1 Safety
The safety aspects of our refrigerators 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 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,
please observe all valid legal regulations for your application.
Prior to initial start–up
• 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.
• 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!
33
Safety
• 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 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.
• 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.
• Warning - Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigera-
tor (e.g. electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.) unless they have been
authorised by the manufacturer.
• Warning - In order not to impair the function of the appliance, never
cover or obstruct the ventilation openings.
• 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, 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.
34
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 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.
1
Remove plug from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any
snap or latch closures. This eliminates the danger of playing children
locking 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, should not be damaged.
• Information concerning collection schedules or locations can be
obtained from the local disposal authorities or town hall.
35
Remove transport safeguard
The appliance and the interior fittings are protected for transport.
0 1. Remove all adhesive tape and packing pieces from the interior of the
appliance.
You can remove any remnants of adhesive using white spirit.
3
2. If present, remove protective film from the control panel.
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, boilers or other sources of heat;
– only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature corre-
sponds 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:
36
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
Your refrigerator needs ventilation
Integratable models (i-appliances)
The integrated door of the furniture
cabinet largely seals the installation
recess. i-appliances must therefore
be provided with ventilation by
having an opening in the furniture
plinth. The warmed air must be able
to be exhausted upwards through
the air shaft on the furniture back.
The ventilation cross-sections
should be at least 200 cm
Warning - In order not to impair
the function of the appliance, never cover or obstruct the ventilation
openings.

Installation
See installation instructions supplied.
Please check whether, after installing your appliance and especially
after rehingeing the door, the door seal seals right round. An untight
door seal may lead to heavy frosting and thereby to a higher power
consumption (see also „What to do if...“).
Installation
Electrical connection
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 on the left.
A correctly installed, earthed socket is required for the electrical supply.
The supply must have a fuse rating of at least 10 Amps.
If the socket is not accessible once the appliance is built in, the electrical installation must include suitable means of isolating the appliance
from the mains (e.g. fuse, cut-out, current trip or similar with a minimum contact separation of 3 mm).
Attention: The mains connection cable may only be replaced by a
skilled electrician. Please contact your dealer or our customer service
department for repairs.
