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!

WPlease 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.

WDisable 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

WTo 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.

WIf 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.

WAny 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

WDo 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.

WOnly 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, ice makers, etc.).

WDo not stand on the plinth, drawers or doors or use them to support anything else.

WDo not let children play with the appliance, e.g. do not allow them to sit in the drawers or swing on the door.

WDo not eat ice-cream, particularly ice lollies or icecubes, immediately after taking them from the freezer compartment as there is a risk of "burning" because of the very cold temperatures.

WDo 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.	GB
W Screw the handle onto the door using the holes provi-
ded. Clip the cover strip or caps* into place. To
remove the cover strip later on, simply detach it by
inserting a screwdriver into the cut-outs at the back.
By fitting these parts yourself you will help to
save on packaging material.

WOnce in position, use the 19 spanner provided to adjust the feet so that the appliance is level and does not wobble.

WAvoid positioning in direct sunlight or next to an oven, radiator or similar, in damp locations or

near spraying water.

WStandard EN 378 specifies that the room in which you install your appliance must have a volume of 1 m3 per 8 g of R 600a refrigerant used in the appliance, so as to avoid the forma-tion 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

used in your appliance is indicated on the type plate on the inside of the appliance.

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. Please note the appendix concerning installation instructions.

W Do not place heat-emitting appliances, e.g. microwave oven, toaster, etc., on top of the refrigerator or freezer.

WRemove 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.

WConnect the appliance with a properly earthed fused plug and socket only.

WThe socket must be fused with a 10 A fuse or higher, it must be away from the rear of the ap-

pliance 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.

WWhen 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-rewirea- ble 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.
