stances should a damaged appliance be installed! In the event of damage,
please contact your retailer.
Installation
• This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when moving it.
• It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt to modify this pro-
duct in any way.
• Ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable. If
the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a cable available
from your local Service Force Centre.
• Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried
out by a qualified electrician or competent person.
• Parts which heat up should not be exposed. Whenever possible, the back
of the appliance should be close to a wall, but leaving the required
distance for ventilation, as stated in the installation instructions.
• The appliance should be left for 4 hours after installation before it is tur-
ned on, in order to allow the refrigerant to settle.

The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained within the refrigerant
circuit of the appliance, a natural gas with a high level of environmen-
tal 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.

Environmental Information
Packaging
All transit packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can
be reused. Wood is un-treated. The plastics can be recycled and are
identified as follows:
>PE< for polyethylene, e.g. the outer covering and the bags in the inte-
rior.
>PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g. the pads, which are pure hydrocarbon
compounds and can be recycled.
The carton parts are made from recycled paper. Please dispose of the
packaging with due care for the environment.
Old Appliances
When disposing of your old appliance:
Make the appliance unusable by cutting off the cable and remove any
door catches to ensure small children cannot be trapped inside.
Help to keep your country tidy - use an authorised disposal site.
Appliance Transport
Two persons are required for transport of the appliance. There are two
recessed handles at the front of the base and at the back of the appli-
ance at the top for improved gripping.
0 Grip the appliance with the recessed handles positioned as in the dra-
wing, and transport the appliance.
8 818 1703-01/1
0 In order to push the appliance into its final position, press carefully at
the top of the door and tip the appliance back slightly. The weight is
thus transferred to the back wheels and the appliance can be easily
pushed.
Before Use
Packaging
0 Remove all adhesive tape and packaging from the interior of the
appliance.
3
Any remnants of adhesive can be removed with white spirit.
0 Remove the transport protection pieces and pull off the adhesive tape.
0 Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water with a little
bicarbonate of soda added (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap
or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry the appliance thoroughly.
818 1703-01/1 9
Remove the transport fittings from
the storage shelves:
0 Slide the fittings securing the shelf
forward to the thicker section on
the edge of the storage shelf.
0 Slide the storage shelf far enough
forward so that it can be hinged
downwards and the fittings can be
removed from the guides.
Installation
Installation Location
The appliance should be installed in a well ventilated, dry room.
Energy use and efficient performance of the appliance is affected by
the ambient temperature.
The appliance should therefore
– not be exposed to direct sunlight;
– not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat;
– only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature corre-
sponds to the climate classification, for which the appliance is desi-
gned.
The climate classification can be found on the rating plate, which is
located at the left on the inside of the appliance.
The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for
each climate classification:
Climate classification for an ambient temperature of
SN +10 to +32 °C
N +16 to +32 °C
ST +18 to +38 °C
T +18 to +43 °C
Installation
10 818 1703-01/1
The refrigerator/freezer needs ventilation
Air is fed under the door through the
vent slots in the base and is exhausted
upwards along the back wall. To ensure
proper air circulation never cover or
alter the vent openings.
Important! If the appliance is installed
under a hanging cabinet, a clearance of
at least 10 cm between the top of the
appliance and the cabinet above it must
be maintained.
Please check whether, after installing
your appliance and especially after
rehingeing the door, the door seal seals
right round. An untight door seal may
lead to heavy frosting and a higher
power consumption (see also
"Something not working“).
Appliance Alignment
0 The appliance level please compensate for unevenness in the floor by
turning the two adjustable feet at the front.
Installation
818 1703-01/1 11
Electrical Connection
Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried
out by a qualified electrician or competent person.

WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures
not be observed.
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 appro-
ved (BS 1362) fuse must be used.

ing code:
Green and Yellow Earth
Blue Neutral
Brown Live
As the colours of the wires in the
mains lead of this appliance may
not correspond with the coloured
markings indentifying the termi-
nals in your plug, proceed as fol-
lows:
1. The wire coloured green and
yellow must be connected to
the terminal marked with the
letter "E“ or by the earth sym-
bol or coloured green and yellow.
2. The wire coloured blue must be connected to the terminal "N“ or
coloured black.
3. The wire coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked
"L“ or coloured red.
4. Upon completion there must be not cut, or stray strands of wire
present and the cord clamp must be secure over the outer sheat.
1
Warning! A cut-off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious
safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that the cut-off plug is disposed of safely.
