paramount importance. If you are unsure about the meaning of these
warnings contact the Customer Care Department for assistance.
Intended use
The refrigerator is intended for use in the home. It is suitable for the cooling
and storing of food. If the appliance is used for purposes other than those
intended or used incorrectly, no liability can be accepted by the
manufacturer for any damage that may be caused.
Alterations or changes to the refrigerator are not permitted for reasons of

accepts no liability for any damages which may occur.
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 your supplier.
Ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable.
Important: if the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by
authorised service or qualified personnel using a special cable of the same
type.
Refrigerant
The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained with in the refrigerant circuit
of the appliance, a natural gas with a high level of environmental
compatibility, which is nevertheless flammable.
Warning- 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 bolt catches, if
fitted. 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.

Disposal
Appliance Packaging Information
All materials are environmentally sound! They can be disposed of or burned
at an incinerating plant without danger. About the materials: The plastics can
be recycled and are identified as follows:
>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 chloro-
fluorocarbon.
The carton parts are made from recycled paper and should be disposed of at
a wastepaper 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. Remove
plug from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any snap or latch
closures. This ensures that children do not lock themselves inside 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, must 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 should be taken
to the approprite collection point for the recycling of electrical and
electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly,
you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the
environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by
inappropriate waste handling of this product. For more detailed
information about recycling of this product, please contact your local
council; your household waste disposal service or the shop where you
purchased the product.
Remove Transport Packaging
The appliance and the interior fittings are protected for transport.
1. Pull off the adhesive tape on the left and right side of the door.
2. 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 and efficient performance of the appliance 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 rating plate, which is located
at the left on the inside of the appliance.
The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each
climate classification:
Climate classification for an ambient temperature of
SN +10 to +32 °C
N +16 to +32 °C
ST +18 to +38 °C
T +18 to +43 °C
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.
