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 refrigerator is intended for use in the home. It is suitable for the
storing of food at low temperature. If the appliance is used for pur-
poses 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 refrigerator are not permitted for rea-
sons of safety.
 If you use the refrigerator in a commercial application or for purpos-
es other than the cooling of foods, the manufacturer accepts no lia-
bility for any damages which may occur.
Prior to initial start–up
 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 cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons
in order to avoid a hazard.
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.
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.
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 suffoca-
tion!) or get themselves into other dangerous situations.
 This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction con-
cerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. 
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not 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 and/or freezer.
Warning - Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigera-
tor and/or freezer (e.g. electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.).
Warning- In order not to impair the function of the appliance,
never cover or obstruct the ventilation openings.
Warning- Do not damage the cooling circuit.
 Before cleaning the appliance, always switch off the appliance and
unplug it, or pull the house fuse or switch off the circuit breaker.
 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.

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.
 The symbol  on the product or on its packaging indicates that
this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall
be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of
electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is dis-
posed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative conse-
quences for the environment and human health, which could other-
wise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this product. For
more detailed information about recycling of this product, please
contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service
or the shop where you purchased the product.

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.
Installation
Installation Location
The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room.
Energy use is affected by the ambient temperature. The appliance should the-
refore
– not be exposed to direct sunlight;
– not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat;
– 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 serial plate, which is located at
the left on the inside of the appliance.
The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each cli-
mate classification: each climate classification:
Climate classificationfor an ambient temperature of
SN+10 bis +32 °C
N+16 bis +32 °C
ST+16 bis +38 °C
T+16 bis +43 °C
If installation next to a source of heat is unavoidable, the following minimum
clearances must be maintained at the sides of the appliance:
– for electric cookers 3 cm;
– for oil and coal fired ranges 30 cm.
If these clearances cannot be maintained a heat insulating pad is required
between the cooker and the refrigeration appliance.
 
						

							Prior to Initial Start–Up
Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial
start-up (see section: “Cleaning and Care”).
Standby time
The oil for automatic lubrication contained in the compressor may
flow into the refrigeration circuit if the appliance is transported in an
inclined position. To allow the oil to flow back into the compressor,
wait approximately 2 hours before placing the appliance in operation.

8
Electrical connection
Before initial start-up, refer to the appliance rating plate to ascertain if sup-
ply 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.
A correctly installed, earthed socket is required for the electrical supply. 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. fuse, cut-out, current trip or similar with a minimum contact sepa-
ration of 3 mm).
Attention: The mains connection cable may only be replaced by a skilled elec-
trician. Please contact your dealer or our customer service department for
repairs.
