Foreseeable misuse

The following applications are expressly prohibited:

2	* Depending on model and options

General safety information

-Storage and cooling of medicines, blood plasma, laboratory compounds or similar materials and products subject to the Medical Devices Directive 2007/47/EC

-Use in potentially explosive areas

Improper use of the appliance can lead to damage to or spoilage of the stored goods.

Climate rating definitions

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

uCompliance with the ambient temperatures indicated is required, otherwise the cooling performance is reduced.

Climate	for ambient temperatures
rating
SN, N	up to 32 °C
ST	up to 38 °C
T	up to 43 °C

The appliance will function properly in ambient temperatures of down to 5 °C.

1.3 Conformity

The refrigerant circuit is tested for leakage. The appliance complies with the relevant safety regulations and EC Directives 2006/95/EC, 2004/108/EC, 2009/125/EC and 2010/30/EU.

Note for test institutions:

Tests are to be carried out according to the applicable standards and guidelines.

Preparation and testing of the appliances must be carried out taking the manufacturer's loading plans and the notes in the operating manual into account.

x For appliances supplied with wall spacers, the measurement increases by 35 mm (see 4.2) .

1.5Saving 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 conditions, 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.

-First cool warm food to room temperature before storing it .

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.

1.6 Insulation plate

The insulation plate for part-load operation is available as an accessory from specialist dealers.

If you do not store much food in the appliance, you can reduce the power consumption by as much as 50 % by using the insulation plate. Up to 5 drawers can be deenergised, depending on model. At least 3 drawers are necessary for cooling. More information accompanies the insulation plate.

2 General safety information

Danger for the user:

-This appliance can be used by children of 8 years old and over, and also by persons with restricted physical, sensory or mental capacity or lack of experience and knowledge, if they are supervised or have been instructed on safe use of the appliance and understand the resulting risks. Children must not be allowed to play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children without supervision.

-When disconnecting the appliance from the supply, always take hold of the plug. Do not pull the cable.

Putting into operation

4 Putting into operation

4.1 Transporting the appliance

CAUTION

Risk of injury and danger of damage as a result of incorrect transport!

u Transport the appliance in a packed condition. u Transport the appliance upright.

u Do not transport the appliance without assistance.

4.2 Installing the appliance

WARNING

Fire hazard due to dampness!

If live parts or the mains lead become damp this may cause short circuits.

u The appliance is designed for use in enclosed areas. Do not operate the appliance outdoors or in areas where it is exposed to splash water or damp conditions.

WARNING

Risk of fire due to short circuit!

If the mains cable/connector of the appliance or of another appliance touch the rear of the appliance, the mains cable/ connector may be damaged by the appliance vibrations, leading to a short circuit.

u Stand the appliance so that it is not touched by connectors or main cables.

u Do not plug the appliance or any others into sockets located near the rear of the appliance.

WARNING

Fire hazard due to refrigerant!

The refrigerant R 600a is environmentally friendly but flammable. Escaping refrigerant may ignite.

u Do not damage the piping of the refrigeration circuit.

WARNING

Fire hazard and danger of damage!

u Do not place appliances emitting heat e.g. microwaves, toasters etc. on the appliance!

WARNING

Blocked ventilation openings pose a risk of fire and damage!

u Always keep the ventilation openings clear. Always ensure that the appliance is properly ventilated!

NOTICE

Risk of damage due to condensate!

u Do not install the appliance directly alongside a further refrigerator/freezer.

q In the event that the appliance is damaged, contact the supplier immediately before connecting to the mains.

q The floor at the site must be flat and level.

q Do not install the appliance in a location where it is exposed to direct radiation of the sun, next to a cooker, heater and similar.

q The ideal installation site is a dry, well ventilated room.

q Always stand the appliance backed directly to the wall using the enclosed wall spacers (see below).

q The appliance may be moved only when it is empty. q Do not install the appliance without assistance.

q The more R 600a refrigerant there is in the appliance, the larger the room in which the appliance is standing needs to be. In rooms that are too small, a flammable mix of gas and air may be created if there is a leak. According to the EN 378 standard, every 11 g of R 600a refrigerant requires at least 1 m3 space in the room for the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your appliance is on the type plate inside the appliance.

u Detach the connecting cable from the rear of the appliance, removing the cable holder at the same time because otherwise there will be vibratory noise!

NOTICE

The stainless steel doors are finished with a high quality surface coating and must not be treated with the enclosed care product,

as otherwise the surface coating will be damaged.

u Please only use a soft clean cloth to wipe the coated door surfaces.

u Only use a stainless steel care product on the stainless steel side walls, applying it evenly in the direction of polishing. Subsequent cleaning will then be easier.

u Use only a soft clean cloth to wipe side walls and door surfaces with a paint finish.

u Remove all transit supports.

The spacers supplied with some appliances must be used to achieve the stated energy consumption. These will extend the depth of the appliance by approx. 35 mm. The appliance is fully functional if the spacers are not used, but does have a slightly higher energy consumption.

u In the case of an appliance with enclosed wall spacers, mount the wall spacers on the back of the appliance at the top left and right.

uDispose of packaging material (see 4.5) .

uAlign the appliance so that it stands firmly and on a level by applying the accompanying spanner to the adjustableheight feet (A) and using a spirit level.

Note

u Clean the appliance (see 6.2) .

If the appliance is installed in a very damp environment, condensate may form on the outside of the appliance.

u Always see to good ventilation at the installation site.
