Safety
The safety aspects of our refrigerators/freezers 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 freezer is intended for use in the home. It is suitable for the freezing and storing 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 freezer are not permitted for reasons of safety.
• If you use the freezer in a commercial application or for purposes other than the freezing or frozen storage of foods, please observe all valid legal regulations for your application.
Prior to initial start–up
• Check the freezer 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.
• 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
26
themselves in the freezer 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 contai ners with flammable materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.
• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. 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. Exception: high alcohol content spirits can be stored in the freezer.
• Do not put ice creams or ice cubes in the mouth immediately after removal from the freezer. Very cold ice can freeze to the lips or ton gue and cause injury.
• Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze to the food.
• Do not operate any electrical appliances in the freezer (e.g. electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.).
• 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.
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/freezers 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. 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.
Remove transport safeguard
The appliance and the interior fittings are protected for transport. Pull off the adhesive tape on the left and right side of the door.
You can remove any remnants of adhesive using white spirit.
Remove all adhesive tape and packing pieces from the interior of the appliance.
Installation
Installation Location
The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room. Energy use 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: each climate classification:
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 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.
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 freezer needs air
Your freezer is designed for maintenance-free operation. What it should never lack is good ventilation. Air is supplied under the ventila­tion slot between the freezer and storage surface. Air is extracted through the upper ventilation grille. Never obstruct these openings.
Electrical Connection
Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures
not be observed.
Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as that indicated on the appliance rating plate. The rating plate is inside, on the left.
The appliance is supplied with a 13 amp plug fitted. In the event of having to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13 amp ASTA approved (BS 1362) fuse must be used.
Important
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green and YellowEarth Blue Neutral BrownLive
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings indentifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
1.The wire coloured green and yellow must be connected to the
terminal marked with the letter „E“ or by the earth symbol or coloured green and yellow.
2.The wire coloured blue must be connected to the terminal „N“ or
coloured black.
3.The wire coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked
„L“ or coloured red.
4.Upon completion there must be not cut, or stray strands of wire
present and the cord clamp must be secure over the outer sheat.
30
Warning! A cut-off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that the cut-off plug is disposed of safely.
Plug socket
The plug socket necessary for connection of your appliance to the elec­tricity supply should be positioned so that it is possible to pull out the appliance plug. A concealed protective contact plug socket requires 10 A/16 A fusing.
Rehingeing the door

Important note: if you operate the fast-freeze switch or adjust the temperature regulator, it may happen that your appliance’s refrigerati­on motor does not start immediately but only after some time. This does not mean that your appliance has a fault.
Audible temperature alarm
If your freezer is equipped with an audible temperature alarm (3), an acoustic warning sound simultaneously with illumination of the red temperature pilot lamp, alerting you to the fact that the storage tem­perature in your freezer is too high or too warm. The audible warning sounds until the red temperature pilot lamp goes out or until the audible alarm is switched off by operation of the fast-freeze switch. The fast-freeze switch can be switched off when the red lamp has gone out.
Starting up and temperature regulation
Turn the temperature regulator (1) in the direction of „1“. The green lamp (6) and the red lamp (5) come on, the audible warning
sounds (if fitted), and the refrigeration motor starts up. Additionally operate the fast-freeze switch (2).
The amber pilot lamp (4) comes on, the audible warning switches itself off, and the refrigerator motor runs continuously.
Only when the red lamp (5) has gone out should you reset the fast-fre­eze switch (2) the amber light (4) goes out and the audible warning is activated again.
The temperature regulator (1) can be used to set the required storage temperature, -18°C or colder.
Setting „1“ means:
highest, warmest internal temperature
Setting „4“ means:
lowest, coldest internal temperature
Recommended regulator setting:
1.5 to 2.
Important: Regularly check on the red temperature pilot lamp (5) and the thermometer that the required storage temperature is being maintained.
35
Ice pack
There is an ice pack in one drawer of the freezer. Refer to the section “Prior to Initial Start–Up” concerning freezing of the ice pack.
In the event of a power failure or malfunction, the ice pack will lengt­hen the amount of time it takes for the frozen food to become too warm by several hours. The ice pack can only fulfil this task optimally if it is placed in the uppermost drawer, at the front, above the frozen food. You can use the ice pack for cooling cold bags.
Freezing and storing frozen food
You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself.
Important!
• The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18 °C or col
der before freezing food.
• Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The
freezing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be
frozen within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food several
days in a row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4
of that on the rating plate. The quality of the food is best preserved
when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.
• Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will
cause increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
• Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufactu
rer.
• Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into
meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
• Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low tempera
tures. There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with
flammable materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguis
her refill cartridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.
• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. 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. Exception: high alcohol content spirits can be stored in
the freezer. Press the fast freeze button for freezing of fresh food. The amber light
illuminates.
36
To utilise the maximum rated freezing capacity, switch on the fast free­ze switch 24 hours before freezing is due to start (the amber light illu­minates). For smaller amounts the fast freeze switch should be swit­ched on 4 - 6 hours in advance.
All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods occurs.
Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze to the food.
