Description of the appliance

Disposal of the packing

material

The transport and protective packing

has been selected from materials which

are environmentally friendly for

disposal, and can normally be

recycled.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings,

bags etc. are disposed of safely and

kept out of the reach of babies and

young children. Danger of suffocation!

Rather than just throwing these

materials away, please ensure that they

are recycled.

Disposal of your old appliance

Please ensure that the appliance

presents no danger to children while

being stored for disposal.

It should be unplugged or

disconnected from the mains electricity

supply by a competent person. The

plug must be rendered useless and the

cable cut off directly behind the

appliance to prevent misuse. See the

"Warning and Safety" section of this

booklet for further details.

Electrical and electronic appliances

often contain materials which, if

handled or disposed of incorrectly,

could be potentially hazardous to

human health and to the environment.

They are, however, essential for the

correct functioning of your appliance.

Please dispose of your old appliance at

your local community waste collection /

recycling centre and not with your

household waste.

Take care not to damage the pipework

at the back of it before or during

transportation to an authorised

collection depot.

In this way, refrigerant in the pipework

and oil in the compressor will be

contained, and will not leak out into the

environment.

Caring for the environment

This appliance complies with all

relevant legal safety requirements.

Improper use can, however, present

a risk of both personal injury and

material damage.

To avoid the risk of accidents and

damage to the appliance, read the

operating instructions carefully

before installation and before using

for the first time. They contain

important notes on the installation,

safety, operation and care of the

appliance.

Keep these operating instructions in

a safe place and pass them on to

any future user.

Correct use

This appliance is intended for

domestic use only for the cool

storage of food and drinks as well as

for storing deep frozen food, freezing

fresh food and for preparing ice.

Any other usage is not supported by

the manufacturer and could be

dangerous. The manufacturer cannot

be held liable for damage caused by

incorrect or improper use of the

appliance.

This appliance is not a toy! To

avoid the risk of injury do not allow

children to play on or near it, or to play

with the controls. Supervise its use by

the elderly or infirm.

Technical safety

This appliance contains the coolant

Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas

which is very environmentally friendly.

Although it is flammable, it does not

damage the ozone layer and does not

increase the greenhouse effect. The

use of this environmentally friendly

coolant has, however, led to a slight

increase in the noise level of the

appliance. In addition to the noise of

the compressor, you might be able to

hear the coolant flowing around the

system. This is unavoidable, but does

not have any adverse effect on the

performance of the appliance.

Care must be taken during the

transportation and installation of the

appliance that no parts of the coolant

system are damaged. Leaking coolant

can damage the eyes.

In the event of any damage:

- avoid open fires

and anything which creates a spark,

- disconnect from the mains,

- air the room in which the appliance is

located for several minutes and

- contact the Service Department

for advice.

The more coolant there is in an

appliance, the larger the room it

should be installed in. In the event of a

leakage, if the appliance is in a small

room, there is the danger of

combustible gases building up.

For every 8 g of coolant at least 1 m3of

room space is required. The amount of

coolant in the appliance is stated on the

data plate inside the appliance.

Warning and Safety instructions

Before connecting the appliance to

the mains supply, make sure that

the rating on the data plate

corresponds to the voltage and

frequency of the household supply.

This data must correspond in order to

avoid the risk of damage to the

appliance. Consult a qualified

electrician if in any doubt.

The electrical safety of this

appliance can only be guaranteed

when continuity is complete between it

and an effective earthing system which

complies with local and national safety

regulations. It is most important that this

basic safety requirement is present and

regularly. Where there is any doubt, the

household wiring system should be

inspected by a qualified electrician.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable

for the consequences of an inadequate

earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Safe operation of the appliance is

only assured if it has been installed

and connected in accordance with

these operating and installation

instructions.

This equipment is not designed for

maritime use or for use in mobile

installations such as caravans, aircraft

etc. However it may be suitable for

such usage subject to a risk

assessment of the installation being

carried out by a suitably qualified

engineer.

Installation work, maintenance and

repairs may only be carried out by

suitably qualified and competent

persons to ensure safety.

