Caring for the environment
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.
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
offered for recycling.
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!
Disposal of your old appliance
Old appliances contain materials which
can be reclaimed or recycled. Please
contact your dealer, your waste
collection centre or scrap merchant
about potential recycling schemes.
Make sure that the pipework is not
damaged whilst moving an old
appliance. This is to ensure that the
refrigerant and oil in the compressor
cannot leak into the environment. It is
important that they are disposed of in a
safe manner by authorised persons
only.
Ensure that the appliance presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
See the appropriate section in the
Warning and safety instructions.

Warning and safety instructions
Technical safety
This appliance complies with all
relevant legal safety requirements.
Improper use of the appliance can,
however, present a risk of both
personal injury and material
damage.
Before installation and before using
for the first time, read the operating
instructions carefully. They contain
important notes on safety, the
operation and care of the appliance.
This way you will avoid the risk of
accidents and damage to the
appliance.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and pass them on to any
future user.
Correct usage
This appliance is intended for
domestic use only. It must only be
used for storing deep frozen food, for
freezing fresh food and for preparing
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.
which is very environment friendly.
Although it is flammable, it does not
damage the ozone layer and does not
increase the green house effect. The
use of this environment friendly 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
transportation and setting up 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.
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
room space is required. The amount of
coolant in the appliance is stated on the
data plate inside the appliance.
This appliance contains the coolant
Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas
The more refrigerant there is in an
appliance the larger the room it

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 risk of damage to the appliance.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
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 tested by a qualified
electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible 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 is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as caravans, aircraft
etc. However, it may be suitable for
such usage subject to a risk
assessment of the installation being
carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.
Installation work, maintenance and
repairs may only be carried out by
suitably qualified and competent
persons.
persons could be dangerous and the
manufacturer will not be held
responsible.
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:
the plug has been withdrawn.
–
Do not pull on the cable, only on the
plug.
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).
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.

Warning and safety instructions
Do not refreeze thawed or partially
thawed food.
Defrosted food should be used as
quickly as possible as food soon loses
its nutritional value and goes off.
Defrosted food may only be re-frozen
after it has been cooked.
Never store explosive materials in
the appliance.
Switching on thermostats may produce
sparks which could present a fire
hazard.
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. Danger of injury and
damage to the appliance.
Observe the "use by" dates given
on food to avoid the risk of food
poisoning. 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. Follow the instructions given on
food manufacturer’s packaging on
storage conditions required as well as
the "use by" date.
Do not use sharp edged objects to
–
remove frost and ice,
–
separate frozen foods and remove
ice trays.
They will damage the evaporator and
the appliance will not be able to be
used again (total damage).
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 could contain
substances which could damage the
plastic parts and which may cause the
build up of gases and pose a danger to
health.
Do not use any grease or oil on the
door seals. These cause the seals
to become porous in the course of 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.
The appliance is designed for use
within certain climate ranges
(ambient temperatures). It must not be
used in ranges for which it is not
designed. 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 will lead to the appliance
switching off for longer periods so that
it cannot maintain the required
temperature.
Never use steam cleaning
apparatus to defrost or clean the
appliance. The steam could attack the
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.

Warning and safety instructions
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 appliance guarantee.
Disposal of old appliances
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.
Before disposing of an old
appliance, unplug it and render the
plug useless. Cut off the cable directly
behind the appliance and at the plug to
prevent misuse.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and safety instructions.
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.

Operation
Before using for the first time
Clean the inside of the appliance and
^
the accessories with warm water and
a little washing up liquid and then dry
with a soft cloth.
Important:
To ensure correct functioning of the
appliance, let it stand for between ½
and 1 hour after transporting it to its
final location before connecting it to
the mains. This is important for the
correct functioning of the appliance.
Switching on
^ Using a coin, turn the On/Off dial in a
clockwise direction away from the "0"
position.
Forcing it beyond its range will
damage it. Turn it only as far as it will
go, then turn it back again.
The in-operation and the alarm
indicator lights come on and the
appliance starts cooling.
Switching off
Using a coin, turn the On/Off dial in
^
an anti-clockwise direction back to
the "0" position.
All indicator lights go out and the
cooling process is switched off.
Switching off for longer
periods of time
If the appliance is not going to be used
for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst
on holiday,
^ switch the appliance off at the mains,
^ take out the plug (pull on the plug
and not the cable),
^ defrost and clean the appliance out
and
^ leave the door ajar to air the
appliance.
If, during a long absence, the
appliance is switched off but not
cleaned out and the door is left shut,
mould and odours are likely to build
up inside the appliance.
Allow the appliance to run for a few
hours before placing food in it. This will
ensure that the temperature is
sufficiently low.
The higher the setting, the lower the
temperature in the appliance.
