Cleaning before use
To remove the odour which is present in all
new appliances, wipe the interior with dilut-
ed vinegar prior to first use. Then wipe it out
with clean water and dry all of the parts off
afterwards.
Commissioning the appliance
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
Touching live parts may result in severe
injury or death.
■
Do not operate or continue to oper-
ate the appliance if
–
it shows visible signs of damage,
e.g. the power cord is defective,
–
starts smoking or there is a smell of
burning,
–
it makes unfamiliar noises.
In such cases, remove the mains plug
from the socket or unscrew/isolate
the fuse and contact our service de-
partment (see page EN-30).
■
Do not connect to a timer or a sepa-
rate remote-controlled system for dis-
tance monitoring and control.
■
If the mains plug is no longer acces-
sible after installation, an all-pole dis-
connecting device complying with
overvoltage category III must be
connected to the house wiring with a
contact gap of at least 3 mm; this in-
cludes fuses, circuit breakers and con-
tactors.
■
Do not kink or pinch the mains cable
or lay it over sharp edges. This can re-
sult in a break in the cable.
■
When positioning the appliance, en-
sure the supply cord is not trapped or
damaged.
■
Do not locate multiple portable sock-
et outlets or portable power supplies
at the rear of the appliance.
CAUTION
Fire hazard!
Improper handling of the appliance can
lead to fi re and damage to property.
■
Connect the appliance only to a
properly installed and earthed elec-
tric socket. Do not connect to a mul-
ti-socket extension cable or a mul-
ti-socket plug.
NOTICE
Risk of damage!
If the cooling unit has been transport-
ed horizontally, lubricant from the com-
pressor may get into the cooling circuit.
■
Allow the appliance to stand upright
for approx. 2 hours after transport
and before connecting. This allows
the lubricant enough time to fl ow
back into the compressor.
• Insert the mains plug into an easily ac-
cessible and properly installed socket
(220-240 V~ / 50 Hz). The fridge light is
automatically switched on and off when
the upper door is open or closed.
You will find all important information
about operation from page EN-11.
