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!

21

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.

22

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.

• Remove all adhesive tape and packing pieces from the interior of the
appliance.

Your appliance is equipped with shelf
retainers that make it possible to
secure the shelves during transporta­tion.

To remove them proceed as follows:
Move the shelf retainers in the direc-

tion of the arrow, raise the shelf from
the rear and push it forward until it
is freed and remove the retainers.

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
