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
This appliance contains a small quantity
of environmentally-friendly but flammable
R600a refrigerant. Ensure that the tubing
of the refrigerant circuit is not damaged
during transportation and installation.
Leaking refrigerant may cause eye
injuries 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, 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.
A extension cable may be purchased
from customer service only.
Important information when
using the appliance
■ Never use electrical appliances inside
the appliance (e.g. heater, electric ice
maker, etc.). Risk of explosion!
■ Never use a steam cleaner to defrost
or clean the appliance! 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 tubing. Leaking
refrigerant may ignite or cause eye
injuries.
■ Do not store products which contain
flammable propellants (e.g. spray
cans) or explosive substances
in the appliance. Risk of explosion!
■ Do not stand or support
yourself on the base, drawers
or doors, etc.

■ Before defrosting and cleaning
the appliance, pull out the mains plug
or switch off the fuse.
Do not pull out the mains plug
by tugging the cable.
■ Bottles which contain a high
percentage of alcohol must be sealed
and stored in an upright position.
■ 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 for the appliance.
■ People (childern incl.) who have
limited physical, sensory or mental
abilities or inadequate knowledge
must not use this appliance unless
they are supervised or given
meticulous instructions.
■ Do not store bottled or canned drinks
(especially carbonated drinks)
in the freezer compartment. Bottles
and cans may explode!
■ 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!

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. 0
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.
This appliance is identified
according to the European
guideline 2002/96/EC on waste
electrical and electronic
equipment – WEEE. The directive
specifies the framework for an
EU-wide valid return and re-use
of old appliances.
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

Ventilation
Fig. 3
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!
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.
The appliance complies with the
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 fused with a 10 to 16 A fuse.
For appliances operated in non-
European countries, check whether the
stated voltage and current type match
the values of your mains supply match
the values of the mains supply. This
information can be found on the rating
plate. Fig. 0
ã=Warning
Never connect the appliance
to electronic energy saver plugs.
Our appliances can be used with mains
and sine-controlled inverters. Mains-
controlled 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.
Getting to know your
appliance
Please fold out the illustrated last page.
These operating instructions refer
to several models.

Switching
the appliance on
Fig. 2
Switch on the appliance with the On/Off
button 1.
The temperature display 2 flashes until
the appliance has reached the set
temperature.
The appliance begins to cool. Light is
switched on when the door is open.
We recommend a setting of +4 °C.
Operating tips
■ After the appliance has been switched
on, it may take several hours until
the set temperatures have been
reached.
Do not put any food in the appliance
beforehand.
■ While the refrigeration unit is running,
water droplets or a thin layer of ice
may form at the rear panel of
the refrigerator. This is nothing
unusual. It is not necessary to scrape
off the frost or wipe off the water
droplets. The rear panel defrosts
automatically. The condensation
collects in the drainage channel,
Fig. ., and is conveyed
to the refrigeration unit where it
evaporates.
■ Thesides ofthehousing are
sometimes heated slightly. This
prevents condensation in the area
of the door seal.
■ If the freezer compartment door
cannot be immediately re-opened after
it has been closed, wait until
the resulting low pressure has
equalised.
■ The refrigeration system may cause
several areas of the freezer shelves
to frost quickly. This does not affect
function or power consumption.
The appliance does not require
defrosting until the entire surface
of the freezer shelf is covered with
more than 5 mm of frost or ice.
