Setting up
•The floor on which the appliance stands should be horizon- tal and level. To compensate for any unevenness, adjust the height of the feet with an open-ended wrench.
•Always position the appliance directly up against the wall.
•The ventilation grilles should not be obstructed.
•Condensation may form on the outside of the refrigerator/ freezer during periods of high humidity. Constant ventilation of the installation site is recommend.
•Do not place heat-emitting appliances, e.g. microwave oven, toaster, etc., on top of the freezer.
•Keep burning candles, lamps and other items with naked flames away from the appliance so that they do not set the appliance on fire.
•Standard 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.
•Fire hazard due to dampness!
If live parts or the mains lead become damp this may cause short circuits.
-The appliance is designed for use in enclosed areas. Do not operate the appliance outdoors or in areas where it is exposed
to splash water or damp conditions.
• CAUTION! Risk of injury and danger of damage as a result of incorrect transport!
-Transport the appliance in a packed condition.
-Transport the appliance upright.
-Do not transport the appliance without assistance.
•The appliance may be moved only when it is empty.
WARNING
Risk of fire due to short circuit!
If the mains cable/connector of the appliance or of another appliance touch the rear of the appliance, the mains cable/ connector may be damaged by the appliance vibrations, leading to a short circuit.
•Stand the appliance so that it is not touched by connectors or main cables.
•Do not plug the appliance or any others into sockets located near the rear of the appliance.
Connecting to the mains
Power supply (a.c.) and voltage at the operating point must comply with the details on the type plate which is located on the left-hand inside wall, next to the top freezer drawer. The socket must be fused with a 10 A fuse or higher. The socket should be easily accessible and not directly behind the appliance.
•Connect the appliance through a properly earthed plug and socket.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to the electronic control system!
WDo not use stand-alone inverters (conversion of d.c. to a.c./ three-phase) or energy saving plugs.
WARNING
Fire and overheating hazard!
WDo not use extension cables or multiple socket outlets.

Saving energy
-Always ensure good ventilation. Do not cover ventilation openings or grille.
-Do not place appliance in areas of direct sunlight or next to a stove, heater or similar object.
-The energy consumption depends on the installation con- ditions, e.g. the ambient temperature.
-Keep the time the appliance is open to a minimum.
-The lower the temperature setting, the higher the power consumption.
-Store food logically.
-Ensure that all food is well packed and covered for stor- age. This will prevent frost from forming.
-Remove food as needed in order that it does not warm too much.
-First cool warm food to room temperature before storing it.
-If there is a thick layer of frost in the appliance: defrost the appliance.
Accumulated dust increases the energy consumption:
-Once a year, dust the refrigerating unit together with the metal grille of the heat exchanger at the back of the appliance.
Switching the appliance on and off
You are recommended to clean the appliance before switch- ing it on for the first time (see "Cleaning"). Switch the ap- pliance on 4 hours before loading it with frozen food for the first time.
Off: Using a coin, turn the arrow on the temperature control
1to a setting between "1" und "6".
–The green ON-LED 2 is lit.
–The red warning-LED 3 twinkle up.
–The red warning-LED is unlit as soon as the freezer com- partment is cold enough (see "Red warning-LED").
To switch the appliance off: Turn the arrow on the temper- ature control 1 to "0". The visual control-LED are unlit.
A
Setting the temperature
Setting "1" = lowest cooling setting, warm
Setting "6" = highest cooling setting, cold
•We recommend a medium setting.
•If you are storing frozen food and wish to ensure that the low freezing temperature is maintained, we recommend setting the temperature control to between "4" and "6".
•For long-term storage of frozen food a temperature of at least -18°C is recommended. Remember that the tempera- ture depends on the ambient temperature (location of ap- pliance), the number of times the door is opened and how much frozen food is stored. The setting should be adjusted accordingly if necessary.
The red visual warning LED
The red warning-LED 3 lits up if the temperature in the freezer compartment is not cold enough, i.e. when the tem- perature is above -8°C.
If the red warning-LED comes on during normal operation, check:
–whether there has been a lengthy interruption to the power supply; check the quality of the frozen food and prepare for consumption if necessary,
–whether the door is properly shut,
–whether fresh food has recently been inserted.
If none of the above apply, consult your nearest customer service department as soon as possible, giving details of the type of appliance, index and service number.
