Directions for use
In the following, you will find all the important information
for the use of your appliance.
The instructions for use apply to several models, which is
why details of the information may differ according to the
type of the appliance.
1
Installation (Choice of position for installation)
Strictly avoid high ambient temperatures and direct
sunlight. We advise you to place your appliance in a cool,
well aired, dry room. Installation in the immediate vicinity of
a heat source (heating, oven etc.) is highly inappropriate
(increased compressor performance would be necessary
and, as a result, energy consumption would be considerably
higher).
If the installation near a heat source cannot be avoided, a
suitable insulation plate must be fitted between the
appliance and the heat source (do not use asbestos), or
the following minimum distances must be observed:
•
from gas or electric cooker
3 cm
•
from radiator or oven
5 cm
•
from a wall, piece of furniture or
another appliance
2 cm
Never obstruct the ventilation grid
Larger chest freezers are equipped with a ventilation grille
(k)
located below on one side. These appliances can be
placed directly against a wall or a piece of furniture but not
with the side protected with the ventilation grille.
Freezers without ventilation grid
Leave sufficient space between the rear of the appliance
and the wall to ensure that outward flow of warm air is able
to escape.
The appliance must be placed horizontally and on a
levelled base. Only this way can an impeded circuit of the
refrigerant and optimum function be ensured.
IMPORTANT!
Leave the appliance stand in the final position for at
least 2 hours before switch ing it on, so that the
refrigerant circuit stabilises and no operating problems
occur.
The odour which is typical of all new appliances is easy to
remove.
Thoroughly clean the interior compartment with a mixture of
lukewarm water and vinegar
.
Do not use washing liquids, sharp or granular cleaning
implements, or any cleaning products containing soda.
Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the inner
area – especially the corners – is absolutely dry.
Danger warning
Depending on its composition, the refrigerant is easily
inflammable. The refrigerant circuit is hermetically sealed
and the density has been subject to repeated tests.
An improper intervention can cause acute fire hazard.
Omit any mechanical influence on the cooling system,
especially on the
condenser
as far as available.
With some appliances the condenser is built into the
external wall.
Interventions on the cooling system must be carried out by
professional and authorised personnel only.
IMPORTANT!
Escaping refrigerant can injure your eyes.
In the event of eye contact with the refrigerant, wash your
eyes instantly under plenty of running water and
call/consult an eye specialist immediately.
KLIMATE CLASSES
The appliance, according to its climate category, is meant
for use at certain room temperatures.
These temperatures should not be exceeded! The climate
category for your particular appliance is marked on the
rating plate. The categories are:
name of climate

Rating plate
The rating plate (with technical data) is located on the
housing (D) at the rear of the appliance.
Take a note of the technical data
Copy the technical data from the rating plate to here so that
it is at any time readily available, without having to move
the appliance

Connection to power supply
Your appliance must be connected to a power socked with
grounded connection, which is conform to the respective
standards and has been installed by an authorised
specialist.
Before you connect the plug of the appliance with the
power socket, make absolutely sure that
the voltage (V) on the appliance’s data-plate corresponds
with that of your mains.
If the voltage differs, notify the after-sales-service or your
dealer immediately, and do not on any account connect the
appliance to the mains.
4
Switching on / off temperature selection
(Thermostat) (l)
The temperature control switches the appliance on and off
and controls/sets the cooling temperature.
To prevent temperature being accidentally modified, the
control is intentionally resistant to turning. To vary the
setting, we recommend to use a coin or screwdriver.
