enInstruction for Use
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
Fire hazard
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,
en
■ 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.
When installing the appliance,
ensure that the mains cable is
not trapped or damaged.
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, customer
service or a similarly qualified
person only.
Only original parts supplied by
the manufacturer may be used.
The manufacturer guarantees
that only these parts satisfy the
safety requirements.
Do not use multiple sockets,
extension leads or adapters.

en
Fire hazard
Portable multiple outlets or
power supplies may overheat,
causing a fire.
Never leave portable multiple
outlets or portable power
supplies behind the appliance.
Important information when
using the appliance
■ Never use electrical
appliances inside the
appliance (e.g. heaters,
electric ice makers, etc.). Risk
of explosion!
■ 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 additional means
to accelerate the defrosting
process other than those
recommended by the
manufacturer. Risk of
explosion!
■ Do not use pointed or sharp-
edged implements to remove
frost or layers of ice. You
might damage the refrigerant
tubes.Leaking refrigerant may
cause eye injuries or ignite.
■ Do not store products which
contain flammable propellant
(e.g. spray cans) or explosive
substances in the appliance.
Risk of explosion!
■ Do not stand on or lean
heavily against the base of the
appliance, drawers, doors,
etc.
■ For defrosting and cleaning,
pull out the mains plug or
switch off the fuse. Do not pull
out the mains plug by tugging
on the power cord.
■ Store high-percentage alcohol
tightly sealed and in an
upright position.
■ Keep plastic parts and the
door seal free of oil and
grease. Otherwise, plastic
parts and the door seal will
become porous.
■ Never cover or block the
ventilation openings of the
appliance.
■ Do not store bottled or
canned liquids (especially
carbonated drinks) in the
freezer compartment.Bottles
and cans may burst!
■ Never put frozen food straight
from the freezer compartment
in your mouth.
Risk of low-temperature burns!
■ Avoid prolonged touching of
frozen food, ice or the
evaporator pipes, etc.
Risk of low-temperature burns!

en
■ Avoiding placing children
and vulnerable people at
risk:
At risk here are children,
people who have limited
physical, mental or sensory
abilities, as well as people
who have inadequate
knowledge concerning safe

Installation location
A dry, well ventilated room is suitable as
an installation location. The installation
location should not be exposed to direct
sunlight and not placed near a heat
source, e.g. a cooker, radiator, etc. If
installation next to a heat source is
unavoidable, use a suitable insulating
plate or observe the following minimum
distances from the heat source:
■ 3 cm to electric or gas cookers.
■ 30 cm to an oil or coal-fired cooker.
The floor of the installation location must
not give way; if required, reinforce floor. If
the floor is uneven, compensate with
supports.
Distance from wall
Fig. #
A gap is not required between the
appliance and side wall. The containers
and shelves are still fully extendable.
Reversing the door
(if required)
If required, we recommend that you have
the door hinges changed over by our
customer service. You can find out the
costs for changing over the door hinges
from your appropriate customer service.
m Warning
While changing over the door hinges,
ensure that the appliance is not
connected to the power supply. Pull out
the mains plug beforehand. To prevent
damaging the back of the appliance,
place adequate padding underneath.
Carefully place the appliance on its
back.
en
Note
If the appliance is placed on its back,
ensure that the wall spacer is not fitted.
Ambient temperature
and ventilation
Ambient temperature
The appliance is designed for a specific
climate class. Depending on the climate
class, the appliance can be operated at
the following temperatures.
The climate class can be found on
the rating plate. Fig. 4
Climate class Permitted ambient
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
indicated climatic class. If an appliance
of climatic class SN is operated at colder
room temperatures, the appliance
will not be damaged up to a temperature
of +5 °C.
Ventilation
Fig. $
The air on the rear panel of the
appliance heats up. Conduction of
the heated air must not be obstructed.
Otherwise, the refrigerating unit must
work harder. This increases power
consumption. Therefore: Never cover
or block the ventilation openings!

en
Connecting
the appliance
After installing the appliance, wait at least
1 hour until the appliance is switched on.
During transportation the oil in
the compressor may have flowed into
the refrigeration system.
Before switching on the appliance for
the first time, clean the interior of
the appliance (see chapter “Cleaning
the appliance”).
Electrical connection
The socket must be near the appliance
and also freely accessible following
installation of the appliance.
m Warning
Risk of electric shock!
If the length of the mains cable is
inadequate, never use multiple sockets
or extension leads. Instead, please
contact Customer Service for
alternatives.
The appliance complies with protection
class I. Connect the appliance to 220–
240 V/50 Hz alternating current via a
correctly installed socket with protective
conductor. The socket must be protected
by a 10 A to 16 A fuse.
For appliances operated in nonEuropean countries, check whether the
indicated voltage and current type match
the values of your electricity supply. This
information can be found on the rating
plate, Fig. 4.
m Warning
Never connect the appliance
to electronic energy saver plugs.
Our appliances can be used with mains
and sine-controlled inverters. Mainscontrolled inverters are used
for photovoltaic systems which
are connected directly to the national
grid. Sine-controlled inverters must be
used for isolated applications (e.g. on
ships or in mountain lodges) which are
not connected directly to the national
grid.
