Important Safety Instructions
These warnings are provided in the interests of your safety. Ensure you fully
understand them before installing or using the appliance. Your safety is of
paramount importance. If you are unsure about the meaning of these
warnings contact the Customer Care Department for assistance.
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 refrigerator are not permitted for reasons of
safety.
If you use the refrigerator in a commercial application or for purposes other
than the cooling, freezing or frozen storage of foods, the manufacturer
accepts no liability for any damages which may occur.
Prior to initial start–up
Check the appliance for transport damage. Under no circumstance should
a damaged appliance be plugged in. In the event of damage, please
contact your supplier.
Ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable.
Important: if the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by
authorised service or qualified personnel using a special cable of the same
type.
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 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 mains
plug, cut off the mains cable, break or remove spring or bolt catches, if
fitted. By doing this you ensure that children cannot lock themselves in
the appliance when playing (there is risk of suffocation!) or get themselves
into other dangerous situations.
32
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 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.
Do not place ice cream 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.
Warning- Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigerator
and/or freezer (e.g. electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.).
Warning- In order not to impair the function of the appliance, never cover
or obstruct the ventilation openings.
Warning- Do not damage the cooling circuit.
Warning- Do not use any mechanical devices or other artificialmeans to
speed up defrosting unless they are recommended by the manufacturer.
Before cleaning the appliance, always switch off the appliance and unplug
it, or disconnect from the electricity supply.
When unplugging always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull
on the cable.
In case of malfunction
If 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.
This product should be serviced by an authorised engineer and only
genuine spare parts should be used.
Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance
yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or
serious malfunctioning. Contact your local Service Force centre.

Disposal
Appliance Packaging Information
All materials are environmentally sound! They can be disposed of 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 chloro-
fluorocarbon. The carton parts are made from recycled paper and should be
disposed of at a wastepaper 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 ensures that children do not lock themselves inside the
appliance (danger of suffocation!) or place themselves into other lifeendangering 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, must not be damaged.
The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this
product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall be handed
over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and
electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly,
you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the
environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by
inappropriate waste handling of this product. For more detailed
information about recycling of this product, please contact your local city
office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you
purchased the product.
Remove Transport Packaging
The appliance and the interior fittings are protected for transport.
1. Pull off the adhesive tape on the left and right side of the door.
2. Remove all adhesive tape and packing pieces from the interior of the
appliance.
34
Installation
Installation Location
The appliance should be set up 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 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:
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 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.
35
Your Refrigerator Needs Air
For correct operation this
appliance must be located in a
dry atmosphere, away from
heatsources, e.g. cookers,
radiators, boilers and direct
sunlight.
You should also ensure that air
can circulate freely around the
back and the top of the cabinet.
There should be 100mm (4”)
between the top of the cabinet
and any overhanging kitchen
furniture.
Alternatively allow 50mm (2”) between the top of the cabinet and any
overhanging kitchen furniture and a gap of 25mm (1”) on either side of the
appliance.
If your refrigerator is installed
under a continuous worktop, an
air outlet opening of at least
200 cm
2
and a ventilation grille
(A/B) matching the worktop
design should be installed at the
rear of the worktop. The cut
surfaces of the worktop (C)
should be varnished to avoid
swelling due to penetration of
moisture. The appliance wall
distance must beat least 30 mm
and should be checked before
the ventilation grille is inserted.
Detaching the Worktop
After the worktop has been
removed the appliance can be
installed underneath a
continuous worktop. The
procedure is as follows:
1.Unscrew the screws (1) on the
right and the left.
2. Lift the worktop slightly, push it
about 20 mm towards the rear,
and lift it off upwards (2).
Unscrew the holding bracket (3)
and keep it in a safe place (4).
