Safety and warning  
information 
Before you switch ON the  
appliance
Please read the operating and  
installation instructions carefully! 
They contain important information on  
how to install, use and maintain the  
appliance. 
The manufacturer is not liable if you fail  
to comply with the instructions and  
warnings. Retain all documents for 
subsequent use or for the next owner.
Technical safety
This appliance contains a small quantity 
of environmentally-friendly but flammable  
R600a refrigerant. Ensure that the tubing  
of the refrigerant circuit is not damaged  
during transportation and installation. 
Leaking refrigerant may cause eye 
injuries or ignite. 
If damage has occurred
■Keep naked flames and/or ignition  
sources away from the appliance,
■thoroughly ventilate the room for  
several minutes,
■switch off the appliance and pull out  
the mains plug,
■inform customer service.
The more refrigerant an appliance  
contains, the larger the room must be in 
which the appliance is situated. Leaking 
refrigerant can form a flammable gas-air 
mixture in rooms which are too small.  
The room must be at least 1 m³ per 8 g  
of refrigerant. The amount of refrigerant 
in your appliance is indicated on the  
rating plate inside the appliance. If the power cord of this appliance is  
damaged, it must be replaced by the 
manufacturer, customer service or a  
similarly qualified person. Improper  
installations and repairs may put the user 
at considerable risk. 
Repairs may be performed by the  
manufacturer, customer service or a  
similarly qualified person only. 
Only original parts supplied by the  
manufacturer may be used. The 
manufacturer guarantees that only these 
parts satisfy the safety requirements. 
A extension cable may be purchased  
from customer service only.

Ventilation
Fig. 3
The air on the rear 
panel of the appliance heats up. 
Conduction of the heated air must  
not be obstructed. Otherwise,  
the refrigerating unit must work harder. 
This increases power consumption. 
Therefore: Never cover or block 
the ventilation openings!
Connecting  
the appliance
After installing the appliance, wait at least  
1 hour until the appliance is switched on. 
During transportation the oil in  
the compressor may have flowed into  
the refrigeration system. 
Before switching on the appliance for  
the first time, clean the interior of  
the appliance (see chapter “Cleaning 
the appliance”).
Electrical connection
The socket must be near the appliance 
and also freely accessible following  
installation of the appliance.  
The appliance complies with the  
protection class I. Connect the appliance  
to 220–240 V/50 Hz alternating current  
via a correctly installed socket with 
protective conductor. The socket must 
be fused with a 10 to 16 A fuse. 
For appliances operated in non- 
European countries, check whether the 
stated voltage and current type match 
the values of your mains supply match 
the values of the mains supply.  
This information can be found on  
the rating plate. Fig. ,

Operating tips
■When the appliance has been  
switched on, it may take several hours  
until the set temperature has been  
reached.
■The fully automatic No Frost system  
ensures that the freezer compartment  
remains free of ice. Defrosting is not 
required.
■The sides of the housing are  
sometimes heated slightly. 
This prevents condensation in 
the area of the door seal.
■If the freezer compartment door  
cannot be immediately re-opened after 
it has been closed, wait until the 
resulting low pressure has equalised.

Note when loading products
Freeze large quantities of food preferably  
in the very top compartment where food  
freezes particularly quickly and therefore  
also gently. Place the food over  
the whole area of the compartments 
or in the frozen food container. Food 
which is already frozen must not come 
into contact with the food which is to be  
frozen. If required, move the frozen food  
to the frozen food container. 
To ensure good air circulation in  
the appliance, insert the frozen food  
container all the way. 
Do not cover the ventilation slots on  
the rear panel with frozen food!
Freezing fresh food
Freeze fresh and undamaged food only. 
To retain the best possible nutritional  
value, flavour and colour, vegetables  
should be blanched before freezing. 
Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and  
asparagus do not require blanching. 
Literature on freezing and blanching  
can be found in bookshops. 
Note 
Keep food which is to be frozen away  
from food which is already frozen.
■The following foods are suitable for  
freezing:  
Cakes and pastries, fish and seafood,  
meat, game, poultry, vegetables, fruit,  
herbs, eggs without shells, dairy 
products such as cheese, butter and 
quark, ready meals and leftovers such 
as soups, stews, cooked meat and  
fish, potato dishes, soufflés and  
desserts.
■The following foods are not suitable  
for freezing: 
Types of vegetables, which are usually  
consumed raw, such as lettuce or  
radishes, eggs in shells, grapes,  
whole apples, pears and peaches, 
hard-boiled eggs, yoghurt, soured 
milk, sour cream, crème fraîche and 
mayonnaise.
