Before you can use the appliance
Position
Place the appliance in a location where the
ambient temperature corresponds to the
climate classification for which it is designed.
You can find the climate classification on the
circuit-diagram-serial-plate. The following
table shows this climate classification and its
matching ambient temperature:
SN 10 - 32 °C (cold environment)
N 16 - 32 °C (normal)
ST 16 - 38 °C (semi-tropical)
T 16 - 43 °C (tropical)
Place the appliance on a flat and stable
surface.
Make sure that there is sufficient ventilation,
leave a space of 10 cm around the appliance.
You can level the appliance using the
adjustable feet.
Leave the appliance to stand for at least 3
hours before you insert the plug into the
socket.
Cleaning
First, ensure that the interior is clean and dry.
For cleaning, use the suds of a neutral
cleansing agent (a general detergent or
washing-up liquid). After cleaning, rinse the
interior with clean water and rub dry.
Leave the appliance to dry for 1 or 2 hours.
Set the thermostat in the middle position.
Insert the plug into the socket. The appliance
now cools continuously until the set
temperature has been reached.

PREPARING FOR USE
For your safety
■ The house mains to which you should
connect the appliance should comply with
national and local regulations.
■ Connect the appliance to a wall socket
which has been fitted in accordance with
the current regulations.
■ Pay attention to the distance between the
refrigerator and any heat source. The
temperature of the mantle must not exceed
75 °C.
■ Never bend refrigerant pipes.
■ To avoid damaging the cooling system,
never clean the appliance with sharp
objects. In the event of damage to the
cooling system resulting in leakage of
refrigerant, ventilate the area. Warn the
Service department immediately.
■ Never use the plinth, drawers and shelves
as a step.
■ Never let children play with the appliance.
■ Repairs should only be carried out by a
recognised service engineer.
■ If you have received a damaged
refrigerator, contact your supplier
immediately.
■ Do not use an extension lead to connect up
the appliance.
■ The plug should be disconnected from the
wall socket during repair work and
cleaning.
■ Never pull the plug out of the socket by the
cable. Always grasp the plug firmly and
remove it straight from the socket.
■ Do not store any explosive or highly
inflammable substances in the freezer
compartment. Alcohol and liquids with a
high percentage of alcohol should only be
stored in closed, upright containers.
■ Do not keep in the freezer compartment
any bottles containing fluids which will
freeze. The freezing may cause the bottles
to break.
■ If you still have your old refrigerator at
home and no longer use it, remove the
door(s). This will prevent children shutting
themselves inside and endangering their
lives.
