m 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,
▯ 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.
Important information when using the appliance
▯ Never use electrical appliances inside
the appliance (e.g. heater, electric ice
maker, etc.). Explosion hazard!
▯ 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 sharp-edged
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.
Ensure that children and vulnerable
people have understood the hazards.
A person responsible for safety must
supervise or instruct children and
vulnerable people who are using the
appliance.

Installing the appliance
Have a technician install and connect the appliance according to the enclosed installation instructions.
Transporting
Ventilation
Conduction of the heated air must not be obstructed.
Otherwise, the refrigeration unit must work harder.
This increases power consumption. Therefore: Never
cover or block the ventilation opening!
The appliance is heavy. Secure in position during transportation and installation.
Due to the weight/dimensions of the appliance and to minimise the risk of injury and damage to the appliance at least two persons are necessary to set-up the appliance safely.
Installation location
A dry, well ventilated room is suitable as an
installation location. The installation location should
not be exposed to direct sunlight and not placed 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 from the 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; if required, reinforce floor.
Connecting the appliance
Have a technician install and connect the appliance
according to the enclosed installation instructions.
Do not remove the transportation protection devices from the shelves and storage compartments until the appliance has been installed.
In addition to the statutory national regulations, observe the connection conditions of the local power supply companies.
After installing the appliance, wait at least 1 hour until the appliance starts up. 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.
Ambient temperature and ventilation
Ambient temperature
The climate class can be found on the rating plate. The climate class indicates within which ambient temperatures the appliance can be operated.
Climate
class
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.
Permitted ambient
temperature
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 on
the rating plate match the values of your mains supply.
These specifications can be found on the rating plate
(see chapter “Customer service”).
m 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 national grid. Sinecontrolled inverters must be used for isolated
applications (e.g. on ships or in mountain lodges)
which are not connected directly to the national grid.
