Safety and warning information
Important information when using
the appliance
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.
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.
▯ Notify customer service.
The more refrigerant an appliance contains, the larger
the room must be. 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.
▯ 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.
▯ 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 (children 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 lowtemperature burns!
▯ Avoid prolonged touching of frozen food, ice or
the evaporator pipes, etc. Risk of low-temperature
burns!
A extension cable may be purchased from customer
service only.

The climate class indicates within which ambient
temperatures the appliance can be operated.
Climate class Permitted ambient
temperature
SN
N
ST
T
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.
+10 °C to 32 °C
+16 °C to 32 °C
+16 °C to 38 °C
+16 °C to 43 °C
Ventilation
Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room.
Theinstallation location should neither be exposed
todirect 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.
The floor of the installation location must not give way.
Ifrequired, reinforce floor.
The appliance must be perpendiclar.
Distance from wall
If appliances feature a glass front, the hinge side must
be at least 55 mm from the wall to ensure that the
doors can be opened by 90°.
The air on the rear panel of the appliance heats up.
This area needs to be well ventilated.
Otherwise, the refrigeration unit will work harder, this
increases energy consumption.
Therefore: Never cover or block the ventilation
openings!
We recommend a distance of 70mm from the back
wall.

Aligning the appliance
Electrical connection
Place the appliance in the designated location and
align. The appliance must be level. If the floor is
uneven, use the front height-adjustable feet. Adjust
the height-adjustable feet with a socket wrench.
Note
The appliance must be upright. Please align it with
a spirit level.
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. These specifications can
be found on the rating plate.
Connecting the appliance
After installing the appliance, wait at least 1 hour until
the appliance starts up. During transportation, the oil
contained in the compressor may run into the
refrigeration system.
Before switching on the appliance for the first time,
clean the interior. See Cleaning the appliance.
: Warning
Never connect the appliance to electronic
energy saver plugs.
Our appliances can be used with mains and sinecontrolled inverters. Mains-controlled inverters
are used for photovoltaic systems which are
connected directly to the power supply system.
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.
