• When you dispose of the appliance, unplug it from the wall outlet, cut the power cord and remove the door. This will prevent children playing on the appliance from injuring themselves, getting hit or getting trapped.
• If this machine replaces an older machine with a spring lock and latch on the door or lid, disable the spring lock and latch before disposing of the old machine. This will prevent children from getting trapped and suffocating.

General advice

• Keep ventilation openings in the unit housing or in the built-in cabinet free of obstacles.
• Do not use mechanical devices or other means to speed up the defrosting process.
• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
• Do not use other electrical appliances, such as ice machines, inside refrigeration appliances unless they are approved for this purpose by the manufacturer.
• If there is a light bulb inside the appliance, do not touch it. If it has been switched on for a long time, it can become very hot. The light bulb supplied with this unit is a special bulb that may only be used with the unit supplied. This light bulb is not suitable for household lighting. Do not use the unit without the light bulb.
• When setting up the machine, take care not to pinch or damage the power cord.
• Do not store explosive substances such as spray cans containing a flammable propellant in this appliance.
• During transport and installation of the unit, take care not to damage any components of the refrigerant circuit.
• Avoid naked flames and sources of ignition near the unit.
• Thoroughly and regularly ventilate the room in which the unit is located.
• It is dangerous to modify this product in any way. Any damage to the cable may cause a short circuit, fire or electric shock.
• All electrical components such as the plug, power cord and compressor must be replaced by a certified service centre or by qualified service personnel.

This appliance contains the coolant isobutane (R600a),a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is flammable, it does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect. The use of this 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,and does not have any adverse effect on the performance of the appliance. Care must be taken during the transportation and setting up of the appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can damage the eyes.

Notes on daily use

• Do not put hot food in the machine.
• Do not place food directly against the rear panel.
• Frozen food must not be refrozen after defrosting.
•  Store packaged frozen food according to the instructions of the frozen food manufacturer.
• Do not place carbonated fizzy drinks in the freezer compartment as the pressure they generate can cause them to explode and damage the appliance.
• Open the door as rarely as possible.
• Do not leave the door open too long.
• Do not set the thermostat too low.
• To reduce energy consumption, leave all accessories, such as drawers, shelves or racks in the appliance.

Notes on installation

• Unpack the machine and check for damage. Do not connect the machine if it is damaged. Report any damage immediately to the manufacturer. Save the original packaging for possible return shipment.
• Wait at least four hours before connecting the unit to allow the coolant to distribute itself in the cooling circuit.
• Ensure that there is sufficient air circulation around the unit. Otherwise, the unit may overheat.
• If possible, the spacers on the unit should rest against the wall. This prevents burns caused by touching the hot compressor or condenser.
• The unit must not be installed near radiators or cookers.
• Make sure that the mains plug is always accessible after the unit has been installed.
• Install this unit in a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate class indicated on the unit‘s nameplate:

Setting the temperature
Press the SET key to enter the temperature setting mode. The temperature display bar moves a little to the right each time the key is pressed. The temperature can be set from MIN to MAX. The MAX setting is the coldest. The temperature is automatically adopted 5 seconds after the last key press.

Note: Normally, it is recommended to set the temperature to NORMAL or colder for optimal food preservation. The longest storage time at this setting is no longer than 1 month. A lower setting may shorten the storage time.

Super frost function
Press the SET key several times to go from MAX to SUPER mode. The indicator bar flashes while the SUPER indicator light is on. This mode is automatically adopted 5 seconds after the last key press. The compressor operates in Super Frost mode. If
the Super-Frost mode has been running for 52 hours and is not stopped manually in between, the system will automatically turn off this mode and switch to setting level 5.

CLEANING AND CARE

Cleaning

• For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly.
• Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse. Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in elec- trical components. Hot vapors can lead to the damage of plastic parts. The appliance must be dry before it is placed back into service.
• Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g. lemon juice or the juice form orange peel, butyric acid, cleanser that contain acetic acid.
• Do not allow such substances to come into contact the appliance parts.
• Do not use any abrasive cleaners.
• Remove the food from the freezer. Store them in a cool place, well covered.
• Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water.
•  After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry.
• After everything is dry place appliance back into service.

Defrosting of the freezer
The freezer, however, will become progressively covered with frost. This should be removed. Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it. However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out as fellows:

• Unplug the unit. Remove the drain plug from the inside of the freezer. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster keep the freezer door open.
• For draining, place a tray beneath the outer drain plug.
• Pull out the drain dial .
• Rotate the drain dial 180 degree. This will let the water flow out in the tray.
• When done, push the drain dial in. Re-plug the drain plug inside the freezer.
• Note: Monitor the container under the drain to avoid overflow.
• Wipe the interior of the freezer and replace the electrical plug in the electrical outlet.
• Reset the temperature control to the desired setting.

TROUBLESHOOTING

the plug is firmly plugged into the socket.

Check whether the mains voltage is too low.
Determine if there is a power failure or short circuit.

Abnormal noise| Buzz: The compressor may buzz during operation and the buzzing is particularly loud during starting and stopping. This is normal.
Creaking: Coolant flowing in the unit can cause a

creaking, which is normal.
