Daily Operation
• Containers with flammable gases or liquids can
leak at low temperatures. There is a risk of an
explosion! Do not store any containers with flam-
mable materials such as, for example, spray
cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the
refrigerator/freezer.
• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the free-
zer compartment. They can burst when the con-
tents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can
even explode! Never store lemonade, juices,
beer, wine, sparkling wine etc. in the freezer
compartment. Exception: high alcohol content
spirits can be stored in the freezer compartment.
• Do not put ice creams or ice cubes in the mouth
immediately after removal from the freezer com-
partment. 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
refrigerator/freezer (e.g. electric ice cream
makers, mixers etc.).
• 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 the a malfunction occurs on the appliance, plea-
se look first in the "What to do if ..." section of the-
se instructions. If the information given there
does not help, please do not perform any further
repairs yourself.
• Refrigerators/freezers may only be repaired by
qualified service engineers. Improper repairs can
give rise to significant hazards. If your appliance
needs repairing, please contact your specialist
dealer or our Customer Service.
T
he safety aspects of our refrigerators/freezers
comply with accepted technical standards and the
German Appliance Safety Law. Nevertheless, we
consider it our obligation to make you aware of the
following safety information:
Intended use
• The refrigerator is intended for use in the home. It
is suitable for the cooling, freezing and storing of
frozen food, as well as for making ice. If the
appliance is used for purposes other than those
intended or used incorrectly, no liability can be
accepted by the manufacturer for any damage
that may be caused.
• Alterations or changes to the freezer are not per-
mitted for reasons of safety.
• If you use the refrigerator in a commercial appli-
cation or forpurposes other than the cooling,
freezing or frozen storage of foods,please obser-
ve all valid legal regulations for your application.
Prior to initial start–up
• Check the refrigerator for transport damage.
Under no circumstance should a damaged
appliance be plugged in! In the event of damage,
please contact the vendor.
Refrigerant
The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained
within the refrigerant circuit of the appliance, a
natural gas with a high level of environmental com-
patibility, which is nevertheless flammable.
• During transportation and installation of the
appliance, be certain that none of the compo-
nents 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 dan-
gerous 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 boltcat-
ches, if fitted. By doing this you ensure that chil-
dren cannot lock themselves in the fridge when
playing (there is risk of suffocation!)or get them-
selves into other dangerous situations.
• Often children cannot recognise the hazards pre-
sent in household appliances. It is therefore
important that you ensure adequate supervision
and never let children play with the appliance!

Appliance Packaging Information
All materials are environmentally sound! They can
be dumped or burned at an incinerating plant
without 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 recy-
cling collection location.
Disposal of old Appliances
For environmental reasons, refrigeration applian-
ces 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 lat-
ch closures.This eliminates the danger that playing
children lock themselves into the appliance (dan-
ger 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, espespecially the heat
exchanger at the back of the appliance, may not
be damaged.
• Information concerning collection schedules or
locations can be obtained from the local disposal
authorities or town hall.
Disposal
The appliance and the interior fittings are protected
for transport.
• Pull off the adhesive tape on the left and right side
of the door.
• Remove all adhesive tape and packing pieces
from the interior of the appliance.
Shelf holders
Your appliance is equipped with shelf retainers that
make it possible to secure the shelves during tran-
sportation.
To remove them proceed as follows:

+10 bis +32 °C
N
+16 bis +32 °C
ST

T
+18 bis +43 °C
Installation Location
The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated,
dry room.
Energy use is affected by the ambient temperatu-
re. 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 classifi-
cation, for which the appliance is designed.
The climate classification can be found on the
serial plate, which is located at the left on the insi-
de of the appliance.
The following table shows which ambient tempera-
ture is correct for each climate classification: each
climate classification:
Installation
If installation next to a source of heat is unavoida-
ble, the following minimum clearances must be
maintained 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 for-
mation of condensation on the outside of the
appliance.
