Safety

The safety aspects of our refrigerators/freezers comply with accepted technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. Nevertheless, we consider it our obligation to make you aware of the following safety information:

Intended use

•The refrigerator is intended for use in the home. It is suitable for cooling food. If the appliance is used for purposes other than those intended or used incorrectly, no liability can be accepted by the manufacturer for any damage that may be caused.

•Alterations or changes to the freezer are not permitted for reasons of safety.

•If you use the refrigerator in a commercial application or for purposes other than the cooling of foods, please observe all valid legal regulations for your application.

Prior to initial start–up

• Check the refrigerator for transport damage. Under no circumstance should a damaged appliance be plugged in! In the event of damage, please contact the retailer.

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.

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.

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 - 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 life-endangering situations.

Disposal:

•The appliance may not be disposed of with domestic waste or bulky refuse.

•The refrigerant circuit, especially the heat exchanger at the back of the appliance, may not be damaged.

•The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it should be handed over to the appropriate collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this product. For more detailed information about recycling of this product, please contact your local council, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.

Remove transport safeguard

The appliance and the interior fittings are protected for transport.

•Remove all adhesive tape and packing pieces from the interior of the appliance.

Your appliance is equipped with shelf retainers that make it possible to secure the shelves during transportation.

Installation

Installation Location

The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room.

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 can be found on the serial plate, which is located at the left on the inside of the appliance.

The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each climate classification: each climate classification:

Climate classification		for an ambient temperature of


SN		+10 bis +32 °C

N		+16 bis +32 °C

ST		+18 bis +38 °C

T		+18 bis +43 °C

If installation next to a source of heat is unavoidable, the following minimum clearances must be maintained at the sides of the appliance:

–for electric cookers 3 cm;

–for oil and coal fired ranges 30 cm.

If these clearances cannot be maintained a heat insulating pad is required between the cooker and the refrigeration appliance.

If the refrigeration appliance is installed next to another refrigerator or freezer a clearance of 5 cm at the sides is required, in order to prevent the formation of condensation on the outside of the appliance.

Rear spacers

Fit the rear spacers contained in the appliance to ensure escape of heat generated during operation. Proceed in the sequence illustrated in figures.

Fitting the Door Handle

1. Screw the top handle bracket to the handle rod

(1). Fit the bottom handle bracket on the lower lefthand side of the door (2).

2. Fit the top handle bracket on the top left-hand side of the door (3) and screw the handle rod to the bottom handle bracket (4).

Attention!

Do not overtighten the screws (max. 2 Nm) as you may damage the door handles.

Rehingeing the door

The side at which the door opens can be changed from the right side (factory adjustment) to the left side, if the installation site requires.

Warning! When changing the side at which the door opens, the appliance may not be connected to the mains. Remove plug from the mains beforehand.

Procced as follows:

To carry out the following operations, we suggest that this be done with another person that will keep a firm hold on the door of the appliance during the operations.

Gently lay the appliance on its back.

1. Remove the ventilation grille.

2. Remove the bottom hinge (A) by unscrewing the fixing screws.

3.Remove the door.

4.Unscrew the pin of the bottom

hinge (f) and refit it on the opposite side.

5.Unscrew the pin of the upper hinge

(d) and refit it on the opposite side.

6.Insert the door in the upper hinge and refit the upper hinges (A).

Pay attention that the border of the doors are parallel to the top border, otherwise adjust the position of the lower hinge of the door (A).

7.Remove from the ventilation grille the cover (e) and refit it on

the opposite side.

8. Refit ventilation grille.

9.Unscrew the top handle bracket from the handle rod (1). Unscrew the bottom handle bracket from the door (2).

Unscrew the top handle bracket from the door (3) and screw onto the bottom righthand side of the door (4).

Turn the handle bracket with the handle rod 180° and screw them to the door (5) and the fitted handle bracket (6).

Move the small plug from right to left..

Reposition, level the appliance, wait for at least one hour and then connect it to the mains socket.

In any case you do not want to carry out the above mentioned operations, contact your local Sales Service Force. The Service engineer will carry out the reversibility of the doors at your cost.

