The quantity and type of the refrigerant used in your appliance is indicated on the rating plate.

Standard EN378 specifies that the room in which you install your appliance must have a volume of 1 m^3 per 8 g of hydrocarbon refrigerant used in the appliances. This is to avoid the formation of flammable gas/air mixtures in the room where the appliance is located in the event of a leak in the refrigerant circuit.

WARNING:

Keep ventilation openings in the appliance's cabinet or in the built-in structure clear of obstruction

WARNING:

Do not use other mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process than those recommended by the manufacturer

WARNING:

Do not damage the refrigerant system

WARNING:

Do not use electrical appliances inside the refrigerated storage compartment, unless they are of a type recommended by the manufacturer

WARNING:

Do not expose the appliance to rain

WARNING:

Fault finding

Fault Possible cause	Remedy
The unit does not work	The appliance is switched off.Power failure; the fuse is blown; the appliance is not plugged in correctly.	Press the on/off switch.Check that power is connected. Reset the fuse.
Water collects in the bottom of the cabinet.	The defrost water pipe is blocked.	Clean the defrost water channel and the drain hole on the rear wall of the cabinet.
Vibration or bothersome noise.	The appliance is not level.The appliance is resting against other kitchen elements.Containers or bottles inside the cabinet are rattling against one another.	Level the appliance using a spirit level.Move the appliance away from the kitchen elements or appliances it is in contact with.Move containers and/or bottles apart.
Compressor runs continuously.	High room temperature. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Defrosting, cleaning and maintenance

Automatic defrosting.

The unit is defrosted automatically. Defrost water runs through a pipe and is collected in a tray above the compressor where the heat generated by the compressor causes it to evaporate. The defrost water tray should be cleaned at intervals.

Cleaning.

Before cleaning the appliance, unplug it from the main supply. The cabinet is best cleaned using warm water (max. 65°C) with a little mild detergent. Never use cleaning agents that scour. Use a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.

The defrost water channel, in which condensation from the evaporator runs, is located at the bottom of the rear inside wall of the cabinet and must be kept clean. Add a few drops of disinfectant, e.g. Rodalon, to the defrost water drain a couple of times a year, and clean the drain using a pipe cleaner or similar. Never use sharp or pointed implements.

The sealing strip around the door must be cleaned regularly to prevent discolouration and prolong service life. Use clean water. After cleaning the sealing strip, check that it continues to provide a tight seal.

Dust collecting on the condenser on the rear of the cabinet, the compressor and in the compressor compartment is best removed using a vacuum cleaner.
