suitable for operation in potentially explosive atmospheres.
The appliance is set to operate within specific ambient temperature limits according to its climate rating. The correct climate
rating for your appliance is indicated on the type plate.
Note
Compliance with the ambient temperatures indicated is
u
required, otherwise the cooling performance is reduced.
Climate
rating
SN, N up to 32 °C
ST up to 38 °C
T up to 43 °C
for ambient temperatures

1.5 Saving energy
Always ensure good ventilation. Do not cover ventilation
-
openings or grille.
Do not place appliance in areas of direct sunlight or next to a
-
stove, heater or similar object.
The energy consumption depends on the installation condi-
-
tions, e.g. the ambient temperature (see 1.2) .
Keep the time the appliance is open to a minimum.
-
The lower the temperature setting, the higher the power
-
consumption.
Ensure that all food is well packed and covered for storage.
-
This will prevent frost from forming.
If there is a thick layer of frost in the appliance: defrost the
-
appliance.
Accumulated dust increases the energy
consumption:
Once a year, dust the refrigerating unit
-
together with the metal grille of the heat
exchanger at the back of the appliance.
2 General safety information
Danger for the user:
This appliance is not designed for persons (including chil-
-
dren) with physical, sensory or mental impairment or
persons not having sufficient experience and knowledge,
unless they are instructed in the use of the appliance and
are initially supervised by a person responsible for their
safety. Keep children under supervision to ensure they do
not play with the appliance.
When disconnecting the appliance from the supply, always
-
take hold of the plug. Do not pull the cable.
In the event of a fault pull out the mains plug or deactivate
-
the fuse.
Do not damage the mains power cable. Do not operate the
-
appliance with a defective mains power cable.
General safety information
Have any repairs to or intervention in the appliance, and any
-
change of the mains power cable, carried out by the
customer service only or by other specialised personnel
trained for the purpose.
Install and connect the appliance only as instructed.
-
Please keep these instructions in a safe place and pass
-
them on to any subsequent owners.
Fire hazard:
The refrigerant R 600a is environmentally friendly but flam-
-
mable. Escaping refrigerant may ignite.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit pipes.
•
Do not allow naked flames or ignition sources to enter the
•
appliance.
Do not use any electrical appliances in the interior (e.g.
•
steam cleaners, heaters, ice cream maker etc.).
If refrigerant escapes: remove any naked flames or
•
sources of ignition from the leakage area. Ventilate the
room well. Notify the after-sales service.
Do not store explosives or sprays using combustible propel-
-
lants such as butane, propane, pentane, etc. in the appliance. To identify these spray cans, look for the list of
contents printed on the can, or a flame symbol. Gases
possibly escaping may ignite due to electrical components.
Keep burning candles, lamps and other items with naked
-
flames away from the appliance so that they do not set the
appliance on fire.
Always store high-percentage alcohol in tightly sealed,
-
upright containers. Alcohol possibly escaping may ignite
due to electrical components.
Danger of tipping and falling:
Do not misuse the plinth, drawers, doors etc. as a step or for
-
support. This applies particularly to children.
Danger of food poisoning:
Do not consume food which has been stored too long.
-
Danger of frostbite, numbness and pain:
Avoid lasting skin contact with cold surfaces or refrigerated/
-
frozen food or take protective steps, e.g. wear gloves. Do
not consume ice cream, water ice or ice cubes immediately
and do not consume them too cold.
