Safety

The safety aspects of our appliance 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 appliance 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 appliance are not permitted for reasons of
safety.

• If you use the appliance in a commercial application or forpurposes 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 appliance 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 boltcatches, if fit­ted. By doing this you ensure that children cannot lock themselves in the
appliance 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!

5

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/freezer.

• 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.

• Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigerator/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.

• Applianeces 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 chlorofluo-

rocarbon.
The carton parts are made from recycled paper and should be disposed of

at a waste-paper recycling collection location.

6

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.

• The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that
this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall
be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling
of electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is
disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative con­sequences for the environment and human health, which could
otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this pro­duct. For more detailed information about recycling of this product,
please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal
service or the shop where you purchased the product.

Remove transport safeguard

The appliance and the interior fittings are protected for transport.

• 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.

7

Climate classification for an ambient temperature of

SN +10 bis +32 °C

N +16 bis +32 °C

ST +18 bis +38 °C

T +18 bis +43 °C

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.

Your appliance needs air

For safety reasons, minimum ventila­tion must be as shown Fig.

Attention: keep ventilation ope­nings clear of obstruction;

Rear spacers

In the bag with the documentation,
there are two spacers which must be
fitted.

hairdryer.

11

Electrical connection

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 230 ... 240 V 50 Hz or

230 ... 240 V~ 50 Hz
(i.e. 230 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.

Prior to Initial Start–Up

• Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial start-

up (see section: “Cleaning and Care”).

Interior Accessories

Storage Shelves

The glass shelf above the fruit and
vegetable compartment should
always remain in position, to ensure
fruit and vegetables stay fresh lon­ger.

The remaining storage shelves can be
adjusted to various heights:

Pull the storage shelf forward until it
can be tipped up or down and remo­ved. To insert at a different height
use the same procedure in reverse.

Variable Inner Door

The door compartments can be pulled up and removed, and inserted at
other positions as needed.

D338

Variable Storage Box

Some models are equipped with a variable storage box which is fitted under
a door shelf compartment and can be slid sideways.

The box can be inserted under any
door shelf compartment.

1. To change the position of the stora­ge box; lift the shelf compartment
with the box upwards and out of the
holders in the door and remove the
retaining bracket out of the guide
under the shelf compartment.

2. Reverse the above operation to insert
the shelf at a different height.

Drawer

The drawer is suitable for storing
fruit and vegetables. There is a
separator inside the drawer that
can be placed in different posi­tions to allow for the subdivision
best suited to personal needs.
There is a grille on the bottom of
the drawer to separate the fruit
and vegetables from any humi­dity that may form on the bot­tom surface.
To remove the drawer, use the side handles (as shown in the Fig.).
All parts inside the drawer can be removed for cleaning purposes.

Air recycling

The refrigerator compartment is
equipped with a special
D.A.C.(Dynamic Air Cooling) fan
which can be turned on with the
switch B. The green light, when
on, means that the fan is working.
As a suggestion the fan (D.A.C.)
should be used with ambient
temperature exceeding 25°C .
This device allows for rapid cool­ing of foods and a more uniform
temperature in the compartment.

Moisture regulator

There is an adjustable air grille in front of the shelf above the fruit and vege­table compartments. The opening in the ventilation slots can be adjusted
with the slider. Right slider: Ventilation slots opened.

With the ventilation slots open, more
air circulation results in a lower air
moisture content in the fruit and
vegetable compartments. Left slider:
Ventilation slots closed. When the
ventilation slots are closed, the natu­ral moisture content of the food in
the fruit and vegetable compart­ments is preserved for longer.

Bottle holder

Place the bottles (with the opening
facing front) in

the pre- positioned shelf.
If the shelf is positioned horizontally,

place only
closed bottles.
This bottle holder shelf can be tilted

in order to store
previously opened bottles.
To obtain this result, pull the shelf up

so it can rotate
upwards and be placed on the next

higher level.

Fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance:

• do not store warm food or evaporating liquide in the refrigeator

• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.

• Position food so that air can circuiate freely round it.
Useful hints:
Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above

the vegetable drawer(s)For safety, store in this way only one or two days

at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc: these should be covered and may be placed

on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the

special drawer(s) provided.
Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or

wapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as pos­sible.

Milk bootles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle
rack on the door.

Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in
the refrigerator.
