– Close the doors to do this.
– Tilt the appliance backwards slightly and

Cleaning before use
To remove the odour that comes with all new
appliances, clean the appliance before using
it (see ‘Cleaning the fridge’ and ‘Cleaning the
freezer’ on page EN-28).
Connecting the appliance to
the power supply
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,
–
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-38).
■
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.
CAUTION
Fire hazard!
Improper handling of the appliance can
lead to fire and damage to property.
■
Connect the appliance only to a
properly installed and earthed elec-
tric socket. Do not connect to a multi-
socket extension cable or a multi-
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.
■
If possible, do not tilt the cooling ap-
pliance horizontally.
■
Allow the appliance to stand upright
for approx. 2 hours after transport
and before connecting. This allows
the lubricant enough time to flow
back into the compressor.
• Insert the mains plug into an easily acces-
sible socket (220–240 V~ / 50 Hz).
When you open the door of the refrigera-
tor, you will hear a beeping sound and the
appliance’s interior will light up.
The appliance is checked for function-
ality before being delivered. The most
recently made settings are retained. If
the appliance was switched into ‘holiday
mode’ during the functional test, the fridge will
also be switched off upon being plugged in for
the first time.
You will find all important information
about operation from page EN-14.
