1 Important Safety Instructions
The safety of our appliances is in accordance with recognised techno-
logical standards and appliance safety legislation. We nevertheless feel 
that it is important to acquaint you with the following safety guidelines:
Use for Intended Purpose
 The appliance is intended for use at home. Depending on the preset 
operation mode, this appliance becomes suitable for cooling, 
freezing, for frozen storage of foods or for ice preparation. The 
manufacturer assumes no liability for damages occurring through 
improper operation or use of the appliance for unintended purposes.
 Alterations or changes to the appliance are not permitted for reasons 
of safety.
 If you should use this appliance in a commercial application or for 
purposes other than cooling, freezing, or frozen storage of foods, 
please observe all valid legal regulations for your application.
Prior to initial start-up
 Check the appliance for transport damage. Do not under any 
circumstances connect a damaged appliance! Please contact your 
supplier in the event of damage.
 Make sure that the power plug is not squashed or damaged by the 
back of the appliance. A damaged power plug may overheat and 
cause a fire.
 If the power plug socket is loose, do not insert the power plug. There 
is a risk of electric shock or fire. 
Refrigerant
The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained within the refrigerant 
circuit of the appliance, a natural gas with a high level of 
environmental compatibility, which is nevertheless flammable.
Warning - 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:
– avoid open flames and sources of ignition;
– thoroughly ventilate the room in which the appliance is situated.
 
						

							Important Safety Instructions
54818 34 51-00/7
Safety for Children
 Packaging materials (e.g. films, styrofoam) can be dangerous for 
children. Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging materials away from 
children!
 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 eliminates the danger that playing children lock 
themselves into the appliance (danger of suffocation!) or place 
themselves into other life-endangering situations.
 Children often do not recognise the dangers involved with household 
appliances. Please provide for the necessary supervision and do not 
allow children to play with the appliance!
Daily Operation
 Containers with flammable gases or fluids can develop leaks through 
contact with the cold. Danger of explosion! Do not store containers 
with flammable substances, such as aerosol cans, refill cartridges for 
cigarette lighters etc. in the appliance.
 Bottles and cans may not be placed in the freezer compartment. They 
can burst when the contents freeze - or even explode if the contents 
contain carbonic acid! Never place sodas, juices, beer, wine, 
champagne etc. into the freezer compartment. Exception: Spirits with 
high alcohol content may be stored in the freezer compartment.
 Do not place ice cream or ice cubes directly from the freezer 
compartment into the mouth. Very cold ice can freeze to the lips or 
tongue and cause injury.
 Never touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the 
goods.
Warning - Do not operate any electrical appliances in the appliance 
(e.g. electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.).
Warning - Do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings as this 
will impair the operation of the appliance.
Warning - Do not use any mechanical devices or other artificial 
means to speed up defrosting unless they are recommended by the 
manufacturer.
 Before cleaning the appliance switch off and remove the plug from 
the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.
 Placing frozen goods on the top of the appliance can lead to the 
accumulation of condensation on the top panel through contact with 
the cold. Electronic components are housed within this top panel. If 
 
						

							818 34 51-00/755
water should drip onto these components, the appliance could be 
damaged by a short circuit. For this reason do not place frozen goods 
on top of the appliance.
 Do not remove the power cord by pulling on its lead, particularly 
when the appliance is being pulled out of its niche. Damage to the 
cord may cause a short circuit, fire and/or electric shock.
 Do not place heavy articles or the appliance itself on the power cord. 
There is a risk of a short circuit and fire. 
 If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a certified 
service agent or qualified personnel.
In case of malfunction
 If a malfunction should occur at the appliance, refer first to the 
section What to do if ... in these operating instruction. If the 
instructions in this section are not sufficient, do not undertake any 
further work on your own.
 Refrigerators or feezers may only be repaired by trained personnel. 
Repairs carried out by untrained personnel can lead to substantial 
danger. Please contact your dealer or our customer service 
department for repairs. 
Environmental Information
Packaging 
All transit packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can 
be reused. Wood is un-treated. 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 pure hydrocarbon 
compounds and can be recycled.
The carton parts are made from recycled paper. Please dispose of the 
packaging with due care for the environment.

Old Appliances
When disposing of your old appliance:
 Make the appliance unusable by cutting off the cable and remove 
any door catches to ensure small children cannot be trapped inside.
 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, may not be damaged.
Help to keep your country tidy - use an authorised disposal site.
Appliance Transport
Two persons are required for transport of the appliance. There are two 
recessed handles at the front of the base and at the back of the 
appliance at the top for improved gripping.
0 1.Grip the appliance with the recessed handles positioned as in the draw-
ing, and transport the appliance.
2.In order to push the appliance into its final position, press carefully at 
the top of the door and tip the appliance back slightly. The weight is 
thus transferred to the back wheels and the appliance can be easily 
pushed.

Before Use 
Packaging 
0 1.Remove all adhesive tape and packaging  from the interior of the appli-
ance.
3 Any remnants of adhesive can be removed with white spirit.
2.Remove the transport protection pieces and pull off the adhesive tape.
3.Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water with a little 
bicarbonate of soda added (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap 
or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry the appliance thoroughly.
 
						

							58818 34 51-00/7
Remove the transport fittings from 
the storage shelves:
4.Slide the fittings securing the shelf 
forward to the thicker section on 
the edge of the storage shelf.
5.Slide the storage shelf far enough 
forward so that it can be hinged 
downwards and the fittings can be 
removed from the guides.
