This installation and operating manual may apply to several pro-
duct models.
Therefore there may be slight differences between some of the
details and equipment on your device and those described in
the manual.
Important advice and information
This product is intended exclusively for private use and is desig-
ned to store and cool food.
The following safety rules must be observed. We do not accept
responsibility or warranty claims from material damage or per-
sonal injury arising from use that is not in compliance with these
instructions.
The product must be installed, secured if necessary, and used in
accordance with the recommendations in this manual and opera-
ting instructions in order to avoid damage and danger caused by
unstable attachment or improper installation.
If the product was transported in a horizontal position, it should
be positioned vertically. Next, you should wait two hours before
connecting it. A small amount of oil may have leaked from the
cooling circuit, and it needs time to run back to the engine before
the product is connected, otherwise it may be damaged.
If the product is on wheels, remember that they are only inten-
ded to facilitate small movements.
Do not use them to move the refrigerator across large distances.
Clean the refrigerator for the first time before connecting to the
grid. The plug must be pulled out of the socket before carrying
out any maintenance. Do not pull the cord to unplug; instead, pull
the plug itself out of the socket.
Never place bottles or glass containing liquid in the cooler unless
they are only filled to two-thirds: liquid expands in the cooling
state, and the container may explode.
Do not use other methods than shown in this guide to speed up
defrosting.
Do not use electrical appliances inside the boxes designed to
store frozen foods, unless recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not allow children to play with the product, and keep pets
away from it. Old appliances must immediately be taken out of
use. Pull the plug out of the socket and cut the wire flush with
the product. Restrict use of the door or remove it completely to
prevent children or animals from getting locked inside.
In the event of problems that cannot be resolved using our ad-
vice (see ”Troubleshooting), please only contact our authorized
service centers or an authorized repair professional.
The cooling circuit of the refrigerator contains the refrigerant
isobutane (R600a), a natural gas that is non-polluting but flam-
mable. Make sure that none of the cooling circuit components
are damaged during transportation and installation. In the event
of damage, the cooler/refrigerator must kept away from open
flame and any heat or ignition, and the room must be ventilated.
Only after a proper installation that complies with the recommen-
dations given in this manual is it possible to store food under the
proper conditions and achieve optimized power consumption.
To limit electricity usage:
- Place the refrigerator in an appropriate place.
- The door must be opened for as short a time as possible.
Do not place food that is still warm in the cooler, especially
soup or other dishes that emit steam.
- Make sure to keep the product functioning optimally by
cleaning the condenser regularly (see ”Regular Maintenance
Product”).
- Check the seals around the door regularly, and make sure
that they close properly at all times. If not, contact the
service department.
In accordance with the latest environmental protection regula-
tions, this product contains no CFCs. It does, however, contain a
cooling gas called R600a. The exact type of gas is clearly stated
on the label plate located on the inside of the refrigerator at the
bottom left.
R600a is a non-polluting gas that does not destroy the ozone
layer, and thus does not contribute to the greenhouse effect.
This product may emit trickling sounds. This is normal, and is due
to the interplay between compressor oil and refrigerant.
