Before using for the first time ^ Clean the inside of the appliance and the accessories with lukewarm water and a little washing up liquid, and then dry with a soft cloth. Important: To ensure the correct functioning of the appliance, let it stand for approx.
To select settings for your appliance (e.g. to set the temperature, etc), ^ touch the sensor for the particular zone of the appliance where you would like to select the settings. The applicable sensor will then be highlighted in yellow, and depending on the zone, further settings which may be selected will now appear in the display.

^ Leave your finger on the X sensor for another 4 seconds until c and the Y sensor also appear in the display. ^ Now touch the X sensor repeatedly until b appears in the display.
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.
– Touching the sensor once: adjusts the temperature shown in 1 °C steps. – Keeping your finger on the sensor: changes the temperature continuously. If the highest or lowest temperature that it is possible to set is reached, the X or Y sensor will disappear from the display.
^ Now touch the X sensor repeatedly until † appears in the display. ^ Touch the access sensor again. ^ By touching the X sensor, you can now set the temperature to be displayed in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
Your appliance has been fitted with a warning system which ensures that the temperature in the appliance cannot rise unnoticed and to avoid energy being wasted if the door is left open. Activating the alarm system The alarm system is always active. It does not have to be switched on manually.
Switching the door alarm off early If the noise disturbs you, you can switch the alarm off early if you wish. ^ Touch the sensor for switching the temperature or door alarm off. The alarm will stop and the sensor for switching the temperature or door alarm off will go out.
The Super cool function can be used to rapidly reduce the temperature in the refrigerator to its lowest setting (depending on the room temperature). Switching on Super cool Super cool is particularly recommended for the faster chilling of large amounts of fresh food or drink.
Different storage zones Due to the natural circulation of the air in the appliance, there are different temperature zones in the refrigerator. Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest section of the appliance. Make use of the different zones when placing food in the appliance.
Ensure that when placing food in the refrigerator, a gap of at least 35 mm is maintained under the ceiling of the appliance to enable the air to circulate freely. Only use the area to the front of the refrigerator zone floor to place food temporarily.
Food is stored at a lower temperature in the MasterFresh zone than in the refrigerator section. The humidity in the MasterFresh zone compartments can also be regulated to suit the food being stored, providing ideal storage conditions and ensuring that food stays fresh considerably longer while retaining both flavour and vitamins.
You cannot store food that likes high humidity in a drawer with food that prefers a dry atmosphere. However, you can store several types of food from the same humidity/dry group at the same time. ^ The food can now be placed in the MasterFresh drawer.
Can all types of food be stored together? Do not place all types of food together in one drawer. Some types of food do not store well together. Aromas and flavours can transfer from one type of food to another (e.g. carrots absorb the smell and flavour of onions very easily).
The following tips may help if you find that food you have stored does not keep well (e.g. food becomes limp or wilts after only being stored for a short time): ^ Only use the appliance for storing fresh food. The condition of the food when it is first placed in the appliance is an important factor in determining how long it stays fresh.
Moving the shelves The shelves can be adjusted according to the height of the food. ^ Hold the shelf on both sides and raise it slightly so that it can be lifted over the catches at the back. ^ Pull the shelf forwards. ^ Place the shelf at the required level, ensuring that it has engaged in the catches at the back.
^ Use a screwdriver or similar to turn the pin so that the slot in the head is horizontal a . ^ Raise the snap fittings on both sides b , and lift the MasterFresh drawer up and out. To avoid damaging the telescopic runners, make sure that they are pushed back into the appliance.
To remove the door shelf altogether, ^ Slide it up the side runners to the very top, then lift it out. To replace the door shelf ^ Engage the door shelf in the runners at the top, and push it down to the position required. For the purposes of loading and unloading or to clean, the containers can be removed from their holders completely.
Refrigerator section and MasterFresh zone Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the refrigerator section and the MasterFresh zone whilst in use. You do not need to remove this, as it will defrost and evaporate automatically with the warmth generated by the appliance.
Make sure that water cannot get into the electronic unit or into the ventilation gaps. Do not use steam cleaning apparatus to clean the appliance. Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. The data plate located inside the appliance must not be removed.
Aluminium frames The frames on the shelves inside the appliance and in the door are made from aluminium. Aluminium is affected by the way that light falls on it, by the surrounding environment and by the angle you observe it from. It is also susceptible to scratching.
Ventilation gaps ^ The ventilation gaps should be cleaned on a regular basis with a brush or vacuum cleaner. A build-up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance. Door seal Do not use any oils or grease on the door seal as these will cause the seal to deteriorate and become porous over time.
Repairs to electrical appliances should only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current local and national safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.
