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 storing of food, at low temperature. If the appliance is used for purposes 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 reasons of safety.
• If you use the refrigerator in a commercial application or for purposes other than the cooling of foods, please observe all valid legal regulations for your application.

Prior to initial start-up

- Check the freezer 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 compatibility, 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 bolt catches, if fitted. 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.
• Often children cannot recognise the hazards present in household appliances. It is therefore important that you ensure adequate supervision and never let children 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 flammable materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.
• 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 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 eliminates the danger that playing children lock themselves 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.
  • Information concerning collection schedules or locations can be obtained from the local disposal authorities or town hall.

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.

You can remove any remnants of adhesive using white spirit.

Remove all adhesive tape and packing pieces from the interior of the appliance.

On the inside of the door, remove the protection from the seal.

Remove the transport protection pieces from the rails and pull off the adhesive tape.

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:

Climate classification	for an ambient temperature of
SN	+10 to +32 °C
N	+16 to +32 °C
ST	+18 to +38 °C
T	+18 to +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.

If the refrigeration appliance is installed next to another refrigerator or freezer a clearance of 5 cm at the sides is required, in order to prevent the formation of condensation on the outside of the appliance.

Installation

See installation instructions supplied.

Please check whether, after installing your appliance and especially after rehingeing the door, the door seal seals right round. An untight door seal may lead to heavy frosting and thereby to a higher power consumption (see also "What to do if...").

Power supply

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).

Before initial start-up, refer to the appliance serial plate to ascertain if supply 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.

The mains cable may only be changed by a qualified electrician. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact our Customer Service.

Prior to Initial Start-Up

Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial start-up (see section: "Cleaning and Care").

Initial use

Important! Only use the appliance when built-in!

Plug the mains plug into the mains socket. When the door is opened the interior lighting comes on.

1 2

1 Light switch
2 Temperature regulator and ON/OFF switch

The temperature regulator is also the ON/OFF switch.

The large oval switch beside the temperature regulator is the light switch. When the door is opened and closed, the light switch switches the interior lighting on and off.

A coin in needed to turn the temperature regulator. This makes it is more difficult to change the temperature setting accidentally (child protection).

The temperature regulator setting shown means: Refrigeration off.

Turn in the direction of "1":

Refrigeration on, the compressor starts and then runs automatically. The green pilot light illuminates.

Position "1" means:

Highest interior temperature (warmest setting)

Position "4" means:

Lowest interior temperature (coldest setting)

The following effects are of significance in respect of the interior temperature:

• Ambient temperature;
• Quantity and temperature of the food stored;
• Frequency with which the door is opened and how long it is left open.

The following temperature settings can therefore only be considered as recommendations that may well need to be adapted to suit your particular situation.

Recommended settings:

For normal use: position "1" to "2";

For lower temperatures: position "2' to "3".

Turn the temperature regulator to the desired setting with the aid of a coin.

The compressor starts and then runs automatically.

Important!

High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting on the temperature regulator (position "3" to "4") can cause the compressor to run continuously.

Reason: when the ambient temperature is high, the compressor must run continuously to maintain the low temperature in the appliance. The fridge will not be able to defrost since automatic defrosting of the fridge is only possible when the compressor is not running (see also "Defrosting" section). The result is the build up of a thick layer of frost on the fridge rear wall.

If this happens, turn the temperature regulator back to a warmer setting (position "2" to "3"). At this setting the compressor will be switched on and off as usual and automatic defrosting will recommence.

Switching off the appliance, holiday switch

To switch off the appliance, turn the temperature regulator to position "0".

If the door is to left open for an extended period, switch off the interior lighting by pulling out the oval light switch (holiday switch).

The light switch is pressed in again as soon as the door is closed. The next time the door is opened, the interior lighting is switched on by the light switch as normal.

If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period:

Switch off the appliance by turning the temperature regulator to position "0".

Remove the mains plug or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.

Leave the door open to avoid the build up of odours.

