Preparations

CAUTION

Maintenance

Remove all the packing materials and tapes. Wipe the inside of the refrigerator using a soft cloth which has been dipped in lukewarm water and then wrung out. Wash and completely dry the icebox before installing it. (Do not use a dish dryer, hair dryer or other appliance when drying.)

Connecting the power plug to the power outlet

When the power plug is connected to the power outlet, the temperature display starts ashing as shown in the gure

on the right, and cooling starts inside the refrigerator. The temperatures displayed at this time are not the actual temperatures.

When the temperature of the fridge reaches 8 °C, the freezer reaches -12 °C and the Vitamin-Safe Zone reaches

5 °C, the temperature display stops ashing and lights, and it shows the actual temperature.

It takes about half a day to reach the set temperatures (when the room temperature is around 32 °C, there is no food inside the refrigerator, and the doors are closed).

Place the food inside the refrigerator only after it was conrmed that the refrigerator compartment had been cooled.

Notes:

● Cooling may take longer in the summer months or at other times when the room temperature is higher.

● While the temperature display is ashing, the alarm sounds to warn that the temperature has risen. The alarm can be turned off by pressing

● If you need to unplug the refrigerator, wait at least 10 minutes before you plug it back in again. You might damage the compressor.

The Ice/Water dispenser and automatic ice maker

Ice must rst be made by the automatic ice maker before the Ice/Water dispenser can start dispensing ice. The automatic ice maker can

make six cubes of ice at a time and about 42 cubes of ice a day (although this will differ depending on the prevailing conditions).

When using the ice maker for the rst time, it takes about 8 hours for ice to be made.

Automatic ice-making stops as soon as the icebox becomes full.

Note:

● When using the Ice/Water dispenser and automatic ice maker for the rst time, the water or ice may be discoloured or smell: this is normal and not indicative of any trouble. When water goes around through the water lter and pipes and other parts inside the

refrigerator, these symptoms will disappear so keep supplying the water and removing the ice from Ice/Water dispenser until the discolouration/smell dissipates. In some homes, this procedure may have to be repeated a number of times.

Deutsch

Versuchen Sie nicht, den Kühlschrank selbst zu zerlegen, zu reparieren oder zu modizieren.

●Sie könnten sich selbst oder andere mit Verbrennungen oder elektrischen Schlägen verletzen oder den Kühlschrank beschädigen. Falls Ihr Gerät Änderungen oder Reparaturen benötigt, konsultieren Sie bitte ein autorisiertes Kundenzentrum.

Vergewissern Sie sich, dass der Kühlschrank an eine geerdete Netzsteckdose

angeschlossen ist. NICHT an eine nicht geerdete Netzsteckdose anschließen.

Die Steckerstifte vor dem Anschließen an die Stromversorgung von Schmutz oder Staub säubern.

●Staubablagerungen auf dem Stecker können, besonders bei feuchten Bedingungen, einen Isolationsausfall verursachen. Dies kann zu einem Kurzschluss, Brand oder elektrischen Schlag führen. Ziehen Sie das Netzkabel ab, und wischen Sie es mit einem trockenen Tuch ab. Verwenden Sie keinesfalls ein nasses oder feuchtes Tuch.

Das Gerät so an die Steckdose anschließen, dass einwandfreier Anschluss gewährleistet ist.

●Ein lockerer Netzstecker kann einen Brand oder elektrischen Schlag verursachen.

Den Kühlschrank in gut belüfteter Umgebung installieren.

●Je mehr Kältemittel in einem Gerät vorhanden ist, desto größer sollte der Aufstellungsraum sein. Sollte Kältemittel auslaufen, wenn sich das Gerät in einem

kleinen Raum bendet, ist die Entstehung von brennbaren Gasen wahrscheinlicher.

Dies kann einen Brand oder eine Explosion verursachen. Als Richtlinie wird für jeweils 8 g Kältemittel mindestens 1 m³ Raum benötigt. Das Datenschild im Inneren des Geräts gibt an, wie viel Kältemittel Ihr Kühlschrank enthält.

Vor der Reinigung und Wartung den Netzstecker des Kühlschranks abziehen.

●Nichtbeachtung kann zu einem elektrischen Schlag führen.

Falls Sie einen Brandgeruch feststellen oder Rauch aus dem Kühlschrank

kommen sehen, ziehen Sie sofort das Netzkabel ab, und konsultieren Sie bitte ein autorisiertes Kundenzentrum.

●Dies kann Verletzungen oder Probleme verursachen.

Vermeiden Sie bei einem Stromausfall häuges Öffnen des Kühlschranks oder das Einlagern nicht gekühlter Lebensmittel.

●Dies kann zu einem Anstieg der Temperatur im Kühlschrank und zu Verderben der eingelagerten Lebensmittel führen.

Wenn Sie beabsichtigen, den Kühlschrank längere Zeit

nicht zu benutzen, trennen Sie ihn vom Stromnetz. Achten Sie auch auf den Spalt zwischen der

Kühlraum- und Gefrierraumtür, besonders, wenn

beide gleichzeitig offen sind.

●Dies kann Verletzungen verursachen.

Potentieller Klemmpunkt

Auswahl des geeigneten Standorts

Installieren Sie den Kühlschrank an einem Ort, der die folgenden Kriterien erfüllt:

● an einem Ort, in dessen Nähe sich eine Hauptwasserversorgungsleitung bendet

● an einem Ort, wo der Kühlschrank keinem direkten Sonnenlicht ausgesetzt ist

● an einem Ort, wo der Kühlschrank ausreichenden Abstand von Heizkörpern, Kochplatten und anderen Wärmequellen hat

● an einem gut belüfteten und trockenen Ort

● an einem Ort mit stabilem und ebenem Boden

Legen Sie eine feste Platte unter, falls der Kühlschrank auf einem Teppich- oder Vinylboden installiert werden soll. Die Platte verhindert Verformung und Verfärbung des Bodens.

Genügend Abstand für Wärmeableitung einhalten

Der Kühlschrank gibt während des Betriebs ständig Nachwärme ab. Halten Sie ausreichenden Abstand um den Kühlschrank ein, damit diese Wärme abgeleitet werden kann und die Kühlleistung des Kühlschranks nicht beeinträchtigt wird.
