Safety and warning
information
Before you switch ON the
appliance
Please read the operating and
installation instructions carefully!
They contain important
information on how to install,
use and maintain the appliance.
The manufacturer is not liable if
you fail to comply with the

Technical safety
Fire hazard
The tubes of the
refrigeration circuit convey a
small quantity of an
environmentally friendly but
flammable refrigerant (R600a). It
does not damage the ozone
layer and does not increase the
greenhouse effect. If refrigerant
escapes, it may injure your eyes
or ignite.
If damage has occurred
■Keep naked flames and/or
ignition sources away from the
appliance,
■thoroughly ventilate the room
for several minutes,
■switch off the appliance and
pull out the mains plug,
■inform customer service.
The more refrigerant an
appliance contains, the larger
the room must be in which the
appliance is situated. Leaking
refrigerant can form a
flammable gas-air mixture in
rooms which are too small.
The room must be at least 1 m³
per 8 g of refrigerant. The
amount of refrigerant in your
appliance is indicated on the
rating plate inside the appliance.
When installing the appliance,
ensure that the mains cable is
not trapped or damaged.

Your appliance features an automatic
self-test program which shows you
sources of faults which may be repaired
by customer service only.
Starting the appliance self-test
1. Switch off the appliance and wait 5
minutes.
2. Switch on the appliance and hold
down the temperature selection
button, Fig. "/4, for 3-5 seconds
within the first 10 seconds until -26 °C
is lit on the temperature display.
The self-test programme starts, when
the temperature displays lit up
in succession.
When after a short time the appliance
displays the set temperature prior
to the self-test, everything is ok.
If the super display flashes for
10 seconds, an error has occurred.
Inform customer service.
Ending the appliance self-test
When the programme has ended, the
appliance switches over to normal
operation.
