household refuse. Appliances which are no longer
needed must be disposed of in a professional and
appropriate way, in accordance with the current local
regulations and laws.
When disposing of the appliance, ensure that the refrigerant circuit
is not damaged to prevent uncontrolled escape of the refrigerant
it contains (data on type plate) and oil.
• Disable the appliance.
• Pull out the mains plug.
• Cut through the connection cable.
WARNING
Danger of suocation due to packing material and plastic lm!
Do not allow children to play with packaging material. Take the
packaging material to an ocial collection point.
Saving energy
- Always ensure good ventilation. Do not cover ventilation openings or grille.
- Always keep fan slits clear.
- Avoid positioning the appliance in direct sunlight or near cookers,
radiators and similar sources of heat.
- The energy consumption depends on the installation conditions,
e.g. the ambient temperature.
- Keep the time the appliance is open to a minimum.
Accumulated dust increases the energy consumption:
- Once a year, dust the refrigeration unit together with the metal
grid of the heat exchanger at the back of the appliance.
Climate rating
The climate rating indicates the room
temperature at which the appliance may
be operated in order to achieve full refrigeration performance.
The climate rating is indicated on the
type plate.
The position of the type plate is shown in
the section entitled Description of the appliance.
