Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation!
Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure that they are recycled.
Disposal of your old appliance
Please ensure that the appliance presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.
It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person. The plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse. See the "Warning and Safety" section of this booklet for further details.
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance.
Please dispose of your old appliance at your local community waste collection / recycling centre and not with your household waste.
Take care not to damage the pipework at the back of it before or during transportation to an authorised collection depot. In this way, refrigerant in the pipework and oil in the compressor will be contained, and will not leak out into the environment.
Caring for the environment

This appliance complies with all relevant legal safety requirements. Improper use can, however, present a risk of both personal injury and material damage.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, read the operating instructions carefully before installation and before using for the first time. They contain important notes on the installation, safety, operation and care of the appliance.
Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future user.
Correct use
This appliance is intended for
domestic use only, to store deep frozen food, freeze fresh food, and to make ice. Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect or improper use of the appliance.
This appliance is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury, do not allow children to play on or near it, or to play with the controls. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm.
Technical safety
This appliance contains the coolant
Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is flammable, it does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect. The use of this coolant has, however, led to a slight increase in the noise level of the appliance. In addition to the noise of the compressor, you might be able to hear the coolant flowing around the system. This is unavoidable, but does not have any adverse effect on the performance of the appliance. Care must be taken during the transportation and installation of the appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can damage the eyes. In the event of any damage:
- avoid open fires and anything which creates a spark,
- disconnect from the mains,
- air the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes and
- contact the Service Department for advice.
The more coolant there is in an
appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases building up. For every 8 g of coolant at least 1 m
3
of room space is required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.
Warning and Safety instructions

Before connecting the appliance to
the mains supply, make sure that the rating on the data plate corresponds to the voltage and frequency of the household supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between the appliance and an effective earthing system, which complies with local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly tested. Where there is any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Safe operation of the appliance is
only assured if it has been installed and connected in accordance with these operating and installation instructions.
This equipment may only be used
in mobile installations such as ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.
Installation work, maintenance and
repairs may only be carried out by suitably qualified and competent persons in accordance with national and local safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and the manufacturer will not be held liable. Ensure current is not supplied to the appliance while maintenance or repair work is being carried out.
The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply when:
– it has been switched off at the socket
and the plug has been withdrawn. – the mains fuse is withdrawn, or – the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
Warning and Safety instructions

Use
Never handle frozen food with wet hands. Your hands may freeze to
the frozen food. Danger of frost burn.
Do not take ice cubes out with your
bare hands and never place ice cubes or ice lollies in your mouth straight from the freezer. The very low temperature of the frozen ice or lollies can cause frost burn to the lips and tongue.
Do not allow children to play with
the appliance, for example to climb inside the drawers or to swing on the door.
Do not refreeze thawed or partially
thawed food. Defrosted food should be used up as quickly as possible, as food soon loses it nutritional value and goes off. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked.
Storage times will depend on
several factors, including the freshness and quality of the food as well as the temperature at which it is stored. To avoid the risk of food poisoning, follow the instructions given on the food manufacturer's packaging on the storage conditions required, as well as the "use by" date.
Do not store explosive materials in
the appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Thermostats switching on may produce sparks which could present a fire hazard. Flammable compounds could explode.
Do not store cans or bottles
containing carbonated drinks or liquids which could freeze in the freezer. The cans or bottles could explode. Danger of injury and damage to the appliance.
When cooling drinks quickly in the
freezer, make sure bottles are not left in for more than one hour, otherwise they could burst. This could result in injury or damage.
Do not use sharp edged objects to – remove frost and ice, – separate frozen foods or remove ice
trays. They will damage the evaporator, causing irreversible damage to the appliance.
Do not use any oils or grease on
the door seals, as these will cause the seals to deteriorate and become porous with time.
Do not block the ventilation gaps in
the appliance as this would impair the efficiency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption and could cause damage to the appliance.
Warning and Safety instructions
9
The appliance is designed for use
within certain climate ranges (ambient temperatures), and should not be used outside this range. The climate range for your appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance. Installing it in a room with too low an ambient temperature, e.g. a garage, will lead to the appliance switching off for longer periods so that it cannot maintain the required temperature.
Never place electric heaters or
candles in the appliance to defrost it. These can damage the plastic parts.
Do not use defrosting sprays or
de-icers, as they might contain substances which could damage the plastic parts or which could cause a build-up of gases and pose a danger to health.
Never use a steam-cleaning
appliance to defrost or clean this appliance. Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.
Disposal of your old appliance
Before disposing of an old
appliance, first make the door latch or lock unusable. This way you will prevent children from accidentally locking themselves in and endangering their lives.
Disconnect it from the mains. Cut
off the cable and render any plug unusable.
Be careful not to damage any part
of the pipework whilst awaiting disposal, e.g. by
– puncturing the refrigerant channels
in the evaporator. – bending any pipework. – scratching the surface coating. Splashes of refrigerant can damage the
eyes.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.
