Risks when dealing with fridge and freezer appliances

Dangers from the refrigerant!

The refrigerant circuit of your appliance contains the sustainable but fl ammable 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. If this happens, rinse eyes with 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 1m^3 per 8 g of refrigerant in compliance with the EN 378 standard. The volume of refrigerant is specified on the data sheet (see page GB-22).

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.
■ Only store high-proof alcohol upright and tightly sealed.

Health hazards!

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.
■ After a power failure, check whether 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-22).

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 fi rm surface. The surface must be strong enough to support the appli-ance'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.

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.
■ Only store alcohol upright and tightly sealed.

Store food correctly

(10) (7) (9) (8)

Fill the fridge compartment (11) in such a way that the temperature conditions inside are used to their full potential:

• Place spreadable butter and cheese in the top door compartment (7). This is where it is warmest.
• Store bottles and drinks cartons in the bottom door compartment (7). Position full containers closer to the hinge in order to reduce the strain on the door.
• Place cooked and baked foods on the glass shelves (10).
• Place fresh meat, game, poultry, bacon, sausage and raw fish on the glass shelf

(9) above the vegetable drawer (8). This is where the temperature is lowest.

- Place fresh fruit and vegetables in the vegetable drawer (8).

Maintaining quality

• To maintain the flavour and freshness of food in the fridge compartment (11), only place packaged food in the fridge compartment. Use special plastic containers for good or standard food wrap.
• Place the food
  – in the fridge in a way that allows the air to circulate freely. Do not cover the glass shelves with paper or anything similar.
  – somewhere that is not directly against the rear wall. Otherwise it may freeze onto the rear wall.

Saving energy

• Allow hot food to cool before placing it in the fridge compartment (11).
• 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 room temperature fluctuates up and/or down.
• Energy consumption is also dependent on the selected location (for more detailed information, see page GB-13).

Moving glass shelves and door compartments

The glass shelves (10) above the vegetable drawer cover can be moved around.

1. Inserting and removing glass shelf/door compartment.
2. Guide glass shelf/door compartment over the side brackets from above.

Care and maintenance

WARNING

Health hazard!

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

Risk of electric shock!

■ Unplug the mains cable before cleaning. 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.

Defrosting the fridge compartment

This is not necessary. Since 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 thaw 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

1. Pull out the mains plug.
2. Remove the chilled goods and place them in a cool room.
3. Remove the vegetable drawer (8), the door compartments (7) and the glass drawers (9) and (10) and clean them in tepid water with a little washing-up liquid. Dry all parts thoroughly.
4. 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.
5. Clean the opening of the condensate drain above the vegetable drawer (8) with the cleaning rod (12).
6. Only clean the door seals with clean water; they are sensitive to oil and fat.
7. Reinsert the glass shelves, door compartments and drawers and replace the chilled goods.
8. Insert the mains plug again.

Environmental protection

Disposing of old electrical devices in an environmentally-friendly manner

Electrical appliances contain harmful substances and valuable resources.

You can dispose of old electrical appliances free of charge at your local recycling centre.

Please contact your dealer directly for more information about this topic.

CAUTION

Fire hazard!

Cooling appliances, which contain refrigerants and gases in the cooling systems and insulation, have to be properly disposed of. Refrigerant leakage may cause a fire hazard.

■ Until the point of proper disposal, ensure that none of the cooling fins or tubes on a cooling appliance are damaged.
