1 Important Safety Instructions
The safety of our appliances is in accordance with recognised techno-
logical standards and appliance safety legislation. We nevertheless feel
that it is important to acquaint you with the following safety guidelines:
Use for Intended Purpose
• The appliance is intended for use at home. Depending on the preset
operation mode, this appliance becomes suitable for freezing, for fro-
zen storage of foods, for ice preparation or for cooling of foods. The
manufacturer assumes no liability for damages occurring through
improper operation or use of the appliance for unintended purposes.
• Alterations or changes to the appliance are not permitted for reasons
of safety.
• If you should use this appliance in a commercial application or for
purposes other than freezing, or frozen storage of foods or for cooling
of foods, please observe all valid legal regulations for your application.
Prior to initial start-up
• Check the appliance for transport damage. Do not under any
circumstances connect a damaged appliance! Please contact your
supplier in the event of damage.
• Make sure that the power plug is not squashed or damaged by the
back of the fridge/freezer. A damaged power plug may overheat and
cause a fire.
• If the power plug socket is loose, do not insert the power plug. There
is a risk of electric shock or fire.
Refrigerant
The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained within 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 for Children
• Packaging materials (e.g. films, styrofoam) can be dangerous for
children. Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging materials away from
children!

Important Safety Instructions
104 818 36 10-01/6
• 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 eliminates the danger that playing children lock
themselves into the appliance (danger of suffocation!) or place
themselves into other life-endangering situations.
• Children often do not recognise the dangers involved with household
appliances. Please provide for the necessary supervision and do not
allow children to play with the appliance!
Daily Operation
• Containers with flammable gases or fluids can develop leaks through
contact with the cold. Danger of explosion! Do not store containers
with flammable substances, such as aerosol cans, refill cartridges for
cigarette lighters etc. in the appliance.
• Bottles and cans may not be placed in the freezer compartment. They
can burst when the contents freeze - or even explode if the contents
contain carbonic acid! Never place sodas, juices, beer, wine,
champagne etc. into the freezer compartment. Exception: Spirits with
high alcohol content may be stored in the freezer compartment.
• Do not place ice cream or ice cubes directly from the freezer
compartment into the mouth. Very cold ice can freeze to the lips or
tongue and cause injury.
• Never touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the
goods.
•Warning - Do not operate any electrical appliances in the appliance
(e.g. electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.).
•Warning - Do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings as this
will impair the operation of the appliance.
•Warning - Do not use any mechanical devices or other artificial
means to speed up defrosting unless they are recommended by the
manufacturer.
• Before cleaning the appliance switch off and remove the plug from
the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.
• Placing frozen goods on the top of the appliance can lead to the
accumulation of condensation on the top panel through contact with
the cold. Electronic components are housed within this top panel. If
water should drip onto these components, the appliance could be
damaged by a short circuit. For this reason do not place frozen goods
on top of the appliance.

Important Safety Instructions
818 36 10-01/6 105
• Do not remove the power cord by pulling on its lead, particularly
when the fridge/freezer is being pulled out of its niche. Damage to
the cord may cause a short circuit, fire and/or electric shock.
• Do not place heavy articles or the fridge/freezer itself on the power
cord. There is a risk of a short circuit and fire.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a certified
service agent or qualified personnel.
In case of malfunction
• If a malfunction should occur at the appliance, refer first to the
section "What to do if ..." in these operating instruction. If the
instructions in this section are not sufficient, do not undertake any
further work on your own.
• Refrigerators or feezers may only be repaired by trained personnel.
Repairs carried out by untrained personnel can lead to substantial
danger. Please contact your dealer or our customer service
department for repairs.

108 818 36 10-01/6
Installation
Installation Location
The appliance should be installed 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:
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.
If these clearances cannot be maintained a heat insulating pad is requi-
red between the cooker and the refrigeration appliance.
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

Installation
818 36 10-01/6 109
The freezer needs ventilation
Air is fed under the door through the
vent slots in the base and is exhausted
upwards along the back wall. To ensure
proper air circulation never cover or
alter the vent openings.
Important! If the appliance is installed
under, for example, a hanging cabinet, a
clearance of at least 10 cm between the
top of the appliance and the cabinet
above it must be maintained.
Please check whether, after installing
your appliance and especially after
reversing the door, the door seal fits
tightly. A badly fitting door seal may lead to heavy frosting and a
higher power consumption (see also “Something not working“).
Remove the two wall spacers from
the appliance accessories pack and,
in accordance with the illustrations,
insert them into the retainers located
at the top of the rear of the appli-
ance so that the distance from the
wall required for the necessary venti-
lation is ensured.
Appliance Alignment
01. The appliance must be level. Please compensate for unevenness in the
floor by turning the two adjustable feet at the front.
When two appliances are placed beside each other, the spacers
enclosed in the plastic wrapping should be glued between the appli-
ances as shown in the illustration.

