Setting up

• Do not place the appliance in direct sunlight or near cookers, radiators and similar sources of heat.

• The floor on which the appliance stands should be horizontal and level. Compensate for uneven floors with the adjustable feet.

•

Do not cover ventilation openings or grille.

• Standard EN 378 specifies that the room in which you install your appliance must have a volume of 1 m 3 per 8 g of R 600a refrigerant used in the appliance, so as to avoid the formation of inflammable gas/air mixtures in the room where the appliance is located in the event of a leak in the refrigerant circuit. The quantity of refrigerant used in your appliance is indicated on the type plate on the inside of the appliance.

• Always install the appliance directly against the wall.

Switching the appliance on and off

You are recommended to clean the interior of the appliance before switching it on for the first time (see Cleaning).

Switching the appliance on

Connect the appliance to the mains - the appliance is switched on.

Switching the appliance off

Pull out the mains plug or set the temperature control to 0.

Important

When the temperature control is turned to "0", the refrigeration system is switched off, but the appliance is not completely disconnected from the mains.

Before cleaning, always disconnect the appliance from the mains. Remove the plug.

Appliance dimensions (mm)

Setting the temperature

Set the temperature inside the appliance using the temperature control.

The nearer the temperature control is to the max. setting, the colder the interior temperature.

Set the control between "0" and "max." as required.

Electrical connection

Only operate the appliance with alternating current (AC).

The permissible voltage and frequency are indicated on the type plate. The position of the type plate is shown in the section entitled

Description of the appliance.

The socket must be properly earthed and protected by a fuse.

The tripping current of the fuse must be between 10 A and 16 A.

The socket must not be situated behind the appliance and must be easily accessible.

Do not connect the appliance using an extension cable or extension socket.

Do not use stand-alone inverters (conversion of direct current to alternating current/threephase current) or energy-saving plugs. Risk of damage to the electronic control system!

Temperature display

The temperature display is powered by a battery which is available from your specialist dealer.

Changing the battery

• Open the battery compartment using a small screwdriver.

• Replace the battery.

• Close the battery compartment.

If Er or HH appears in the display, the appliance has a fault.

Consult the customer serv ice department indicating the fault number displayed.

Safety lock

The lock in the appliance door is equipped with a safety mechanism.

Locking the appliance

• Insert the key as shown by arrow 1.

• Turn the key 90°.

To unlock the appliance, the same procedure must be repeated in the same order.

Defrosting

The refrigerator compartment defrosts automatically.

1 The defrost water drains into a tray situated below the evaporator. This tray must be emptied from time to time.

Pull the tray out towards you and empty.

2 To avoid having to empty the defrost water collection tray frequently, you can place a container under the drain opening in the tray.

When operating at a very cold thermostat setting, the interior rear wall may ice up.

In this case, the appliance must be defrosted manually.

•

Pull out the mains plug!

• Transfer items to other appliances.

• Leave the door of the appliance open while defrosting. After defrosting mop up the remaining water and clean the appliance.

Do not use any mechanical devices or other artificial aids for defrosting other than those recommended by the manufactur er.

Cleaning

Clean the appliance at least twice per year.

Before cleaning always switch off the appliance. Pull out the mains plug or switch off or unscrew the fuse.

• Clean the inside, equipment and outer walls with lukewarm water and a little detergent. Do not use abrasive or acid cleaners or chemical solvents.

• Ensure that no cleaning water penetrates into the elec trical components or ventilation grille.

• The dust should be removed from the refrigeration unit and heat exchanger - metal grid at the back of the appliance - once a year.

• Do not damage or remove the type plate on the inside of the appliance. It is very important for servicing purposes.

WARNING

Only clean plastic parts with a damp cloth!

Risk of electrostatic discharge.

Do not use steam cleaners because of the risk of injury and damage.

Malfunctions

If a malfunction occurs during operation, check whether it is due to an operating error.

You may be able to rectify the following faults yourself:

• Appliance does not function:

– Is the appliance switched on?

– Is the plug correctly fitted in the mains socket?

– Is the fuse intact?

• Loud running noise:

– Is the appliance set up firmly on the floor?

– Does the appliance cause nearby items of furniture or objects to vibrate? Please note that noises caused by the refrigerant circuit cannot be avoided.

• The temperature is not low enough:

– Is the temperature setting correct (see "Setting the temperature")?

– Does the separately installed thermometer show the correct reading?

– Is the ventilation system working properly?

– Is the appliance set up too close to a heat source?

If none of the above causes apply and you cannot rectify the fault yourself, contact the nearest customer service department stating the type designation ber ber
