1 Safety instructions and warnings

The packaging is designed to protect the ap­pliance and individual components during transport
and is made of recyclable materials.

- Corrugated board/board

- Moulded polystyrene (foamed, CFC-free
polystyrene)

- Polythene bags and sheets

- Polypropylene straps

W Keep packaging materials away from children -

polythene sheets and bags can suffocate!

W Please return the packaging material to your

nearest official collection point so that the various
materials can be reused or recycled as far as
possible.

Your old appliance:

This contains some reusable materials and should
not simply be disposed of with household or bulk
refuse.
W Disable discarded appliances immediately by

removing the plug and cutting through the
connection cable.

Remove the spring-action or bolt catch from
the appliance or render it unusable so that
children cannot become trapped inside and
suffocate.

W Ensure that the refrigerant circuit is not damaged

before the appliance that is no longer needed is
taken away for disposal. In this way the refrig­erant or oil will not escape into the environment.

- Exact details of the refrigerant used can be found
on the type plate. The heat insulator is PU with
Pentane.

- Information on collection dates or collection
points can be obtained from the waste disposal
authorities or local council.

Technical safety

W To prevent injury or damage to the unit, the

appliance should only be transported wrapped
and set up by two people.

W The refrigerant R 600a is environmentally friendly

but flammable.

W Do not damage the refrigerant circuit pipes.

Splashes of refrigerant can harm your eyes or ignite.

W If refrigerant escapes, remove all naked flames or

sources of ignition in the vicinity of the leak,
disconnect the appliance from the mains and
ventilate the area well.

W In the event that the appliance is damaged,

contact the supplier immediately before connect­ing to the mains.

W To guarantee safe operation, ensure that the

appliance is set up and connected as described
in these operating instructions.

W Disconnect the appliance from the mains if any

fault occurs. Pull out the plug (not by pulling on
the mains cable) or switch off or remove the fuse.

W Any repairs and work on the appliance should

only be carried out by the customer service
department, as unauthorised work could prove
highly dangerous for the user. The same applies

to changing the mains power cable.

Safety during use

W

Do not store explosives or sprays using combustible
propellants such as butane, propane, pentane, etc.
in the appliance. Electrical components might
cause leaking gas to ignite. You can identify such
sprays by the printed contents or a flame symbol.

W Only store high-percentage alcohol in tightly

sealed, upright containers.

W Do not allow naked flames or ignition sources to

enter the appliance.
Do not use electrical appliances inside the appliance

W

(e.g. steam cleaners, heaters, ice makers, etc.).

W Do not stand on the plinth, drawers or doors or

16

use them to support anything else.

W Do not let children play with the appliance, e.g.

do not allow them to sit in the drawers or swing
on the door.

W Do not eat ice-cream, particularly ice lollies or

ice-cubes, immediately after taking them from
the freezer compartment as there is a risk of
"burning" because of the very cold temperatures.

W Do not consume food which has been stored for

too long, as it could cause food poisoning.

Setting up

W When setting up/fitting ensure that the refrigerant

circuit pipes are not damaged.

W

Screw the handles* onto the doors using the holes
provided.

By fitting* these parts yourself you will help to save
on packaging material.

W Once in position, use the 10 spanner provided to

adjust the feet so that the appliance is level and
does not wobble.

W Avoid positioning in direct sunlight or next to an

oven, radiator or similar, in damp locations or
near spraying water.

W The ventilation grilles should not be ob-struct-

ed. Always ensure that there is good ventila­tion and that the outward flowing air is able to
escape.

W More information can be found in the installation

and modification instructions.

W Do not place heat-emitting appliances, e.g.

microwave oven, toaster, etc., on top of the re­frigerator or freezer.

W Remove the transport attachments on the

shelves and insert at the desired height.

Connecting to the mains

Power supply (AC) and voltage

at the operating point must comply with the details
on the type plate, which is located inside the ap­pliance on the left, fig. A.

W Connect the appliance with a properly

earthed fused plug and socket only.

W The socket must be fused with a 10 A fuse or

higher, it must be away from the rear of the ap­pliance and must be easily accessible.

W Do not connect the appliance to the supply with

other equipment using an extension cable - risk
of overheating.

W When removing the mains cable from the back of

the appliance, remove the cable holder as well

so as to avoid vibration noise.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accord­ance with the following code: green/yellow = earth,
blue = neutral, brown = live.

Warning! This appliance must be earthed.
Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363

If this machine or appliance is fitted with a non-rewirea­ble plug, the following information applies: If the socket
outlets are not suitable for the plug supplied with this
product, it must be cut off and an appropriate plug
fitted. The plug cut from the flexible cord should be
disposed of and on no account be inserted into a 13 A
socket elsewhere in the house (electric shock hazard).
The fuse cover must be re-fitted when changing the
fuse, and if the fuse cover is lost the plug must not
be used until a suitable replacement is obtained. The
colour of the correct replacement cover is that of the
coloured insert in the base of the plug, or the colour
that is embossed in words on the base of the plug
(as applicable to the design of the plug fitted). The
correct rating of the re-placement fuses that are
ASTA approved to BS 1362 should be fitted. Re­placement fuse covers may be purchased from your
local electrical suppliers, electricity showroom or
approved service agent.

2 Operation and control elements

You are advised to clean the appliance before
switching it on for the first time (see "Cleaning").
Switch on the appliance approx. 2 hours before
loading it with frozen food for the first time. Do not
load with frozen food until the temperature shows
at least -18°C. The
freezer compartments can be operated separately.

Setting the temperature

fig. A1
The appliance is pre-set for normal operation. We
recommend temperatures of +5°C in the refrigera­tor and -18°C in the freezer.

W To reduce the temperature:

Press the bottom button;
tor and

W To increase the temperature:

Press the top button.

- While you are entering the temperature, the set
temperature will flash on the display.

- When you press the temperature setting buttons
for the first time, the most recent setting (known
as the "reference setting") is displayed.

- You can change the settings in increments of
1°C by briefly pressing the buttons again. If the
buttons are held down the temperature setting
will change faster.

- Approximately 5 seconds after the button has
been released, the display will automatically
show the actual freezing or cooling temperature
(known as the "actual setting").

- You can change the temperatures

in the refrigerator: between 11° and 2°C and
in the freezer: between -14° and -28°C.

Whether you can obtain the lowest temperature
depends on where the appliance is positioned (if
it is located in an area with a high ambient tem­perature it will not reach the lowest temperature).

Temperature display

fig. A1
In normal operation, the following settings will be
displayed:

- the average refrigerator temperature in
display

- the warmest frozen food temperature in
display

When starting up for the first time or when the
appliance is warm, dashes will appear until the
temperature reaches a level that can be displayed
(19° to 0°C in the refrigerator and below 0°C in the
freezer).
The display will flash:

- if you change the temperature or

- if the temperature rises by several degrees,
indicating cold loss, e.g. if you place fresh,
"warm" food in the freezer or if you remove or re­pack frozen food the temperature may rise for a
short time due to warm air flowing into the freez­er. Once you have finished loading or re-pack­ing, the electronics will automatically re-set the
temperature to the most recent setting. Short­term rises in temperature will not affect the
frozen food.
