Setting up

Do not place the appliance in direct sunlight or near cookers, radiators and similar sources of heat.
Do not place heat-emitting appliances, e.g. microwave oven, toaster, etc., on top of the appliance.
The more coolant there is in the appliance, the larger the room in which the appliance is installed must be. If the room is too small, any leak may create a flammable mixture of gas and air.
For each 8 g of coolant the installation space must be at least 1 m³. Information on the coolant is on the model plate inside the appliance.
Always install the appliance directly against the wall.

Electrical connection
Only operate the appliance with alternating current (AC).
The permissible voltage and frequency are indicated on the type
plate. The position of the type plate is shown in the section entitled
Description of the appliance.
The socket must be properly earthed and protected by a fuse.
The tripping current of the fuse must be between 10 A and 16 A.
The socket must not be situated behind the appliance and must be easily accessible.

Do not connect the appliance using an extension cable or extension socket.

Do not use stand-alone inverters (conversion of direct current to alternating current/three phase current) or energy-saving plugs. Risk of damage to the electronic control system!

Switching the appliance on and off Switching the appliance on
Connect the appliance to the mains – the appliance is switched on.

Note
Once the mains plug has been inserted, the refrigeration unit may not come on until up to 8 minutes later. This is required to protect the electronic controls.

Switching the appliance off
Pull out the mains plug or set the temperature control .
Note
When the temperature control is turned to “0”, the refrigeration
system is switched off, but the appliance is not completely disconnected from the mains.

The nearer the temperature control is to the max. setting, the colder the interior temperature. Set the control between “0” and “max.” as required.
Note
The temperature in the warmest area of the interior may be higher than the temperature setting.
If the door is left open for a lengthy period, the temperature in the appliance’s compartments may rise dramatically.

Changing the battery

Open the battery compartment using a small screwdriver.
Replace the battery.
Close the battery compartment.

If Er or HH appears in the display, the appliance has a fault. Consult the customer service department indicating the fault number displayed.

Cooling
The grid shelves can be moved to accommodate different height bottles or packages.
The ventilation slots on the inside must not be covered!

NOTICE
Store raw meat or fish in clean sealed containers on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator/freezer compartment so that it cannot come into contact with any other food or drip liquid onto it.
A failure to follow these instructions may result in the food being spoilt.

Safety lock
The lock in the appliance door is equipped with a safety mechanism.

Locking the appliance

Insert the key as shown by arrow 1.
Turn the key 90°.

To unlock the appliance, the same procedure must be repeated in the same order.

Defrosting
The refrigerator compartment defrosts automatically.
When operating at a very cold thermostat setting, the interior rear wall may ice up. In this case, the appliance must be defrosted manually.

Pull out the mains plug!
Remove the food from the appliance and store in a cool place.
Leave the door of the appliance open while defrosting. After defrosting mop up the remaining water and clean the appliance.

Cleaning

WARNING
Before cleaning, always disconnect the appliance from the mains. Pull out the plug or switch off the fuse.
Surfaces which may come into contact with food and accessible drain systems must be cleaned at regular intervals.

CAUTION
Risk of damage to the appliance components and risk of injury due to hot steam.
Do not use steam cleaning equipment to clean the appliance.

Clean the inside, equipment parts and outer walls with lukewarm water and a little detergent. Do not use chemical solvents or any cleaning agents containing sand or acid.
Ensure that no cleaning water penetrates into the electrical components or ventilation grille.
Dry all parts well with a cloth.
The dust should be removed from the refrigeration unit and heat exchanger – metal grid at the back of the appliance – once a year.
Do not damage or remove the type plate on the inside of the appliance. It is very important for servicing purposes.

Malfunctions

You may be able to rectify the following faults by checking the possible causes yourself:

Appliance does not function:
- Is the appliance switched on?
- Is the plug correctly fitted in the mains socket?
- Is the fuse intact?
The temperature is not low enough:
- Is the temperature setting correct (see “Setting the temperature”)?
- Does the separately installed thermometer show the correct reading?
- Is the ventilation system working properly?
- Is the appliance set up too close to a heat source?

If none of the above causes apply and you cannot rectify the fault yourself, contact the nearest customer service department stating the type designation 1, service number 2and appliance number3as indicated on the type plate.

The position of the type plate is shown in the section entitled
Description of the appliance.

Shutting your appliance down
If the appliance is left empty for a lengthy period, it must be switched off, defrosted, cleaned and dried and the door is to be left open to prevent mould formation.

NOTICE
The permissible room temperature for storing the appliance after decommissioning is between -10°C and +50°C.
Storing the appliance outside this temperature range can damage the appliance and cause it to malfunction.

Disposal notes

The appliance contains reusable materials and should be disposed of properly – not simply with unsorted household refuse. 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.

Do not damage the refrigerant circuit of an appliance that is no longer needed during its disposal.

This appliance contains inflammable gases in the refrigerant circuit and insulation foam.

Your local council or a waste disposal contractor can provide information about how to dispose of the appliance correctly.

Additional information:

Food will remain fresh for longer if stored at the correct temperature. This can prevent having to discard food needlessly.
If the condenser coil is not cleaned every year, it will significantly reduce the appliance’s efficiency.
The period during which spare parts, necessary for the repair of the refrigerating appliance with a direct sales function, are available is 10 years.
The minimum duration of the guarantee of the refrigerating appliance with a direct sales function offered by the manufacturer, importer or authorised representative is 2 years.
