Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
offered for recycling.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation!
Disposal of your old appliance
Old appliances contain materials which
can be reclaimed or recycled. Please
contact your dealer, your waste collec-
tion centre or scrap merchant about
potential recycling schemes.
Make sure that the pipework is not
damaged whilst moving an old appli-
ance. This is to ensure that the refriger-
ant and oil in the compressor cannot
leak into the environment. It is important
that they are disposed of in a safe
manner by authorised persons only.
Ensure that the appliance presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
See the appropriate section in the
Warning and safety instructions.
Caring for the environment
5

This appliance complies with all rele-
vant legal safety requirements. Im-
proper use of the appliance can,
however, present a risk of both per-
sonal injury and material damage.
Before installation and before using
for the first time, read the operating
instructions carefully. They contain
important notes on safety, the opera-
tion and care of the appliance. This
way you will avoid the risk of acci-
dents and damage to the appliance.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and pass them on to any
future user.
Correct usage
This appliance is intended for do-
mestic use only for the cool stor-
age of food and drink.
Any other usage is not supported by
the manufacturer and could be danger-
ous. The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by improper
use of the appliance.
Technical safety
This appliance contains the coolant
Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas
which is very environment friendly. Al-
though it is flammable, it does not dam-
age the ozone layer and does not in-
crease the green house effect. The use
of this environment friendly coolant has
however led to a slight increase in the
noise level of the appliance.
In addition to the noise of the compres-
sor you might be able to hear the cool-
ant flowing around the system. This is
unavoidable, but does not have any ad-
verse effect on the performance of the
appliance.
Care must be taken during transporta-
tion and setting up of the appliance that
no parts of the cooling system are dam-
aged. Leaking coolant can damage the
eyes.
In the event of any damage:
– avoid open fires
and anything which creates a spark,
– disconnect from the mains,
– air the room in which the appliance is
located for several minutes and
– contact the Service Department
for advice.
The more refrigerant there is in an
appliance the larger the room it
should be installed in. In the event of a
leakage, if the appliance is in a small
room, there is the danger of combusti-
ble gases building up.
For every 8 g of coolant at least 1 m3
room space is required. The amount of
coolant in the appliance is stated on the
data plate inside the appliance.
Before connecting the appliance to
the mains supply, make sure that
the rating on the data plate corre-
sponds to the voltage and frequency of
the household supply.
This data must correspond in order to
avoid risk of damage to the appliance.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified elec-
trician.
Warning and safety instructions
6

The electrical safety of this appli-
ance can only be guaranteed when
continuity is complete between the ap-
pliance and an effective earthing sys-
tem which complies with local and na-
tional safety regulations. It is most im-
portant that this basic safety require-
ment is tested by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Safe operation of the appliance is
only assured if it has been installed
and connected in accordance with
these operating and installation instruc-
tions.
This equipment is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as caravans, aircraft
etc. However, it may be suitable for
such usage subject to a risk assess-
ment of the installation being carried
out by a suitably qualified engineer.
Installation work, maintenance and
repairs may only be carried out by
suitably qualified and competent per-
sons.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous and the
manufacturer will not be held responsi-
ble.
Ensure current is not supplied to
the appliance while maintenance
or repair work is being carried out.
The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
–the plug has been withdrawn.
Do not pull on the cable, only on the
plug.
–the mains fuse is withdrawn.
–or the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance.
(e.g. danger of overheating).
Use
Never store explosive materials in
the appliance. Switching on ther-
mostats and the interior light may pro-
duce sparks which could present a fire
hazard.
If storing alcohol with a high per-
centage proof, make sure it is
tightly closed and stored upright.
Danger of explosion.
Observe the "use by" dates given
on food to avoid the risk of food
poisoning.
Storage times will depend on several
factors including the freshness and
quality of the food as well as the tem-
perature at which it is stored. Follow the
instructions given on food manufac-
turer’s packaging on storage conditions
required as well as the "use by" date.
Warning and safety instructions

