food, as well as for making ice-cubes.

 The unit is classified as Climate Class ‘N’ (normal). This appliance is intended for domestic or

similar applications, such as in

- shops, offices and other similar working environments,

- agricultural areas,

- hotels, motels etc. and similar establishments,

Important safety instructions

 To prevent the risk of personal injury or damage to the freezer, the unit must only be transported

while in its original packaging.

 This appliance is not intended for use by any persons (including children) with reduced physical,

safety.
 Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
 Caution: Keep any packaging materials well away from children: there is a risk of suffocation.
 The cooling circuit in this appliance contains the refrigerant isobutane

(R600a), a natural gas with a high level of environmental compatibility,

which is nevertheless flammable. Ensure, therefore, that none of the

components of the refrigerant circuit become damaged during

transportation and installation of the appliance. If damage to the cooling

circuit does occur, do not switch on or connect the appliance to the mains

power. If there should be an open fire or any other sources of ignition in the vicinity of the

refrigerant gas, make sure it is removed immediately from the area and that the room is then

thoroughly ventilated.
 Warning: Do not damage the cooling circuit. Any escaping refrigerant causes damage to the

eyes; there is also a danger of the gas igniting.
 Warning: Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure,

clear of obstruction. Sufficient ventilation must be ensured at all times.
 Warning: Do n ot use any external device (e.g. heaters or heating fans) to accelerate de-frosting;

follow only the methods recommended in this manual.
 The ice removed from the unit during de-frosting is not suitable for human consumption.
 Warning: D o not operate any other electrical appliances (e.g. ice makers) inside the freezer.
 Before it is connected to the mains power, the unit must be thoroughly checked for transport

damage, including its power cord. In the event of any such damage being found, the appliance

must not be connected to the mains.
 The power cord should be regularly examined for any signs of damage. In the event of such

damage being found, the appliance must no longer be used.
 To avoid the risk of fire, do not place any thermo-electric appliances on top of the unit. Do not

place liquid containers on top of the unit, to prevent any leaking or escaping liquid damaging the

electrical insulation.
 This unit is designed for storing food only.
 Alcoholic substances may be stored only in properly sealed containers and in an upright

position.
 This appliance is not designed for the storage of explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a

flammable propellant.
 To avoid the risk of food poisoning, do not consume food after its storage time has expired.

Thawed foods must not be frozen a second time.
 Do not lean or put undue weight on the shelves, compartments, door etc.
 Protect the inside of the freezer at all times from open flames and any other sources of ignition.
 Do not store any glass bottles containing carbonated or other freezable liquids in the unit: such

bottles may burst during the freezing process.
 Remove the plug from the wall socket

- in case of any malfunction,

- before de-frosting,

- during cleaning,

- before maintenance or repair work is carried out.

 When removing the plug from the wall socket, never pull on the power cord; always grip the

plug itself.
 In order to comply with safety regulations and to avoid hazards, any repairs or modifications to

this unit must be carried out by our authorised service personnel, including the replacement of

the power cord.