Attention:

After having reversed the opening direction of the doors check that all the screws are properly tightened and that the magnetic seal adheres to the cabinet. If the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the gasket may not fit perfectly to the cabinet. in that case, wait for the natural fitting of the gasket or accelerate this process by heating up the part involved with a normal hairdryer.

Electrical connection

Before initial start-up, refer to the appliance rating plate to ascertain if supply voltage and current values correspond with those of the mains at the installation location.

e.g.:	AC	230 ...	240 V	50 Hz or
	230 ...	240 V~	50 Hz

(i.e. 230 to 240 volts alternating current, 50 Hertz) The rating plate is inside the appliance on the left.

A correctly installed, earthed socket is required for the electrical supply. The supply must have a fuse rating of at least 10 Amps.

If the socket is not accessible once the appliance is built in, the electrical installation must include suitable means of isolating the appliance from the mains (e.g. fuse, cut-out, current trip or similar with a minimum contact separation of 3 mm).

Attention: it must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply; the plug must therefore be easily accessible after the installation.

Attention: If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its Service Agent.

Prior to Initial Start–Up

•Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial startup (see section: “Cleaning and Care”).

Temperature setting buttons

The temperature is adjusted using the “B“ and “D“ buttons. These buttons are connected to the temperature display.

•The temperature display is switched over from the display of the ACTUAL temperature (Temperature display is illuminated) to the display of the DESIRED temperature (Temperature display flashes) by pressing one of the two buttons, “B“ or “D“ .

•Each time one of the two buttons is pressed again the DESIRED temperature is adjusted by 1 °C. The DESIRED temperature must be reached within 24 hours.

If neither button is pressed, the temperature display automatically switches back after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) to the display of the ACTUAL temperature.

DESIRED temperature means:

The temperature that has been selected for inside the fridge. The DESIRED temperature is indicated by flashing numbers.

ACTUAL temperature means:

The temperature display indicates the current temperature inside the fridge. The ACTUAL temperature is indicated with illuminated numbers.

Temperature display

The temperature display can indicate several pieces of information.

•During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the fridge (ACTUAL temperature) is displayed.

•When the temperature is being adjusted a flashing display indicates the fridge temperature currently set (DESIRED temperature).

ALARM OFF button

With the ALARM OFF button, the acoustic warning signal can be switched off, e.g. the "Open Door" warning when loading or rearranging food to be chilled.

Starting Up - Setting the Temperature

1.Plug the mains plug into the mains socket.

2.Press button (A). The appliance starts.

3.Press either the “B“ or “D“ button. The temperature display switches over and the DESIRED temperature currently set flashes on the temperature display.

"Open Door"- Warning

If the fridge door is left open for longer than 5 minutes the red warning display will flash and an acoustic warning tone will sound.

If you need more time to load or rearrange refrigerated foods, you can switch off the warning tone by pressing the ALARM OFF button. The red warning display will go off when the door is closed.

Holiday Mode

In the holiday mode the temperature for the refrigerator is approximately

+15 °C. In the holiday mode it is therefore possible to leave the door of the empty refrigerator closed during periods of extended absence. Advantage: Unintentional, or accidental closing of the door by persons who have access to your home during your absence, is no longer possible. Without activating the holiday mode, leaving the door closed would lead to the accumulation of odours and mould.

After emptying and cleaning the appliance, proceed as follows:

1. To set the holiday mode, press the “ +” (WARMER) or “-“ (COLDER) button. The temperature display will change and indicate in flashing numbers

the DESIRED temperature that is currently set.

2. Hold down the “+“ (WARMER) button until the temperature display indicates H (for holiday). The temperature shown in the temperature display will change in steps of 1 °C until it reaches +8 °C. After +8 °C the value +15 °C will appear in the display with the letter H. The fridge is now operating in energy-saving holiday mode.

3 To switch the fridge back to normal operation, press the “-“ (COLDER) button.

Important! Do not store any goods in the refrigerator when the holiday mode is in operation. The temperature is regulated at about +15 °C when the holiday mode is in operation. This is too warm for food products.

Warning: this appliance is sold in France.

In accordance with regulations valid in this country it must be provided with a special device (see figure) placed in the lower compartment of the fridge, to indicate the coldest zone of it.
