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, for ice preparation or for cooling of foods. 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 or for cooling 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

Important Safety Instructions

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!

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.

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 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.

Refrigerators or 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

Appliance Packaging Information

Dispose of the packaging material of your appliance correctly. All the packaging materials used are harmless to the environment and can be recycled.

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.

1 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 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 condenser at the back of the appliance, must not be damaged.

Information concerning collection schedules or locations can be obtained from the local disposal authorities or town hall.

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.

01. Grip the appliance with the recessed handles positioned as in the drawing, 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 then transferred to the back wheels and the appliance can be easily pushed.

Before Use

Packaging

01. Remove all adhesive tape and packaging from the interior of the appliance.

3 Any remnants of adhesive can be removed with white spirit.

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.

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.
