Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigerator/freezer (e.g.
electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.).
Before cleaning the appliance, always switch off the appliance and unplug
it, or pull the house fuse or switch off the circuit breaker.
When unplugging always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull
on the cable.

In case of malfunction
If the a malfunction occurs on the appliance, please look first in the "What
to do if ..." section of these instructions. If the information given there
does not help, please do not perform any further repairs yourself.
Refrigerators/freezers may only be repaired by qualified service engineers.
Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards. If your appliance needs
repairing, please contact your local Service Force Centre.

Disposal
Appliance Packaging Information
All materials are environmentally sound! They can be dumped 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.
>PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g. the pads, which are all free of chlorofluorocarbon.
5

The carton parts are made from recycled paper and should be disposed of
at a waste-paper recycling collection location.

Disposal of old Appliances

For environmental reasons, refrigeration appliances must be disposed of
properly. This applies to your old appliance, and - at the end of its service
life - for your new appliance as well.
Warning! Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable. Remove plug from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any snap or
latch closures. This eliminates the danger that playing children lock themselves into the appliance (danger of suffocation!) or place themselves into
other life-endangering situations.

Disposal:
The appliance may not be disposed of with domestic waste or bulky refuse.
The refrigerant circuit, especially the heat exchanger at the back of the
appliance, may not be damaged.
The symbol
on the product or on its packaging indicates that
this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it
should be taken to the appropriate collection point for the recycling
of electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is
disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could
otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this product. For more detailed information about recycling of this product,

greater humidity. Open the slots to
obtain a cooler temperature and less
humidity.

PR271

Drawer
The drawer is suitable for storing
fruit and vegetables. There is a
separator inside the drawer that
can be placed in different positions to allow for the subdivision
best suited to personal needs.
There is a grille on the bottom of
the drawer to separate the fruit
and vegetables from any humidity
that may form on the bottom
surface.
To remove the drawer, use the side handles (as shown in the drawing).
All parts inside the drawer can be removed for cleaning purposes.

a
special
D.A.C.(Dynamic Air Cooling) fan
which can be turned on with the
switch B with the green light on,
means that the fan is working.
As a suggestion the fan (D.A.C.)
should be used with ambient
temperature exceeding 25C .
This device allows for rapid cooling of foods and a more uniform
temperature in the compartment.

Fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance:
do not store warm food or evaporating liquid in the refrigeator
do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
Position food so that air can circuiate freely round it.
Useful hints:
Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above
the vegetable drawer(s)For safety, store in this way only one or two days
at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc: these should be covered and may be placed
on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the
special drawer(s) provided.
Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or
wapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bootles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle
rack on the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in
the refrigerator.

10

Freezing and storing frozen food

You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself.

Important!

1.

2.

3.

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 freezing 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 flammable materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges 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 freezer. 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 freeze to the food.
To freeze fresh food activate the Action Freeze function (*) at least 24
hours before placing the food to be frozen in the freezer compartment. Move the Twist&Serve ice dispenser to the middle of the shelf
on which it is hooked.
Move the shelf to the middle seat, keeping it horizontal.
Place the fresh food to freeze on the shelf.
After 24 hours,when the freezing process is completed,return to the
required temperature by pressing the button A.
Not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
11

When switching on or after an idle period, it is advisable to operate

the appliance to the coldest setting for at least 2 hours before introducing deep-frozen food.
To do this, select the Action Freeze function (*).
To obtain best results it is advisable to keep the freezer shelf on the
middle seats.

Using of the Twist&Serve ice maker

This appliance is equipped with
one or more trays for the production and the storage of ice-cubes.
Twist&Serve ice maker is positioned in the freezer compartment under the shelf.
It consists of a double ice tray
dispenser and of an ice box.
It is possible to shift the Ice Dispenser left or right according to
your space needs.
Pull the double tray Ice Maker
and fill the trays with water at
3/4 of their maximum capacity.
After the water has been frozen,
twist the trays knob in the direction of the arrow so that the ice
cubes fall directly into the box
below. Pull out the Ice box and
pick up the Ice cubes.

Freezing Calendar
The symbols on the drawers show different types of frozen goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types
of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating
before freezing. The lower value applies to foods with high fat content.
