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.

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 compressor, you
might be able to hear the coolant flow
ing around the system. This is unavoid
able, but does not have any adverse ef
fect on the performance of the appliance.
Care must be taken during transportation and setting up of the appliance that
no parts of the coolant system are damaged. Leaking coolant can damage the

Warning and Safety instructions
Do not refreeze thawed or partially
thawed food. Defrosted food
should be used up as quickly as possi
ble as food soon loses it nutritional
value and goes off. Defrosted food may
only be re-frozen after it has been
cooked.
Do not store explosive materials in
the appliance or any products con
taining propellants (e.g. spray cans).
Switching on thermostats may produce
sparks which could present a fire haz
ard.
If storing alcohol with a high per
centage proof, 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. 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 tem
perature at which it is stored. Follow the
instructions given on food manufac
turer’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 caus
ing irreversible damage to the appli
ance.
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 plastic parts and which may cause the build
up of gases and pose a danger to
health.
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 store cooking oil in the appliance door. Traces of oil can
cause stress cracks to occur in the
plastic components in the door.
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
The appliance is designed for a
use within certain climate ranges
(ambient 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 temperature will lead to the ap
pliance switching off for longer periods
so that it cannot maintain the required
temperature.
Never use a steam-cleaning appli
ance to defrost or clean this appli
ance. 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 surrounding in a clean
condition at all times. Any damage
which may caused by cockroaches or
vermin will not be covered by the appli
ance guarantee.

Disposal of your old appliance
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.
The manufacturer cannot be held lia
ble for damage caused by non-com
pliance with these Warning and

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.
Important: To ensure correct func
tioning of the appliance, let it stand
for between ½ and 1 hour after
transporting it to its final location be
fore connecting it to the mains.
-
Switching on
The refrigerator section and the freezer
section are switched on independently
of one another so that if required only
the one section needs to be switched
on.
Refrigerator section
Freezer section
Using a coin turn the On/Off dial for
^
the freezer section in a clockwise di
rection away from the "0" position.
The alarm indicator light flashes. An
alarm sounds after a short while and
the appliance starts cooling.
Allow the freezer to run for a few hours
-
before placing food in it. This will en
sure that the temperature in the freezer
is sufficiently low.
Switching off the alarm
^ Press the alarm button.
The alarm stops. The indicator light re-
mains lit until the freezer temperature
which has been set is reached.

-
^
Using a coin turn the On/Off dial for
the refrigerator section in a clockwise
direction away from the "0" position.
Forcing it beyond its range would
damage it. Turn it only as far as it will
go, then turn it back again.
The indicator light for the refrigerator
section will come on. The appliance
starts cooling. The interior light will
come on if the door is opened.

Ice pack
(depending on model)
Place the ice pack in the top drawer or
to save space on the freezer tray. The
ice pack will be at its most effective af
ter it has been in the freezer for approx.
24 hours.
-
Switching off
Using a coin turn the On/Off dial in an
^
anti-clockwise direction back to the
"0" position.
The temperature display goes out. 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,
^ withdraw the plug (pull on the plug
and not the cable),
^ defrost the freezer section,
^ clean the appliance out and
^ leave the doors ajar to air the appli-
ance.
Operation
If, during a long absence, the appliance is switched off but not cleaned
out and the doors are 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 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.
-
. . . in the refrigerator
We recommend a temperature of 5 °C
in middle of the refrigerator section.
If you wish to check the temperature in
the refrigerator,
Please note the following
bathwater and other household ther
–
mometers are not very accurate. It is
best to use an electronic thermome
ter.
Do not measure the temperature of
–
the air in the appliance. The result
will not reflect the temperature in the
food.
Try to open the door as little as possible
during the measuring period, as warm
room air will enter the refrigerator every
time the door is opened.
. . . in the freezer
For freezing fresh food and storing
frozen food for a long time a temperature of at least -18 °C is needed. At this
temperature the growth of micro organisms 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. For this reason 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
micro organisms.
-
-
^
place a thermometer in a glass of wa
ter and then place the glass in the
middle of the refrigerator section.
After about 24 hours, the thermometer
will show the approximate temperature
in the refrigerator.
