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 appliance contains a small quantity of environmentally friendly but flammable refrigerant R600a. 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,
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.
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.

■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 sharpedged 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!
■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.

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. +
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. !/24
The refrigeration unit is ventilated only via the ventilation grille in the base. Never cover the ventilation grille or place anything in front of it. Otherwise
the refrigeration unit must work harder, increasing the power consumption.
Installation location
Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room. The installation location should neither be exposed to direct sunlight nor 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 to a heat source:
■3 cm to electric or gas cookers.
■30 cm to an oil or coal-fired cooker.
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.
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 nonEuropean countries, check whether the stated voltage and current type match the values of your mains supply. This information can be found on the rating plate. Fig. +
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.

A warning signal sounds, the temperature displays, Figs. "/4 and 7, flash, the alarm button, Fig. "/1, is lit.
2.Press the alarm button Fig. "/1.
The warning signal is switched off, the appliance starts to cool. The alarm button is lit and the temperature displays flash until the set temperatures have been reached.
When the door is open, the light in the refrigerator compartment is lit.
The factory has recommended the following temperatures:
■Refrigerator compartment: +4 °C
■Freezer compartment: -18 °C
Operating tips
■After the appliance has been switched on, it may take several hours until the set temperature has been reached. Do not put any food
in the appliance beforehand.
■The fully automatic NoFrost system ensures that the freezer compartment remains free of ice. Defrosting is not required.
■The sides of the housing 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.
