Risks when dealing with fridge and freezer appliances

Dangers from the refrigerant! The refrigerant circuit of your appliance contains the sustainable but flammable refrigerant R600a (isobutane).

■ Mechanical intervention in the refrigeration system must only be carried out by authorised specialists.
■ Do not damage the refrigeration circuit, e.g. by piercing the refrigerant channels of the evaporator with sharp objects, by bending pipes, etc.
■ Leaking refrigerant is flammable, and can lead to eye damage. In this case, rinse your eyes in clean water and call a doctor immediately.

■ To prevent the formation of a flammable gas-air mixture in the event of a leakage in the refrigeration circuit, the installation space must have a minimum size of 1 m ^3 per 8 g of refrigerant in compliance with the EN 378 standard. The amount of refrigerant contained in your appliance can be found on the data sheet (see data sheet on page GB-23 and/or page GB-24).

Danger of explosion!

Improper handling of the appliance can lead to explosions.

■ Do not store explosive substances or spray cans with flammable propellants inside the appliance, as they may cause ignitable gas-air mixtures to explode.
■ Never use defrosting sprays. They can generate explosive gases. Also refrain from using electric heating appliances, naked flames or ice scrapers. The insulation could melt or become scratched.
■ High-proof alcohol should only be stored upright and tightly sealed.

Health hazard!

Incorrect handling, insufficient cooling or overlapping items can spoil the stored food. This could lead to a risk of food poisoning when consumed.

■ In particular, pack raw meat and fish carefully to ensure that adjacent food cannot be contaminated by salmonella or similar bacteria.
■ Abide by the storage times recommended by food manufacturers.
■ In the event of power failure, if possible store food in a cool place.
■ After a power failure, check whether the stored food is still edible.

The appliance may not operate properly if exposed to low ambient temperatures for extended periods of time. This can then lead to an increase in temperature inside the appliance.

- Observe the specified ambient temperature (see “Climate category” line on page GB-23).

Risk of damage!

Improper handling of the appliance can lead to property damage.

■ Do not use the door to pull or lift the appliance.
- The appliance must only be placed on a level and firm surface. The surface must be strong enough to support the appliance's weight when fully laden.
■ Do not use sharp or pointed objects to unpack it.
■ When unpacking the appliance, never damage the insulation material on the back of the appliance.
- Do not use any electrical parts inside the appliance that do not conform to the manufacturer's recommended design.
■ Do not use any mechanical devices or means other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
■ The interior light must only be used to illuminate the interior of the appliance. It is not suitable for lighting a room.
■ Do not store glass or metal containers containing water, lemonade, beer etc. Water expands when frozen and can burst the container.

■ Defrost the appliance in a timely manner, before it forms a layer of ice and frost of more than 4 mm. Excessive ice formation increases power consumption and the freezer compartment door may no longer close tightly.

■ Do not use any means other than those recommended by the manufacturer to speed up defrosting. For example, do not use any electric heating equipment, knives or devices with an open flame such as a candle. The thermal insulation and the interior are scratch and heat-sensitive and can melt.

■ When cleaning, please note:

– Never use harsh, granular, soda, acid, solvent-based or abrasive cleaners. These attack the plastic surfaces. All-purpose cleaners with a neutral pH are recommended.

- Door seals and plastic parts are sensitive to oil and grease. Remove contaminants as quickly as possible.

- Only use soft cloths.

■ Wait 5 minutes after switching off. Only then switch the appliance on again.

■ Only use original accessories.

Tip: Insert a coin into the temperature controller to adjust it.

Switching on

1. Set the temperature controller to a level between "1" and "5".
2. The appliance is switched on, the motor starts to work. The refrigerant flows through the pipes and a quiet humming sound can be heard.
3. If the appliance makes worrying noises, check its stability and remove any objects on top of the appliance.

Switching off

1. Set the temperature controller to "0".
2. Empty the appliance.
3. Clean it (see Chapter „Care and maintenance“ on page GB-12).
4. Leave the door open slightly to avoid mould formation.
5. Pull the mains plug out of the socket if you are not using the appliance for a prolonged period.

Thermostat control

WARNING

Health hazard!

The appliance may not operate properly if exposed to low ambient temperatures for extended periods of time. This can then lead to an increase in temperature inside the appliance.

- Observe the specified ambient temperature (see “Climate category” on page GB-23).

Adjust the refrigeration temperature using the temperature controller (13). The cooling power is variable adjustable from "0" to "5". "5" is the lowest temperature.

