GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
m
m
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the
past. Junked or abandoned refrigeration products are still
dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you
are getting rid of your old appliance, please follow these
instructions to help prevent accidents.
Before you throw away your old refrigeration product:
– Take off the doors.
– Leave the shelves in place so that children may
not easily climb inside.
Keep children away from packaging materials – Danger of
suffocation from folding cartons and cling wrap!
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The appliance comes with an UL listed, 3-wire power
supply cord.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power cord.
The appliance requires a 3-wire receptacle.
The receptacle must be installed by a licensed electrician
only.
When using this appliance, always exercise basic safety
precautions, including the following:
1. Use this appliance only for its intended purpose
as described in this owner's manual.
2. This refrigerator must be properly installed in
accordance with the Installation Instructions before it
is used.
3. Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the
shelves in the refrigerator. They could seriously
injure themselves and damage the refrigerator.
4. After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch
the cold surfaces in the refrigerator compartment,
particularly when hands are damp or wet.
Skin may adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.
5. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
6. For cleaning and exchanging the bulb, pull the mains
plug out or switch off the fuse. Do not pull out the mains
plug by tugging the cable.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be
performed by a qualified individual.
7. A burned-out light bulb may break when being
replaced. NOTE: Setting the refrigerator temperature
controls to OFF does not remove power to the light
circuit.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered,
it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer
to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall
receptacle.
Do not use an adapter plug.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTION
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk
of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance
for the electric current.
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor
may result in electric shock. Have the appliance checked by
a qualified electrician or service technician if you are in doubt
as to whether the appliance has been properly grounded.
Some local regulations may require a separate ground.
In such cases, the required accessory ground wire,
clamp and screw must be purchased separately.
Never ground the appliance to plastic plumbing lines,
gas lines or water pipes.
5

GENERAL INFORMATION FOR USE
This appliance is suitable for refrigerating food.
This appliance is designed for domestic use only.
Congratulations
With the purchase of your new refrigerator you have opted
for a modern, high-quality domestic appliance.
Your refrigerator is distinguished by its economical energy
consumption.
Each appliance which leaves our factory is inspected
thoroughly to ensure that it functions properly and is

Installation
m
Do not install the appliance:
– outdoors,
– in an environment with dripping water,
– in rooms which are at risk of frost.
The appliance is very heavy – for empty weight see
the following table:
Refrigerator 24" 310 Ibs/140 kg
Refrigerator 30" 350 Ibs/158 kg
WARNING
m
Installation room
Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room.
The installation location should neither be exposed to direct
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:
1
–1
/4” (3 cm) to electric or gas cookers.
13
– from an oil or solid-fuel cooker 11
/16" (30 cm).
Ambient temperature
The climatic class can be found on the rating plate.
It states the room temperature within which the appliance
can be operated.
Installation cavity
It is important to observe the specified dimensions
of the installation cavity for a trouble-free installation
of the appliance and for the subsequent general view
of the furniture front.
In particular ensure that the cavity is square.
Squareness can be checked by suitable means, e.g. spirit
level, diagonal measurements, etc.
Furniture/Fixtures
The new appliance will be mounted securely to adjacent and
overhead furniture/fixtures.
For this reason it is essential that all attachable furniture/
fixtures are connected securely to the base or the wall
by suitable means. If making structural changes fix the
appliance in place again corresponding to the installation
instructions.
Base
To ensure that the appliance is installed securely and
functions properly, the base must be flat and level.
The base must be made of hard, rigid material.
The installation area must be the same height as the rest
of the room.
On account of the heavy weight of a fully loaded appliance,
a load-bearing base is required.
For fully-loaded weight see the following table:
Climatic class Permitted ambient temperature
