Cleaning before use
In order to remove the odour which is pres-
ent with all new appliances, wipe the interior
space and the freezer baskets (2) prior to first
use with a water and vinegar solution. Then
wipe it out with clean water and dry all of the
parts off afterwards.
Connecting the appliance to
electricity
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
Touching live parts may result in severe
injury or death.
■
Do not operate or continue to oper-
ate the appliance if
–
it shows visible signs of damage,
e.g. the power cord is defective,
–
it starts smoking or there is a smell
of burning,
–
it makes unfamiliar noises.
In such cases, remove the mains plug
from the socket or unscrew/isolate
the fuse and contact our service de-
partment (see page GB-25).
■
It is not permitted to connect the ap-
pliance to a timer or separate remote
control system for the purposes of re-
motely monitoring and controlling.
■
If the mains plug is no longer acces-
sible after installation, an all-pole dis-
connecting device complying with
overvoltage category III must be
connected to the house wiring with a
contact gap of at least 3 mm; this in-
cludes fuses, circuit breakers and con-
tactors.
■
Do not kink or pinch the mains cord
or lay it over sharp edges. This can re-
sult in a break in the cable.
CAUTION
Fire hazard!
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to fi re and property damage.
■
Only connect the appliance to a
properly installed and earthed elec-
tric socket. Do not connect to a mul-
ti-socket extension cable or a mul-
ti-socket plug.
NOTICE
Risk of damage!
If the refrigerator has been transported
vertically, lubricant from the compres-
sor may have got into the refrigeration
circuit.
■
Allow the appliance to stand upright
for approx. 2 hours after transport
and before connecting. This allows
the lubricant enough time to fl ow
back into the compressor.
• Insert the mains plug into an easily acces-
sible and properly installed socket (220-
240 V~ / 50 Hz).
You will find all important information
about operation from page GB-11.
