Safety regulations
W The appliance is designed to cool, freeze and store food
and to make ice. It is designed as a household appliance.
Perfect functioning cannot be guaranteed for any other
use.
W The appliance is set to operate within specific ambient
temperature limits according to its climate rating. These
temperature limits should not be exceeded. The correct
climate rating for your appliance is indicated on the type
plate. This is explained as follows:
Climate class designed for
ambient temperatures of
SN +10°C to +32°C
N +16°C to +32°C
ST +18°C to +38°C
T +18°C to +43°C
- The refrigerant circuit has been tested for leaks.
- The appliance complies with current safety regulations and
EC directives 73/23/EEC and 89/336/EEC.
Notes on energy saving
W Ensure that there is adequate space around the appliance
for ventilation and air extraction.
W Avoid keeping the door open for too long.
W Store food logically. Do not exceed the storage period
specified.
W Keep all food properly packed and covered so as to avoid
its frosting up on the outside.
W Always allow hot food to cool to room temperature before
placing in the appliance.
W Defrost frozen food in the refrigerator.
W Keep the appliance door shut in the event of a breakdown.
This will delay the cold loss The quality of the frozen goods
is maintained longer.

Safety instructions and warnings
Disposal notes
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 re-
moving the plug and cutting through the connection
cable.
Remove spring or bolt lock so that children cannot lock
themselves in when playing - they will 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 are given on the type
plate, heat insulator is PU with pentane.
- Information on collection dates or collection points can be
obtained from the waste disposal authorities or local
council.
Setting up
W When setting up/fitting ensure that the refrigerant circuit
pipes are not damaged.
W Standard EN 378 specifies that the room in which you
install your appliance must have a volume of 1 m
of R 600a refrigerant used in the appliance, so as to avoid
the formation of inflammable gas/air mixtures in the room
where the appliance is located in the event of a leak in the
refrigerant circuit. The quantity of refrigerant is given on the
type plate in the interior of the appliance.
W Avoid positioning in direct sunlight or next to an oven, radia-
tor or similar, in damp locations or near spraying water.
W Once in position, use the 10 spanner provided to
adjust the feet so that the appliance is level and
does not wobble.
W The ventilation grilles should not be obstructed.
Always ensure that there is good ventilation and
that the outward flowing air is able to escape.
More information can be found in the installation
and modification instructions.
W Do not place heat-emitting appliances, e.g. micro-
wave oven, toaster, etc., on top of the refrigerator
or freezer.
W When you open the door for the first time, the handle
switches from the transport position to the operating
position; you will hear a soft click.
W Remove all transportation safety components:
- Remove sticky tape or spacers* from shelves and
insert shelves in the required position.
- Remove all protective film: from the decorative trims,
front walls and side walls*.

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 In the event of a fault, disconnect appliance from mains: pull out
the plug (do not pull on connection cable) or trip or turn out 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 any explosive materials or spray cans
with flammable propellants in the appliance, such
as butane, propane, pentane etc. 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.
W Do not use electrical appliances inside the appliance (e.g.
steam cleaners, heaters).
W Do not stand on the plinth, drawers or doors or use them to
support anything else.
W The appliance is not intended for use by young children or
infirm persons without supervision.
W Do not let children play with the appliance, e.g. do not al-
low them to sit in the drawers or swing on the door.
W Do not eat ice-cream, particularly ice lollies or ice-cubes, immedi-
ately 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.
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 to stand-alone inverters,
- operate with so-called energy-saving plugs - this can damage the electronic system,
- connect to the supply with other equipment using an
extension cable - risk of overheating.
W When removing the mains cable from the back of the appli-
ance, remove the cable holder 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 replacement 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.