Place the packed food in the drawers. Place food to be frozen in the appliance´s two top drawers (1) and (2) equipped with its own refrige­rating unit. Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, other­wise the frozen food could begin to defrost. Freezer drawers (3) and (4) should only be used for storage of frozen food. The lowest drawer has a solid floor and can be used for catching some of the melt-water when the freezer is beeing defrosted. In order to enlarge the appliance´s volume the two centre drawers (2) and (3) can be removed.
Place frozen foods in the drawers sorted by type, as far as possible. Riders are supplied for placing on drawers. To mark the contents of the individual drawers, press the rider over the corresponding symbol (see "Frozen Food Symbols/Freezer Calendar" section). This will give you a better overview of the contents, avoid extended door opening and the­refore save electricity.
Once the required storage temperate has been reached, press the fast freeze button again. The yellow light goes out.
Tips:
• The following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods: – freezer bags and polyethylene wraps; – special cans for frozen goods; – extra–thick aluminium foil.
• The following are suitable for sealing bags and wrap: plastic clips, rubber bands or tape.
• Smooth the air out of the bag before sealing; air makes it easier for the frozen food to dry out.
• Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly.
• Do not fill cans for frozen goods to the brim with liquid or paste–like goods, because liquids expand during freezing.
Note for inspection authorities:
Batch plans for the determination of freezing performance or warm-up time can be requested directly from the manufacturer.
37
Storage Goods Symbols/Freezing Calendar
• The symbols on the drawers show different types of frozen goods.
• The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indi cated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating before freezing. The lower value applies to foods with high fat content.
• By attaching the included index-tabs to the drawers, they can be marked according to which type of foods the individual compartments contain.
Preparation of Ice Cubes
Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer compartment and leave to freeze.
To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend the ice cube tray or hold it under running water for a few seconds.
Important! Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer compartment using pointed or sharp edged objects. Use the ice scraper supplied.
Defrosting and cleaning
During use and when the door is opened, moisture is deposited as frost inside the appliance, particularly on the evaporator. This frost must be removed from time to time using the soft plastic scraper supplied. Under no circumstances use hard or pointed objects for this purpose.
The freezer should always be defrosted when the layer of frost has rea­ched a thickness of approx. 4 millimetres; however at least once a year. A good time for defrosting is when the appliance is empty or contains only little food.
Each temperature rise reduces the keeping qualities of your frozen food. Around 12 hours before defrosting your freezer, switch over to fast freeze to built up a low temperature reserve in the frozen food.
Warning!
• Do not use electrical heating appliances or any other mechanical or artificial devices to speed up the defrosting process.
• Do not use defrosting sprays, they can be hazardous to your health and/or contain substances that damage plastics.
Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze to the food.
Remove frozen food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and store it, covered, in a cool place.
Switch off the appliance and unplug it, or pull the fuse or switch off the circuit breaker.
Remove all drawers except the bot­tom one. The bottom drawer serves as a practical container to collect the water from the thawing ice. Pull out the drawer and insert the plastic scraper in the special location to act as an extension channel to collect the defrost water.
Tip: To speed up the defrosting pro­cess, place a pan with hot water in the appliance and close the door. Remove pieces of ice that have fallen before they completely defrost.
After defrosting, thoroughly clean the freezer compartment and interi­or fittings.
Warning!
• The appliance may not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.
• Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accu mulate in electrical components, danger of electrical shock! Hot vapours can lead to the damage of plastic parts.
• The appliance must be dry before it is placed back into service.
Attention!
• Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g. – lemon juice or the juice from orange peals; – butyric acid; – cleansers which contain acetic acid.
Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance parts.
• Do not use any abrasive cleansers.
Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water. Commercially available dish washing detergents may also be used.
After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry.
After everything is dry, switch to fast freeze. After running the appliance for two or three hours, it is ready again for storing frozen food.
Magnetic door seal
After opening and closing the door of your freezer whilst it is in opera­tion, you will not immediately be able to open the door again because a vacuum will have developed inside, keeping the door closed until the pressures inside and outside the door have equalised. After a few minutes you can easily reopen the door.
Switching off the appliance
To switch off the appliance, turn the temperature regulator to position "0".
If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period:
Remove all deep-frozen packages as well as ice-trays.
Switch off the appliance by turning the temperature regulator to posi­tion "0".
Remove the mains plug or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.
Defrost freezer and clean thoroughly (see section: “Defrosting and Cleaning”).
Leave the door open to avoid the build up of odours.
If you should ever move house
If the freezer compartment is not fully loaded, pack the frozen food all together on as few storage levels as possible: drawers (1) and (2).
24 hours before the removal lorry is due to leave switch over to fast­freezing in order to build up a reserve of coldness in the frozen items.
Make sure the freezer door cannot come open during transport. Ensure that the freezer is the last item loaded onto the removal lorry,
so that it is the first to be taken off and can be plugged in again at once.
Energy Saving Tips
• Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources of warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent operation of the compressor.
• Ensure sufficient air circulation and exhaust at the appliance base and at the back wall of the appliance. Never cover air vent openings.
• Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool first.
• Only leave door open as long as necessary.
• Do not set temperature any colder than necessary.
• Check the storage temperature in the freezer on the thermometer.
• Put frozen food in the fridge to defrost. The cold in the frozen food will then be used to cool the fridge.
• Keep the heat emitting condenser, the metall grille on the rear wall of your appliance, always clean.