Installation
110 818 36 10-01/6
Electrical Connection
A properly installed socket outlet with earthing contact is required for
electrical connection. Electrical fuse protection must be of at least 10
ampere.
If the outlet socket is no longer accessible after installation of the
appliance, appropriate measures must be taken during electrical instal-
lation to assure that the appliance can be disconnected from the mains
(e.g. fuse, circuit breaker, non-operate current safety-switch or the like,
with a contact opening of at least 3 mm).
01. Before initial start-up, refer to the appliance rating plate to ascertain if
supply voltage and current values correspond with those of the mains
at the installation location.
e.g.: AC 220 ... 240 V 50 Hz or
220 ... 240 V~50 Hz
(i.e. 220 to 240 volts alternating current, 50 Hertz)
The rating plate is inside the appliance at the left.
Warning: To avoid potential danger, if the mains connection lead of
this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by our customer service
representative or a person with similar qualifications.
Warning: Under no circumstances should the appliance be connected
to electronic “power saving plugs” or to a.c.-d.c. converters which con-
vert direct current to 230 V alternating current (e.g., solar installations,
ship networks)

Prior to Initial Start–Up
1
Before connecting the appliance to the mains and putting it into oper-
ation for the first time, leave the appliance to stand for 30 minutes if
was transported upright. After transport on its side, the appliance must
be left to stand for 4 hours before putting it into operation. This is nec-
essary to allow the refrigerant to flow back into the compressor. Other-
wise the compressor may be damaged.
01. Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial
start-up (see section: “Maintenance and Cleaning”).
2. The appliance must be correctly installed in accordance with the chap-
ter "Installation" before it is put into operation for the first time. Care
should be especially taken that the mains voltage and frequency avail-
able correspond with the appliance’s rating plate.
3. Remove the cold accumulation block from the appliance.
4. Only put the cold accumulation block to freeze in the top compartment
after the optimal storage temperature of –18 °C has been reached.
5. After 24 hours place the cold accumulation block in the uppermost
compartment, at the front, above the frozen food.
6. Re-freeze the thawed cold accumulation block in the same way, e. g.
after cleaning the appliance.
Initial use
01. Insert plug into mains socket.
2. Press ON/OFF button.
A warning tone sounds and the red warning light flashes indicating
that the required storage temperature has not yet been reached. The
compressor starts and then runs automatically.
3. Press the ALARM OFF button to switch off the warning tone.
4. Set temperature to -18°C or colder (see section: "Temperature Adjust-
ment").
Important! Wait until the freezer compartment has reached a tempera-
ture of –18 °C, or the red warning light has gone out, before storing
frozen food.

adjust to a colder temperature, press the „-“ (COLDER) button. The
changed setting is immediately displayed on the temperature display.
Each time one of the two buttons is pressed again the DESIRED temper-
ature is adjusted by 1 °C.
Temperature range that can be set: -15 °C to -24 °C.
Note: From a food safety point of view, -18 °C for the freezer compart-
ment should be considered cold enough as a storage temperature.
3 If the buttons are not pressed again for approx. 5 seconds the tempera-
ture display will change from the DESIRED temperature to the ACTUAL
temperature. The display changes from flashing to illuminated numbers.
Important! Please check red warning display and temperature display
regularly to assure maintenance of the storage temperature.

Control and Information Systems
The control and information systems consist of the temperature display,
an optical warning display and an acoustic warning.
The system warns:
– when first switching on the appliance (when the storage temperature
has not yet been attained);
– if the appliance door remains open for longer than 1,5 Min.;
– if the temperature in the freezer compartment is too warm;
– functional disturbances at the appliance.
"Open Door"-Warning
If the door remains open longer than approx. 1,5 Min., the red warning
indicator flashes and a warning tone sounds. If you need more time for
sorting or rearranging frozen foodstuff, you can switch off warning
tone by pressing the ALARM OFF button.
The red warning indicator will go out when the door is closed.
Temperature Warning
The red warning display and the temperature display flashes and an
audible warning sounds, as soon as the temperature in the freezer com-
partment is warmer than -11 °C.
A rise in temperature may be caused by:
– frequent door opening for long periods of time;
– loading with large quantities of warm foods;
– high ambient temperature;
– an error with the appliance.
01. You can cancel the warning tone with the ALARM OFF button.
The temperature display for the freezer indicates the warmest
temperature the freezer has reached during the temperature alarm
period. After approx. 5 seconds the temperature display reverts to the
current freezer temperature. The red warning indicator will switch off
as soon as the temperature has dropped to under -11 °C.
