Starting up and temperature regulation  
Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water with a little bicar-  
bonate of soda added (5ml to 0,5 litre of water). Do not use soap or deter-  
gent as the smell may linger. Dry the appliance thoroughly.  
• When the refrigerator compartment door is opened, the internal lighting  
is switched on. The temperature control knob is located on the right hand  
side of the refrigerator compartment.  
B
Setting “0”: Off.  
Setting “1”: Hightest temperature, (warmest setting).  
Setting “6” (end-stop) : Lowest temperature, (coldest setting).  
D726  
The exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature  
inside the refrigerator depends on:  
-the quantity of food stored  
-how often the door is opened  
The temperatures in the refrigerator compartment and freezer compart-  
ment cannot be independently regulated.  
If you want to freeze fresh food rapidly, select setting “6”, ensuring that the  
temperature in the refrigerator compartment does not drop below 0°C. You  
should reset the temperature control knob to setting “3” or “4”, if this does  
occur.

Freezing and storing frozen food  
You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself.  
Important!  
• 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 free-  
zing 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 flamma-  
ble materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill car-  
tridges 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.  
• 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.  
Important! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could  
stick to the food.

Installation Location  
Ice pack  
This appliance should only be installed at a location where the ambient  
temperature corresponds to the climate classification indicated on the rat-  
ing plate, which is located on the inside left of the appliance.  
The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each  
climate classification.  
There is an ice pack in one drawer of the freezer.  
In the event of a power failure or malfunction, the ice pack will lengthen  
the amount of time it takes for the frozen food to become too warm by  
several hours. The ice pack can only fulfil this task efficiently if it is placed  
in the uppermost drawer, at the front, above the frozen food. You can use  
the ice pack for cooling cold bags.

Preparation of Ice Cubes  
The appliance should be located in a dry atmosphere, out of direct sunlight  
and away from continuous heat and extreme temperature, e.g. not next to  
a boiler or radiator, or in a very cold room e.g. an outhouse. If these tem-  
peratures are exceeded i.e. warmer or colder, then the appliance may not  
operate correctly.  
For building-in and door reversal instructions please refer to the relevant  
instructions on the following pages.  
1.  
Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer com-  
partment and leave to freeze.  
To loosen the frozen cubes, either twist the ice cube tray or hold it under  
running water for a few seconds.  
Important! Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer com-  
partment using pointed or sharp edged objects. Use the ice scraper supplied.

Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as  
that indicated on the appliance rating plate. The rating plate is inside, on the  
left.  
The appliance is supplied with a 13 amp plug fitted. In the event of having  
to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13 amp ASTA approved (BS 1362)  
fuse must be used.  
The freezer compartment, however, will become progressively covered with  
frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided,  
whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm. During this operation it  
is not necessary to switch off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.
