1 Safety
The safety of our freezers 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 freezer is intended for household use. It is suited for the refrigeration, freezing and frozen storage of foods as well as the preparation
of ice. It is suited for the freezing and frozen storage of foods as well
as the preparation of ice.
• Alterations or changes to the freezer are not permitted for reasons of
safety.
• If you use the refrigerator/freezer in a commercial application or for
purposes other than the refrigeration, freezing or frozen storage of
foods, please observe all valid legal regulations for your application.
Prior to initial start-up
• Check the refrigerator/freezer 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.
818 18 88-00/2 5
Safety
• 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 refrigerator/freezer.
• 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.
• Never touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the
goods.
• 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 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 condensate in the cavity of the storage tray through
contact with the cold. Electronic components are housed within this
cavity. If condensate 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 instruc-
6 818 18 88-00/2
tions in this section are not sufficient, do not undertake any further
work on your own.
• Refrigerators/feezers 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.
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
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 that playing children
lock 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, may not be damaged.
• Information concerning collection schedules or locations can be
obtained from the local disposal authorities or town hall.
818 18 88-00/2 7
Appliance Transport
Two persons are required for transport of the appliance. There are two
recessed handles at the front of the base and at the back of the
appliance at the top for improved gripping.
0 1. Grip the appliance with the recessed handles positioned as in the draw-
ing, 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
0 1. Remove all adhesive tape and packaging from the interior of the appli-
ance.
Any remnants of adhesive can be removed with white spirit.
3
8 818 18 88-00/2
Before Use
2. Remove the transport protection pieces and pull off the adhesive tape.
3. Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water with a little
bicarbonate of soda added (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap
or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry the appliance thoroughly.
Remove the transport fittings from
the storage shelves:
4. Slide the fittings securing the shelf
forward to the thicker section on
the edge of the storage shelf.
5. Slide the storage shelf far enough
forward so that it can be hinged
downwards and the fittings can be
removed from the guides.
818 18 88-00/2 9
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.
10 818 18 88-00/2
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
"Something not working“).
Appliance Alignment
Installation
0 1. 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 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 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.
818 18 88-00/2 11
Reversing The Door
The door hinges can be changed from right (as supplied) to left if
required to suit the location where the appliance is installed.
Warning! Unplug from the mains, before reversing the door.
