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

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.
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 on or lean heavily
against base of appliance, 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.

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.
Room temperature switch
If the room temperature drops
below +16 °C, the freezer compartment
of appliances belonging to climate
class SN may become too warm. In
an extreme case the frozen food may
thaw. To prevent this from happening,
switch on the room temperature switch.
As a result, the refrigeration unit
operates more frequently. The appliance
can now be operated at a room
temperature of +10 °C to +16 °C.
To switch on, press the room
temperature switch, Fig. 2/B. Red mark
becomes visible. The light inside
the appliance is lit at a reduced
luminosity.
To save energy, switch off the room
temperature switch as soon as the room
temperature exceeds +16 °C.
Ventilation
Fig. 1/6
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.

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 match
the values of the mains supply. This
information can be found on the rating
plate. Fig. .
Getting to know your appliance
Please fold out the illustrated last page.
These operating instructions refer
to several models.
The features of the models may vary.
