•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.
•Please check that the mains cable has not been trapped by the back of the appliance and damaged. A damaged mains cable can overheat and catch fire.
•Never plug the mains plug into a loose or damaged mains socket. Risk of electric shock and fire!
•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 2 hours after installation before it is turned on, in order to allow the refrigerant to settle.
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.
5
Important Safety Instructions
•If the refrigerant circuit should become damaged:
–avoid open flames and sources of ignition;
–thoroughly ventilate the room in which the appliance is situated.
Child Safety
•Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or play with the product.
•Keep packaging material away from children! (There is a risk of suffocation!)
During Use
•This appliance is designed for domestic use only, specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs only. It is not intended for commercial or industrial use
•Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures. Do not store any containers with flammable materials such as, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the freezer.
•Frozen food should not be refrozen once it has thawed out.
•Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freezer.
•Ice lollies can cause ’frost/freezer burns’ if consumed straight from the freezer compartment.
•Do not remove items from the freezer compartment if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.
•Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst when the contents freeze.
•Manufacturers´ recommended storage times should be adhered to. Refer to relevant instructions.

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 interior.
>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.
7
Appliance Transport
Two persons are required to transport the appliance. There are two recessed handles at the back of the appliance at the top for improved gripping.
01. Grip the appliance with the recessed handles positioned as in the drawing, and transport the appliance.
2.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
01. Remove all adhesive tape and packaging from the interior of the appliance.
3 Any remnants of adhesive can be removed with white spirit.
2. Remove the transport protection pieces and pull off the adhesive tape.
8
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 corresponds to the climate classification, for which the appliance is
designed.
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 |
|
|
If installation next to a source of heat is unavoidable, the following minimum clearances must be maintained at the sides of the appliance:
–for electric cookers 3 cm;
–for 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.
9
Installation
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 reversing the door, the door seal seals tightly. A badly fitting door seal may lead to heavy frosting and a higher power consumption (see also "What to do if ...“).
0 1. Remove the two wall spacers from the appliance accessories pack and insert them into the heat exchanger bars (condenser) located at the top of the rear of the appliance as per the illustration, so that the distance between the back of the appliance and the wall that is required for correct ventilation is ensured.
Appliance Alignment
01. The appliance must be level. Please compensate for unevenness in the floor by turning the two adjustable feet at the front.
10
Installation
Electrical Connection
Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.
1 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 approved (BS 1362) fuse must be used.
Important
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following 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 Blue terminals in your plug, proceed
as follows:
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.
Green
& Yellow
Brown
Cord Clamp
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.
1Warning! 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.
