User instructions

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.

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)

The remaining materials are:

shaped parts in PS (foamed CFC-free posysterene) the remaining materials are 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

a)Unpack the fridge / freezer.

b)In order not to unnecessarily waste raw materials, the handles (requiring smaller packaging) have not been mounted onto the appliance.

Mount the door handles and at the same time any other enclosed parts according to the relevant instructions enclosed separately.

c)Remove any objects from inside the appliance.

d)Carefully remove all film and adhesive tape from the casing from the door.

e)Remove any polystyrene pieces from around the compressor (if present).

f)THERemove 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	3 cm
from a radiator or oven etc.	30 cm
from another refrigerating appliance	2 cm

Do not place any appliances, microwaves, toasters etc. which give off heat on the appliance.

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 repair the rrefrigerating system.
