Important Safety Instructions
These warnings are provided in the interests of your safety. Ensure you fully understand them before
installing or using the appliance. Your safety is of paramount importance. If you are unsure about
the meaning of these warnings contact the Customer Care Department for assistance.
Intended use
• The freezer is intended for use in the home. It is suitable for the freezing and storing 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 freezer are not permitted for reasons of safety.
• If you use the freezer in a commercial application or for purposes other than the freezing or frozen
storage of foods, the manufacturer accepts no liability for any damages which may occur.
Prior to initial start–up
• 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.
• 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.
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.
• 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.
• 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!
Daily Operation
• Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures. There is a risk of an explo-
sion! Do not store any containers with flammable materials such as spray cans, fire extinguisher refill
cartridges etc in the appliance.
• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst when the contents freeze, high car-
bonate content drinks can even explode! Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc. in
the freezer. Exception: high alcohol content spirits can be stored in the freezer.
• Do not put ice creams or ice cubes in the mouth immediately after removal from the freezer. 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 freezer (e.g. electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.).
• Placing frozen goods on the top of the appliance can lead to the accumulation of condensation in the
cavity of the storag etray through contact with the cold. Electronic components are housed within this
cavity. If condensation 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.
• 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 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. 45

• Under no circumstance should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact our Customer Service.

Disposal
Appliance Packaging Information
All materials are environmentally friendly. They can be dumped or burned at an incinerating plant with-
out 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 chlorofluorocarbon.
The carton parts are made from recycled paper and should be disposed of at a waste-paper recycling col-
lection 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 eliminates the danger that playing chil-
dren lock themselves 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, must not be dam-
aged.
• Information concerning collection schedules or locations can be obtained from your local Council or
Environmental Health Office.
Remove transport safeguard
The appliance and the interior fittings are protected for transport.
Pull off the adhesive tape on the left and right side of the door.
You can remove any remnants of adhesive using white spirit.
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:
If installation next to a source of heat is unavoidable, the following minimum clearances must be main-
tained 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 required 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.
47
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
Your appliance needs air
Your freezer is designed for maintenance-free operation. What it should never lack is good ventilation.
Air is supplied under the ventilation slot between the freezer and storage surface. Air is extracted
through the upper ventilation grille. Never obstruct these openings.
Electrical Connection
The plug socket necessary for connection of your appliance to the electricity supply should be positioned
so that it is possible to pull out the appliance plug.
A concealed protective contact plug socket requires 10 A/16 A fusing.
If the socket is not accessible, the electrical installation must include suitable means of isolating the
appliance from the mains (e.g. fuse, cut-out, current trip or similar with a minimum contact separation
of 3 mm).
Before initial start-up, refer to the appliance serial 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 on the left.
