-Corrugated board/board
-Moulded polystyrene (foamed,
-Polythene bags and sheets
-Polypropylene straps
WKeep packaging materials away from children - poly- thene sheets and bags can suffocate!

Your old appliance:
This contains some reusable materials and should be disposed of properly - not simply with unsorted house- hold refuse.
WDisable discarded appliances immediately by removing the plug and cutting through the connection cable.

WMake sure that the refrigerant circuit of an appliance that is no longer needed is not damaged before it is collected or handed in at a municipal collection point so as to ensure that the refrigerant or oil does not escape into the environment.
-Exact details of the refrigerant used can be found on the type plate. The heat insulator is PU with Pentane.
-Information on collection dates or collection points can be obtained from the waste disposal authorities or your local council.
Technical safety
WTo prevent injury or damage to the unit, the ap- pliance should only be transported wrapped and set up by two people.
WThe refrigerant R 600a is environmentally friendly but flammable.
WDo not damage the refrigerant circuit pipes. Splashes of refrigerant can harm your eyes or ignite.
WIf refrigerant escapes, remove all naked flames or sources of ignition in the vicinity of the leak, disconnect the ap- pliance from the mains and ventilate the area well.
WIn the event that the appliance is damaged, contact the supplier immediately before connecting to the mains.
WTo guarantee safe operation, ensure that the appliance is set up and connected as described in these operating instructions.
WDisconnect the appliance from the mains if any fault oc- curs. Pull out the plug (not by pulling on the mains cable) or switch off or remove the fuse.
WAny repairs and work on the appliance should only be car- ried out by the customer service department, as unauthor- ised work could prove highly dangerous for the user. The same applies to changing the mains power cable.
Safety during use
WDo not store explosives or sprays using combus- tible propellants such as butane, propane, pentane, etc. in the appliance. Electrical components might cause leaking gas to ignite. You can identify such sprays by the printed contents or a flame symbol.
WOnly store
WDo not allow naked flames or ignition sources to enter the appliance.
WDo not use electrical appliances inside the appliance (e.g. steam cleaners, heaters, ice makers, etc.).
WDo not stand on the plinth, drawers or doors or use them to support anything else.
WThis appliance is not intended for use by persons (includ- ing children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given initial supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
WAvoid prolonged skin contact with cold surfaces or chilled/frozen food. This could cause pain, numbness and frostbite. In the case of prolonged skin contact, protective measures should be taken, e.g. gloves should be worn.
WDo not eat
WDo not consume food which has been stored for too long, as it could cause food poisoning.
Setting up
WWhen setting up/fitting ensure that the refrigerant circuit pipes are not damaged.
WOnce in position, use the 10 spanner provided to adjust the feet so that the appliance is level and does not wobble.
WAvoid positioning in direct sunlight or next to an oven, radiator or similar, in damp locations or near spraying water.
The basement is an ideal site for installation.
WStandard EN 378 specifies that the room in which you install your appliance must have a volume of 1 m3 per 8 g of R 600a refrigerant used in the appliance, so as to avoid the formation of inflammable gas/air mixtures in the room where the appliance is located in the event of a leak in the refrigerant circuit. The quantity of refrigerant used in your appliance is indicated on the type plate on the inside of the appliance.
WThe ventilation grilles should not be obstructed. Always ensure that there is good ventilation and that the outward flowing air is able to escape.
Please note the appendix concerning installation instructions.
WDo not place
WRemove all transportation safety components.
