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

The appliance contains a small quantity of environmentally friendly but flammable refrigerant R600a. 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 m^3 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.

Installing the appliance

Have a technician install and connect the appliance according to the enclosed installation instructions.

Transporting

The appliance is heavy. Secure in position during transportation and installation.

Due to the weight/dimensions of the appliance and to minimise the risk of injury and damage to the appliance at least two persons are necessary to set-up the appliance safely.

Installation location

A dry, well ventilated room is suitable as an installation location. The installation location should not be exposed to direct sunlight and not placed near a heat source, e.g. a cooker, radiator, etc. If installation next to a heat source is unavoidable, use a suitable insulating plate or observe the following minimum distances from the heat source:

  • 3 cm to electric or gas cookers.
  • 30 cm to an oil or coal-fired cooker.

The floor of the installation location must not give way; if required, reinforce floor.

Ambient temperature and ventilation

Ambient temperature

The climate class can be found on the rating plate. The climate class indicates within which ambient temperatures the appliance can be operated.

Climate classPermitted ambient temperature
SN +10 °C to 32 °C
N +16 °C to 32 °C
ST +16 °C to 38 °C
T +16 °C to 43 °C

Note

The appliance is fully functional within the room temperature limits of the indicated climatic class. If an appliance of climatic class SN is operated at colder room temperatures, the appliance will not be damaged up to a temperature of +5 °C.

Ventilation

Conduction of the heated air must not be obstructed. Otherwise, the refrigeration unit must work harder. This increases power consumption. Therefore: Never cover or block the ventilation opening!

Connecting the appliance

Have a technician install and connect the appliance according to the enclosed installation instructions.

Do not remove the transportation protection devices from the shelves and storage compartments until the appliance has been installed.

In addition to the statutory national regulations, observe the connection conditions of the local power supply companies.

After installing the appliance, wait at least 1 hour until the appliance starts up. 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 on the rating plate match the values of your mains supply. These specifications can be found on the rating plate (see chapter "Customer service").

Warning

Never connect the appliance to electronic energy saver plugs. Our appliances can be used with mains and sine-controlled inverters. Mains-controlled inverters are used for photovoltaic systems which are connected directly to the national grid. Sine-controlled inverters must be used for isolated applications (e.g. on ships or in mountain lodges) which are not connected directly to the national grid.

Refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator compartment is the ideal storage location for ready meals, cakes and pastries, preserved food, condensed milk, hard cheese, fruit and vegetables sensitive to cold as well as tropical fruit.

When purchasing food, please note:

The "purchase freshness" is important for the shelf-life of your food.

In principle, the following applies: the fresher you store the food in the appliance, the longer it will remain fresh.

Therefore, when buying food, pay attention to the degree of freshness.

In the case of ready-made products and bottled goods, observe the best-before date or use-by date specified by the manufacturer.

Arranging food in the appliance

  • Wrap or cover food before placing in the appliance. This will retain the aroma, colour and freshness of the food. In addition, flavours will not be transferred between foods and the plastic parts will not become discoloured.
  • Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance.
  • Do not block air outlet openings with food in the refrigerator compartment, otherwise the air circulation will be impaired.
    Food which is stored directly in front of the air outlet openings may be frozen by the cold air flowing out.
  • Avoid contact of oil and fat with the plastic parts and door seal.

Fast cooling

Fast cooling sets the refrigerator temperature to the coldest temperature setting for approx. 6 hours. Then the original temperature set before fast cooling mode is automatically restored.

Switch on fast cooling mode, e.g.:

  • before placing large quantities of food in the refrigerator compartment.
    • for fast cooling drinks.

Switching on

Press fast cooling button ⓧ.

"Cool-fresh" container

The temperature in the "cool-fresh" container is about 0 °C. The "cool-fresh" drawer is covered by a special filter which sets the ideal humid climate.

The low temperature and the optimum moisture provide ideal storage conditions for fresh food.

Food can be kept fresh up to three times longer than in the normal cooling zone – for even longer freshness, nutrient retention and flavour.

Selection buttons for "cool-fresh" container

Press the appropriate button corresponding to the food stored:

  • Fish For the storage of fish and seafood.
  • Meat/poultry For the storage of meat products, poultry, sausage and prepared meals.

Foods suitable for "cool-fresh" container:

In principle all foods which are fresh and are to remain fresh for even longer, such as: fish, seafood, meat and sausage, dairy products, and ready meals.

Foods not suitable for the "cool-fresh" drawer:

Fruit and vegetables sensitive to cold (e.g.: tropical fruit such as pineapples, bananas, papaya, citrus fruits, melons as well as tomatoes, aubergines, zucchini, capsicums, cucumbers, potatoes).

The ideal storage location for these foods is the refrigerator compartment.

When purchasing food, please note:

The "purchase freshness" is important for the shelf-life of your food.

In principle, the following applies: the fresher you store the food in the appliance, the longer it will remain fresh.
