Safety
The safety aspects of our refrigerators/freezers comply with accepted tech-
nical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. Nevertheless, we
consider it our obligation to make you aware of the following safety infor-
mation:
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
 
						

							5
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-
cerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Chil-
dren 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 Ser-
vice.

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 fol-
lows:
>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.
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 refu-
se.
 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 han-
ded over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical
and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of cor-
rectly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the
environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by
inappropriate waste handling of this product. For more detailed infor-
mation about recycling of this product, please contact your local city
office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you pur-
chased the product.

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:
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.
Remove transport safeguard
The appliance and the interior fittings are protected for transport.
 Pull off the adhesive tape on the left and right side of the door.
 Remove all adhesive tape and packing pieces from the interior of the
appliance.

From the plastic cover (E), which is
used to cover the hinge with the
pivot pin, you must take away the
part as indicated in the drawing.
This operation is made easer since
there is, in the internal part of the
cover hinge lid a groove that facila-
tes the removal of this coomponent.
“Remove the part marked with DX, if
the pivot pin is inserted in the right
hinge, SX in opposite case.”
