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.

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. 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
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 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 up as quickly as possi
ble as food soon loses its 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.

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.

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 freezer
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. 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.
Temperature selection
The temperatures for the refrigerator
section and for the freezer section are
set independently from one another using the buttons to the right and left
hand sides of the temperature displays.
Press the
-
-
. . . in the refrigerator

ture of the refrigerator or freezer is auto
matically shown.
If you have adjusted the temperature,
wait for approx. 6 hours if the appliance is not very full and for approx.
24 hours if the appliance is full before
checking the temperature display as it
will take this long for the display to
show the accurate temperature of the
appliance. If, after this time, the temperature is too high or too low, you will
need to adjust it again.

Temperature range
The temperature can be adjusted:
in the refrigerator section from 2 °C
–
to 11 °C
in the freezer section from -16 °C to
–
-26 °C
The ambient temperature in the room
and the installation location can affect
the time it takes for the appliance to
reach the lowest temperture. If the am
bient temperature is too high, the appli
ance may not reach the lowest temper
ature.

Temperature displays
During normal operation the temperature display shows the temperature in
the middle of the refrigerator section
and the temperature in the warmest
part of the freezer section.
If the temperature in the appliance is
not within the range that the appliance
is able to display (i.e. if it is not between
0 °C and 19 °C in the refrigerator sec
tion, and if the temperature in the
freezer section is above 0 °C), only a
bar will light up in the temperature dis
plays.

It will take between 3 and 8 hours ap
proximately for the appliance to reach
the required temperature. The time it
takes will depend on where the appli
ance is located and the temperature
setting selected.
