Safety and warning information

Before you switch ON the appliance

Please read the operating and installation instructions carefully! They contain important information on how to install, use and maintain the appliance.

The manufacturer is not liable if you fail to comply with the instructions and warnings. Retain all documents for subsequent use or for the next owner.

Technical safety

The tubes of the refrigeration circuit convey a small quantity of an environmentally friendly but flammable refrigerant (R600a). It does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect. If refrigerant escapes, it may injure your eyes or ignite.

If damage has occurred

■ Keep naked flames and/or ignition sources away

from the appliance,

■ thoroughly ventilate the room for several minutes,

■ switch off the appliance and pull out the mains plug,

■ inform customer service.

The more refrigerant an appliance contains, the larger the room must be in which the appliance is situated. Leaking refrigerant can form a flammable gas-air mixture in rooms which are too small. The room must be at least 1 m³ per 8 g of refrigerant. The amount of refrigerant in your appliance is indicated on the rating plate inside the appliance.

If the power cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, customer service or a similarly qualified person. Improper installations and repairs may put the user at considerable risk.

Repairs may be performed by the manufacturer or the customer service.

Only original parts supplied by the manufacturer may be used. The manufacturer guarantees that only these parts satisfy the safety requirements.

WARNING: When positioning the appliance, ensure the supply cord is not trapped or damaged.

WARNING: Do not locate multiple portable socketoutlets or portable power supplies at the rear of the appliance.

■ Do not stand on or lean heavily against base of

appliance, drawers or doors, etc.

■ For defrosting and cleaning, pull the mains plug out

or switch off the fuse. Do not pull out the mains plug by tugging on the power cord.

■ Store high-percentage alcohol tightly closed and

standing up.

■ Keep plastic parts and the door seal free of oil and

grease. Otherwise, parts and door seal will become porous.

■ Never cover or block the ventilation openings of the

appliance!

■ Avoiding placing children and vulnerable people at

risk:

At risk are children, people who have limited physical, mental or sensory abilities, as well as people who have inadequate knowledge concerning safe operation of the appliance.

Ensure that children and vulnerable people have understood the hazards.

A person responsible for safety must supervise or instruct children and vulnerable people who are using the appliance.

Only children from 8 years and above may use the appliance.

Supervise children who are cleaning and maintaining the appliance.

Never allow children to play with the appliance.

■ Do not store bottled or canned drinks (especially

carbonated drinks) in the freezer compartment. Bottles and cans may burst.

■ Never put frozen food straight from the freezer

compartment into your mouth. Risk of low-temperature burns!

■ Avoid prolonged touching of frozen food, ice or the

evaporator pipes, etc. Risk of low-temperature burns!

Children in the household

■ Keep children away from packaging and its parts.

Danger of suffocation from folding cartons and plastic film!

■ Do not allow children to play with the appliance!

■ If the appliance features a lock:

keep the key out of the reach of children!.

Important information when using the appliance

■ Never use electrical appliances inside the appliance

(e.g. heaters, electric ice-makers). Explosion hazard!

■ Never defrost or clean the appliance with a steam

cleaner! The steam may penetrate electrical parts and cause a short-circuit. Risk of electric shock!

■ Do not use pointed or sharp-edged implements to

remove frost or layers of ice. You could damage the refrigerant tubes. Leaking refrigerant may cause eye injuries or ignite.

■ Do not store products which contain flammable

propellants (e.g. spray cans) or explosive substances in the appliance. Explosion hazard!

Installing the appliance

Transport

The appliance is heavy and must be securely fixed when being transported and installed.

Because of the weight and size of the appliance, and in order to minimise the risk of personal injury or damage to the appliance, at least two persons are required for moving and positioning the appliance safely.

The castors are provided for installation purposes only. Do not use the castors for transporting the appliance.

Do not move the appliance over uneven or soft ground on its castors.

Installation site

The ideal installation site is a dry, well ventilated room. The appliance should not be installed in a position that is exposed to direct sunlight or close to a source of heat, such as a cooker or radiator. If installation near to a source of heat is unavoidable, use a suitable insulating panel or keep to the following minimum distances from the source of heat:

■ 3 cm from an electric or gas cooker.

■ 30 cm from oil or solid fuel cookers.

Refrigerators contain refrigerant as well as gases in the insulation material. Refrigerant and gases must be disposed of properly. Do not damage the refrigerant circuit pipes before disposing of them properly.

Floor surface

The floor at the installation site must not give. Reinforce the floor if necessary.

The appliance is very heavy. The weight when empty is detailed in the table below.

Model Weight

KDN65 87 kg KDN75 98 kg

Wall clearance

If the appliance is positioned in the corner of a room or a recess, minimum clearances at the sides must be maintained so that the heated air is able to escape unimpeded and the appliance doors can be fully opened.

Observe the room temperature and ventilation requirements

Room temperature

The appliance is designed for a certain climate class. Depending on the climate class, the appliance can be operated at the following ambient temperatures.

The climate class is specified on the rating plate.

Climate class Permissible room temperature SN +10 °C to 32 °C N +16 °C to 32 °C ST +16 °C to 38 °C T +16 °C to 43 °C

Note

The appliance is fully functional within the room temperature limits of the specified climate class. If an appliance in the SN climate class is operated at lower ambient temperatures, damage to the appliance can be excluded up to a temperature of +5 °C.

Ventilation

The heated air must be able to escape unimpeded. Otherwise, the refrigerating unit has to work harder, which increases the appliance's power consumption. Therefore, never cover over or block the air vent.
