1 Safety instructions and warnings
Disposal notes
The packaging is made of recyclable materials.
- Corrugated board/board
- EPS moulded parts
- Polythene sheets
- Polypropylene straps
W Keep packaging materials away from children- poly-
thene sheets and bags can cause suffocation!
W Please return the packaging to an official collection point.
Your old appliance: This contains some reusable
materials and should be disposed of properly - not
simply with unsorted household refuse.
W Discarded appliances should be disabled: Remove
the plug, cut through the connection cable and
render the catch unusable so that children cannot
become trapped inside.
W Ensure that the refrigerant circuit is not damaged when the ap-
pliance that is no longer needed is taken away for disposal.
W Details of the refrigerant can be found on the type plate.
W Appliances which are no longer needed must be disposed of
in a professional and appropriate way, in accordance with
the current local regulations and laws.
Technical safety
W To prevent injury or damage to the unit, the appliance
should only be transported wrapped and set up by
two people.
W The refrigerant R 600a is environmentally friendly but flam-
mable.
W
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit pipes.
Splashes of refrigerant can harm your eyes or ignite.
W If refrigerant escapes, remove all naked flames or sources
of ignition in the vicinity of the leak, disconnect the appliance
from the mains and ventilate the area well.
W I
n the event that the appliance is damaged, contact the supplier
immediately before connecting to the mains.
W To guarantee safe operation, ensure that the appliance is set
up and connected as described in these operating instructions.
W Disconnect the appliance from the mains if any fault occurs.
Pull out the plug (not by pulling on the mains cable) or switch
off or remove the fuse.
W Any repairs and work on the appliance should only be
carried out by the customer service department, as un-
authorised work could prove highly dangerous for the
user. The same applies to changing the mains power cable.
Safety during use
W
Do not store explosives or sprays using combus-tible
propellants such as butane, propane, pentane, etc.
in the appliance. Electrical components might cause leak-
ing gas to ignite. You can identify such sprays by the printed
contents or a flame symbol.
W Only store high-percentage alcohol in tightly sealed, upright
containers.
W Do not allow naked flames or ignition sources to enter the
appliance.
W
Do not use electrical appliances inside the appliance (e.g.
steam cleaners, heaters, ice makers, etc.).
W Do not stand on the plinth, drawers or doors or use them to
support anything else.
W This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabili-
ties or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have
been given initial supervision or instruction concerning use of
the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Chil-
dren should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
W Avoid prolonged skin contact with cold surfaces or chilled/
frozen food. This could cause pain, numbness and frostbite.
In the case of prolonged skin contact, protective measures
should be taken, e.g. gloves should be worn.
W Do not consume food which has been stored for too long, as
it could cause food poisoning.
W Special-purpose lamps (incandescent lamps, LEDs, fluores-
cent tubes) in the appliance serve to illuminate the appliance
interior and are not suited for room illumination.
Setting up
W When setting up/fitting ensure that the refrigerant
circuit pipes are not damaged.
W Once in position, use a 10 spanner to adjust the feet
so that the appliance is level and does not wobble.
W Standard EN 378 specifies that the room in which you install
your appliance must have a volume of 1 m
3
per 8 g of R
600a refrigerant used in the appliance, so as to avoid the
formation of inflammable gas/air mixtures in the room where
the appliance is located in the event of a leak in the
refrigerant circuit. The quantity of refrigerant used in
your appliance is indicated on the type plate on the
inside of the appliance.
W
Always position the appliance directly up against the wall.
W The ventilation grilles should not be obstructed.
Please note the appendix concerning installation
instructions.
W Condensation may form on the outside of the refrigerator/
freezer during periods of high humidity. Constant ventilation
of the installation site is recommend.
W Do not place heat-emitting appliances, e.g. microwave oven,
toaster, etc., on top of the refrigerator or freezer.
W Keep burning candles, lamps and other items with naked
flames away from the appliance so that they do not set the
appliance on fire.
W Fire hazard due to dampness!
If live parts or the mains lead become damp this may cause
short circuits.
- The appliance is designed for use in enclosed areas. Do
not operate the appliance outdoors or in areas where it is
exposed to splash water or damp conditions.
W CAUTION! Risk of injury and danger of damage as a result
of incorrect transport!
- Transport the appliance in a packed condition.
- Transport the appliance upright.
- Do not transport the appliance without assistance.
W The appliance may be moved only when it is empty.
Connecting to the mains
Power supply (AC) and voltage
at the operating point must comply with the details on the
type plate, which is located on the inside left of the appli-
ance, next to the vegetable bins.
W Connect the appliance with a properly
earthed fused plug and socket only.
W The socket must be fused with a 10 A fuse or higher, it must be
away from the rear of the appliance and must be easily accessible.
W Do not connect the appliance to the supply with other
equipment using a distribution outlet - risk of overheating.
W When removing the mains cable from the back of the appliance,
remove the cable holder as well so as to avoid vibration noise.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accord-ance with the
following code: green/yellow = earth, blue = neutral, brown = live.
Warning! This appliance must be earthed.
Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363
If this machine or appliance is fitted with a non-rewireable plug,
the following information applies: If the socket outlets are not
suitable for the plug supplied with this product, it must be cut
off and an appropriate plug fitted. The plug cut from the flexible
cord should be disposed of and on no account be inserted into
a 13 A socket elsewhere in the house (electric shock hazard).
The fuse cover must be re-fitted when changing the fuse, and if
the fuse cover is lost the plug must not be used until a suitable
replacement is obtained. The colour of the correct replacement
cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of the plug, or the
colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug (as
applicable to the design of the plug fitted). The correct rating
of the replacement fuses that are ASTA approved to BS 1362
should be fitted. Replacement fuse covers may be purchased
from your local electrical suppliers, electricity showroom or ap-
proved service agent.
