User

instructions

The

user

instructions

apply

to

several

models,

for

this

reason

there

may

be

some

differences

in

the

details

given,

according

to

the

type

of

the

appliance.

1

Protecting

the

environment

/

advice

for

disposal

Packing

serves

to

protect

the

appliance

during

transportation

and

recyclable

materials

have

been

used

for

packaging.

Corrugated

board/cardboard

(mainly

from

waste

paper)

■

shaped

parts

in

PS

(foamed

CFC-free

polystyrene)

■

foils

and

bags

in

PE

(polyethylene)

■

strapping

tapes

in

PP

(polypropylene)

■

Please

hand

over

all

packaging

to

the

nearest

official

collection

point,

so

that

all

the

different

materials

can

be

re

-used

or

recycled

as

far

as

possible

and

any

illegal

depositing

of

such

materials

is

thus

avoided.

2

Deciding

where

to

locate

your

appliance

In

order

to

avoid

any

damage

or

injury

to

persons

or

things,

the

appliance

should

be

unpacked

by

two

people

and

placed

in

the

chosen

location

Before

positioning

it,

check

that

your

new

appliance

has

no

visible

outer

damage.

On

no

account

should

you

start

up

your

appliance

if

it

is

damaged.

Check

the

appliance

carefully

for:

■

Damage

to

the

packaging

which

might

indicate

that

the

appliance

has

been

mishandled

during

transportation.

■

Damage

to

the

outer

casing

■

Any

visible

damage

to

the

cable

/

plug

If

in

any

doubt

let

the

customer

service

department

check

the

appliance.

It

must

at

all

costs

be

avoided,

that

any

environmentally

damaging

refrigerant

leaks

out

by

starting

up

the

appliance.

Unpack

the

fridge

/

freezer.

In

order

not

to

unnecessarily

waste

raw

materials,

the

handles

(requiring

smaller

packaging)

have

not

been

mounted

onto

the

separate

parts

of

the

appliance.

Mount

the

door

handles

and

at

the

same

time

any

other

enclosed

parts

according

to

the

relevant

instructions

enclosed

separately.

Remove

any

objects

from

inside

the

appliance.

Carefully

remove

all

film

and

adhesive

tape

from

the

casing

from

the

door

Remove

any

polystyrene

pieces

from

around

the

compressor

(if

present).

Remove

all

documents

and

accessories

from

inside

the

appliance.

Instruction

for

use

g)

Clean

the

inside

of

the

appliance

with

lukewarm

water

and

vinegar

and

dry

it

thoroughly

with

a

soft

cloth.

Do

not

use

washing

liquids,

sharp

or

abrasive

household

products

or

any

other

cleaning

agents

containing

soda.

■

Make

sure

that

the

pipes

for

the

circulation

of

the

refrigerant

are

not

damaged

in

any

way

during

installation

of

the

appliance.

■

The

appliance

must

only

be

used

for

the

purpose

for

which

it

is

intended.

■

The

appliance.

must

be

placed

on

a

firm,

level

surface.

This

is

the

only

way

to

ensure

that

the

refrigerant

can

circulate

freely

and

thus

ensure

that

your

appliance

will

work

efficiently.

■

If

possible,

place

your

appliance

in

a

cool,

well

aired,

dry

room.

■

Do

not

place

your

appliance

in

direct

sunlight,

nor

in

a

room

at

high

temperature.

■

Do

not

place

your

appliance

in

the

vicinity

of

any

sources

of

direct

heat

such

as

heating,

ovens,

cooking

stove

etc.

(This

would

mean

the

compressor

would

have

to

work

harder

and

as

a

result

the

power

consumption

would

be

considerably

higher).

If

installation

near

a

direct

heat

source

cannot

be

avoided,

we

recommend

fitting

a

suitable

insulation

plate

between

the

appliance

and

the

heat

source

(do

not

use

asbestos),

or

at

least

the

following

minimum

distances

must

be

observed:

■

from

a

gas

or

electric

cooker

3

cm

■

from

a

radiator

or

oven

etc.

30

cm

■

from

another

refrigerating

appliance

2

cm

■

Do

not

place

any

appliances,

such

as

microwaves,

toasters

etc.

which

give

off

heat

on

the

appliance.

Never

obstruct

the

ventilation

grille.

Always

pull

out

the

plug

itself

and

never

pull

the

cable

when

cutting

the

appliance off

from

the

mains

supply.

WARNING

!

Leave

the

appliance

standing

in

its

final

position

for

at

least

2

hours

before

switching

it

on,

so

that

the

circulation

of

the

refrigerant

stabilises

and

no

operating

problems

occur.

Before

connecting

up

the

appliance,

make

sure

that

it

is

absolutely

dry

inside-

especially

in

the

corners.

Danger

warnings

Depending

on

its

composition,

the

refrigerant

can

be

easily

inflammable.

The

refrigerant

circuit

has

been

hermetically

sealed

and

has

been

tested

many

times

for

possible

leaks.

Any

inexpert

interference

might

well

create

a

fire

hazard.

Make

sure

nothing

mechanically

effects

the

circulation

of

the

refrigerant,

nor,

in

particular,

the

accessible

parts

around

the

compressor.

Only

expert

professional

personnel

should

intervene

on

the

refrigerating

system.
