Safety instructions and warnings
Disposal notes
The packaging is made of recyclable materials. - Corrugated board/board
- EPS moulded parts - Polythene sheets
- Polypropylene straps
WKeep packaging materials away from children - poly- thene sheets and bags can cause suffocation!
Please return the packaging to an official collection point.W
Your old appliance: This contains some reusable materials and should be disposed of properly - not simply with unsorted household refuse.
W Discarded appliances should be disabled: Remove the plug, cut through the connection cable and render the catch unusable so that children cannot become trapped inside.
W Ensure that the refrigerant circuit is not damaged when the appliance that is no longer needed is taken away for disposal.
W Details of the refrigerant can be found on the type plate. W Appliances which are no longer needed must be disposed
of in a professional and appropriate way, in accordance with the current local regulations and laws.
Technical safety
W To prevent injury or damage to the unit, the ap- pliance should only be transported wrapped and set up by two people.
W The refrigerant R 600a is environmentally friendly but flam- mable.
W Do not damage the refrigerant circuit pipes. Splashes of refrigerant can harm your eyes or ignite.
W If 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.
W In the event that the appliance is damaged, contact the supplier immediately before connecting to the mains.
W To guarantee safe operation, ensure that the appliance is set up and connected as described in these operating instructions.
W Disconnect 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.
W Any 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
W Do not store explosives or sprays using combustible pro- pellants such as butane, propane, pentane, etc. in the ap- pliance. Electrical components might cause leaking gas to ignite. You can identify such sprays by the printed contents or a flame symbol.
W Only store
W Do not allow naked flames or ignition sources to enter the appliance.
W Do not use electrical appliances inside the appliance (e.g. steam cleaners, heaters, ice makers, etc.).
W Do not stand on the plinth, drawers or doors or use them to support anything else.
W This 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 con- cerning 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.
W Avoid prolonged skin contact with cold surfaces or chilled/ frozen food. This could cause pain, numbness and frost- bite. In the case of prolonged skin contact, protective measures should be taken, e.g. gloves should be worn.
W Do not eat
W Do not consume food which has been stored for too long, as it could cause food poisoning.
Setting up
W When setting up/fitting ensure that the refrigerant circuit pipes are not damaged.
W Once in position, use the 10 spanner provided to adjust the feet so that the appliance is level and does not wobble.
W Avoid positioning in direct sunlight or next to an oven, ra- diator or similar, in damp locations or near spraying water. The basement is an ideal site for installation.
W Always position the appliance directly up against the wall. W 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.
W The ventilation grilles should not be obstructed.
Always ensure that there is good ventilation and that the outward flowing air is able to escape. Condensation may form on the outside of the refrigerator/freezer during periods of high humid- ity. Constant ventilation of the installation site is recommend.
Please note the appendix concerning installation instruc- tions.
W Do not place
W In order to avoid the risk of fire, do not place any burning candles, lamps or other objects with open flames on the refrigerator/freezer.
W Remove all transportation safety components.
Connecting to the mains
Power supply (AC) and voltage
at the operating point must comply with the details on
the type plate, which is located inside the appliance on the left, fig. A.
W Connect the appliance with a properly earthed fused plug and socket only.
W The socket must be fused with a 10 A fuse or higher, it must be away from the rear of the appliance and must be easily accessible.
W Do not
- connect to
- operate with
- connect to the supply with other equipment using an exten- sion cable - risk of overheating.
W When removing the mains cable from the back of the appli- ance, remove the cable holder so as to avoid vibration noise.
