The appliance will function properly in ambient
temperatures of down to 5 °C.
Once a year, dust the refrigerating unit
together with the metal grille of the heat
exchanger at the back of the appliance.

1.3 Conformity
The refrigerant circuit is tested for leakage. The appliance
complies with the relevant safety regulations and EC Directives
2006/95/EC, 2004/108/EC, 2009/125/EC and 2010/30/EU.
1.6 Insulation plate
The insulation plate for part-load operation is available as an
accessory from specialist dealers.
Note for test institutions:
If you do not store much food in the appli-
ance, you can reduce the power consump-
tion by as much as 50 % by using the insu-
lation plate. Up to 5 drawers can be de-
energised, depending on model. At least 3
drawers are necessary for cooling. More
information accompanies the insulation
plate.
Tests are to be carried out according to the applicable
standards and guidelines.
Preparation and testing of the appliances must be carried
out taking the manufacturer's loading plans and the
notes in the operating manual into account.

-
Do not store explosives or sprays using
combustible propellants such as butane,
propane, pentane, etc. in the appliance. To
identify these spray cans, look for the list of
contents printed on the can, or a flame
symbol. Gases possibly escaping may ignite
due to electrical components.

Putting into operation
Always stand the appliance backed directly to the wall using
the enclosed wall spacers (see below).
q
4 Putting into operation
The appliance may be moved only when it is empty.
q
q
q
Do not install the appliance without assistance.
4.1 Transporting the appliance
The more R 600a refrigerant there is in the appliance, the
larger the room in which the appliance is standing needs to
be. In rooms that are too small, a flammable mix of gas and
air may be created if there is a leak. According to the EN
378 standard, every 11 g of R 600a refrigerant requires at
least 1 m3 space in the room for the appliance. The amount
of refrigerant in your appliance is on the type plate inside the
appliance.
CAUTION
Risk of injury and danger of damage as a result of incorrect
transport!
Transport the appliance in a packed condition.
Transport the appliance upright.
u
u
u
Do not transport the appliance without assistance.
Detach the connecting cable from the rear of the appliance,
removing the cable holder at the same time because other-
wise there will be vibratory noise!
u
4.2 Installing the appliance
Remove the protective film from the decorative trims.
u
u
Remove all transit supports.
The spacers supplied with some appliances must be used to
achieve the stated energy consumption. These will extend the
depth of the appliance by approx. 35 mm. The appliance is fully
functional if the spacers are not used, but does have a slightly
higher energy consumption.
WARNING
Fire hazard due to dampness!
If live parts or the mains lead become damp this may cause
short circuits.
The appliance is designed for use in enclosed areas. Do not
operate the appliance outdoors or in areas where it is
exposed to splash water or damp conditions.
u
In the case of an appliance with
enclosed wall spacers, mount the
wall spacers on the back of the
appliance at the top left and right.
u
WARNING
Risk of fire due to short circuit!
If the mains cable/connector of the appliance or of another
appliance touch the rear of the appliance, the mains cable/
connector may be damaged by the appliance vibrations,
leading to a short circuit.
Dispose of packaging material (see 4.5) .
Align the appliance so that it
stands firmly and on a level by
applying the accompanying
spanner to the adjustable-
height feet (A) and using a
spirit level.
u
u
Stand the appliance so that it is not touched by connectors
or main cables.
u
Do not plug the appliance or any others into sockets located
near the rear of the appliance.
u
WARNING
Fire hazard due to refrigerant!
The refrigerant R 600a is environmentally friendly but flam-
mable. Escaping refrigerant may ignite.
Do not damage the piping of the refrigeration circuit.
u
WARNING
Note
Fire hazard and danger of damage!
Clean the appliance (see 6.2) .
u
Do not place appliances emitting heat e.g. microwaves,
toasters etc. on the appliance!
u
If the appliance is installed in a very damp environment,
condensate may form on the outside of the appliance.
Always see to good ventilation at the installation site.
u
WARNING
4.3 Changing over the door hinges
You can change over the door hinges if necessary.
Blocked ventilation openings pose a risk of fire and damage!
Always keep the ventilation openings clear. Always ensure
that the appliance is properly ventilated!

9 Disposing of the appliance
The appliance contains some reusable materials

with unsorted household refuse. Appliances which
are no longer needed must be disposed of in a
professional and appropriate way, in accordance
with the current local regulations and laws.
When disposing of the appliance, ensure that the refrigeration
circuit is not damaged to prevent uncontrolled escape of the
refrigerant it contains (data on type plate) and oil.
Disable the appliance.
