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
Please ensure that your old appliance is disposed of at an authorised disposal centre only. Contact your local authority for advice if required.
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
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.
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.
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.
Technical safety
This appliance contains the coolant Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas
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.
The more refrigerant 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 m3 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 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 regularly and 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 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.
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:
–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 causing irreversible damage to the appliance.
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 grilles 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) and should not be used in this range. 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, e.g. in a garage, 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. Pressurised steam could reach 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.
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.
