The user instructions apply to several models, for this
reason there may be some differences in the details given,
according to the type of the appliance.
User instructions
1 Protecting the environment / advice for disposal
Packing
serves to protect the appliance during transportation and
recyclable materials have been used for packaging.
Corrugated board/cardboard (mainly form waste paper)
shaped parts in PS (foamed CFC-free posysterene)
foils and bags in PE (polyethylene)
strapping tapes in PP (polyethylene)
Please hand over all packaging to the nearest official
collection point, so that all the different materials can
be re-used or recycled as far as possible and any
illegal depositing of such materials is thus avoided.
2 Deciding where to locate your appliance
In order to avoid any damage or injury to persons or things,
the appliance should be unpacked by two people and
placed in the chosen location.
Before positioning it, check
that your new appliance
has no visible outer damage.
On no account
should you start up your appliance if it
is damaged.
Check the appliance carefully for:
Damage to the packaging
which might indicate that
the appliance has been mishandled during
transporation.
Damage to the outer casing
Any visible damage to the cable / plug
If in any doubt
let the customer service department check
the appliance.
It must at all costs be avoided,
that any environmentally
damaging refrigerant leaks out by starting up the appliance.
3 Installing your appliance
Unpack the fridge / freezer.
In order not to unnecessarily waste raw materials,
the handles (requiring smaller packaging) have not
been mounted onto the separate parts of the
appliance.
Mount the door handles and at the same time any
other enclosed parts according to the relevant
instructions enclosed separately.
Remove any objects from inside the appliance.
Carefully remove all film and adhesive tape
from the casing
from the door
Remove any polystyrene pleces from around the
compressor (if present).
Remove all documents and accessories from inside
the appliance.

Instruction for use
g)
Clean the inside of the appliance with lukewarm
water and vinegar and dry it thoroughly with a soft
cloth.
Do not use washing liquids, sharp or abrasive
household products or any other cleaning agents
containing soda.
Make sure that the pipes for the circulation of the
refrigerant are not damaged in any way during
installation of the appliance.
The appliance must only be used for the purpose for
which it is intended.
The appliance must be placed on a firm, level
surface.
This is the only way to ensure that the
refrigerant can circulate freely and thus ensure that
your appliance wil work efficiently.
If possible, place your appliance in a cool, well
aired, dry room.
Do not place your appliacne in direct sunlight, nor in
a room at high temperature.
Do not place your appliance in the vicinity of any
sources of direct heat such as heating, ovens, cooking
stove etc. (This would mean the compressor would
have to work harder and as a result the power
consumption would be considerably higher).
If installation near a direct heat source cannot be avoided,
we recommend fitting a suitable insulation plate between
the appliance and the heat source (do not use asbestos),
or at least the following minimum distances must be
observed:
from a gas or electric cooker
from a radiator or oven etc.
from another refrigerating appliance
Do not place any appliances, microwaves, toasters
etc. which give off heat on the appliance.
3 cm
30 cm
2 cm
Never obstruct the ventilation grille.
Always pull out the plug itself and never pull the cable
when cutting the appliance off from the mains supply.
WARNING!
Leave the appliance standing in its final position for
at least 2 hours before switching it on, so that the
circulation of the refrigerant stabilises and no
operating problems occur.
Before connecting up the appliance, make sure that
it is absolutely dry inside
- especially in the corners.
Danger warnings
Depending on its composition, the refrigerant can be
easily inflammable. The refrigerant circuit has been
hermetically sealed and has been tested many times for
possible leaks.
Any inexpert interference might well create a fire hazard.
Make sure nothing mechanically effects the circulation
of the refrigerant, nor, in particular, the accessible parts
around the compressor.
Only expert professional personnel should intervene
on the refrigerating system.
