IMPORTANT!
If your new appliance has been bought to replace an
older model, please make the old appliance unusable
at once: pull the plug out of the socket, cut the
connecting lead off, and dispose of the plug together
with the remaining lead in an environmentally friendly
manner.
Any snap catch or lock on your old appliance should
also be made unusable before you put the appliance
away or hand it over to be disposed of in an environ-
mentally friendly manner.
In this way you can prevent children from locking them-
selves in when playing and thus endangering their lives.
Please make sure that the pipelines of your fridge-
freezer are not damaged before collection for envi-
ronment-friendly disposal.

Before starting up, we recommend you to read th
following Operating Instructions, since only by doing
so can you benefit from all the advantages offered by
your refrigerator. These Operating Instruction are
intended for several technically comparable models
with different equipment. Please only follow the
instructions corresponding to your appliance version.
Removing the adhesive tapes
The door is secured to the housing with adhesive
tapes. Remove any adhesive tape residues with a
suitable petroleum-based cleansing agent.
Choice of location
Your refrigerator should be installed in a well venti-
lated, dry room. Never install your refrigerator near a
heater or oven or in direct sunlight.
Do not install in a room whose temperature may fall
below +16 C or exceed +32 C for any length of
time.
Your refrigerator should be installed on a firm, level
surface. Correct any floor irregularities by twisting the
adjustable feet in or out.
Commercial use
Should you use your home refrigerator commercially
or for purposes other than refrigeration of food and
drinks, you must observe the legal requirements
applicable to your area.

Your freezer needs air

Fig. 1
The refrigerating unit of your refrigerator is designed
for maintenance-free operation. What it should
never lack is good ventilation. Air is supplied under
the door through the ventilation slot between the
refrigerator and storage surface. Air is extracted
through the upper ventilation grille. Never obstruct
these openings by plinth screens or crockery.
If your refrigerator is installed under a continuous
worktop, an air outlet opening of at least 200 cm
and a ventilation grille (A/B) matching the worktop
design should be provided at the rear of the worktop
(Fig. 1). The cut surfaces of the worktop (C) should
be varnished to avoid swelling due to penetration of
moisture.
The appliance wall distance must be at least 30 mm
and should be checked before the ventilation grille is
inserted.
