Safety
The safety of our freezers is in accordance with recognised technological standards
and appliance safety legislation. We nevertheless feel that it is important to acquaint
you with the following safety guidelines:
Use for Intended Purpose
The freezer is intended for household use. It is suitable for freezing and storage of
frozen food. The manufacturer assumes no liability for damages occurring through
improper operation or use of the appliance for unintended purposes.
Alterations or changes to the freezer are not permitted for reasons of safety.
If you use the freezer in a commercial application or for purposes other than the
freezing or frozen storage of foods, please observe al! valid legal regulations for
your application.
Prior to initial start-up
check the refrigerator/freezer for transport damage. Do not under any
circumstances connect a damaged appliance! Please contact your supplier in the
event of damage.
Refrigerant
The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained within the refrigerant circuit of the
appliance, a natural gas with a high level of environmental compatibility, which is
nevertheless flammable.
During transportation and installation of the appliance, be certain that none of
the components of the refrigerant circuit become damaged.
If the refrigerant circuit should become damaged:
- avoid open flames and sources of ignition;
– thoroughly ventilate the room in which the appliance is situated.
Safety for Children
Packaging materials (e.g. films, styrofoam) can be dangerous for children. Danger
of suffocation! Keep packaging materials away from children!
For appliances with lockable lids: Children playing could get locked in. Danger of
suffocation! Keep the key out of the reach of children and do not leave it near the
appliance.
Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable. Remove plug from
mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any snap or latch closures. This
eliminates the danger that playing children lock themselves into the appliance
(danger of suffocation!) or place themselves into other life-endangering
situations.
Children often do not recognise the dangers involved with household appliances.
Please provide for the necessary supervision and do not allow children to play with
the appliance!
Daily Operation
Containers with flammable gases or fluids can develop leaks through contact with
25
the cold. Danger of explosion! Do not store containers with flammable substances,
such as aerosol cans, refill cartridges for cigarette lighters etc. in the
refrigerator/freezer.
Bottles and cans may not be placed in the freezer compartment. They can burst
when the contents freeze - or even explode if the contents contain carbonic acid!
Never place sodas, juices, beer, wine, champagne etc. into the freezer
compartment. Exception: Spirits with high alcohol content may be stored in the
freezer compartment.
Do not place ice cream or ice cubes directly from the freezer compartment into
the mouth. Very cold ice can freeze to the lips or tongue and cause injury.
Never touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the goods.
Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigerator/freezer (e.g. electric ice
cream makers, mixers etc.).
Before cleaning the appliance always pull the mains plug out or switch
off/disengage the household fuse.
When unplugging always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull on the
cable.
In case of malfunction
If a malfunction should occur at the appliance, refer first to the section “What to
do if...” in these operating instruction. If the instructions in this section are not
sufficient, do not undertake any further work on your own.
Refrigerators/freezers may only be repaired by trained personnel. Repairs carried
out by untrained personnel can lead to substantial danger. Please contact your
dealer or our customer service department for repairs.
For the electrician: Before carrying out any work on the freezer always pull out the
mains plug or switch off/disengage the household fuse.
Disposal
Appliance Packaging Information
All materials are environmentally sound! They can be dumped or burned
at an incinerating plant without danger!
About the materials: The plastics can be recycled and are identified as
follows:
>PE< for polyethylene, e.g. the outer covering and the bags in the
interior.
>PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g. the pads, which are all free of
chlorofluorocarbon.
The carton parts are made from recycled paper and should be disposed
of at a waste-paper recycling collection location.
26
Disposal of old Appliances
For environmental reasons, refrigeration appliances must be disposed of
properly. This applies to your old appliance, and - at the end of its service life
- for your new appliance as well.
Warning! Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable. Remove
plug from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any snap or latch
closures. This eliminates the danger that playing children lock themselves into
the appliance (danger of suffocation!) or place themselves into other lifeendangering situations.
Disposal:
The appliance may not be disposed of with domestic waste or bulky refuse.
The refrigerating circuit may not be damaged.
Information concerning collection schedules or locations can be obtained
from the local disposal authorities or town hall.
Installation
Installation Location
The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room. The basement is an
optimal place for chest freezers.
Warning! The appliance may not be exposed to spray or splash water.
Danger of electrical shock!
Energy use is affected by the ambient temperature. The appliance should therefore
– not be exposed to direct sunlight;
– not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat;
- only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature corresponds
to the climate classification, for which the appliance is designed.
The climate classification is stipulated on the serial plate which can be
found on the inner side of the lid. The following table shows which
ambient temperature is correct for each climate classification:
Climate classification for an ambient temperature of
Climatic classification Ambient temperature
From….to
SN +10 to +32 °C
N +16 to +32 °C
ST +18 to +38 °C
T +18 to +43 °C
27
The refrigerator or freezer needs air.
The side walls become warm whilst the appliance is on. The heat is generated by
the special refrigerating system (shell condenser) and prevents condensate and
thus rust from forming on the side walls. In order for the heat to be able to be
dissipated, air must be able to circulate around all the side walls.
Attention! To function correctly the appliance requires good ventilation. Make
sure that the side walls and the base of the appliance are not covered or
obstructed.
Appliance Alignment
The appliance must have a solid, level footing. Please compensate for
uneven floors with appropriate supports.
Electrical Connection
Warning – this appliance must be earthed
Please ensure that the voltage and current indicated on the rating plate agree
with the voltage of your electricity supply.
220/240 volts (i. e. 220/240V AC).
If your appliance has been equipped with a mains lead with a moulded on type
plug, you must comply with the following regulations:
The plug moulded on to the cord incorporates a fuse. For replacement, use a 13
amp BS 1362 fuse. Only ASTA approved or certified fuses should be used. The fuse
cover/carrier must be replaced in the event of changing the fuse. The plug must
not be used if the fuse cover/carrier ist lost. A replacement cover/carrier must be
obtained from an electrical goods retailer. If the socket outlets in your home are
not suitable for the plug fitted to the appliance, then the plug must be cut off and
an appropriate one fitted. When fitting the plug please note the following points:
Important
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow Earth
Blue Neutral
Brown Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not
correspond with the coloured markings indentifying the terminals in
your plug, proceed as follows:
1. The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the earth
terminal in your plug, which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol
or coloured green, or green and yellow.
2. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the live terminal which
is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