Repairs and other work by unqualified

persons could be dangerous and the

manufacturer will not be held liable.

Ensure current is not supplied to the

appliance while maintenance or repair

work is being carried out.

The appliance is only completely

isolated from the electricity supply

when:

–it has been switched off at the socket

and the plug has been withdrawn.

– the mains fuse has been withdrawn,

– the screw-out fuse is removed (in

countries where this is applicable).

Do not connect the appliance to

the mains electricity supply by an

extension lead.

Extension leads do not guarantee the

required safety of the appliance (e.g.

danger of overheating).

Use

Never handle frozen food with wet

hands. Your hands may freeze to

the frozen food. Danger of frost burn.

Do not take ice cubes out with your

bare hands and never place ice

cubes or ice lollies in your mouth

straight from the freezer. The very low

temperature of the frozen ice or lollies

can cause frost burn to the lips and

tongue.

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not refreeze thawed or partially

thawed food.

Defrosted food should be used up as

quickly as possible, as food soon loses

it nutritional value and goes off.

Defrosted food may only be re-frozen

after it has been cooked.

Never store explosive materials in

the appliance. Thermostats

switching on may produce sparks

which could present a fire hazard.

Flammable compounds could explode.

Do not use any electrical

equipment in this appliance, e.g.

ice cream makers. Danger of sparking

and explosion!

If storing alcohol with a high

percentage proof, make sure it is

tightly closed and stored upright.

Danger of explosion.

Do not store cans or bottles

containing carbonated drinks or

liquids which could freeze in the

freezer. The cans or bottles could

explode.

Danger of injury and damage to the

appliance.

When cooling drinks quickly in the

freezer, make sure bottles are not

left in for more than one hour.

Observe the "use by" dates given

on food to avoid the risk of food

poisoning.

Storage times will depend on several

factors, including the freshness and

quality of the food as well as the

temperature at which it is stored. Follow

the instructions given on food

manufacturer’s packaging on storage

conditions required, as well as the "use

by" date.

Do not use sharp edged objects to

–remove frost and ice,

– separate frozen foods or remove ice

trays.

They will damage the evaporator,

causing irreversible damage to the

appliance.

Never place electric heaters or

candles in the appliance to defrost

it. These can damage the plastic parts.

Do not use defrosting sprays or

de-icers, as they might contain

substances which could damage the

plastic parts or which could cause a

build-up of gases and pose a danger to

health.

Do not use any oils or grease on

the door seals, as these will cause

the seals to deteriorate and become

porous with time.

Do not block the ventilation gaps in

the plinth or the top of the

appliance housing unit as this would

impair the efficiency of the appliance,

increase the electricity consumption

and could cause damage to the

appliance.

Warning and Safety instructions

The appliance is designed for use

within certain climate ranges

(ambient temperatures), and should not

be used outside this range. The climate

range for your appliance is stated on

the data plate inside the appliance.

Installing it in a room with too low an

ambient temperature, e.g. a garage,

will lead to the appliance switching off

for longer periods so that it cannot

maintain the required temperature.

Never use a steam-cleaning

appliance to defrost or clean this

appliance. Pressurised steam could

reach the electrical components and

cause a short circuit.

In countries where there are areas

which may be subject to infestation

by cockroaches or other vermin, pay

particular attention to keeping the

appliance and its surroundings in a

clean condition at all times. Any

damage which may be caused by

cockroaches or other vermin will not be

covered by the appliance guarantee.

Disposal of your old appliance

Before disposing of an old

appliance, first make the door latch

or lock unusable.

This way you will prevent children from

accidentally locking themselves in and

endangering their lives.

Disconnect it from the mains, cut

off the cable and render any plug

unusable.

Be careful not to damage any part

of the pipework whilst awaiting

disposal, e.g. by

– puncturing the refrigerant channels

in the evaporator.

– bending any pipework.

– scratching the surface coating.

Splashes of refrigerant can damage the

eyes.

The manufacturer cannot be held

liable for damage caused by

non-compliance with these Warning

and Safety instructions.
