Safety
The safety aspects of our refrigerators/freezers comply with accepted technical
standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. Nevertheless, we consider 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 coo-
ling, freezing and storing of frozen food, as well as for making ice. If the
appliance is used for purposes other than those intended or used incor-
rectly, 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 refrigerator in a commercial application or forpurposes
other than the cooling, freezing or frozen storage of foods,please obser-
ve all valid legal regulations for your application.
Prior to initial start–up
 Check the refrigerator for transport damage. Under no circumstance
should a damaged appliance be plugged in! In the event of damage, please
contact the vendor.
Refrigerant
The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained within the refrigerant circuit
of the appliance, a natural gas with a high level of environmental compa-
tibility, 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:
– 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!
 Please make old appliances unusable prior to disposal. Pull out the mains
plug, cut off the mains cable, break or remove spring or boltcatches, if fit-
ted. By doing this you ensure that children cannot lock themselves in the
fridge when playing (there is risk of suffocation!)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-
 
						

							33
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 temperatures.
There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flamma-
ble materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill car-
tridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.
 Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer compartment. 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 compartment. Exception: high alcohol content spirits can be
stored in the freezer compartment.
 Do not put ice creams or ice cubes in the mouth immediately after remo-
val from the freezer compartment. Very cold ice can freeze to the lips or
tongue and cause injury.
 Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze to the
food.
 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 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 the 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 engineers.
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 dumped 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 chlorofluo-
rocarbon.
 
						

							34
Remove transport safeguard
The appliance and the interior fittings are protected for transport.
 Remove all adhesive tape and packing pieces from the interior of the
appliance. 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. Remo-
ve plug from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any snap or
latch closures. This eliminates the danger that playing children lock them-
selves into 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, may 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
disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative con-
sequences for the environment and human health, which could
otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this pro-
duct. 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.

Climate classificationfor an ambient temperature of
SN+10 bis +32 °C
N+16 bis +32 °C
ST+18 bis +38 °C
T+18 bis +43 °C
If installation next to a source of heat is unavoidable, the following mini-
mum 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.
If the refrigeration appliance is installed next to another refrigerator or free-
zer a clearance of 5 cm at the sides is required, in order to prevent the for-
mation of condensation on the outside 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
therefore
– 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
climate classification: each climate classification:

Prior to Initial Start–Up
 Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial start-
up (see section: “Cleaning and Care”).
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 230 ... 240 V 50 Hz or
230 ... 240 V~ 50 Hz
(i.e. 230 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
separation of 3 mm).
Attention:The mains connection cable may only be replaced by a skilled
electrician. Please contact your dealer or our customer service department
for repairs.
Rehingeing the door
The side at which the door opens can not be changed.

temperature.
DESIRED temperature means:
The temperature that has been selected for inside the fridge or the freezer
compartment. The DESIRED temperature is indicated by flashing numbers.
ACTUAL temperature means:
The temperature display indicates the current temperature inside the fridge
or the freezer compartment. The ACTUAL temperature is indicated with illu-
minated numbers.
Temperature Displays
The temperature displays shows several types of information.
 In normal operation the average temperature in the fridge section is
displayed (ACTUAL temperature). The variations in temperature in the who-
le fridge section are small.
 In the freezer section the warmest temperature is displayed (ACTUAL tem-
perature). When fully filled, the warmest zone is normally located at the top
in the front area of the freezer section. Depending upon how the section is
filled, the temperatures are lower in other areas of the freezer section.
 When the temperature is being adjusted a flashing display indicates the
fridge or the freezer compartment temperature currently set (DESIRED tem-
perature).
