Safety
The safety aspects of our appliance comply with accepted technical stan-
dards and the German Appliance Safety Law. Nevertheless, we consider it
our obligation to make you aware of the following safety information:
Intended use
• The appliance is intended for use in the home. It is suitable for the coo-
ling, freezing and storing of frozen food, as well as for making ice. If the
appliance is used for purposes other than those intended or used incor-
rectly, no liability can be accepted by the manufacturer for any damage
that may be caused.
• Alterations or changes to the appliance are not permitted for reasons of
safety.
• If you use the appliance in a commercial application or forpurposes other
than the cooling, freezing or frozen storage of foods,please observe all
valid legal regulations for your application.
Prior to initial start–up
• Check the appliance for transport damage. Under no circumstance should
a damaged appliance be plugged in! In the event of damage, please contact
the vendor.
Refrigerant
The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained within the refrigerant circuit
of the appliance, a natural gas with a high level of environmental compa-
tibility, which is nevertheless flammable.
• During transportation and installation of the appliance, be certain that
none of the components of the refrigerant circuit become damaged.
• If the refrigerant circuit should become damaged:
– avoid open flames and sources of ignition;
– thoroughly ventilate the room in which the appliance is situated.
Safety of children
• Packaging (e.g. wraps, polystyrene) can be dangerous for children. There is
a risk of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from children!
• Please make old appliances unusable prior to disposal. Pull out the mains
plug, cut off the mains cable, break or remove spring or boltcatches, if fit-
ted. By doing this you ensure that children cannot lock themselves in the
appliance when playing (there is risk of suffocation!)or get themselves
into other dangerous situations.
• Often children cannot recognise the hazards present in household
appliances. It is therefore important that you ensure adequate supervision
and never let children play with the appliance!

5
Daily Operation
• Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures.
There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flamma-
ble materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill car-
tridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.
• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer compartment. They can
burst when the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even
explode! Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc. in
the freezer compartment. Exception: high alcohol content spirits can be
stored in the freezer compartment.
• Do not put ice creams or ice cubes in the mouth immediately after remo-
val from the freezer compartment. Very cold ice can freeze to the lips or
tongue and cause injury.
• Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze to the
food.
• Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigerator/freezer (e.g.
electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.).
• Before cleaning the appliance, always switch off the appliance and unplug
it, or pull the house fuse or switch off the circuit breaker.
• When unplugging always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull
on the cable.
In case of malfunction
• If the a malfunction occurs on the appliance, please look first in the "What
to do if ..." section of these instructions. If the information given there
does not help, please do not perform any further repairs yourself.
• Applianeces may only be repaired by qualified service engineers. Improper
repairs can give rise to significant hazards. If your appliance needs repai-
ring, please contact your specialist dealer or our Customer Service.
Disposal
Appliance Packaging Information
All materials are environmentally sound! They can be dumped or burned at
an incinerating plant without danger!
About the materials: The plastics can be recycled and are identified as fol-
lows:
>PE< for polyethylene, e.g. the outer covering and the bags in the interior.
>PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g. the pads, which are all free of chlorofluo-
rocarbon.
The carton parts are made from recycled paper and should be disposed of
at a waste-paper recycling collection location.

Disposal of old Appliances
For environmental reasons, refrigeration appliances must be disposed of
properly. This applies to your old appliance, and - at the end of its service
life - for your new appliance as well.
Warning! Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable. Remo-
ve plug from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any snap or
latch closures. This eliminates the danger that playing children lock them-
selves into the appliance (danger of suffocation!) or place themselves into
other life-endangering situations.
Disposal:
• The appliance may not be disposed of with domestic waste or bulky refuse.
• The refrigerant circuit, especially the heat exchanger at the back of the
appliance, may not be damaged.
• The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that
this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall
be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling
of electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is
disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative con-
sequences for the environment and human health, which could
otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this pro-
duct. For more detailed information about recycling of this product,
please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal
service or the shop where you purchased the product.
Remove transport safeguard
The appliance and the interior fittings are protected for transport.
• Remove all adhesive tape and packing pieces from the interior of the
appliance.
Installation
Installation Location
The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room.
Energy use is affected by the ambient temperature. The appliance should
therefore
– not be exposed to direct sunlight;
– not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat;
– only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature corresponds to
the climate classification, for which the appliance is designed.
The climate classification can be found on the serial plate, which is located
at the left on the inside of the appliance.

Climate classification for an ambient temperature of
SN +10 bis +32 °C
N+16 bis +32 °C
ST +18 bis +38 °C
T+18 bis +43 °C
The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each
climate classification: each climate classification:
If installation next to a source of heat is unavoidable, the following
minimum clearances must be maintained at the sides of the appliance:
– for electric cookers 3 cm;
– for oil and coal fired ranges 30 cm.
NP005
100 mm10 mm
10 mm
PR153
If these clearances cannot be main-
tained a heat insulating pad is requi-
red between the cooker and the
refrigeration appliance.
If the refrigeration appliance is
installed next to another refrigerator
or freezer a clearance of 5 cm at the
sides is required, in order to prevent
the formation of condensation on
the outside of the appliance.
Your appliance needs air
For safety reasons, minimum ventila-
tion must be as shown Fig.
Attention: keep ventilation ope-
nings clear of obstruction;
Rear spacers
In the bag with the documentation,
there are two spacers which must be
fitted.
Slacken the screws and insert the
spacer under the screw head, then
re-tighten the screws.

rehand.
Proceede as follows:
1. Remove the upper hinge taking care
for the upper door not to fall off and
keep it for future actions;
Remove the upper support and
mount it in the opposite side

mains socket.
In any case you do not want to carry out the above mentioned operations, con-
tact the nearest Service Force Centre. The Service Force specialist will carry
out the reversibility of the doors at your cost.
Attention: After having reversed the opening direction of the doors check that
all the screws are properly tightened and that the magnetic seal adheres to the
cabinet. If the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the gasket may not
fit perfectly to the cabinet. in that case, wait for the natural fitting of the gas-
ket or accelerate this process by heating up the part involved with a normal
hairdryer.
