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. 

Disposal

Appliance Packaging Information

Dispose of the packaging material of your appliance correctly. All the 
packaging materials used are harmless to the environment and can be 
recycled. 

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 collection 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 children 
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 condenser at the back of the 

appliance, must not be damaged.

• Information concerning collection schedules or locations can be 

obtained from the local disposal authorities or town hall.
