Safety instructions and warnings
Disposal notes
The packaging is designed to protect the appliance
and individual components during transport and is
made of recyclable materials.
- Corrugated board/board
- Moulded polystyrene (foamed, CFC-free polystyrene)
- Polythene bags and sheets
- Polypropylene straps
W Keep packaging materials away from children - poly-
thene sheets and bags can suffocate!
W Please return the packaging material to your nearest of-
ficial collection point so that the various materials can be
reused or recycled as far as possible.
Your old appliance:
This contains some reusable materials and should be
disposed of properly - not simply with unsorted house-
hold refuse.
W Disable discarded appliances immediately by removing
the plug and cutting through the connection cable.
W Remove the spring-action or bolt catch from the appli-
ance so that playing children cannot become trapped
inside and suffocate.
W Make sure that the refrigerant circuit of an appliance that
is no longer needed is not damaged before it is collected
or handed in at a municipal collection point so as to
ensure that the refrigerant or oil does not escape into the
environment.
- Exact details of the refrigerant used can be found on the
type plate. The heat insulator is PU with Pentane.
- Information on collection dates or collection points can
be obtained from the waste disposal authorities or your
local council.
Technical safety
W To prevent injury or damage to the unit, the ap-
pliance should only be transported wrapped and
set up by two people.
W The refrigerant R 600a is environmentally friendly but
flammable.
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 appli-
ance from the mains and ventilate the area well.
W In 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 oc-
curs. 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 car-
ried out by the customer service department, as unauthor-
ised 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 leaking 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, up-
right 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 (includ-
ing children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities 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. Children 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 eat ice-cream, particularly ice lollies or ice-cubes,
immediately after taking them from the freezer compart-
ment as there is a risk of "burning" because of the very
cold temperatures.
W Do not consume food which has been stored for too long,
as it could cause food poisoning.
Setting up
W When setting up/fitting ensure that the refrigerant circuit
pipes are not damaged.
W Once in position, use the 10 spanner provided to adjust
the feet so that the appliance is level and does not
wobble.
W Avoid positioning in direct sunlight or next to an oven, ra-
diator or similar, in damp locations or near spraying water.
The basement is an ideal site for installation.
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 The ventilation grilles should not be obstructed.
Always ensure that there is good ventilation and
that the outward flowing air is able to escape.
Please note the appendix concerning installation
instructions.
W Do not place heat-emitting appliances, e.g. microwave
oven, toaster, etc., on top of the refrigerator or freezer.
W Remove all transportation safety components.
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 inside the appliance on the
left, fig. A.
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 to stand-alone inverters*,
- operate with so-called energy-saving plugs - this can
damage the electronic system,
- connect to the supply with other equipment using an
extension cable - risk of overheating.
W When removing the mains cable from the back of the appli-
ance, remove the cable holder so as to avoid vibration noise.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance 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 ac-
count 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 re-
placement 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. Re-
placement fuse covers may be purchased from your local electrical
suppliers, electricity showroom or approved service agent.
