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 collec
tion centre or scrap merchant about
potential recycling schemes.
Make sure that the pipework is not
damaged whilst moving an old appli
ance. This is to ensure that the refriger
ant 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.

which is very environment friendly. Al
though it is flammable, it does not dam
age the ozone layer and does not in
crease 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 compres
-
sor you might be able to hear the cool
ant flowing around the system. This is
unavoidable, but does not have any ad
verse 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 combusti
ble 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.

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. De
frosted food may only be re-frozen after
it has been cooked.
Never store explosive materials in
the appliance. Switching on ther
mostats may produce sparks which
could present a fire hazard.
If storing alcohol with a high per
centage proof in the refrigerator,
make sure it is tightly closed and stored
upright.
Danger of explosion.
Do not store cans or bottles con-
taining carbonated drinks or liquids
which could freeze in the freezer compartment. The cans or bottles could explode. Danger of injury and damage to
the appliance.
When cooling drinks quickly in the
freezer compartment make sure
bottles are not left in for more than one
hour, otherwise they could burst. Dan
ger of injury and damage to the appli
ance.
Observe the "use by" dates given
on food to avoid the risk of food
poisoning. Storage times will depend
on several factors including the fresh
ness and quality of the food as well as
the temperature at which it is stored.
Follow the instructions given on food
manufacturers 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.
This would impair the efficiency of the
appliance, increase the electricity con
sumption and could cause damage to
the appliance.
The appliance is designed for use
within certain climate ranges (am
bient temperatures). It must not be
used in ranges for which it is not de
signed. The climate range for your ap
pliance is stated on the data plate in
side the appliance. Installing it in a
room with too low an ambient tempera
ture will lead to the appliance switching
off for longer periods so that it cannot
maintain the required temperature.

tus to defrost or clean the appli
ance. The steam could attack the elec
trical 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 appli
ance 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 appli
ance 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 appli
ance, unplug it and render the plug
useless. Cut off the cable directly be
hind the appliance and at the plug to
prevent misuse.
Be careful not to damage any part
of the pipework whilst awaiting dis
posal, e.g. by
– puncturing the refrigerant channels
in the evaporator.
– bending any pipework.
– scratching the surface coating.
Splashes of refrigerant can damage the
eyes.

Switching on and off
Before using for the first time
Clean the inside of the appliance and
^
the accessories with luke warm water
and a little washing up liquid and
then dry using a soft cloth.
Switching on
Turn the temperature selector in a
^
clockwise direction away from "0".
8 will flash in the temperature display
for a short time. A bar will then light up.
The appliance will begin to cool. The in
terior light will come on when the door
is opened.
Switching off
^ Turn the temperature selector in an
anti-clockwise direction back from "1"
to "0".
The temperature display will go out.
The cooling system and the interior light
are now 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,
^
withdraw the plug (pull on the plug
^
and not the cable),
defrost the freezer compartment,
^
clean the appliance,
^
leave the door to the appliance and
^
to the freezer compartment 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 there is
a danger of mould and odours building up inside the appliance.

The correct temperature
It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the ap
pliance. Micro organisms will cause
food which is not stored at the correct
temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Tem
perature influences the growth rate of
these micro organisms. Reducing the
temperature reduces their growth rate.
The temperature in the appliance will
rise:
the more often the door is opened
–
and the longer it is kept open,
– if too much food is stored in it at
once,
– the warmer the food is which is put
into it,
– the higher the ambient temperature
surrounding the appliance.
The appliance is designed for use in
specific ambient temperatures (climate ranges). Do not use in ambient
temperatures for which it is not de
signed.
-
. . . in the freezer compartment
For freezing fresh food and storing
frozen food for a long time a tempera
ture of at least -18 °C is needed. At this
temperature the growth of micro organ
isms is generally halted. As soon as the
temperature rises to above -10 °C, the
micro organisms become active in the
food again so that it cannot be kept as
long. Partially defrosted or defrosted
food must not be re-frozen. Food may
be re-frozen once it has been cooked
as the high temperatures achieved
when cooking destroy most organisms.
Temperature selection
The temperatures for both the refrigerator section and the freezer compartment are set using the same temperture
selector.
^ Turn the temperature selector to a
setting between 1 and 7.
The higher the setting the lower the
temperature in the appliance. A middle
range setting is usually sufficient.
-
-
. . . in the refrigerator
We recommend a temperature of
5 °C in the middle of the appliance.
However, if frozen food is to be stored
in the freezer compartment then a set
ting between 4 and 7 is recommended
to ensure that the required temperature
in the freezer compartment is main
tained.
It is advisable to select a higher setting
(between 4 and 7) if the door is opened
frequently, large quantities of food are
stored in the refrigerator or there is a
high ambient temperature.
