Nevertheless, we consider it our obligation to make you aware of the following safety information: Intended use • The refrigerator is intended for use in the home. It is suitable for the freezing and storing of frozen food, as well as for making ice.
mains plug, cut off the mains cable, break or remove spring or boltcatches, if fitted. By doing this you ensure that children cannot lock themselves in the fridge when playing (there is risk of suffocation!)or get themselves into other dangerous situations. • Often children cannot recognise the hazards present in household appliances.
Disposal Appliance Packaging Information All materials are environmentally sound! They can be dumped or burned at an incinerating plant without danger! About the materials: The plastics can be recycled and are identified as follows: >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. the outer covering and the bags in the interior. >PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g. the pads, which are all free of chlorofluorocarbon.
Installation Installation Location The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room. Energy use is affected by the ambient temperature. The appliance should therefore – not be exposed to direct sunlight; – not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat; – only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature corresponds to the climate classification, for which the appliance is designed.
A 10 mm B 10 mm For safety reasons, minimum ventilationmust be as shown Fig. Attention: keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction; 100 mm Your appliance needs air NP007 Rehingeing the door The side at which the door opens can be changed from the right side (factory adjustment) to the left side, if the installation site requires.

Attention: After having reversed the opening direction of the doors check that all the screws are properly tightened and that the magnetic seal adheres to the cabinet. If the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the gasket may not fit perfectly to the cabinet. in that case, wait for the natural fitting of the gasket or accelerate this process by heating up the part involved with a normal hairdrier.

The red temperature pilot-lamp (4) comes on when: – the appliance has been started up but the storage temperature has not yet been attained; – the minimum storage temperature is no longer being maintained (fault); – excessive amounts of fresh food are placed inside; or – if the appliance door is open for too long.
Freezing and storing frozen food You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself. Important! • The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18 °C or colder before freezing food. • Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The freezing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be frozen within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food several days in a row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4 of that on the rating plate.
1. Place the packed food in the drawers. Place food to be frozen As shown in figure. Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the frozen food could begin to defrost. 2. Press the fast freeze button 24 hours before introducing fresh food for freezing of fresh food. The yellow light comes on. 3. Place frozen foods in the drawers sorted by type, as far as possible. Index tabs are supplied for placing on drawers.
Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pretreating before freezing. The lower value applies to foods with high fat content. • By attaching the included index-tabs to the drawers, they can be marked according to which type of foods the individual compartments contain.
Defrosting The freezer compartment, however, will become progrssively covered with frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided, whenever the tickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm. During this operation it is not necessary to switch off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs. However when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out as follows: 1.
