Daily Operation

• Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures.
There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flamma-
ble materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill car-
tridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.
• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer compartment. They can
burst when the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even
explode! Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc. in
the freezer compartment. Exception: high alcohol content spirits can be
stored in the freezer compartment.
• Do not put ice creams or ice cubes in the mouth immediately after remo-
val from the freezer compartment. Very cold ice can freeze to the lips or
tongue and cause injury.
• Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze to the
food.
• Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigerator/freezer (e.g.
electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.).
• Before cleaning the appliance, always switch off the appliance and unplug
it, or pull the house fuse or switch off the circuit breaker.
• When unplugging always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull
on the cable.

Positioning

This appliance should only be installed at a location where the ambient
temperature corresponds to the climate classification indicated on the rat-
ing plate, which is located at the left on the inside of the appliance.
The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each
climate classification:
SN +10°C to + 32°C
N +16°C to + 32°C
ST +18°C to + 38°C
T +18°C to + 43°C
For correct operation this appliance
must be located in a dry atmosphere,
away from heat sources, e.g. cookers,
radiators, boilers and direct sunlight.
You should also ensure that air can
circulate freely around the back and
the top of the cabinet. There should
be 100mm (4”) between the top of
the cabinet and any overhanging
kitchenfurniture. Alternatively allow
50mm (2”) between the top of the
cabinet and any overhanging
kitchen furniture and a gap of
25mm (1”) on either side of the
appliance.
Do not obstruct the space under-
neath. The back of the cabinet may
be placed close to the wall but must
not touch it. DONOT install in places
with restricted ventilation.
Adjust the level of the appliance by
screwing out the adjustable foot, or
feet, at the bottom of the cabinet
using your fingers.