- First select a medium setting between "3" and "4".

The temperature inside the appliance can increase

– if the ambient temperature fluctuates above or below the prescribed level,
- if the appliance door is opened frequently or for a prolonged period.

• To set a higher temperature turn the thermostat towards "0".
• To set a lower temperature turn the thermostat towards "5".

Should the ambient temperature change, adjust the temperature in the refrigerator (e.g. in summer towards "5").

You ideally need a freezer thermometer to be able to control the cooling efficiency. Position it on the wire rack (5). The correct temperature here is +6 °C.

Cooling

WARNING

Danger of explosion! Improper handling of the appliance can lead to explosions.

■ Do not store explosive substances or spray cans with flammable propellants inside the appliance, as they may cause ignitable gas-air mixtures to explode.
■ Alcohol should only be stored upright and tightly sealed.

Store food correctly

(16) (1) (2)(4)(5)

- Fill the fridge compartment in such a way that the temperature conditions inside are used to their full potential:

• Place spreadable butter and cheese high on the top shelves (16) or the small door shelf (1). It is warmest here.
  – Position bottles and drinks cartons in the bottle compartment in the door shelf (2).
  Position full containers closer to the hinge in order to reduce the strain on the door.
• Place cooked or baked goods, fresh meat, game, poultry, bacon, sausage and raw fish at the bottom of the refrigerator (4). This is where the temperature is lowest.

Maintaining quality

• To maintain the flavour and freshness of food in the fridge compartment, only place packaged food in the fridge compartment. Use special plastic food containers or standard food wrap.
• Place food in a way that allows air to circulate freely in the refrigerator. Do not cover the wire rack (5) with paper or anything similar.
• Do not place food directly against the back wall. Otherwise it may freeze to the back wall.

Saving energy

• Allow hot food to cool before placing it in the fridge compartment.
• The temperatures in the appliance and thus the energy consumption can increase
• if the doors are opened frequently or for a prolonged period.
• if the ambient temperature fluctuates above or below the prescribed level.
• Energy consumption is also dependent on the selected location (for more detailed information, see page GB-14).

Care and maintenance

WARNING

Health hazard!

■ Cleaning and maintenance must not be carried out by children unless they are supervised.

Risk of electric shock!

■ Before cleaning, pull the mains plug out of the socket. Always take hold of the plug itself, do not pull on the mains cord.
■ Make sure that no cleaning water gets into the ventilation slots, the electrical parts and the drain opening.

NOTICE

The surfaces and door seals can get damaged by improper handling.

■ Never use harsh, soda, acid, solvent or abrasive cleaners. These attack the plastic surfaces. All-purpose cleaners with a neutral pH are recommended.
■ Use care products only on the outer surfaces.
- The door seals are sensitive to oil and grease – making the rubber porous and brittle.
■ Only use soft cloths.

Checking and cleaning door seals

The door seals must be checked regularly so that no air can enter the appliance.

1. To test them, clamp a thin piece of paper in various places. The paper should be difficult to pull through at all points.
2. If the seal is not uniform everywhere: Carefully warm the seal in the affected places with a hair dryer and pull it out slightly with your fingers.
3. Only clean dirty seals with clean water.

Clean exterior

– Painted surfaces: Use only light pH-neutral soapy water.
- Stainless steel surfaces: Use special stainless steel cleaner from a specialist shop. Never use polish.

Defrosting the fridge compartment

This is not necessary. The fridge compartment of your appliance has an auto-defrost feature. Frost and ice are automatically defrosted and the thaw water is collected in a defrost water container on the reverse side of the appliance. The thaw water evaporates as a result of the heat generated by the motor.

Cleaning the fridge compartment

(7) (6) (5)

1. Set the temperature controller (13) to "0".
2. Pull out the mains plug.
3. Remove the chilled goods and place them in a cool room.
4. Remove the wire rack (5) and clean with tepid water with a little washing-up liquid. Dry all parts thoroughly.
5. Wipe down the inside with warm water and washing-up liquid. Add a few drops of vinegar to the water when wiping for a second time to prevent the formation of mould. Wipe the interior dry and leave the door open a while to air.
6. Clean the opening of the defrost water drain (6) using the cleaning rod (7).
7. Clean the door seal with clean water only. It is sensitive to oil and grease.
8. Replace the shelves and drawers, and refill with chilled goods.
9. Plug the mains plug back in and turn the temperature controller (13) to the desired setting.
