4 Safety The safety aspects of our refrigerators comply with accepted technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. Nevertheless, we con- sider it our obligation to make you aware of the following safety information: Intended use ¥ The freezer is intended for use in the home. It is suitable for the fre- ezing of fresh food and storing frozen food, as well as for making ice. If the appliance is used for purposes other than those intended or used incorrectly, no liability can be accepted by the manufacturer for any damage that may be caused. ¥ Alterations or changes to the freezer are not permitted for reasons of safety. ¥ If you use the freezer in a commercial application or for purposes other than the freezing or frozen storage of foods, the manufacturer accepts no liability for any damages which may occur. Prior to initial startÐup ¥ Check the appliance for transport damage. Under no circumstance should a damaged appliance be plugged in. In the event of damage, please contact your supplier. ¥ Ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable. Important:if the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by authorised service or qualified personnel using a special cable of the same type. Refrigerant The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained within the refrigerant circuit of the appliance, a natural gas with a high level of environmen- tal compatibility, which is nevertheless flammable. ¥ During transportation and installation of the appliance, be certain that none of the components of the refrigerant circuit become damaged. ¥ If the refrigerant circuit should become damaged: Ð avoid open flames and sources of ignition; Ð thoroughly ventilate the room in which the appliance is situated. Safety of children ¥ Packaging (e.g. wraps, polystyrene) can be dangerous for children. There is a risk of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from children!
5 Safety ¥ Please make old appliances unusable prior to disposal. Pull out the mains plug, cut off the mains cable, break or remove spring or bolt catches, if fitted. By doing this you ensure that children cannot lock themselves in the appliance when playing (there is risk of suffocati- on!) or get themselves into other dangerous situations. ¥ Often children cannot recognise the hazards present in household appliances. It is therefore important that you ensure adequate super- vision and never let children play with the appliance! Daily Operation ¥ Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low tempera- tures. There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flammable materials such as spray cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer. ¥ Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst when the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even explode! Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc. in the freezer. Exception: high alcohol content spirits can be stored in the freezer. ¥ Do not put ice creams or ice cubes in the mouth immediately after removal from the freezer. Very cold ice can freeze to the lips or ton- gue and cause injury. ¥ Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could stick to the food causing skin abrasions. ¥ Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigerator/freezer (e.g. electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.). ¥ Before cleaning the appliance, always switch off the appliance and unplug it, or disconnect from the electricity supply. ¥ When unplugging always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable. In case of malfunction ¥ If a malfunction occurs on the appliance, please look first in the What to do if ... section of these instructions. If the information given there does not help, please do not perform any further repairs yourself. ¥ Refrigerators/freezers may only be repaired by qualified service engi- neers. Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact your specialist dealer or our Customer Service.
6 Disposal Appliance Packaging Information All materials are environmentally sound! They can be disposed of or burned at an incinerating plant without danger. About the materials: The plastics can be recycled and are identified as follows: >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. the outer covering and the bags in the interior. >PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g. the pads, which are all free of chloro- fluorocarbon. The carton parts are made from recycled paper and should be disposed of at a waste-paper recycling collection location. Disposal of old Appliances For environmental reasons, refrigeration appliances must be disposed of properly. This applies to your old appliance, and - at the end of its service life - for your new appliance as well. Warning!Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable. Remove plug from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any snap or latch closures. This ensures that playing children do not lock themselves inside the appliance (danger of suffocation!) or place themselves into other life-endangering situations. Disposal: ¥ The appliance may not be disposed of with domestic waste or bulky refuse. ¥ The refrigerant circuit, especially the heat exchanger at the back of the appliance, must not be damaged. ¥ Information concerning collection schedules or locations can be obtained from your local Council or Environmental Health Office. Remove transport packaging The appliance and the interior fittings are protected for transport. +1.Pull off the adhesive tape on the left and right side of the door. 2.Remove all adhesive tape and packing pieces from the interior of the appliance.
7 Installation Installation Location The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room. Energy use and efficient performance of the appliance is affected by the ambient temperature. The appliance should therefore Ð not be exposed to direct sunlight; Ð not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat; Ð only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature corresponds to the climate classification, for which the appliance is designed. The climate classification can be found on the rating plate, which is located at the left on the inside of the appliance. The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each climate classification: Installation directly under a hob is not allowed. The temperatures of the hob, which in part are quite high, may damage the appliance. If a hob is installed near the appliance, the corresponding installation and safety instructions must be adhered to. Considering the numerous installation conditions which are possible, there is no way of providing detailed information here. It is necessary to avoid overheating of the refrigerator by maintaining adequate distances from heat sources and by the use of a suitable thermal insulation plate. Proper ventilation of the appliance must also be ensured. Climate classificationfor an ambient temperature of SN+10 to +32 ¡C N+16 to +32 ¡C ST+18 to +38 ¡C T+18 to +43 ¡C
8Installation Electrical connection A correctly installed, earthed socket is required for the electrical sup- ply. The supply must have a fuse rating of at least 10 Amps. If the socket is not accessible once the appliance is built in, the electrical installation must include suitable means of isolating the appliance from the mains (e.g. a fused spur). Before initial start-up, refer to the appliance rating plate to ascertain if supply voltage and current values correspond with those of the mains at the installation location. e.g.: AC 220 ... 240 V 50 Hz or 220 ... 240 V ~50 Hz (i.e. 220 to 240 volts alternating current, 50 Hertz) The rating plate is inside the appliance on the left. The mains cable may only be changed by a qualified electrician or competent person. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact your local Customer Care Department. + Building-in See installation instructions supplied. Please check whether, after installing your appliance and especially after rehingeing the door, the door seal seals right round. An untight door seal may lead to heavy frosting and thereby to a higher power consumption (see also ãWhat to do if...Ò).

10 Prior to Initial StartÐUp +1.Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial start-up (see section: ÒCleaning and CareÓ). 2.Remove the ice packs from the appliance. 3.Only put the ice packs to freeze in the top drawer after the optimum storage temperature of Ð18¡C has been reached. 4.Re-freeze thawed ice packs in the same way, e. g. after cleaning the appliance. Ice packs There are two ice packs in one drawer of the freezer. Refer to the section ÒPrior to Initial StartÐUpÓ concerning freezing of the ice packs. In the event of a power failure or malfunction, the ice packs will lengthen the amount of time it takes for the frozen food to defrost by several hours. The ice packs can only fulfil this task if they are placed in the upper- most drawer, at the front, above the frozen food. You can use the ice packs for cooling cold bags.