Do not use sharp edged
objects to
– remove frost and ice,
– separate frozen foods and remove ice
trays.
They will damage the evaporator and
the appliance will not be able to be
used again (total damage).
Never place electric heaters or
candles in the appliance to defrost
it. These can damage the plastic parts.
Do not use defrosting sprays, or
de-icers as they could contain sub-
stances which could damage the plas-
tic parts and which may cause the build
up of gases and pose a danger to
health.
Do not use any grease or oil on the
door seals. These cause the seals
to become porous in the course of time.
Do not block the ventilation gaps in
the appliance as this would impair
the efficiency of the appliance, increase
the electricity consumption and could
cause damage to the appliance.
The appliance is designed for use
within certain climate ranges (am-
bient temperatures). It must not be
used in ranges for which it is not de-
signed. The climate range for your ap-
pliance is stated on the data plate in-
side the appliance. Installing it in a
room with too low an ambient tempera-
ture will lead to the appliance switching
off for longer periods so that it cannot
maintain the required temperature.
Never use steam cleaning appara-
tus to defrost or clean the appli-
ance. The steam could attack the elec-
trical components and cause a short
circuit.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the appli-
ance and its surroundings in a clean
condition at all times. Any damage
which may be caused by cockroaches
or other vermin will not be covered by
the appliance guarantee.
Disposal of old appliances
Before disposing of an old appli-
ance first make the door latch or
lock unusable.
This way you will prevent children from
accidentally locking themselves in and
endangering their lives.
Before disposing of an old appli-
ance, unplug it and render the plug
useless. Cut off the cable directly be-
hind the appliance and at the plug to
prevent misuse.
Be careful not to damage any part
of the pipework whilst awaiting dis-
posal, e.g. by
–puncturing the refrigerant channels
in the evaporator.
–bending any pipework.
–scratching the surface coating.
Splashes of refrigerant can damage the
eyes.
The manufacturer cannot be held lia-
ble for damage caused by non-com-
pliance with these Warning and
safety instructions.

Before using for the first time
^Clean the inside of the appliance and
the accessories with luke warm water
and a little washing up liquid and
then dry using a soft cloth.
Switching on
^Turn the temperature selector in a
clockwise direction away from "0".
8will flash in the temperature display
for a short time. A bar will then light up.
The appliance will begin to cool. The in-
terior light will come on when the door
is opened.
Switching off
^Turn the temperature selector in an
anti-clockwise direction back from "1"
to "0".
The temperature display will go out.
The cooling system and the interior light
are now switched off.
Switching off for longer
periods of time
If the appliance is not going to be used
for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst
on holiday
^switch the appliance off at the mains,
^withdraw the plug (pull on the plug
and not the cable),
^clean the appliance
^leave the door to the appliance ajar
to air the appliance.
If, during a long absence, the appli-
ance is switched off but not cleaned
out and the door is left shut there is
a danger of mould and odours build-
ing up inside the appliance.
Switching on and off

It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the ap-
pliance. Micro organisms will cause
food which is not stored at the correct
temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Tem-
perature influences the growth rate of
these micro organisms. Reducing the
temperature reduces their growth rate.
The temperature in the appliance will
rise:
–the more often the door is opened
and the longer it is kept open,
–if too much food is stored in it at
once,
– the warmer the food is which is put
into it,
– the higher the ambient temperature
surrounding the appliance.
The appliance is designed for use in
specific ambient temperatures (cli-
mate ranges). Do not use in ambient
temperatures for which it is not de-
signed.
. . . in the refrigerator
We recommend a temperature of
5 °C in the middle of the appliance.
Temperature selection
Use the temperature selector to select
the temperature.
^Turn the temperature selector to a
setting between 1 and 7.
The higher the setting the lower the
temperature in the appliance. A middle
range setting is usually sufficient.
It is advisable to select a higher setting
(between 4 and 7) if the door is opened
frequently, large quantities of food are
stored in the refrigerator or there is a
high ambient temperature.
Temperature display
During normal operation the tempera-
ture display on the control panel shows
the temperature in the warmest part of
the appliance.
If the temperature in the appliance is
not within the range which can be dis-
played, i.e. between 0 and 9 °C, only a
bar will show in the temperature dis-
play.
Natural air circulation inside the appli-
ance will mean that there are areas in-
side the appliance which will be
warmer or colder than the temperature
displayed. This is quite normal.
Make use of the different temperatures
for storing your food correctly.
