Important Safety Instructions These warnings are provided in the interests of your safety. Ensure you fully understand them before installing or using the appliance. Your safety is of paramount importance. If you are unsure about the meaning of these warnings contact the Customer Care Department for assistance. Intended use • The freezer is intended for use in the home. It is suitable for the freezing of fresh food and storing frozen food, as well as for making ice.
Important Safety Instructions • Please make old appliances unusable prior to disposal. Pull out the mains plug, cut off the mains cable, break or remove spring or bolt catches, if fitted. By doing this you ensure that children cannot lock themselves in the appliance 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 disposed of 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 and efficient performance of the appliance 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.
Installation Your freezer needs ventilation Integratable models (i-appliances) The integrated door of the furniture cabinet largely seals the installation recess. iappliances must therefore be provided with ventilation by having an opening in the furniture plinth. The warmed air must be able to be exhausted upwards through the air shaft on the furniture back. The ventilation cross-sections should be at least 200 cm2.

Prior to Initial Start–Up ☞ Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial start-up (see section: “Cleaning and Care”). Operating and indicator panel Important! Only use the appliance when built-in! ➀ ➁➂➃ ➄ 1 2 3 4 5 6 30 ➅ Fast freeze button, also used to switch off the warning tone Fast freeze light (yellow) Warning light (red) Pilot light (green) ON/OFF switch Thermostat control knob The appliance can be activated/deactivated by pressing the ON/OFF switch (5).
Operating and indicator panel The red temperature warning light (3) comes on when: – the appliance has been started up but the storage temperature has not yet been reached; – 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. Warning system The warning system comprises of an optical warning light (red) and an acoustic warning tone.
Starting up and temperature regulation ☞ Switch the appliance on by pressing the ON/OFF switch (5). The following effects are of significance in respect of the interior temperature: – Ambient temperature; – Quantity and temperature of the food stored; – Frequency with which the door is opened and how long it is left open. The following temperature settings can therefore only be considered as recommendations that may well need to be adapted to suit your particular situation.
Switching off the appliance ☞ To switch off the appliance, turn the thermostat control knob to position "0" and press the ON/OFF switch. If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period: 1. Remove all deep-frozen packages as well as ice-trays. 2. Switch off the appliance by turning the temperature regulator to position "0" or pressing the ON/OFF switch. 3. Remove the mains plug or switch off or disconnect from the electricity supply. 4.
2. All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods occurs. Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could stick to the food and cause skin abrasions. 3. Place the packed food in the drawers. Place food to be frozen in the appliance´s two top drawers (2) and (3). Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the frozen food could begin to defrost.
Preparation of Ice Cubes the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer ☞1. Fill compartment and leave to freeze. 2. To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend the ice cube tray or hold it under running water for a few seconds. Important! Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer compartment using pointed or sharp edged objects. Use the ice scraper supplied.
3. Remove all drawers. Insert the plastic scraper in the special location to act as an extension channel and place a basin underneath to collect the defrost water. Tip: To speed up the defrosting process, place a pan with warm water in the appliance and close the door. Remove pieces of ice that have fallen before they completely defrost. 4. After defrosting, thoroughly clean the freezer compartment and interior fittings ( see "Cleaning and Care" section). 5.
4. Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water. Commercially available dish washing detergents may also be used. 5. After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry. To guarantee a safe operation of the fridge, once a year remove the ventilation grille at the base and clean the air channels with a vacuum cleaner. 6. After everything is dry, switch to fast freeze. After running the appliance for two or three hours, it is ready again for storing frozen food.

Note: The customer bears the costs of unjustified customer service calls even during the guarantee period. Noises during Operation The following noises are characteristic of refrigeration appliances: • Clicks Whenever the compressor switches on or off, a click can be heard. • Humming As soon as the compressor is in operation, you can hear it humming. • Bubbling/Splashing When refrigerant flows into thin tubes, you can hear bubbling or splashing noises.
Technical terminology • Refrigerant Liquids that can be used to a generate a cooling effect are known as refrigerants. They have a relatively low boiling-point, indeed so low, that the warmth from the food stored in the fridge or freezer can cause the refrigerant to boil and vaporise. • Refrigerant Circuit Closed circulation system that contains the refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit comprises primarily of an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser and pipe work.
