1 Important Safety Instructions
The safety of our appliances is in accordance with recognised technological standards and appliance safety legislation. We nevertheless feel that it is important to acquaint you with the following safety guidelines:
Use for Intended Purpose
•The appliance is intended for use at home. Depending on the preset operation mode, this appliance becomes suitable for freezing, for frozen storage of foods or for ice preparation. The manufacturer assumes no liability for damages occurring through improper operation or use of the appliance for unintended purposes.
•Alterations or changes to the appliance are not permitted for reasons of safety.
•If you should use this appliance in a commercial application or for purposes other than freezing or frozen storage of foods, please observe all valid legal regulations for your application.
Prior to initial start-up
•Check the appliance for transport damage. Do not under any circumstances connect a damaged appliance! Please contact your supplier in the event of damage.
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.
•Warning - 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.
Safety for Children
•Packaging materials (e.g. films, styrofoam) can be dangerous for children. Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging materials away from children!
•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.

Important Safety Instructions
•Children often do not recognise the dangers involved with household appliances. Please provide for the necessary supervision and do not allow children to play with the appliance!
Daily Operation
•Containers with flammable gases or fluids can develop leaks through contact with the cold. Danger of explosion! Do not store containers with flammable substances, such as aerosol cans, refill cartridges for cigarette lighters etc. in the appliance.
•Bottles and cans may not be placed in the freezer. They can burst when the contents freeze - or even explode if the contents contain carbonic acid! Never place sodas, juices, beer, wine, champagne etc. into the freezer. Exception: Spirits with high alcohol content may be stored in the freezer.
•Do not place ice cream or ice cubes directly from the freezer into the mouth. Very cold ice can freeze to the lips or tongue and cause injury.
•Never touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the goods.
•Warning - Do not operate any electrical appliances in the appliance (e.g. electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.).
•Warning - Do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings as this will impair the operation of the appliance.
•Warning - The appliance defrosts automatically. Do not use mechanical or artificial devices to accelerate the defrosting process.
•Before cleaning the appliance switch off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.
•Placing frozen goods on the top of the appliance can lead to the accumulation of condensation on the top panel through contact with the cold. Electronic components are housed within this top panel. If water should drip onto these components, the appliance could be damaged by a short circuit. For this reason do not place frozen goods on top of the appliance.
•When unplugging always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.
In case of malfunction
•If a malfunction should occur at the appliance, refer first to the section "What to do if ..." in these operating instruction. If the instructions in this section are not sufficient, do not undertake any further work on your own.
•Freezers may only be repaired by trained personnel. Repairs carried out by untrained personnel can lead to substantial danger. Please contact your dealer or our customer service department for repairs.

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:
|

Installation
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.
The 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, for example, 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 fits tightly. A badly fitting door seal may lead to heavy frosting
and a higher power consumption (see also “Something not working“). Remove the two wall spacers from 
the appliance accessories pack and,
in accordance with the illustrations, fix them at the top of the rear of the
appliance so that the distance from the wall required for the necessary
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.
Electrical Connection
A properly installed socket outlet with earthing contact is required for electrical connection. Electrical fuse protection must be of at least 10 ampere.
If the outlet socket is no longer accessible after installation of the appliance, appropriate measures must be taken during electrical instal-
10 |
818 35 88-01/4 |
lation to assure that the appliance can be disconnected from the mains (e.g. fuse, circuit breaker, non-operate current safety-switch or the like, with a contact opening of at least 3 mm).
01. Before initial start-up, refer to the appliance rating plate to ascertain if supply voltage and current values correspond with those of the mains
at the installation location.
e.g.: AC 220 ... 240 V 50 Hz or 220 ... 240 V~50 Hz
(i.e. 220 to 240 volts alternating current, 50 Hertz) The rating plate is inside the appliance at the left.
Warning: To avoid potential danger, if the mains connection lead of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by our customer service representative or a person with similar qualifications.
