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 forpurposes other than the cooling, freezing or frozen storage of foods,please observe all valid legal regulations for your application.

Prior to initial startÐup

¥ 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:

Ðavoid open flames and sources of ignition;

Ðthoroughly 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

24

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 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 specialist dealer or our Customer Service.

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.

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.

¥Information concerning collection schedules or locations can be obtained from the local disposal authorities or town hall.

Remove transport safeguard

The appliance and the interior fittings are protected for transport.

¥ Remove all adhesive tape and packing pieces from the interior of the appliance.

You can remove any remnants of adhesive using white spirit.

Installation

Installation Location

The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room.

Energy use is affected by the ambient temperature. The appliance should therefore

Ðnot be exposed to direct sunlight;

Ðnot be installed next to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat;

Ðonly be installed at a location whose ambient temperature corresponds to the climate classification, for which the appliance is designed.

The climate classification can be found on the serial 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: each climate classification:

+16 bis +32 ¡C

 

 

 

ST

 

+18 bis +38 ¡C

 

 

 

T

 

+18 bis +43 ¡C

 

 

 

If installation next to a source of heat is unavoidable, the following minimum clearances must be maintained at the sides of the appliance:

Ðfor electric cookers 3 cm;

Ðfor oil and coal fired ranges 30 cm.

If these clearances cannot be maintained a heat insulating pad is required between the cooker and the refrigeration appliance.

If the refrigeration appliance is installed next to another refrigerator or freezer a clearance of 5 cm at the sides is required, in order to prevent the formation of condensation on the outside of the appliance.
