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:

OPERATION

Before the first use
Before using the appliance for the first time, wipe the interior and all internal parts with lukewarm water and a little neutral detergent. Then dry the parts carefully. Important: Do not use harsh cleaning agents or abrasive cleaners as they will damage the surfaces.

Setting the thermostat

• Insert the plug into the socket. The internal temperature can be adjusted using the thermostat. There are 3 settings: MIN, NORMAL and MAX, where MAX is the coldest setting…
• Too hot environments or opening the door too often can cause the refrigerator to cool down inefficiently!

Daily use
Place different foods in different compartments, as described in the following table:

foods suitable for freezing.

•  Lower shelf/drawer: meat, poultry, fish.

•  Upper shelf/drawer: Ice cream, frozen fruit, frozen bakery products.

Freezing food

• The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a longer period of time.
• Freeze fresh food in the bottom compartment.
• The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the type plate.
• The freezing process takes 24 hours. Do not add any more food during this time.

Storage of frozen food

• When using the appliance for the first time or after a long period of use, run the appliance for at least 2 hours at a higher setting before putting food in it.
• If there is a longer power failure and the frozen food thaws, use it up immediately. Do not refreeze the defrosted food.

Defrosting

• Frozen or deep-frozen food can be defrosted before use in the refrigerator or at room temperature, depending on how quickly you want it to defrost.
• Smaller pieces can even be cooked while still frozen, in which case the cooking time is slightly longer.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

For hygienic reasons, the interior, including the interior fi ttings, should be cleaned regularly.
CAUTION: Danger of injury! Before cleaning, switch off the appliance and unplug the appliance from the power outlet to prevent electric shock.

• Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture can accumulate in electrical components and increase the risk of electric shock! Hot vapours can damage the unit and its surfaces.
• The unit must be dry before it is put back into operation.
• Do not clean the unit with essential oils and organic solvents; they can attack the plastic parts. These include lemon juice, butyric acid or cleaning agents containing acetic acid. Do not allow these substances to come into contact with the parts of the machine.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners
• Clean the appliance and internal accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water. After cleaning, wipe all parts with fresh water and allow to dry.
• Do not use the appliance again until all parts are dry.

Defrost the freezer
In the freezer, ice collects on the walls over time. The ice should be removed regularly. Never use sharp metal objects to scrape off the ice, as this could damage the appliance. If the layer of ice inside becomes very thick, let it defrost completely.

1. Unplug the appliance from the power outlet;
2. Remove all food and store it in a cool place.
3. Leave the door open and place a drip tray or bowl under the appliance to collect the defrost water.
4. When the ice has completely defrosted, dry the interior thoroughly.
5. Then reconnect the plug to the power outlet and start the appliance.
