Caring for the environment
Disposal of packing material
The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled.
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!
Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure that they are recycled.
Disposal of your old appliance
Old appliances contain materials which can be reclaimed or recycled. Please contact your dealer, your local waste collection centre or scrap merchant about potential recycling schemes.
Take care not to damage the pipework at the back of the appliance before or during transportation to an authorised collection depot. In this way, refrigerant in the pipework and oil in the compressor will be contained, and will not leak out into the environment.
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 installation, safety, 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 operating instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future user.
Correct use
This appliance is intended for
domestic use only for storing wine as well as for storing deep frozen food, 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 environmentally friendly. Although it is flammable, it does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect. The use of this environmentally 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 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
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 present and regularly tested 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 may only be used
in mobile installations such as ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage due to a faulty
connection to the mains water supply.
Connection to the mains water
supply and any repairs to the ice cube maker must only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person.
The ice cube maker is not suitable
for connection to a hot water supply.
Before making plumbing
connections, ensure the appliance is disconnected from the mains electricity supply.
The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply when:
– it has been switched off at the wall
socket and the plug removed,
– the fuse from the fused spur
connection unit 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).
Installation work, maintenance and
repairs may only be carried out by suitably qualified and competent persons to ensure safety. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and the manufacturer will not be held liable.

Warning and Safety instructions
Use
Never handle frozen food with wet
hands. Your hands may freeze to the frozen food. Danger of injury.
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.
Do not refreeze thawed or partially
thawed food. Defrosted food should be used up 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.
Do not store explosive materials in
the appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Thermostats switching on may produce sparks which could present a fire hazard.
If storing alcohol with a high
percentage proof, make sure it is tightly closed and stored upright. Danger of explosion.
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 oils or grease on
the door seals as these will cause the seals to deteriorate and become porous with time.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
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
