Risk of suffocation for children!
Keep the packaging film away from children
so that it cannot suffocate them.
Caution!
The thermal insulation in your appliance
consists of polyurethane with environmen-
tally friendly pentane insulation foam. Do not
use any electric heaters, scrapers, knives or
other instruments with open flames such as
candles to defrost the appliance. The ther-
mal insulation and interior compartments are
sensitive to heat and might melt.
Leave the appliance in a stable position for
at least 3 hours after installing it, so that the
refrigerant can settle. The compressor might
be damaged otherwise.
When you first put the appliance into use, let
it run for 24 hours without any interruption.
If you happen to switch off the appliance or
pull the mains plug from the socket during
this period, wait for at least 5 minutes be-
fore switching on the appliance again or re-
inserting the plug. The compressor might be
damaged otherwise.
Do not use any caustic or scouring deter-
gents or sponges to clean the appliance.
They might damage the surfaces.
As the interior walls are sensitive to scratch-
ing and to heat, do not use any tools such as
ice scrapers, heat radiators or similar equip-
ment to remove ice that has formed. They
might the insulation to be scratched.
Never use defrosting sprays. They can cre-
ate explosive gases. Do not use any electric
heating devices, open flames or ice scrap-
ers either. They might cause the insulation
to melt or to be scratched.
The door seal can be damaged by oil and
grease, which make the rubber porous and
brittle and cause the door seal to leak. Ac-
cordingly, only use clean water to clean the
door seal.
Detergents containing sand, soda or acid
are absolutely unsuitable. Universal cleaners
with a neutral pH value are recommended.
Make sure that no water used for cleaning
penetrates into the ventilation slots, the elec-
trical parts and the drainage hole.
Only use light bulbs of max. 15 W, 230 V, and
fitting E 14.

Preparing the appliance

Basic cleaning

Caution!
Never use agressive or gritty cleansers or
cleansers containing soap, soda or solvents
as they might affect the surface of the appli-
ance.
• You can remove thesmell that is inherent in all
new appliances by wiping the interior compart-
ment with lukewarm water with a little vinegar
added.

The right location

Danger of fire!
Do not place any appliance that gives off
heat, such as microwave ovens, toasters
etc., on the appliance.
Do not cover or close ventilation slots.
You need a free space of 54 x 60 x 144 cm (w x d
x h) in which to install the appliance.
To achieve optimum refrigeration with the lowest
possible energy consumption, the location:
– must be a dry, properly ventilated room which is
not too warm.
– must be out of direct sunlight.
A location immediately next to an oven, heater or
radiator is not ideal. Please observe the following
minimum distances:
from electric heaters
from radiators, oil, gas and
coal-fired heaters
from cooling appliances
from washing machines / dishwashers
