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.

liable for damage caused by improper
use of the appliance.
Technical safety
This appliance contains the coolant
Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas
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.

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.

Warning and safety instructions
The electrical safety of this appli
ance can only be guaranteed when
continuity is complete between the ap
pliance and an effective earthing sys
tem which complies with local and na
tional safety regulations. It is most im
portant that this basic safety require
ment is tested 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 per
sons.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous and the
manufacturer will not be held responsi
ble.
Ensure current is not supplied to
the appliance while maintenance
or repair work is being carried out.

Warning and safety instructions
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 sub
stances which could damage the plas
tic 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 (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.
Never use steam cleaning appara
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 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 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.

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 being
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 designed.
