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
instructions and warnings.
Retain all documents for
subsequent use or for the next
owner.
Technical safety
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.
If the power cord of this
appliance is damaged, it must
be replaced by the
manufacturer, customer service
or a similarly qualified person.
Improper installations and
repairs may put the user at
considerable risk.
Repairs may be performed by
the manufacturer, customer
service or a similarly qualified
person only.
Only original parts supplied by
the manufacturer may be used.
The manufacturer guarantees
that only these parts satisfy the
safety requirements.
Do not use multiple sockets,
extension leads or adapters.

Fig. )
Refrigerator
compartment
The refrigerator compartment is the ideal
storage location for meat, sausage, fish,
dairy products, eggs, ready meals
and pastries.
Storing food
■Store fresh, undamaged food. The
quality and freshness will then
be retained for longer.
■In the case of ready-made products
and bottled goods, observe the best-
before date or use-by date specified
by the manufacturer.
■To retain aroma, colour
and freshness, pack or cover food
well before placing in the appliance.
This will prevent the transfer
of flavours and the discolouration
of plastic parts in the refrigerator
compartment.
■Allow warm food and drinks to cool
down before placing in the appliance.
Note
Do not block air outlet openings with
food, otherwise the air circulation will be
impaired. Food which is stored directly
in front of the air outlet openings may be
frozen by the cold air flowing out.
Note the chill zones in the
refrigerator compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment creates different chill
zones:
■The coldest zones are in front of the
air outlet openings and in the chill
compartment, Fig. !/13.
Note
Store perishable food (e.g. fish,
sausage, meat) in the coldest zones.
■Warmest zone is at the very top of the
door.
Note
Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in
the warmest zone. The aroma of hard
cheese can then continue to develop
and butter remains spreadable.