Interior Accessories

Storage shelves

Your appliance is equipped with two full size and two half size glass storage shelves.

If possible, please slide one of the full size glass storage shelf into the lowest set of guides, above the vegetable basket and the serving tray.

The height of the storage shelves can be adjusted:

To do this pull the storage shelf forward until it can be swivelled upwards or downwards and removed.
Please do the same in reverse to insert the shelf at a different height.

Storing tall items:

Slide the half size glass storage shelf in the upper or middle level to the rear. By this means you will gain space to place tall items on the storage shelf below.

Correct Storage

For physical reasons, there are different temperature regions in the fridge. The coldest region is on the lowest storage shelf. Warmer regions are the top storage shelf, the vegetable basket and the storage compartments on the door.

Tip: Food in the fridge should always be covered or packaged, to prevent drying and tainting of other food.

The following are suited for packaging:

- Polyethylene airtight bags and wraps;

- Plastic containers with lids;

- Special plastic covers with elastic;

- aluminium foil.

Defrosting

The fridge defrosts automatically

The rear wall of the fridge covers with frost when the compressor is running, and defrosts when the compressor is off.

The water from the thawing frost is collected in the drain channel on the rear of the fridge, feed through the drain hole into the collection compartment in the base, and then evaporated.

Cleaning and Care

For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly.

Warning!

• The appliance may not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.
• Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in electrical components, danger of electrical shock! Hot vapours can lead to the damage of plastic parts.
• The appliance must be dry before it is placed back into service.

Attention!

• Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g.
• lemon juice or the juice from orange peals;
• butyric acid;
• cleansers which contain acetic acid.
  Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance parts.
• Do not use any abrasive cleansers.

Remove the food from the refrigerator. Store it in a cool place, well covered.

Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.

Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water. Commercially available dish washing detergents may also be used.

After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry.

Check the water drain hole on the rear wall of the fridge. Clear a bloked drain hole with the aid of a piece of wire.

After everything is dry place appliance back into service.

Energy Saving Tips

• Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources of warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent operation of the compressor.
• Ensure sufficient air circulation and exhaust at the appliance base and at the back wall of the appliance. Never cover air vent openings.
• Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool first.
• Only leave door open as long as necessary.
• Do not set temperature any colder than necessary.

Regulations, Standards, Guidelines

This appliance was designed for household use and was manufactured in accordance with the appropriate standards. The necessary measures in accordance with appliance safety legislation regulations (GSG), accident prevention regulations for refrigeration appliances (VBG 20) and the regulations of the German Society of Electrical Engineers (VDE) were observed in the manufacture of this appliance. The refrigerant circuit has been checked for leaks.

CE This appliance is in accordance with the following EU guidelines: - 73/23/EWG dated 19 February 1973 - low voltage guidelines. - 89/336/EWG dated 3 May 1989 (including guideline change notice 92/31/EWG) - EMV guideline

Technical Terminology

• Refrigerant Liquids that can be used to a generate a cooling effect are known as refrigerants. They have a relatively low boiling-point, indeed so low, that the warmth from the food stored in the fridge or freezer can cause the refrigerant to boil and vaporise.

- Refrigerant Circuit Closed circulation system that contains the refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit comprises primarily of an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser and pipe work.

- Evaporator The refrigerant is evaporated in the evaporator. Similar to all other liquids, refrigerant requires heat to evaporate. This heat is removed from the interior of the appliance, as a result the interior is cooled. The evaporator is therefore located inside the appliance or placed in foam immediately behind the inner wall and thus not visible.

- Compressor The compressor looks like a small drum. It is driven by a built-in electric motor and is mounted on the base of the appliance at the rear. The task of the compressor is to draw in vaporised refrigerant from the evaporator, to compress it, and to pass it on to the condenser.

- Condenser The condenser normally has the form of a grid. The refrigerant compressed in the compressor is liquefied in the condenser. During this process, heat is released to the surrounding air at the surface of the condenser. The condenser is mounted on the base of the appliance.
