818 36 51-02/8 51
Important Safety Instructions
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.
• 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! Inform children of the possible dangers and instruct them in the correct use of 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 compartment. 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 compartment. Exception: Spirits with
high alcohol content may be stored in the freezer compartment.
• Do not place ice cream or ice cubes directly from the freezer
compartment into the mouth. Very cold ice can freeze to the lips or
tongue and cause injury. Inform children of this danger.
• 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 - Do not use any mechanical devices or other artificial
means to speed up defrosting unless they are recommended by the
manufacturer.
• 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
52 818 36 51-02/8
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.
• Do not remove the power cord by pulling on its lead, particularly
when the appliance is being pulled out of its niche. Damage to the
cord may cause a short circuit, fire and/or electric shock.
• Do not place heavy articles or the appliance itself on the power cord.
There is a risk of a short circuit and fire.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a certified
service agent or qualified personnel.
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.

56 818 36 51-02/8
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.
If the appliance is standing next to another fridge or freezer, a gap of
5 cm is recommended between them so that no condensation forms on
the exteriors of the appliances.
On the side on which the door is hung, a minimum gap of 36 cm is
recommended between it and the wall, so that the door can be opened
wide enough to allow the interior equipement to be taken out.
818 36 51-02/8 57
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 ...“).
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
The appliance must be level.
0 1. Please level out unevennesses in the
floor by screwing the two adjustable
front feet in or out using the 13 mm
spanner supplied. To do this remove
the plinth panel (see chapter
“Transporting the appliance“)
58 818 36 51-02/8
Installation
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 installation 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).
0 1. 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.
Warning: Under no circumstances should the appliance be connected
to electronic “power saving plugs” or to a.c.-d.c. converters which convert direct current to 230 V alternating current (e.g., solar installations,
ship networks)
818 36 51-02/8 59
Carbon filter
There is a active carbon filter in the rear wall of the fridge section. The
carbon filter cleans the air in the fridge section and in the LONGFRESH
0°C cold section by binding unpleasant smells.
Tip: The active carbon filter is a part subject to wear and is not covered
by the warranty.
Inserting and changing the active carbon filter:
When the fridge is delivered, the carbon filter is packed in a plastic bag
to ensure a long life. Before using the appliance for the first time, the
carbon filter must be inserted behind the air discharge grill.
With the fridge operating normally, the
carbon filter should be changed once a year to
ensure optimum function.
New carbon filters can be obtained from
specialist dealers or from the customer care
department.
0 1. To open the grill, press the lever on the right
of the grill (1) and open the grill forwards (2).
2. To change the old carbon filter, pull it from
the runners (3).
3. Insert the new carbon filter into the runners
of the grill (3) and press the grill closed until
it snaps into place.
Take care when handling the filter to prevent
1
dislodging carbon particles.
Reversing The Door
The door hinges can be changed if required to suit the location where
the appliance is installed.
Important! Only a qualified technician should change the side on
which the door is fixed. If this is necessary, please contact our Customer
Services or your dealer.
Warning! Unplug from the mains, before reversing the door.
